marks the debut of Cooper as a screen producer with this offering. AS Melody Jones, wandering frontiersman with strong urge to become important. Cooper reaches little border town where it seems as though he has achieved his am- bition, for he finds himself treated with amazin rdefegence on all sides.
 His bubble of esteem is pricked, however, when he learns he has been mistaken for a trigger-expert outlaw. His spirits rise again when he gets the idea of capturing the bandit, move certain to win him pI-rty of admiration. There are only two obstacles in his way: One is a pretty frontier girl who is obviously protecting the outlaw; and the other is the fact that Jones is unable to hit the side of a barn with gun.
 The co-feature of this thrilling program is the great drama of hu- man emotions, Forever Yours, with Gale Storm, John Mack Brown and Johnny Downs.

POLI'S

Now playing at the Loew-Poli theater is the stirring new hit Cap tain Eddie,' which depicts the life of Eddie Richenbacker. Featuring one of the most outstanding casts ever assembled and starring Fred MacMurray in the title role, the cast of the hit also boasts Lynn Bari, Charles Bickford, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Nolan and James Gleason.
 The story, built around the boy, Eddie, sharing the growing pains of the automobile and the airplane industries, spins through forty years of the most exciting developments and historical moments in Ameri- ca's coming of age.
 The film is peppered with the pulse-poundlng thrills of Rick smashing records on the auto-rac- ing tracks, knocking enemy planes out of the sky in World War I and fighting for life on a lonely raft aft.r the crash of his plane in the South Pacific in 1942. On the gentler side, certainly no romance was ever more delightfully."- presented on the screen than the one in this film.
 The second attraction on this pro- gram is "Delightfully Dangerous with Ralph Bellamy and Jane Powell.
 Starting Thursday is Along Came Jones', co-starring Gary Cooper and Loretta Young in rousing roman tic action drama of the border country in the 'Nineties, it also

WE, THE WOMEN
THE WOMEN----- There's q ReconUersion Problem Facing American HouselUiUeS Too

again to Set marketing done by one daily telephone call, and no longer being needed for volunteer war jobs.
 Well, what are, they going to do with the time? Are they going back to killing 1t with long sessions in beauty salons, afte rnoon-long bridge parties. intellectual women's clubs?
 Or will they be too smart-now that they know how capable they are, how much work they can turn out, and how much satisfaction there is in using time instead of killing 1t, to go back to the old bor- ing ways? /
 TIME TO DECIDE
 Now is the right moment for them to look ahead and make up their minds what they want to make of themselves and what they want to do with their lives.
 If they can honestly say they want to go back to playing bridge four or five times week. spend ing a whole afternoon finding just the right pair of gloves, listening to book reviews instead of reading books-then okay, it is what they like and what they want and that is thei. business.
 But 1t would be crime for them to drift aimlessly into that kind of life again, just because they don't see that now is the time for them to decide where they'll go from here.

STRAND

Hollywood started something when it teamed Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra. Jose Iturbi and Kathryn Grayson in one picture. As a result of that combination, M-G-M's cast ing offices were flooded every day by all the young musician hopefuls in Hollywood - all wanting to work in Anchors Aweigh," the new Technicolor musical which is star red at the Strand theater.
 As they explained to casting offi- cials, they wanted to work as "at- mosphere," just to watch the four stars perform. According to dancers they hoped to absorb some of Kelly's technique merely by sticking close to him. Singers wanted to heal either Sinatra or Kathryn Grayson for the same reason, and pianist' were anxious for glimpse of Iturb at the piano.
 With four artists in one film, il was a field day for musicians-and headache for casting directors.
 Selected short subjects and latest Movietone News complete the bill.

