old Howard Theoter Now In Tooth Year
Historical Old
 Structure Housed Theoter's History

 Boston, Aug. 17.-(UP)-The Old Howard theater which opened as an Evangelical Tabernacle but wound up as an internationally known burlesque house entered its tooth year today still boasting from it's gaudy marquee always some- thing doing g 8. m. to II p. m."
 Beneath three great ecclesiastical windows which form its facade have passed some of the theater's great Edwin Forrest, Charlotte Cushman, Fannie Brice, Sophie Tucker, Bert Lahr and Denman Thompson of "Old Homestead" fame.
 From Legit to Burlesque
 Today these gothic windows, somewhat smoke begrimed. are par- tially hidden by a garrish banner billing one Evelyn Taylor in some thing uncontrolled, daring, differ ent."
 Besides Miss Taylor, the low priced palace of chorines and com- edy just of Boston's famed Scollay Square offers devotees of the strip tease Sue Gave "an exotic charmer," Betty Via, "a star-startler" and "30 Gorgeous Girls 30''.
 Long target of the self-ap- pointed guardians of Boston morals, the Watch and Ward society, the Old Howard continues to play to full houses-well larded with sol- diers and sailors who have carried the theater's name across the seven seas.
 Laura Keene, leading lady at Ford's theater in Washington the night President Lincoln was assas- sinated, often trod the boards at the Gay Athenaeum" as did John Wilkes Booth, the assassin himself.
 Church, Stage And Strip -Teasers
 At least two present day screen actresses, Gipsy Rose Lee and Ann Corio, once were featured strip teasers at the Howard and their ap- pearance brought a big turnout especially from Harvard college.
 The first Italian grand opera com parry to come here appeared at the old Howard and Bostonians mar veied at the dexterity of its con- ductor, Sig Arditi, who somehow played first violin and used his bow as baton at the same time.
 Designed as a church but never used for religious services, the old Howard was built on the site of the Millerite Temple where in the 1840's group of fanatics under the Rev. William Miller gathered on the roof in nightgowns for a signal 10 as- cend into heaven.
 The watch and ward society took time off from book banning in 1883 and succeeded in closing the sheater because of ''lewd exhibitions" and "snaky, voluptuous dancing" but the burlesque queens soon were prancing on its stage again.
 Since the tragic Cocoanut Grove night-club fire of 1942, the old How ard has toned down. The great pail of cigarette smoke that once hovered over the audience has disappeared and ushers even have requested the clientele to remove their hats.

Tire Rationing System Nolv ln Effect
 Based on oceupotionoI Driving Require ments, Rother Than Type of Gas Rotion
 Book Held by Motorist

Washington, Aug. IT = (UP) - The Office of Price Administration said today that consumers shouldn't throw away their gasoline ration books and the green stamp in their food ration books.
 While no longer needed for buy ing gasoline, those A, B and 0 books still will be of help to motorists wanting tires.
 Retain Old Books
 A new system of tire rationing, based on- occupational driving re- quirements rather than type of gas- oline ration book held blythe motor ist, has gone into effect. However, retention of the old gasoline books will expedite the granting of tire purchase certificates since ration boards can use them in determin- ing occupational needs.
 As Tor the Green Stamps in Ra- tion Book Four, you had better hang on because these are the future meat rationing stamps. The green stamps originally were intended to replace the blue stamps which be- came obsolete when canned goods rationing ended.
 No more ration books will be printed OPA advised that airplane stamps for buying shoes also be used until it is determined how long shoe rationing will continue.
 Other war-end developments on the home front:
 Two-pants suits and vests with double-breasted suits appeared de- flnitely slated for an early return. Since winter clothing already is headed for retail stores, the first time suits probably will be for spring.
 Nyl0ns Soon
 Nylon hosiery production will be getting underway soon, now that military requirements for nylon are down to virtually nothing. The trade has agreed, however, not to start selling the long-awaited hose until stocks are sufficient to handle the tremendous pent-up demand.
 OPA says don't look for removal of any more rationing controls for several weeks. Cheese and canned fish are expected to be next of the ration list.
