P. G. CT met a girl and I
have asked her to be my friend
because l like her very much
but she told me to wait until
she made up her mind. I have
waited for almost a month, every
time ! get in a conversation with
her, she is always in a rush.
Recently | met another girl who
seems very nice and she comes
on the base to see me. She re-
fuses to 60 any place without
me. She says she loves me but
l have to beg to see number
one girl. Which girl is for me?
Ans: Competition stimulates
interest. 60 with both girls
and enjoy their company, re-
framing from getting serious
with either one. Right now the
first girl seems to be the apple
of your eye" and as long as you
feel that way, you surely don't
want to get too serious with the
second girl. It is best not to
limit your dates to one girl only,
until you are convinced that you
are in love and have found your
true mate. At your age you
should be playing a wide field.

is deeply devoted to you else

that effect. No doubt, it took
this enforced separation to make
him aware of the fact. Keep
IN close contact with the Marine
as your letters are a source OF
inspiration to him. Avoid get

you can decide what your true

M. M. il need some advice.

in service and is stationed down
south. ! wish to 60 down where
he is but he thinks it is best
for me to remain here at home.
Now if he loved me he would
want me with him, don't you
think?
Ans: Not necessarily. He re-
allies that you can't possibly
live comfortably away from
home on the money allotted you
each month. Also it is quite a
problem to find living quarters
around the army camps. II he
had any idea that he was sta
toned there for a period of
months he would encourage you
to make a change. Under the
circumstances it is best that you
remain where you are, keep
working regularly and save your
money SO that when the oppor-
tunity presents itself you may
live with him again. Don't
question his love as this is no
true example. In this case, the
main issue is what is best for
you under the prevailing cir
cumstances.

State Bills Pyle s Film,
 Story of GI
 Joe AppeoIinq

Now playing at Warmers air con- ditioned State is the unforgettable Ernie Pyle's Story of G. I. Joe" starring Burgess Meredith as Ernie Pyle. It's the true story of every woman's fighting man. It's tender at times, often funny, but always human! Proof of is appeal is the capacity audiences that has been packing the State since its first showing on Wednesday.
 Starting Wednesday, is Bing Crosby's first effort at movie pro- duction '"rhe Great John L.. Bing has proved that he is as able to bring forth a picture with Success" marked all over it as he is at creat- ing song hits with his celebrated tonsils. "T.he Great John L" is an ingenious, ingratiating film packed with lusty Irish humor and the warm nostalgia of an earlier day. The picture stars Linda Darnell and Barbara Britton and introduces Greg Mcclure in the title role. MT. Mcclure, a handsome, brawny lad who matches the fabulous great lawn muscle for muscle, seemed to us very happy choice for the por- trayal of the mighty pugilist.
 "The Great John L" is, as the title suggests, a history of that greatest of American heavyweights, John L. Sullivan. But more than simple record of Sullivan's ability, the film is in fact an unfolding of one of the most fascinating American eras. The story follows Sullivan's life from his start in Boston where he earned the title of "The Boston Strong Boy," through his famous fights with John Flood, Paddy Ryan and Jim Corbett; his fall from grace and his final emergence as one of the most popular figures on the Chattauqua circuit.
 Greg Mcclure gives a three di- mensional portrayal as Sullivan. The young actors understanding and sympathy for the part are appar- ent and he creates a lovable, roister- ing picture of the man he enacts. Equally outstanding are Linda Dar- nell and Barbara Britton who play the two beautiful women in John Ls life.
 On the same program is the happy fiesta of music, romance and fun, "The Gay Senorita" starring Jinx Falkenburg. It's packed with scin- tillating senoritas, gay costumes, sensational sambas and rhythmic

