STRAND

Dana Andrews did his duty. but he lost out against overwhelming l odds in the person of an eight-year { old feminine fan. Andrews, together with co-stars Alice Faye and Linda Darnell, was greeted by a crowd of 12,0OO fans when the company arrived for To- cation scenes at Oranbe California where Fallen Angel" the new 20th Century-Fox dramatic hit now at the Strand theater, was being l filmed.
 When an eight-year old girl edged her way up to Andrews and asked for two autographs, he was assured by the child that her parents haG given her permission to be where she was.
 What about your teacher, do you think she's like your playing hookey?" Dana inquired
 Who do you think I'm getting the other autograph for?" reported the child who pointed at young woman as she added: There's teacher waiting over there. She didn't have the nerve to ask for one herself!"
 From then on Andrews and Miss es Faye and Darnell signed auto- graphs without a qualm.
 The companion feature is Radio Stars on Parade starring Frances Langford.

POLL

Now playng at the Loew-Poli thea tre is the dance-sensationa techni- color musical "Yolanda and the Thief. starring that new team, Fred Astaire and red-haired Lucille Bremen. The story tells humor- filled tale of a slick crook and an heiress whom he tries to fleece by passing as her guardian angel" It all starts when Astaire and his ac- complice, Frank Morgan, flee to the mythical state of Patria in order to escape the clutches of the law. On the train they learn of the fab ulously rich Yolanda, and when, by a fluke, Astaire wins her confidence, the way is opened for the biggest deal the crooks have ever attempt ed.
 The co-feature is the exciting murder-m thriller, "The Spid- er," with Richard Conte and Faye Marlowe in featured roles.

to care much whether any show manship went into the job or not. A store dragged in any man it could find who would put on red suit-often a moth eaten looking red suit, at that-smear some red paint on his cheeks and languidly hand out comic books to kids bursting to tell Santa all and really get acquainted with him.
 Such inferior Santas have over looked all the bets. They have for gotten to ask names and addresses, making the kids wonder if they really could find them after all. They have been stingy about giV- ing a pat on the head or warm hearted smile. They have hurried the kids instead of listening to them.
 The kids would be better off not to see Santa at all than to en- counter such bedraggled, weary, make-shift men in red suits as have all too often been put into job for which they have no talent. OBLIGATION TO PUBLIC
 Anybody hiring Santa Claus owes his young public something better than that. So the school for Santas Is start in the right direc- tion.

 I see by the paper that the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization has reported to Congress that there's no truth in the report that Hollywood Is over TUT with aliens Oyerrun, in that connection seems 10 me to be a rather ambiguous word. It's true that aliens. numerically. arc not numerous in Hollywood-but it'S also true that most Of the aliens in Filmv!lle are producers, direc- tors or writers: in short, they are holders Of policy-making Jobs. As far as I'm concerned. however, they are not the ones who constitute the gravest threat 10 the American screen. worry about them less than I do about some of the na- tive sons in jobs ever more infiu- ential who have often made pie lures which, in effect, propagano- i7ed against the best interests of the USA. It's quite possible for a native son to be alien to the American way of life.
 George Jessel, according to the trade papers, will produce a musi- cal comedy entitled T Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" That's one title hope won't be changed. It conforms so beautifully to the attitude Jessel displayed for months after his third wife, Lois Andrews, divorced him.

 Most Hollywood colunulsts were news reporters long before they started writing about movie pef- sonalitlOs A. reportefs they learned to pay allegiance to coce o3 ethics and the number one rule in that code was. Don't bctray a con- fdenoe-oon print off-the record statements labeled mot for publica- tion You saw that code to oper- ation during the war NewNnen, repeatedly possessed of facts that would have mace sensational reac- ing. observed the rules so carefully that the one or txo exceptions stirred up international furores Diplomats. generals and the soy- ereigns of nations trusted their in- tegrity ard gave truthful answers when they were questioned.
 But screen stars. in general, re- fuse to be truthful The Hollywood reporter who makes conscientious effort to check reports and rulnors runs headlong into an inpenetrable maze Of falSehood And when. in desperation. he fails to check his stories, the stars involved have the gall to claim foul play.
 Speaking o. spotlighted marriages, I was amused by a picture Of Peggy Hopkins Joyce. her new spouse, and her uncle, who now has given her away in wedlock five times! Somehow I felt sorry for the uncle. He must feel like an Indian giver, with Peggy coming back on hls hands so consistently after all the pains he's taken to hand her over to various and sundry mates. Far be it from me to alter a time-hon- ored custom, but since the ladies of show business insist on making marriage a hobby instead of an institution, why wouldn't 1t be a good idea to have their most re- gently discarded husbands give them to their successors?
 An\rt the same subject, Sister Kenny gave as one of her req sons for approving Rosalind Rus sell as her screen protagonist, the fact that Miss Russell has never been divorced. How unfortunate for Hollywood producers, already hound ed by casting difficulties, If Sister Kenny's attitude establishes prece- dent! There wouldn't be many DIG tnres made in Hollywood if only those stars who've never been d. vorced were acceptable for lead ing roles.

