Cigaret Shortage
On EsLOst Weekend"

HOLLYWOOD. - The movie
makers are feeling the pinch
of the cigaret shortage, too.
Studio stocks of all brands
have gotten so low that when
the script calls for large num-
bers of players to be shown
smoking it is necessary to ration
the cigarettes carefully. And
even to resort to substitutes for
the real tobacco smoke.
One of the scenes in Para
mounts "The Lost Weekend
with Ray Milland takes place in
smokefilled cocktail bar. (The
time is 1888 when you could
buy 'em two packs at time)
Six months ago this would have
been no problem. The prop man
simply would have scattered
packages of cigarets about the
tables and told everybody to go
to it.
This time he started off by
Juggling a smoke pot with burn
ing charcoal across the set to
create reasonable facsimile of
cigaret haze. Then he doled
out one cigaret apiece to the
fifty couples working in the
scene and told them to light up.
'But don't puff too hard"
warned Director Billy Wilder.
And save the butts. We may
have to do this scene over"

"Dutty's" CROWDED.
For BOudOir Scene

HOLLYWOOD - The
word spread quickly across
the Paramount lot that
Paulette Goddard was go
ing to do her bOudOir num-
ber in ''Duffy's Tavern" on
Stage Nine.
When the star made her
appearance on the set in
diaphanOus black negligee
which made the most of la
GOddard's best points the
place was packed. 1t seemed
as il half of the male pOpu-
lation of the studio had
managed to find pressing
business to attend to on
Stage Nine.
PauIette, shivering slight
ly in a morning draft, took
one look at the sea of ex-
pectant masculine faces.
"My, my" she exclaimed
to Director Hal Walker,
"We've got packed house
today"
yeah" grinned Walker,
"but it's all paper trade
not a cash customer in the
lot"

Barrymore Has
Hair CurIed
For Film Role!

HOLLYWOOD (SpeciaD -
Lionel Barrymore sat in his
portable dressing room on the
set of valley of Decision" sub
mitting to the ministrations of a
W o m n hairdresser, and her
electric curling iron. 1t was a
new experience for both. The
veteran stage and screen star
had never before had his hair
curled, as his role of an irascible
Irishman demanded. The hair
dresser had coiffed stars from
Lillian Gish to Greer Carson,
but never before had been called
on to marcel a mans thatch.
Each time she reached for the
hot iron Barrymore opened his
mouth to yell Ouch" But he
never got to yell. The hair
dresser was much too skillful
with her iron for that.
Mutual Music Lovers
"She hasn't singed my hide
yet, Barrymore commented TO
Greer Carson, who dropped in,
attired in an old-fashioned but
charming costume, to watch the
stars ordeal. "She won't" re-
assured Miss Carson. She's
curled my hair dozens of times,
so I know"
Miss Carson inquired if the
portable phonograph playing in
her dressing room disturbed the
dean of the Barrymores.
Mo-" l love music!" beamed
Barrymore, which forthwith
started conversation about
music.
Il like your English composer
Delius a lot" offered Barry
more. do you know any of the
modern English composers?"
Miss Carson said she did. But,
she added, she also admired
Shostakovich, Prokofieff and
Tschaikowsky.
"But to get back to this hair
curling ordeal" said Barrymore,
"the only actor l remember who
had his hair curled was James
K. Hackett. He wore it curly
or one play, in which he played
a knight. But in his case it was
curled on wig"

VETERANS GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

| WASHINGTON There's young man named Ralph = lives in up state New York-who was with the First Division in the American in vasion of Africa. After several months, he got it in one of the scraps in Tunisia. A bursting shell chucked steel into his left arm and then dropped him on his back across a stone wall.
 Late in 1914, he was discharged with 50 per cent disability. I saw him in May of 194. and he'd applied for disability pay, In July he had received nothing. No change in August. September-no disability pay I don't know whether he has | it yet. He will sometime.
 But why couldn't he get those pay ments sooner? It's because the Veterans Administration hasn't been sufficiently manned or equipped to handle task that each day is en- larGing like a gas house tank.
 Only people who work in bureaus like bureaus. Most everyone else walls about the evils of bureaus. But it seems obvious that new laws must be administered The GI Bill of Rights, offering many benefits to war veterans, and other laws au- thorizing rights for veterans, must be administered.
 So. to administer the yetel ans laws, the Veterans Admifisti ation was created. It's one of those bur eaus. It was once called the Veter- ans Bureau
 Though large and costly, it isn't evil; but it can make mistakes and cause delays. Probably more extra work is caused by those who think they were disabled in service or by those who don't thinks so but tiaim they were, than by the veter ans who have clear cases. It's the former kind of cases that throw the monkey wrenches into the creak- ing machinery of the " A.
 Just a short time back tfe V, A. was around 100000 disability claims behind. There were that many pend- ing cases, so it's easy to realize that it is struggling with tough task. And it's doing ok, too, for have just been told that the number of pending cases is reasonably current
 that the quantity has geen squeez- ed down almost to norual.
 Borderline cases d.nanG much work. care and manpower. And new laws have added an additional burden So we can afford to be 9 little kind when there are delays by patience and understanding anc by not beefing too m'ch.

 MONDAY, F

March 12 is the date of the thirty third birthday anniversary of Girl Scouting and more than million girls and women in green uniforms will remind America that Girl Scouting builds international friend snip, according to Mrs. Sc)tt L Murphy, commissioner of the Ju- Douglas Girl Scout Council.
 Local Girl Scout leaders ~sialize that nations have not yet foulld a way to live together in pesce and that tomorrow's citizens must do more than express pious nope for peace. They must know something of the attitudes and problems of ether countries-the hazards that lie in the path of international triend- ships.
 Girl Scouts are no Johnv- come latelys to international friendships. They are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Wherever the armies of liberation go, Scouting, which went underground with other democratic movements during enemy cccupa- tion, is springing up again.
 Scouts of Gastineau Channel have studied and read about the t.1jrty- two other countries, where girls wear the trefoil pin just as the girls in Juneau and Douglas do. And plans are now well underway for the in- ternational fair which they will con- duct at the Scottish Rite Temple on April IA between the hours oi 7:3O and 9:30 o'clock in the evening. This fair is planned by the girls assisted by their leaders and other adults The public is cordially invited.