tUmhbeU ETeSS Ufama E0ltOrD
 New York (UP) = The only new show Broadway is likely to see in at least two and a half months is 'Marinka," an operetta. It bowed in during vacation last month as the only July opening and nothing is scheduled for presentation in Au- gust.
 So, as the only new thing around, the theater-Starved might as well take 1t in, but it is hardly to be recommended on any other grounds. The music is by Emmerich Kal- man, who has been master of the Viennese operatta for many years, but 1t is not too impressive. Even so it is the best part of the entertainment.
 The book that has been fashioned by George Marion, Jr., and Karl Farkas is, to be gentle about it, un- inspired. Marion,s lyrcis are alter nately bad and fair. One of the most raging faults in my opinion is the casting of the two leading roles those of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria Hungary and his mistress, Maria Vetsera, or Marika, as she was known.
 Harry Stockwell and Joan Rob- erts have these roles (they were the leading players in "Oklahoma!" at one time or another) and both are good performers and singers. But they also are as American as hot dogs and their speech betrayS them. You can do more believe in them as great lovers of the Con- tinent than. you can imagine Charles Boyer being effective as an Okla horna cowboy. Miss Roberts suffers much more in this respect than does Stockwell because she has such an American twang both in her speak ing and singing voices that any illusions created by costumes, scen- cry and music are completely shat- tered.
 So maybe this is carping and it's only a musical show anyway. But for me 1t spoiled whatever effectiveness '.Marinka" might have had otherwise.
 The story is retelling of the familiar Mayerling tragedy, where in Rudolf and his mistress sup posedly committed suicide rather than be parted. However, there is a happy ending, with the theory being that no one actually knows what did happen at Mayerling and maybe, instead of dying, the lovers simply fled the country into per- manent exile with the connivance o fold Emperor Franz Joseph.
 In other prominent roles are Domo Vincent. who tries against overwhelming odds to be funny; Luba Malina, who effectively plays a comedienne role; Taylor Homes, Reinhold Schunzel, Ethel Levey, Leonard Elliott and Bonnie Cum ningham. Hassard Shorts staging is not his most inspired and the dances and ballet of Albertina Rasch are hardly memorable.
 A couple Of the tunes that re- main in mind are The Cab Song," a rollicking little number, and Sigh By Night" g good love song.
 Broadway was somewhat sur- prised to see the name of Jules J. Leventhal posted right up at the top as co-producer with Harry Howard. This Leventhal is an old

Claudette consents to momentarily pose as his wife - and that, if you haven't already guessed it, is known as "kfbble." Precious honeymoon days are fleeting by and Claudette becomes furious and desperate. Fin ally, she decides to bring matters to a head, come what may. Her object is to "out-kibble" the male species. Her husband arrives and his actions are more violently elemental than was anticipated.
 The situations in this film are just chock-full of hilarious comedy and the picture has been well-paced by Director Sam Wood. The outstand- ing cast, in addition to the three principals, include Charles Dingle. Grant Mitchell, Wilma Francis and Chester Clute. This film has all the elements necessary for a top-notch comedy, and you'll thoroughly en- joy every, minute of Guest Wife"
 The co-feature is the screamingly funny murder mystery ''The Scar let Clue" It is loaded with intricate scientific death traps, surprises and laughs. Sidney Toler, playing the willy Oriental detective, Charlie Chan, with the suavity he always brings to his famous screen role, plunges into an investigation of a plot and the death traps start click ing away with the speed of well trained knitting needles.

Wilson Film Runs 3 Hours
 Popular Prices
 Prevail at Strand

It isn't often that the movies ruf, counter to legend or popular belief The set notions of film audiences have never been tempered with.
 However, with Daryl F. zanuck,s technicolor production of Wilson which is now playing at the Strand theater, .the die is cast. Zanuck believes the public is ready for the unadorned truth.
 The public conception of Presi- dent Wilson," says he, ''is that he was cold astute idealist who kept people at arms length, and who was practically devoid of the aver age mans devotions.
 Yet, even brief study of him shows him to have been a gay, warm-hearted man in his relations with friends and intimates. He loved football and baseball, and was as ardent a rooter for his favorite team is is your Dodger fanatic. He like charades, read mystery stories until all hours and couldn't get enough of either movies or the the ater. A good many of the the- atrlcal Iolk or the day were his per- Sonal friends.
 "On the other hand, he was a stubborn man and, once he made up his mind he was right, nothing could move him. He could dislike with gusto, and was not above showing it. He never concealed his dislike for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and out of perversity once penned jingle. on Lodge that was devastat- ing.
 And that's just the way wilson" reaches the screen in the film di- rected by Henry King from the screen play by Lamar Trotti.

