Achieving World Empire
High Drama
in Signing
Ceremony

USS Missouri, Tokyo Bay. Sept.
3-AP-There were tingling mo-
ments OF high drama In the 49,
minute ceremony during which
Japan bound herself to lay down
her arms Internationally and bow
to the dictates OF the Allies.
The setting was perfection the
captains promenade OF this battle
ship, nicknamed Mighty Mo-" AL
lied ships ringed the Missouri in
concentric circles of power. Out
lined against the murky sky were
dark green hills OF the nation be-
ing occupied for the first time in
its turbulent history.
Hour Of Lifetime
The first moment Of drama came
when General Macarthur walked
up the gangplank sd moved
across the deck with stride 1.-THE
for a man of his years. You could
feel the intensity OF this man slim
ulate the crowd like a current OF
electricity. 1t was MacArthur's hour
of a lifetime and he had prepared
for 1t by almost half a century OF
military service.
The next moment OF emotional
impact was the arrival of the jap
anese delegation-four in civilian
dress, seven wearing Navy or Ar
my uniforms. They stood waiting
MacArthur's pleasure like stone
gargoyles. To the western eye they
looked like cartoon characters
from Gilbert and Sullivan's THE
Mikado."
Features stolId
Their stolid features showed
neither guilt nor retreat, pain nor
resentment-only an abiding,
watchful animal-like patience. You
felt that only time would reveal
what that patieVre stood FOR. ss,-,,. :
How did those little men ever
think they could get away with it?"
one white-uniformed sailor wills
pered.
Next highlight was when Mac.
Arthur began signing the surren.
der document. He turned to Gener-
al Wainwright with a warm smile
and handed him the first o. the six
pens he used. Then he looked de-
liberately, steadily and coldly at
the japanese before going on with
the signing. That gesture was for
Bataan, for Corregidor,-and the
Japanese caught its significance
fully.
Silence Falls
Silence fell over the spectators
as the two japanese signatories
put their names to the document,
They signed with Oriental slow
ness. Doffing his black silk topper,
Foreign Minister Mamoru Shige-
mitsu sat with his wooden leg
stiffly extended before him. The
diplomat missed inkwell with the
first thrust OF his pen. Then he
laboriously scrawled his name on
both documents copy for the
Allies, one for Japan.

his signature voting the rainbow

but still expressioniess, left the

MY pictures" she said, "are the
kind they make quickly. They don't
want them good, they just want
them Tuesday,"
The first one, Miss Corio recalls,
was to have been made in 8 days on
a budget so modest that it would
not produce more than 10 feet, or
so, of a Glass A feature attraction.
Boy, you should see them oper-
ate" she says. They make three
reels in one day and the next day
those three are already being shown
in Chicago.
THAT 8-day number was a sensa-
ton. I don't mean as to merit, but
because we ran over a day on our
shooting schedule. Nothing like
that had ever been allowed to hap
pen before. It was not my fault,
however. They told me to be there
at in the morning and I did ex-
actly what I was told. In fact, I
was so early that the gateman had
not arrived. I stood there knocking
for long time, then decided just
to wait for him"
Miss Corio is not the kind of artist
who is frightened at what she might
look like in movie made that fast.
II don't see them myself" she
dismisses the subject.
From the standpoint of boxoff1ce,
she is entitled to think of herself as
a WOW, no less. That first picture is
still kicking around and has crossed

Close-ups: RKO has hit on new
and popular scheme for getting PIN

Evening star., 1945-06-04
BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.

dOlLY Y WOOD.
Personal but not private: Popular
ity Of Raymond Chambers detective
character, Philip Marlowe, points to
an unprecedented casting situation
among four different studios. 1t will
be but few months until four stars
have played the Marlowe character
on the screen.
RKO's Murder My Sweet" which
had Dick Powell as Chambers pri-
vate dick. Recently Goth Century
Fox bought The High Window" for
Fred MacMurray. Warner Bros. are
doing The Big Sleep" with Hum
phrey Bogart as the tough, brash
gumshoe. And the other day MGM
acquired Lady in the Lake" for one
of its fast-talking luminaries, as yet
undetermined.
Never in the history of movies
have the studios gone overheard SO
completely for one fictional char
acter. incidentally, Bogart, Mac
Murray and the sleuth named by
MGM will have tough pattern to
follow in duplicating Dick Powell's
original Marlowe performance Dick
started himself off on a new career
by means of it.
Dana Andrews, the Texas star,
one of IL children, thinks his
mother, Mrs Alice Speed Andrews,
is just about the most intense movie
fan in the world. And after hearing
Dana talk about his MON" on the
set of Fallen Angel" we're quite in
clined to agree.
Mrs Andrews arrived in Holly
wood the other day on her first visit,
but every effort on the part of Dana
and studio officials to bring her out
on the lot to watch her son at work
has failed. Mrs. Andrews is prac-
ticing self-control She feels movie
plots so deeply and earnestly that
she might break up scene.
