GREAT MOMENT OPENING TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

According to advance reports from Hollywood, Preston Sturges has done it again! Following on the heels of the years two biggest com- edy hits, Miracle of Morgan's Creek" and Hail the Conquering Hero" this Miracle" director has brought out another hit of a diff ferent nature.
 "The Great Moment" starting to- night at the 20th Century Theatre, is a great story of very great man. Discoverer of an anaesthctic, pr. Morton fought ridicule and abue to perfect preventative against pain.
 Played by Joel McCrea--a Preston Sturges starring choice on two pre- vious occasions, Dr. Morton makes a hundred uproarious mistakes be- fore he makes the Hall of Fame. Forced to experiment on his own patients, the Boston dentist admin isters Lethon to Eben Frost, play ed by non other than that Sturges' perennial, William Demarest.
 It is on occasions such as this that the Sturges talent for comedy situations is best displayed. Frost, a Boston musician, goes quite berserk as he takes the first deep breath and goes straight out the dentists win dow. Dr. Morton then administers Letheon to himself and nearly murders his own wife, played by Betty Fields.
 In spite of these touches of Stur- ges comedy, the story is historically authentic and of great dramatic sta ture, critics say, and may well prove to be one of the most important pie lures of the year. Such excellent performers as Porter Hall, Harry Carey and Franklin Pangborn are on hand to lend support to Joel and Betty. Comedy is rampant through out this Sturges production, too, as Sturges' stock troupe shines once more.

VETERAN5' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

or four months, then makes couple of thousand dollars in the next two months, and again runs into some months where income is way down, he can collect again. This can hap pen-particularly to farmers.
 A young fellow still in the ser vice says that two soldiers and he want to start business in Australia after the war. Maybe they like the looks or something of the Australian girls Anyway, he asks: Do you thing the loan principles of the CT Bill might be extended to cover business in Australia?"
 They might be, but they don't now. Regulations applicable to business loans say that they must be in con- nection with an enterprise which has its principal place of business within the United States These regulations, of course, may later be broadened to let ex-GI's get guar antees of loans for business abroad, if enough screaming and demand ing develops.
 Two ex-service men up in New York ask questions about V. A. guaranteed loans for homes. One points out that there's limitation on mortgages in New York of 66 Iper cent of the property value and he's trying to figure out how he can get a $4,000 house to live in when he hasn't dime in his pocket only a job which he's starting on. He can arrange this by getting in touch with Federal Housing Admin istration. In that way, maybe he could get hold of 80 per cent of the money on an FILA loan plan. and then he could borrow the other 20 percent from private lender with a Veterans Administration guaranty of the full 20 percent.
 The other N Y. veteran has a scheme-but it won't work. He wants to know if he can borrow money under the CT Bill to build small homes after the war to sell in con- nection with his real estate busi- ness He can't do it. The V. A. guarantees 50 percent of loans for houses, only if the veteran plans to live in the house. It must be his home. But the inquiring veteran, if he wants to build houses, can ap- ply for 50 percent guaranteed loan for building equipment-like cement mixers, building tools, scaffolding, trucks and other construction items of equipment That would be class ed as Q business loan.

WASHINGTON Two veterans one in Lake Placid, N. Y., and the other in Hot Springs, Arkansas, have asked almost the same question. The answer to both is the same, and Il may clear up doubt in the minds of other ex-servicers.
 The first claims that the CT Bill allows only one benefit at a time So he points out that if vet has taken out guaranteed loan anc then finds himself out of work, he couldn't collect any unemployment pay (called readjustment allowances in the bilD. The Hot Springs man asks if a man goes into business fol himself, borrows money under the Gl Bill guaranteed loan benefits, and then finds he doesn't earn $l00 8 month for himself in that business won't be able to collect self-em- ployed unemployment pay?
 We'll, these two questions are ans wered when we consider that vet eran is entitled to only one monetary benefit at a time under the CT Bill But guaranteed loans are not con- sidered as monetary benefits. Sc ex-service borrowers under the G1 Bill loan plan would also qualify fol GI Bill unemployment pay.
 Then another ex-Gi comes along with this: Would a veteran whC had gone into farming and was earning less than $100 a month be able to collect a readjustment al- lowance Gas self-employed per som of the difference between his net earnings and $100? How? His earnings can't be computed on monthly basis"
 Oh, yes they can. The V. A. fig ured the law intended to see that the veteran had enough cash each month to keep him going until he could gather speed. In effect, he was guaranteed $100 a month as in- come-for a total of about 10 and a half months. The ruling on this point is very simple and practical. You just figure on a calendar month basis. How much did you get dur ing the month from your farming operation or any self-employed op- eration? How much cash did you pay out for farming or business ex- penses? If the income didn't ex- ceed the expenses by $l00, then the self-employed veteran can collect the difference.
 If an ex-GI farmer or other self employed veteran collects for three

SUMMER 5T0RM'
 AS CAPITOL BILL
 HAS 55UpERB CAST

Summer Storm" which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre, is stark, intensely dramatic story of a Russian girl whose beauty destroys the men whom it favors. Ruthless, tickle, greedy for wealth and posi- tion, Linda Darnell, as Olga, gives superb performance as an Hitter ate peasant girl who wrecks the lives of three other persons-and inevit- ably, her own.
 Olga marries Urbenin, overseer on the estate of Count Volcky, to get out of the wretched hovel in which
 she lives with her besotted father. On the night of her wedding, she forces Judge Petroff into com
 promising situation so that his fi- ancee will see them and break off their engagement.
 Subsequently she turns from Pet rolf to County Volsky, who is better able to supply her with the finery she covets. During a shooting par ty, Olga is stabbed. She dies with cut revealing the identity of her murderer. Urbenin, her husband, is wrongly convicted and sent away for life. The truth comes out in a sud- den, smashing climax.
 George Sanders. as Petroff, gives one of the most powerful character izations of his career. Anna Lee, as his fiancee, plays her role with beautiful restraint. Edward Everett Horton, as Count Volsky contributes a perfect gem as the absolute, flut- tery aristocrat.

 Remnants of the Japanese Navy have been in hiding for nine months since their decisive defeat off the Philippines October 24-25. They have ignored repeated American and Brit ish challenges to come out and fight.
 While Tank pilots were seeking survivors of the Japanese fleet-al- ready reduced to one of the worlds poorest - the Navy Department in Washington disclosed that 1922 fighting ships have been added to the United States two-ocean fleet in the past five years. This in- creased to around 1,5O0 the number of warships in the U. s. Navy, which counted 383 combatant vessels on July l, 1940 and has reported loss of 140 since.
 From Washington also came of ficial word that 1,500,000 Japanese have been killed or taken prisoner by American and British forces and 600, 900 others have been cut off or y-passed on Pacific islands.