 considerable speculation among N|1
 gals. To date, I've been unable ff glean specific details from Scott. Sit the mystery has been dissipnted t6 some extent by checking the shoot ing schedule for his current picture Abilene. Scott portrays a hard riding son of the west--and I con- sider it highly significant that. ini- mediately after his accident. the schedule was revised in such fasllion that he was not required to do horseabck scenes for two weeks.
 Here's an amusing sidelight on the publicity campaign which has been waged to win for Marie Me- Donald official recognition as 'eThD Body" Last week Miss Mcdonald received business proposal from a a Boardwalk sculptor in Atlantic City. After reporting that lle owns patented process which en- ables him to sculp perfect nlii1ia- ture heads of passers-by, he urged that he could increase his biisi- ness hundred per cent if he could flatter the ladies by putting their head" on a perfect body. aMiss Mcdonald" he concluded, 'IlI give you fifty per cent interest in my business if you'll supply the bodyin
 In the RKO cafe the other day. Director Eddie Dmytryk, after tip ping me a wink, informed the stu- dio czar Charles Koerner that he had stumbled on a great story. aEsT sentially," he said, "this is the plot.

So tke girls brother and her lover stab one another to death, and the lov- CTS mother takes poison. Before he dies, the lover kills his vicious step-father." Koerner stared at Dymtryk unbelievingly. ''Are YOU crazy?" he demanded. "No one could make a show out of thatlv Several producers have" chuckled Dmytryk. I've just briefted the plot of Hamlet!"

Wife PoIi Feature
 'ScorIet Clue
 On Same Bill

Here's word that will enlarge your vocabulary-it's called "kib- ble'. In Guest Wife," the Clau- dettes Colbert-Don Ameche starring vehicle, which is now playing at the Loew-Poli theater, the ''kibble" serves as the springboard for as merry 8 comedy as we've seen in many day. Redheaded Dick Foran is the other principal who joins the two stars in the zany doings pro- vided by this excellent screen play. When you want somebody to be- lieve something, you tell the story and get someone else to confirm 1t that's a "kibble."
 It seems that out in Ohio, Clau- dette Colbert and hubby Dick Fo- ran, are about to embark on a be- lated honeymoon to New York when in pops the old nemesis and trouble maker, Don Ameche - an ole col- lege chum of Dicks and famous globe -trotting reporter - who is en- route to New York from the Orient. In the last-minute confusion, Dick misses the train, and Clau- dette's worst fears are realized. Be- cause her husband idolizes Don,

HOLLYWOOD, August 17--Down South, when was a kid, they used to tell about country preacher who tried to end killing drouth by of fering a prayer for rain. He prayed and prayed-arld suddenly the rain began to pour down in torrents. The rivers overflowed their banks, the country was inundated-and still the rain came down with undimin- ished fury. The preacher, clinging to the steeple of the church, looked up into the sodden heavens with reproachfu1 eyes. Lord" he said. tits true I prayed for rain, but. honest. Lord. this is gettin' plumb ridiculousl'
 I'm reminded of that story by ru- tnors that MGM bosses are now praying for Van Johnson to get mar ried, in the hope he might then be relieved from the hysterical adula- tion of his more ardent bobby sox fans. They feel that he is, poten- tially, a fine dramatic actor, and they're afraid that the shrieks of the 'teensters are keeping adult fans from giving him the serious atten- tion that he needs to insure the permanence of his career.
 About 90 percent of Johnson's juvenile fan following has been built either by the studios own publicity stories, or by magazine writers who did their work with the studios okay. It seemed like swell idea at the time-but like the preachers prayed-for rain, the results have got out of hand and become plumb ri- diculous
