STRAND

Flora Robson, England's leading character actress, who was drafted by Samuel Goldwyn for the role of Ellen Dean in his production of "Wuthering Heights" the romantic film drama now showing at the Strand theater, claims that Holly is the innocent victim of misrep- resentation overseas.
 When arrived in Hollywood, ], says the actress" to appear in Sam- uel Goldwyn's production of Emily Bronte'S immortal 'Wuthering Heights, co-starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier, I expected a city of weird and wonderful sights.
 T more than half expected to find the beaches lined with glamour girls in satin bathing costumes with diamond bangles and mink coats. I somehow imagined more than half the houses and places of business in Hollywood to be built in shapes re- Sembling Brown Derbies or Sphinx es or huge puppy dogs.
 T fully expected the bath tubs to be creations of marble and neon lights. should not have been sur- prised if the walters in my hotel suddenly waltzed away from my table to break into a complicated l dance routine enroute to the kitch- en,
 Instead, I find sober minded populace, overwhelming intent or the making of pictures-good pic tures-and a night life held to a minimum by the general prevalence of 2 o'clock calls to the various studios"

POLI'S

Out of the pages of John Herseys Pulitzer prize winning novel, "A Bell for Adano," hailed by the na- tion and the world as one of the greatest sellers of our time, comes the magnificent picturization now playing at the Loew-Poi theater. The brilliant cast of "A Bell For Adano" is headed by Gene Tierney, John Kodiak and William Bendix, with Glenn Langan, Richard Conte, Stanley Prager, Henry Morgan, Montague Banks and others among Hollywood's most talented character actors in important roles.
 This absorbing drama of an American major whose great heart and understanding make Democ- racy work in a community newly liberated from Fascist overlords takes place in a f1ctional, but typi- cal, Sicilian town named Adano. Typical Sicilian town-what would that look like today? Like some- thing hit it, Allied bombers prob ably; it would look like heap of rubble, a town laid waste, a town leveled to the ground.
 Named as one of the four most beautiful women in Hollywood, lovely Gene Tierney was a natural selection for the role of Tina, the beautiful Sicilian girl who befriends the lonesome Major Joppolo. Gene, long -called the screens most inter- national actress because of multiple ancestry, needed no makeup for her lovely olive skin, wore only lip stick.
 Gene Tierney, who became a blonde for this movie, was not the only one ordered to change her screen appearance to meet the re- quirementS of the Hersey charac- ters. Her co-star, John Kodak, un- derwent a severe military haircut, also grew a thick black mustache for his role of the sincere, straight forward American major who brought the real spirit of Democ- racy to the town so long under the heel of Fascism.
 William Bendix delivers one of the finest performances of his car eer in this stirring picture, but il practically cost the studio fleet of Wpewriters. For the picture, Bep- dix had to learn to pound the type writer for scenes involving military paper work. After the burly com edian had practically ruined three typewriters, prop man admonished ilim: Take it easy. Typewriters are scarcer than actors these days!" Packed with superb drama, TO- nance and matchless emotion, with all of the novels warmth, humor and overwhelming emotional im- pact, this is the great hit you will

WE, THE WOMEN Men Needn't Get Smoked Up
 About WOmen's Cigdret Buying

with good standing at their fa- vorite grocery store who have better luck getting an underline counter pack of cigarets with each grocery order than their husbands have at their favorite hang outs.
 And there are the hostesses who shop around for cigarets be- fore party because it Is so pleasant to hear guests exclaim, You don't mean you're passing cigarets aroundi"
 SOME GO OVERSEAS There are also the mothers, wives, and sweethearcts who buy cigarets to stick in overseas pack ages, along with candy and cookies. Not that women aren't smoking , their share of the scarce and pre- cious article. Plenty of them are standing in line for themselves, of course.
 But women don't smoke all the cigarets they buy today = any more than they eat all the meat they wheedle out of their butchers. They are just more resigned to shopping around than are men. Fact s, they get a kick out of buying scarce articles whether for their own use or for some else's gratitude.

