was the noted educator who first
took an interest in GARFIELD when
the latter was k1own as an incor-
|rigible youngster from Hells Kitch-
len, and whose sponsorship directed
the actor to his highly successful
career on both the stage. and screen.
II DR.. Patri accepts Garfields in
vitation, he will have the services
|of several Of the cinema's more out
standing performers .as lecturers in
the contemplated school for vet
Grams.
Those ups and downs which ap-
parently have beset the film career
|of Patricia Morrison are primarily
the result Of Miss Morrison's versa
|tilfty. While she has been absent
from the screen, to which she re-
turns In Lady on q Train" Miss M.
has been occupied with fashioning
her vocal gifts into concert ability.
To indicate her success, she has 20
concert bookings this fall. It Is like
ly that Washington win be one Of
them, our reports have 1t.
Miss Morrison, however, is not
limited to merely the careers Of
actress and vocalist.
In her other spare moments, she
has painted numerous pictures, 20 OF
which will be exhibited in New York
in the next several months. She
did not realize they were that good
until recent $500 offer for one
canvas indicated that she might be
doing a practical thing in holding
a one-woman show.
1t is settled now that John Emery
will succeed Henry Hull in the hus-
band role when Foolish Notion"
goes on tour this fall. When the
prospect of such an assignment was
rumored fortnight ago, it piqued
a lot Of curiosity. That is because
the star of the Philip Barry fantasy
Is Tallulah Bankhead and Mr..
Emery Is her former husband-not
altogether like the one In the play.
Mr.. Emery is currently married to
Tamara Geva, the dancer-actress,
who confessed to this corner some
months ago that she would like
nothing more than to do q play with
her husband-very likely this sea-
son.
That apparently is Of for the
time being, since Foolish Notion"
is booked for one of those longish
tours for which Bankhead attrac-
tions are famous.

Former State Guard Colonel
Serving as Private Commended
Ex-Chief Of Stuff
In Pennsylvania
Drafted in April

The one-time colonel and chief
/ of staff of the Pennsylvania State
Guard is private in the Army
now, but for his cheerful attitude
and superior ability" in perform
ing the duties of a GI he's been
named soldier of the week of the
medical section at Fort Lewis,
Wash.
The duties for which Pvt. John
is. Holler was commended include
scrubbing floors, walking guard and
doing KIP.
Pvt. Holler, whose mother, Mrs.
Ann Stockton Holler, lives at the
Wardman Park Hotel, applied sew
eral times for reinstatement of the
Oficers' Reserve Corps commission
which he had held before he was
commissioned in the PENNSYLVANIA
National Guard and State Guard,
but these applications were reject
ed because he was more useful to
the War Department in State Guard
activities"
He had been commissioned in the
Off1cers Reserve Corps in 1880, but
because of ruling against holding
dual commissions, he resigned his
ORC commission in favor of one in
the guards.
Circumstances worked against
him, however. In 1889 he had to re-
sign from the National Guard be-
cause of change of residence. In
l94l he accepted captaincy in the
State Guard and by the end of 1943
was made colonel and chief of staff.
The War Department explained,
however, that since the State Guard
had no Federal status, he couldn't
carry his commission into the Army
with him. He was inducted as
private April 4. 1914.

Most blows were stopped cold.
In the Bitche salient 20 miles
southeast of Saarbrucken, the Amer

the attacking. Steadily but slowly
they were whiting down the origi-
nal German bulge, but the ground

MOSCOW. Jan. ia Pravda dis
patch from Warsaw today said Ger
many had moved virtually all the
Polish capitals industry to the in
dustrial centers of Breslau ano
Leipzig in Southeastern Germany.
Railway tracks in the Warsaw
suburbs were crowded with freight
which the Germans were not able
to get out, however, because of the
lightning Russian pincers which
closed around the city from the east,
north and south.
But all equipment of airplane and
tank factories, food processing
equipment and bakery machinery
was stolen, Pravda said.
In the last few days, Pravda
added, dozens of thousands" of the
inhabitants were sent westward in
German trains.
Churches and castles were ran
sacked.
What was left of the population
spent their days in digging trenches
and building tank traps under Ger
man supervision. Even women and
children were put to work.
The Germans kept up their cam
paign of executions until the very
last hours of their occupation OF
the Polish capital, Pravda said.
Victims swayed in the winds on
many gallows," the account said.
Women who had crossed the Wis.,
tula to Russian-held Praga in the
last days were quoted as pleading:
Save us. We've suffered so long"
Veterans of Stalingrad on the
Volga, high-water mark of the Ger

The exiled Polish government in
London, recognized by the United

troops and indicating it would press
for the right to return to Warsaw
despite the belief that the Lublin
