Fighting Lady Presents
True Story Of Pacific War
By IRMENGARD PoHRT

WE HAVE to admit that we've
seen some pretty good dramatiza-
tions of the war on the screen,
but none OF them measure up TO
the real thing in frightening the
spectators tenseness, sorrow and
enlightenment.
A story OF the war, after all, is
simply a story and even though
II may have a bountiful factual
background, your subconscious
mind is always there reminding
you that "it isn't so"
The new feature at the Fox is
a navy news drama of the Pacific,
THE Fighting Lady" and while
II doesn't center its attention upon
any particular sailor and thereby
permit you to fall in with this
individuals emotions. IL is a story
of what happened to the whole
crew of an aircraft carrier as II
happened.

OF course. the dual role deal

that doesn't stop them from join

We are continually amazed AT
Crosby for the deliberate and
easy going way he accepts any
role and then casually uses II for
his own purpose. He's never been
more likable and seemed more OF
a regular fellow than in this
pseudo-comic assignment
He acts when he has to act and
the rest of the time he kids his

ACTS TWICE AS HARD
He even plays up to Betty
Hutton, who has evidently felt
that trying to be two people al
once calls for just twice as much
acting than II she were appearing
in the first personal singular.
Except In that wonderful night
club scene in which she sings a
duet with herself, she overplays
the serious sister and overdoes
the noisy one. She's talented, but
this double-take is just little toe
much for her.
There Is one final romantic duet

The Fighting Lady" sets out
from the states with her men in
the customary ignorance Of their
destination. While they wait TO
find out where they are going,
each does his particular ship duty.
Some bake bread. some serve as
BARRIERS, and still others press
clothes, repair planes or serve up
ice cream at the soda fountain.

Then comes the knowledge that
they will see action and an expert

mote island. The men have been
inexperienced, but now they gain

Went Away
Tender Tale

SINCE YOU WENT AWAY"
the film which opened at the
Palms-State finally achieves some
thing the movies have tried for
ever since the war started.
II remained for David Selznick,
who is certainly one Hollywood
producer with great taste. to give
us the hearth and home-front
drama that so many others have
tried for and missed.
Despite the impressive cast, the
length and cost OF the production,
Since You Went Away" is really
a simple. homely yarn spun in
terms OF sentimental celluloid and
superbly acted.
It's a long picture, but because
John Cromwell has dealt with
each sequence individually, it is
an episode epic.
Most OF the action centers about
the Hilton family. the mother,
Claudette Colbert. being the piv-
otal figure. She is the mainstay
OF typical American home in

job, without being coy or over

trying moments OF the picture.

There's the handsome naval lieu

TO be more than friend TO the
family. There's Nazimova as a
war worker. There's the cocktail

veterans, the 10-cent store and
the devout church members.
BEAUTIFUL STORY
It's a cross section of American
life as most of us know it today
and it's been so beautifully assem-
bled that you will love every min

There are several very sad
scenes, but the film never really
gets maudlin and the star-studded
cast is so perfectly picked that
your interest is sustained through

say for several of the very lengthy
exhibits Hollywood has been turn

At the same time you'll applaud

be wondering who that sailor is

Everyone has at least one good
point about her person-well-shap-
ed legs, beautiful eyes, lovely arms
or throat. When dressing, empha-
size these good points and minimize
the bad ones.
Believe it or not, very few Hol-
lywood stars were around when
classy chassis were given out, but
with the aid of dress designers,
makeup artists, and hairdressers,
the "form devised" has become the
form divine" but very few know
about that.
When reviewing the new IA
shions, discard Immediately those
which are designed for other types.
These advance styles from which
you can learn so much are avail
able to you in store-window dis
plays, fashion and pattern maya
zines, newspaper fashion columns,
society pages and advertisements.
Ideas From Movies
Even your weekly visit to the
movies can supply you with ex-
cellent basic ideas, for Hollywood
designers are forced to dress the
stars in enduring basic fashions so
the film will last several years
without looking old-fashioned.
Notice accessories and how they
are used to give a glamorous effect.
Cleverly chosen accessories make
the costume unusual and serve to
highlight the best points of your
figure.
Here are some suggestions for
minimizing common figure prob
lens. Thin or heavy arms: in either
case avoid tight sleeves. Any soft
treatment is preferable. Neck
lines: if your neck is thin, soften
the effect with fine finishing details
at the neckline. Soft net or ruffled
edgings, full collars in rich fabrics,
and bright colors are good. If your
neck is too stout, never use any
but the simplest finishing details.
Wear a V-neck whenever possible
and avoid all rich fabrics or long
haired furs against the throat.
Waistline Problems
Large waistline: never break the
lines of the dress at the waistline.
Narrow matching belts are the
only kind that can be successfully
worn. Panel fronts, coat dresses,
and trimmings which extend the
length of the dress are good. Small
waistline: with small waistline
you can wear many high treat
ments and the current fashion of
wide-wide belts are just your meat.
Flat chest: a fiat-chested figure
requires soft front treatments in
all garments. Gathers and tucks
and horizontal lines above the waist
are becoming, and ruffled jabots

or long frilly collars are good
choice. Full bust: vertical and
diagonal lines minimize full bust.
Vestees, dickies, or narrow plas-
irons in contrasting color are eff
fective. Never appear in a tightly
fitted skirt or blouse, or in raglan
or dolman sleeves. Deep-slashed
necklines set off with contrasting
piping are smart solution.
A gift that is beautifully and
originally wrapped makes the reci-
pient know that you put time and
thought into the giving of that
package. December issues of many
magazines carry new and novel
ideas for gift wrapping.
Helpful Suggestions
Santa Claus is getting ever
closer. It is said that experience
is the best teacher" but we always
seem to put off that bit of gift
shopping until the last possible
moment, usually because we Gust
can't imagine what Aunt Sally or
cousin Joe could use in the way of
a Christmas gift this year." For
just this reason, almost all maya
zines, newspapers, and department
stores have made-up copy to help
you in your selection.
The following suggestions may
help a bit. On the feminine side:
perfumes, atomizers, sequin scarfs,
dickies, sweaters, costume jewelry,
belts, gloves, lingerie, umbrellas,
stockings (nylons maybe), sewing
sets and subscriptions to magazines.
On the masculine side: luggage,
gloves, pipes, TASKS, sweaters, jew
elry, belts, hats by gift certificates,
leisure jackets, sets of golf irons,
electric shavers, and all types of
tobacco. For the home: albums of
records, lamps, scatter rugs, books,
curtains, waste baskets, clothes
hampers, slip covers, book ends,
fgurines, and linen.