CINK TuE CHILDREN ALL THE
 EXPOSURE THEY WANT

Aga.n {. appeal 10 pareas2. grand. parents, gnoies. aun,s teachers and neighbour; Please. oh, please quli this eternal nagging of Inc chii- dncn about exposure. which you imagine s danserous to health When .t comes to a question oi health or hygiene I think I know best. certainly better than mere laymen do and about as much as a real doctor does wouldn't you say?
 Tell me. are you still just as sot today as you were years ago in your belief that dampncss. drafts. changes of weather and the like cause Illness or make any one more susceptible Co rheumatiz. pneumonia. influenza. meningitis. measles etc? IL doesn't matter, Of course. only that I do feel sorry for the kids who are more or less at the mercy Of quaint notions. I'm not talking through my hat. I'm passing along tO the public what successful practitioners and child specialists confess to me now and again, under promise of secrecy.
 Now I address this to you young CT parents, teachers and doctors you have not yet become so im- bued in the superstition, I hope. that you can't look around and have a little think for yourself. Surely you must have noticed time and again that youngsters who are manifestly the least protected" against exposure to cold and wet sudden changes snd all that sort of thing have fewer of the illness the old fogies ascrihe to exposure" than do youngsters who are most carefully coddled. Well?
 I do not believe and so I do not say that exposure to cold, wet. drafts, insufficient clothing, sudden changes, does any particular good in the way of hardening" I say that if the individual, child or adult, enjoys the exposure, prefers to go without overcoat, heavy un- derwear, stockings, hat, etc, such exposure" can do no possible harm, either immediately or some day"
 For what my opinion may be worth to you, kids-and I do hope all the kids who can read will get this-I assure you that, so far as health is concerned it is absolutely okeh to leave off whatever you would rather not wear at any time.
 Nor do I advise such exposure" merely because it does not harm. At the next metlng of the Reckless League we'll endeavor to show why a reasonable amount of such lex posture" is essential for the health of every man, woman and child.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Child Graves Salt

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Child Graves Salt
 Little girl craves salt, asks for some in her hand several times a day. Is this harmful? How can l overcome it? Doctors just say "Oh she does, does she?'
 (Mrs. R. G. Answer Too mush salt may make the body tissues retain too much water, which makes the body water-logged, fabby and the in- dividual somewhat lazy or less &C., tive or less inclined to work or play. Better restrict the child's intake of salt to level teaspoonful daily including the salt she eats as salt and that used as condiment in cooking or at table.

the admirer O,Brien chalks up, two "firsts" for himself in this new laugh-riot. It marks the first time that he has ever played the part of a native Irishman, and the first time he has ever donned a false moustache. Hilarous results ensue, especially when Menjou tries to Ego Irish" too. When Pat gets into seemingly insurmountable marital difficulties, Menjou takes it upon himself to straighten things out and succeeds in involving Pat in uproar- iously funny complications.

Choice MorseI It Says Here
By Bob Hope

That's all! It's amazing how ex- cited women get over nylonsi
 But it's nice they can get stock ings again. During the war one girl I know used so much of that pancake makeup that every time she gets near a waffe-iron, her knees try to crawl inside. And, af- ter using that paint for so long, when she finally put on pair of real stockings, she wasted four hours that night trying to wash 'em off.
 Of course, the news about n.y. Ions won't affect the bobby-sox brigade. All they need is good supply of brothers. And read this morning that some chemist had predicted that the nylons of the future will sell for twenty-five cents and will be washed, shaken out, and put on without drying. But who'll go to all that trouble? At two-bits a pair, they'll just go the way of all cleansing tissue.

NYLoNs-oN MARKET AGAIN

NYLONS-ON MARKET AGAIN
 Last Sunday as I sat quietly beside my radio tuning out the laughs on the Fred Allen program, a piercing scream suddenly echoed through my North Hollywood home. Instantly leaped across the room then I got up. I'd forgotten there was table in the center of 1t. Running footsteps sounded on the landing and I req lized this might be trouble. I stood still, desperately trying to re- member what the Green Hornet would do in a situation like this.
 Just then my wife raced across the room and outside. I won't say she was travelling fast. but, before the door slammed, the suction pulled two chairs, an end-taole, and a what-not after her. Fortu- nately, in passing, she had dropped a letter which explained every thing. It was from department store and said, We are now talk ing orders for nylon stockings. :"

Cod liver oil has come out of the nursery and appears in a new role on milady's dressing table. Fol it's first step into the sophisticated world, the oil retains it's vitamins A and D. but sheds the "fishy' odor and becomes an important in- gredient in sweet-smelling foun- dation liquid now on the market.
