II can't wear a girdle-makes me

the usual "Darlings" have been
mutually exchanged, we 60 into the
serious matter of Marias figure and
Maria's future in films.
II have not worked for SO long
now" says Maria oh, yes, I forgot
to say she was wearing a green
coachman's hat with nose-length
veil and a black coachman's coat.
"And they forget me in the pub
licity,' Maria went on, giving the
boys keen look. "But mind you,
I do not grumble at not working.
The last few years I work too hard.
My next peecture? 1t starts in May,
darling, and I am in a technicolor
mystery. After that I do two
dramas. Next year I undress again
for musicals. They make a lot of
money, and my figure, she is not
bad, hey?" Ze figure she is not
bad, yes.
Maria's youngest sister, Lucita, is
the only one Of the three Montez
girls now living with Maria who
wants to become a movie star. "She
is beautiful" says Maria, "a blond
with green eyes. She has a lot of
freckles; SO has Greer Carson and
so have many other film stars. But
1 don't think Lucita will be a sue
cess-she has no sex appeal. She
is too thin!" And yet Maria, like
the rest of the movie maidens in
Hollywood, spends most of her spare
time keeping slender, in spite Of
Eat! I love to eat; sometimes
go mad wanting to eat!" concludes
Miss Montez.
Deanna Durbin, who bonded her
hair for Cant Help Singing" is
keeping it blond for her current
Lady on a train" Its such fun
to have fair hair in the evenings"
says Deanne. 1T looks swell with
a black dress. Anyway, you get
tired of seeing the same old face
every day, particularly when you
play sweet girl roles" In the pres
ent film, Dan Duryea has an i'm

with me that Dan has more sex

of the enemy attacked from both
f1anks and the rear,
Sergt. Helwig set up a machine
gun on the edge of the precipice
and, while the Americans withdrew,
he fired until the heated gun burned
his hands. Wrapping his jacket
around the barrel, the sergeant left
the cliff and crossed the stream.
He set up the machine gun again and
fired a thousand rounds into at

killing at least 27.

The rumor did not start here, the

connection with his inquiry.

said last week it had heard re-
ports that Gen. George C. Mar

gressed to a point where it might
be possible for him to retire The
