Pretended jealousy is casting its green light in the lovely eyes of Ann Dvorak. in her first American role in four years in Republics Flame of the Barbary Coast" now at the Strand theater She has been driving an ambulance in Lon- don.
 She is standing in this scene in the colorful office of Joseph Schild- kraut, who runs the Fl Dorado gambling hall They are discussing Rita Dance, a blonde singer, played by Virginia Grey, to whom the suave sportsman has been paying more than ordinary attention.
 In fact, just little while before, Virginia has been with him, singing song called Baby Blue Eyes" as test for a job she hopes to get. It Is. of course, Anns job in his show.
 Why did you call her in?" Ann demands.
 Do you suppose she could fill your place in the. show?" Schild- kraut inquiries unpleasantly.
 She starts for the door Suddenly she whirls and sings a bar or two from Virginia's song, burlesquing 1t.
 I've got great big baby blue eyes,.
 And then, without warning, she picks up heavy metal ash tray and sends 1t whirling at Schild- kraut's head. He ducks neatly be- meath the desk. The tray crashes through the window behind him.
 "Okay, 1t was a bulls eye" says Producer Director Joseph Kane.
 Schildkraut comes up from his shelter.
 Really, Ann,' he says gently, you have an almost professional aim. Where did you learn?"
 Miss Dvorak laughs, Well, I've been watching troops training with grenades," she says, Its trick they're wonderfully accurate.
 50, my dear, are you," Schild- kraut replies dryly.
 The companion feature is Road to Alcatraz" starring Robert Lowery and June Storey.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 23-"Wen- dell Corey, a Broadway stage star, last week was signed by Hal B. Wal lis after exhaustive tests" reports a Paramount publicity item in this mornings mail. Being merely a Hollywood columnist, I'm able to read the news with perfect equa- namity. But if l were Hollywood leading man, I'd shiver in my boots. When Wendell Corey, or any other new prospect for screen Stardom, IS signed for pictures, it probably means that Some' movie veteran Is on his way out.
 Unless many new theaters are built, Hollywood can only make so many pictures year-approXl- mately $50. The total number of important roles available in any given year is surprisingly constant and so, therefore, is the number of players who can reasonably eX- pect to make a living from picture work.
 During the war years, Hollywood has developed 5l new stars and iin- portant featured players. During that same period approximately the same number of pre-war favorites have gone down the skids to total, or near, oblivion. In short, this in- dustry unlike most others, is able to make a place for a new person. ality only by crowding an old one off its actively-employed list.

 That Mrs. Drummond gave me sue ha scare I came home to see just what I really looked like. Tn the mirror saw myself just now as what I am.
 T remembered that photograph you've always kept and what l wrote on t, TO My Beloved, from his faithful wife But I haven't been faithful. What happened to what I was, Walt? Where did I go? I feel as If I had been asleep for years, and just woke up. No wonder you stopped loving me. Poor Walterl Poor mel"

But he found in her terror and her help lessness something that he had look ed for long in vain. In his heart the old love yelled up again. He was pleading with her now:
 T haven't stopped loving you, honey. Mrs. Drummond's pretty; she's smart. What of 1t? So are millions of others. But you're mine, and I'm yours, and we're ours, now and forever, one and inseparable."
 She laughed hysterically. That last was by Noah Webster, wasn't tp Or was 1t in the Constitution? Oh, dear, I used to read and study and talk to you. Do you suppose - Oh, Walter, Walter, help me! Wait for me. Find me some prim- CTS about What Every Old Wife Ought to Know. Do you suppose l could some day go round the links again with you? And - and --oh, my beloved!"
 Suddenly the whole world was new place. His bride was strug- eling to throw of the spell the old witch of time had cast upon her. She was already returning to him to redeem her life and his own.
 Promises that are broken may be redeemed, and hearts that are broken can grow together again.
 Margaret had thought she was scared to death. But she had been scared back to life.
 Before long she was smiling again and that was better than laughing, A little later she was saying:
 We owe the Beckley's a dinner. I'm afraid they got the impression that we didn't love each other. I'd like to have them over some night soon and show them that they don't know what marriage really means"

 Walt hung back, waiting for Margaret's abuse. Instead she stared ct him as if she were aghast with fear.
 ''Go on," she muttered. "Go on, take your swim"
 'I'd rather be with you, honey. I'll get back into my other clothes. You wait for me"
 "Go on and have your swim, I tell youl" She seemed to scream 1t in a whisper. But he insisted:
 Wait for me"
 He hurried back to the locker room, Iindressed, and redressed as fast as he could. When he returned he could not find her anywhere. He saw Mrs. Drummond climb out of the pool and stand on the ledge. In her glistening wet bathing suit she looked from distance to be a masterpiece of hacked sculpture.
 Jennifer came to him running and more than ever like the Mar garet he had known in the days when they had gone swimming together. Jennifer was painting with terror:
 Whats happened to Inother?"
 T cant find her"
 '"I saw you with her and Mrs. Drummond on the steps. Then you left her and she stood there till a taxicah brought ? somebody to the club. Then she got in 1t and 1t drove away. She acted as If she were trying to keep from - from crying"
 Where could she have gone, in Gods name!"
 Home of course. Where else2"
 He hurried to his car and drove as fast as he dared. When he reached the house he braced him. self for the blare of the radio. The place was silent as a tomb. Mar garet was not to be seen. He ran upstairs, his heart bursting with the dread that she had done some- tlAtlB uSSpeEdJe.

 Her eyes were pools of tears. She flung her arms about him as If she were drowning, and hid her face from him by holding him close--as close as she could nowadays. And she poured out her heart in a panic of fear that made her young again as only fear can.
 This afternoon when I was standing there on one side of you, and that woman - that beautiful Mrs. Drummond - was on the other side of you, 1t was like I'd been struck by lightning. She's had three children and she looks like she might be one Of mine. She was so trim and smart and carried herself 90 well and knew what to say and oh, understand why she's taken you away from me"

 America'S Card Authority

With travel restrictions lifted, the forthcoming national cham pionships tournament, which will be held in Atlantic City. N. J., Dec. 1-9, should turn out record break ing crowd.
 Any player can make good showing in n national tournament if he takes the time to avoid care- less plays. Getting into six no- trump on the hand shown today is pure carelessness. In rubber bridge, it is not important whether hand is played at six clubs or six no-trump, but in duplicate, players are always looking for the right spot" So remember, if you plan to play in championship tournament, all big hands should not be played at no-trump.
 Perhaps North's five-diamond bid was confusing to South. It was the Blackwood response to four mo- trump and indicated one ace, not necessarily the ace of diamonds.

DEAR MISS DIX:

I am A years old. in business for
myself, and have been self-sup-
porting during my entire married
life. ! am very unhappy with my
husband. His education Is so linn
tied that 1t Is impossible to carry on
an intelligent conversation with him.
In the "a years Of our married life
I tried in every way to help him i'm
prove himself, but to no avail. I
love friends and q good time, but
these are impossible with him be-
cause he is q kil-joy. In addition,
he is very jealous Of me, without any
reason whatever.
I have been on the point Of leav-
ing him several times but stayed on
because of my son, but now that he
is grown and happily married, I feel
that ! have done my duty towards
him. I am sure my husband loves
me in his own way and he Is kind to
me. However. when I am around
him I feel like running away, but I
do not do 1t, because the fear comes
over me that I would not be able to
live alone.
What would you advise me to do?

husband, he was then, even as he Is

he lacks education now. he also