Ginger Rogers took time out on the Heartbeat" set to show me a let ter she's just received from Captain George Stevens, an ex-HollywOod director who's now with American occupation forces in Germany. Stevens recently had a chance to visit Berchtesgaden, and while there, made it a point to catalogue Hitler's film library. Only two Am- erican-made pictures were found and both of them starred Ginger. She's wondering whether she should feel flattered or ashamed.
 I hear that Earl J. Rudley, of the United States Consolidation Serv- ice, is here to talk to the studio bosses and the top men in Holly woods warning labor unions in an effort to settle the six-month old strike. It might be a good idea for someone to talk to the bottom" men, too. They're the ones who seem to be paying-in lost wages for the party.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 1O.-The next time you hear someone scott at the power of Lady Luck, tell him this true story:
 Some years ago, Paramount di- rector named Ted Reed needed a young actress for a siren role in the picture, T Wanted Wings" The casting office suggested a virtual unknown named Constance Keane, and Reed arranged to give her screen test.
 Miss Keane, due for the test at ten o'clock, didn't arrive on time. At 10:15, Reed was annoyed; at 1O:3O, he was burning; at 10:45, he put through a furious phone call to the makeup department. Miss Keane was there. She had arrived one hour late, and it would be another fifteen minutes before her hairdress could be completed.
 Reed hurried to the makeup room and found the culprit with half of her blonde tresses neatly coiffed, and the other half trapped over her face. Come on," he ragged, "Ill test you just as you are. You don't deserve the part" Whereupon, brushing aside the hairdresser, he took Miss Keane to the set.
 With her unfinished hair caScad- ing over one eye, Miss Keane sulkily faced the cameras. Still sulking, she read the lines assigned her, and sulkily sh> went home.
 Two days later, Paramount bosses viewed the test. "This girl is ter rificr they chorused. That hairdo is something new in pictures!" She got the role and with it starring contract. Also, the studio renamed her. They called her Veronica Lake
 Idol Chatter: I don't know Ed ward Arnold's age, but I'll bet he's at least 47 around the waist Peas-in-a-pod: Evelyn Reyes and Lana Turner Jane Withers has outgrown her little girl roles, but not her passion for elaborate soda fountain connections Add mop pets destined for big things: 6-year- old Natalie Wood. screen-debuting in Tomorrow Is Forever" The best place to find Gary Cooper, al this time of year, is the firearms counter of the nearest sportsgoods store Nervous itch: To close my eyes and wait for the crash whenever I see Sidney Greenstreet lowering his enormous bulk into s chair !. Hollywood is full of self made stars who boasted themselves to the top of the ladder Random thought: Mickey Rooney's Army service won't be wasted if it's taught him to comb his hair.
 Watching one of MGM's younger actresses tumble a love scene the other day, I was reminded of 6 profound remark made on that same lot 8 few years ago by Marjorie Rambeau. Virginia Bruce and Clarl Gable were playing vivid lovt scene, and Miss Bruce was having trouble. Miss Rambeau finally came to her aid with several suggestion! that resulted in a perfect take

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Scrub Skin With Dry Brush First To Aid Circulation, Smooth Skin
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

You think you know how to get the maximum cleanliness out of a bath, but do you?
 Before you shrug and walk off, answer these:
 Do you draw a clean tub and rinse off the soapy residue before you step out? Marjorie Riordan, ''The Time, the Place and the Girp' beauty, asks this one and some more.
 Do you use a softener like borax or scented powder or meal" to release tension of water in order to tap freerer lather from your soap?
 Do you scrub your skin first with dry brush = to work up friction and improve the circula- tion - then soap the bristles to make short shrift of dirt or oil that clogs skin porese?
 Do you dry down thoroughly after bath-using talcum to ab- sorb more moisture? Failing to- says Marjorie, is one of the req sons why dry skin is a problem.

 TROMBONE AGE

From Prof. Walter B. Cannon! book The Way of an Investigator [ (W. w. Norton Co., N. r., 45) quote:
 "As the decades slip by, how ever, all of US are subject to bod lily changes, some obvious and some hidden"

I reckon the best way is to face these trage- dies when they come to us and take what consolation we can from the knowledge that they come to everybody sooner or later.
 Brown spots appear on the face and hands. The hairs grow long in the ears and nostrils, and the eyebrows become shaggy un- til they may lend a fierce look to the countenance."
 Of course Professor Cannon is speak ing of men. Probably every reader of this vii lthink of certain gentle men who may keep the hairs in the ears and nosrils neatly clipped but not the shaggy eyebrows-evidently they like to look fierce!
 '"Th eskin is less elastic, as is shown by pinching it on the back of the hand and noting briefly persistent ridge instead of prompt snap back to the proper level. The pregnant hinges of the knee,' as well as other hinges in our limbs, are not so well lu- bricated as they used to be. The near point of clear vision recedes until with unaided eyes the elder ly person.

 There are a good many women and some men in the trombone age who try to get by without glasses That sort of vanity is not amenable to reason. Only experience can cure it.
 The sensible man or woman will have the right glasses, bi-focals, as a rule, fitted and leave the trom- bone playing to the dumbbells who kid themselves they are kidding their acquaintances. With the aid of such glasses one simply forgets one is wearing glasses-until one forgets them or the glasses are broken or the frames are accident ally bent.