TAKE IT EASY. CHUBBY

" 1 1A1AE IA EfA04s OAAODDA
 If all the girls and women who declare they are going on diet tomorrow or next week were laid end to end they'd go a long way, but I doubt if more than hand full of 'em would carry out the threat.
 Even if woman who is a bit too plump in spots or all over should seriously go on diet, my advice to her, and I'm concerned about her good looks, good morale and happiness nearly as much as I am about her health, is this: Take it easy, Chubby. Easy does it, easy and regular.
 Actually, am sure, fat women are not one whit more credulous or guillible than skinny ones. It isn't credulity or gullibility that makes so many chubby, stout, overweight women take up freak diets and pa- tronize slickers who massage and pummel customers to break down the fat cells''-presuming the suck CTS are not aware that there are no fiat cells in the body.
 All persons who are obese obvi- ously eat more than their bodies can use as fuel to supply heat or energy, or rather more than their bodies do use in their present mode of living. That portion of the food not so used is of course stored in the body as excessive fat. Food means not merely ordinary Wctuals but also candy, sweetened fountain beverages and limited amounts of alcohol if the individual consumes any beer, wine or liquor.
 There are two ways of going at a reduction regimen. You can go at it hammer and tongs, with the childish expectation of getting rid of the superfiuous flesh in eighteen days, the spare tire, the bay win dow, the camels hump 1t required at least 18 months of unrestrained eating( and maybe some drinking) to acquire. This plan brings disap- pointment, so far as any substan- tial reduction is concerned, in nine out of ten instances, and if the overweight individual adheres to such a severely restricted diet for any length of time such loss of weight as may me brought about gives her little satisfaction because almost invariably the victim suf- fers serious impairment of health and generally sad loss in good looks as well. If you ask me wom- an Is and looks dang sight better if she enjoys fair health and vite while carrying twenty pounds ex- cess weight than she does when and if she succeeds in tearing her. self down to or about correct weight by a few weeks of semi starvation.
 In the pamphlet How to Lose Weight" available on written re- quest if you provide self addressed stamped envelope, I explain why a reduction diet need not be menace to good health or good looks. In fact fair test of any reduction diet or regimen is this: Do you look and feel better after you have reduced appreciably? If not, then your reduction regimen is certain ly not safe for you to follow.

BY ALICIA HART

Almost every household chore can be a fordward pass in the game of figure improvement. When you squeeze oranges, for instance, what's to keep you from pivoting your head from one shoulder to the other, back and forth, to hold that line stable under your chin!
 Or when you shuck pods or string beans, why can't you swing 8 foot? Rotating an ankle-freeing one at time by crossing legs first one way, then the otlner-keeps it supple and trim.
 That most depised chore- scrubbing a floor-can be turned into exercise to build up strong muscular girdle. Get down on all- fours with mop or brush, and swing arms far and wide from a swing arms far and wide from a pushed-up back.

It is comparatively insigni- ficant, similar to ordinary wens in character, calls for no treatment unless it begins to give trouble, when it should be removed.

 'Mutiny on the Bounty and itz two sequels. Men Against the Sen and Pitcairn Island" rank high ill modern American literature, not only. because of their style but be- cause the authors, Charles NcrdhoE and Norman Hall, stuck to histor- ical fact with remarkable fidelity. I vaguely remember reading an ar ticle by Hall, in which he pr0clail1~ ed allegiance to fact as one of the most sacred duties of the historical novelist. So now what happensf Why, MGM is to make a sequel to 'Mutiny on the Bounty" in which history is going to take very brutal beating. Instead of being murdered on Pitcairn Island,' as he was fn fact, Fletcher Christian, portrayed by Clark Gable, Is going to cavert romantically through South Amer ica and then return to England t0 reorganize the Kings Navy. It may make a good picture, but there are many people who, remembering the former ideals of Nordof and Hall. are going to charge Hollywood with contributing to the delinquency Of historical novelists.
 Somebody's slipping: The other day, the following item appeared In local column: After inviting Brian Don1evy on his first deep sea. fishing expedition, Clark Gable and Director Walter Lang caught u0-s thing, while Donlevy landed a O. pound barracuda" The item was tucked away like an obscure after- thought, and that made my f1sher- mans blood boil. When a movie star catches fish CD that is nearly twice the size of the previous worlds record for California barracuda. it should rate bannerlines.
 I see that one producer "drove alI the way to Hollywood and Vine, just to fire oil his .45 when he re- ceived news of the Jap surrender.s The urge to fire a gun at that c0r~ ner is understandable. One sees so many people there whom 1t would be a pleasure to shoot.
