Personality of the week-Ella
Raines is the most candid girl in
Hollywood she tells you the
truth when you ask question,
naming those she likes and those
she dislikes and why. Which
makes her articulate as well as
courageous and when I call
on Ella, who is Ill with a cold, at
her hillside home, she has to clear
the air of an anger that has been
with her since I first interviewed
her two years ago.
"The Boyer matter?" I ask when
Ella tells me that she was once
extremely peeved with me. "Yes,,"
she replies emphatically. When
Charles Boyer and Howard Hawks
signed Miss Raines to a movie con-
tract, Mr., Boyer himself coached
Ella for her scenes, including the
parts where she had to make love
The girl naturally did not resent
this; .fn fact, she didn't mind it at
tah, and told me So. And took It
all down straight.
Well-and here's where we all
draw a long breath-Ella was mar
ried, but had kept that fact secret
in the belief that it might snarl
her early publicity in Hollywood.
At that time husband Kenneth
Trout was in the air forces in In
ola, but when he came home he
was ribbed (but good on how his
little wife was learning about movie
love from that great lover, Charles
Boyer.
But Ella, I didn't know you were
married" pleads this reporter in
self-defense. She forgives me, and
tells me that Kenneth, to whom she
has now been married three years,

back to her candid conversation
about Boyer, Ella talks freely about
the males she acts with She does
not like Bracken. She likes Wayne
and Laughton.
Eddie Bracken is "A performer
and always thinking of Eddie
Bracken," says Miss Raines. Hes
q brilliant comedian; but never lets
down, Aud hes selfish; always
acting. Laughtof's different. It's
a real Joy working with Laughton.
He, too, completely lives the scene,
but not for himself only, he includes
the performers with him. Tall In
the Saddle" was the first picture I
ever made that I ever sat back and
actually enjoyed. I like playing
opposite Duke Wayne, because he
has a strong character, strong ewes,
strong delivery and gives you some
thing to work on. And like work.

scale at 108, too little for her 5-feet-

colds. But sickness is responsible for
her movie career.

with ptomaine poisoning" she tells
me, when friend of mine brought

ducer) along with him when he
came to visit me. He signed me up

right to use her in pictures of their
own, to Universal.

She describes it as "the first home

Theater. He appeared in a wide
range Of dramatic parts, including
Shakespearean characterizations.
and later toured Central Europe for
10 years.
In Hollywood his present role IN

slightly deranged actor who runs
around giving of soliloquies and re-
citing Macbeth. During these ca

Crosby, the actor, two fellows it is
wise to humor even against your
own confident Judgment. The
confident Judgment of Paramount's
bosses, as it was those of RKO's

SPECIAL SERVICE
ADDS FUN
TO LIFE

As the men in the regiment can
we'll tell you, their life in the 372nd
Infantry Regiment isn't all sore feet
and grumblings. Nor is it all work
and no play, for they have learned
that it only goes to make Jack a
dull boy. First Lieut.. Richard Cor
don, Athletic and Recreation Off
Ger, sees to that.
One does not have to take their
word for it. Just drop around on
the Post any day, after duty hours,
and you will see the men enjoying
themselves at the Service Club,
or the Fry USO, on the Post in the
PXS and bowling alleys, or you
may, if you wish, stroll over to the
various day rooms and you will see
the men reading, shooting pool and
also shooting the breeze.
Go down to the Field House and
you will see the men learning to
fight, and playing basketball or bad
minton. They even tell me that on
Sundays the men go over to the
golf course and bang a few golf
balls around. OF course, none of
these games would be- complete
without few pats on the back from
members of the opposite sex, and
the WACs on the Post are capable
of handling this job.
But don't mistake this for an adj
vertiSement for summer resort;
all of this is here because the Fort
is isolated, and the Infantry really
puts in a hard day. And these are
some of the many ways to take
their minds off of the happenings
of the day.
There are representative games
and teams and activities for the pro-
fessional and the adept. but the
main aim of the program is "recrea-
tional participation for ALL"

His entire company had the famous
"Toomer Strut" and initiated him

physical mannerisnS.
Captain Frank Toomer served his
country and the Army for more
than 80 years. A veteran Of World
War I, he is known as former
oath Infantry man, Tenth Caval-
ryman, and trainer of thousands
of troops in National Guard, Regu-
lar Army and R.O.T.C.

played at the Field House on March
9, 1945. The companies we're Com
pany B and the fighting Com
pany D.
This was the first game since the
men came off of the problem in
the mountains where it seemed they
only stored up energy for this game,
and what a game! The first score of
the game was made by Company D
and the first quarter showed that
the game was going to be a hard
pushed one, and no cinch for either
team. The first time out of the
game was called by Company D.
At the close of the game the score
was 81 to 43 in favor of Company
B. The high scorer for Company B
was Davidson, and the high scorer
for Company D was Tonnell. Each
was credited with four baskets or
eight points.

Company A
Fetes Ex-C.O.

The soldiers of "a" Company of
the regiment gave a farewell party
last Friday in honor of Captain
William G. Bridgeford, their COM
manding officer, who is leaving the
regiment. Captain Bridgeford is 60
ing to Palm Springs General Hos
pital, in California. He is succeeded
by Captain Howard w. Poole.
Members of "a" Company ex-
pressed the great affection and re-
spect they had for their former
commander. During an intermis-
sion the company presented to the
family of Captain Bridgeford a
travelling bag and fountain pen.
"One gift with which to return to
visit, and the other so that we may
hear from you" they explained.
The 227th Army Ground Forces
band played music for dancing.
Guests of Company ga" were mem
bers of the WAC from Douglas Army
Air Base and co-edS from the Uni
versity of Arizona at Tucson.
Captain Bridgeford is a veteran
of World War I. He took part in
many notable engagements. He
served with distinction as a liaison
officer with the French Army f57th
Cred HANDY Division. His knowl-
edge of the French language and
his liaison experience were used
again in World War II when he
helped to train members of the
Fighting French Army at Fort Ben
ming, Georgia, in 1941.
The retiring captain was known
for his tremendous interest in the
welfare of his soldiers. A disciplin-
arian, he personally interested each
man in his military duties. He also
saw that each man took part in
some creative off-duty activity. do
you sing? Do you play baseball?"
The soldiers would harmlesSly re-
peat this phrase joyfully after him
behind his back, but records show
that nearly all his men cultivated
himself beneficially. They served the
captain; they loved the man.

New Gearshift
Planned for Cars
BY SILER FREEMAN

The latest thing in automatic
gearShifting is claimed by the
Detroit Gear division of Borg
Warner Corp. The company
plans 10 spend Sl2.000,000 for
additional machinery and facili-
ties TO make the new automatic
transmission.
Howard Blood. head of the
Detroit Gear division, is much
enthused over the device. He
claims il will show so much inn
provement in gas consumption
over the regulation gearshift
that il will be come an economic
necessity on the new automo-
bileS.
The transmission is the result
of 10 years experimentation,
not only by Detroit Gear but
other divisions, Blood stated. 1t
is so simple that no preliminary
instruction is needed to operate
a car with this type of trans
mission, he said. He revealed
that very substantial" con-
tracts have already been made
with some automobile manu-
facturerS but production was
still some ways off.
