lead role of Junior Miss" her first starring vehicle.
 In contrast to her previous roles mostly drab, forlorn, thought fully grave children-the brilliantly talented youngster is seen as Judy, the merry, precocious and highly imaginative girl who is just begin ming to learn that boys can be a pain in the heart instead of the neck.
 Allyn Joslyn as Judy's long suf- fering father heads the brilliant supporting cast including Michael Dunne, Faye Marlowe, Mona Free man, Sylvia Field and Barbara Whiting.
 The film tells the scream-packed story of a madcap junior miss, whose vivid imagination conjures up a non-existing triangle involving her unsuspecting mother and father (who love each other dearly) and the innocent daughter of her fathers boss. In an effort to save her family from going on the rocks" Peggy Ann whips up course of action that would make Holly wood plot seem dull by comparison. How she sends her family into a frenzy of confusion, almost wrecks her sisters social standing, gets her father fired from his law firm job, constructs romantic legend about her handsome uncle (whom she de- cides is a paroled convict) and in- gendouSly maneuvers him into a romance with her mothers "com- petitor," and how, on the eve of her own first formal party, she ac- cidentally sets the whole topsy- turvy mess aright, makes for what is being acclaimed as the most de. lightfully entertaining hit of the year.
 The second big hit is the hilari- ous comedy, Don Juan Quilli- gan," starrnig William Bendix, Joan Blondell and Phil Silvers. By a rare and joyous inspiration Bendix is cast in a role that sets him high among the screens great and mem orable screen lovers.

 Story of Wor {
 Prison Comps ''

Capt. Ian Mc1ver or Dunedin, New Zealand, related the meritorious work accomplished by the War Prisoners Aid at a meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Elton yester- day. Interned in five different Nazi military prison camps. the New zea- land officer described wretched con- ditions in the camps before the War Prisoners Aid was organized, and the later years when the musical instruments, sports equipment, books and food were brought into the camps, through the efforts of that organization.
 Going overseas to Egypt with the Maori battalion in l940 as YMCA field secretary, Capt. McIver was stationed in Greece until 1t was talk in by the Nazis. Latter assigned to Crete, he was captured there when 1t was occupied by the Germans.
 Following his internment at a British officers camp, he received permission from the Nazis to visit enlisted mems camps in Germany and Austria to work for their well fare and morale, in cooperation with the International YMCA from neu- tral countries.
 "There seemed to be nothing too large or too small for War Prisoners Aid to accomplish" he said. When internees in large camp near Nu- ernberg voiced a desire for a place of worship a complete prefabricated church building was sent, knocked down, from sweden.
 Capt. McIver was introduced by Edward F. Graham, executive secre- tary of the Combined War Fund and Community Chest of Waterbury, Inc. Arthur L. Purinton. education secretary of the YMCA and presi- dent of the Kiwanis club presided at the luncheon meeting.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-09-20

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 20 - DEAR STAFF: If the Motion Picture Re- search Society has its way, you kid- dies may as well start looking for new jobs; there isn't going to be any movie industry to write about.
 The MFRS, in case you've over- looked it's many communiques, is an organization designed to combat the employment of divorced persons on the screen. When a gal who's had too many mates, or an actor who's had too many wives, is given an irn- portant movie role, the Society pro- poses to file protests with exhibitors, newspapers, women's clubs, church groups, etc., demanding that the picture be boycotted. Incidentally, the first target selected is Carole LandiS, who, with three eX-hus- bands to her credit, recently an- nounced her intent to wed a fourth.
 You can readily see how tragic the results, will be for the film in- dustry if the Society makes its threats good. There's hardly a player in Hollywood who wouldn't be on the spot. Producers would have to resort to the most amazing expedients in casting. You'd find Butch" Jenkins, for instance, play ing everything from Romeos to ninety-year-old patriarchs. Marg- aret O'Brien might have to carry the whole MGM program!
 Seriously, while this anti-divorce crusade seems too far-fetched to be a dangerous threat, it IS a straw in the wind that Hollywood should observe carefully. Casual marriages and casual divorces have become SO commonplace in Filmville that mo- ton picture society has acquired a shameful resemblance to free love cult.
 JIMMIE FIDDLER.
 DEAR BOSS: You choose the darndest words, sometimes, in your attempts to get over your ideas. That line about free love-" for eX- ample. What laugh that will give Hollywood men who are paying ali- mony to three, four and more ex- wives!
 Today's checx-up shows that more than half of the big-name players who were in uniform on VIE Day are now back in civvies, ready for picture-making Don't be sur- prised If Dorothy McGuire's demand for more glamorous roles is the prelude to a campaign for release from her contract with David O. Selznick It's not officially an- nounced yet, but MGMers tell us that Van Johnson will be teamed with Judy Garland in single dancie; he's strictly Grade-A as a hoofer
 Agnes Moorehead and Jack Lee have decided to "ex" their marriage By the way boss, you made Gladys George mad when you rumored that she and her ex-hus- band, Leonard Qn-the-army) Penn, might reconcile. She admits receiv- ing three proposals of re-marriage from him, but says she didn't ans wer his letters Note to stars

STRAND

Two months before he was shot down by federal agents in Chicago alley, John Dillinger tried in vain to save himself by having his phy- sical appearance completely changed in an operation which almost cost him his life.
 Lawrence Tierney, newest tough guy screen find, depicts the break up of modern history's most feared criminal in the title role of "Dilling- er," Monogram'S story of the thrill swept thirties which Is in It's sec- ond week at the Strand theater. Anne JeffreyS portrays the woman in red," who was responsible for his downfall, and Edward Lowe Is also featured.
 Dillinger, hunted and alone, had made his way to Chicago. His days of murder and plunder finished, he made a frantic effort to lose himself in the large city, but his face was to well known.
 In one of the first face-lifting operations to change the identity of a criminal, Dillinger had the dim- pie on his chin removed and his nose and cheeks altered. During the sur- gery, he swallowed his tongue. His heart stopped, but he was revived to live for two more months. He dyed his hair black, affected glasses and grew a mustache. His fingers were burned with acid, to remove the famous finger prints.
 But the extreme measures which the notorious gang leader took to change his appearance were useless Federal agents who trapped DillingeT said that when they saw the killer walk into a Chicago theater, short- ly before his death in hail of bull lets, they noticed that the well known features had been changed. But, they added, he could be recog- nized.
 After Dillinger had been shot down in the alley adjoining the theater, his fingesprir& were taken. It was found that the painful at- tempt to burn them off had also been in vain.
 The cast in this story of the most shocking criminal figure of modern times also includes Eduardo Clan. nelli, Marc Lawrence. Elisha Cook, Jr., and Ralph Lewis. Maurice and Frankling King produced 'Dillinger' and Philip Yordan wrote the origin al screen play, which was directed by Max Nosseck.
 The companion feature is e. I. Honeymoon" starring Gale Storm and Peter Cookson.
