.Newsprint. Costs Rise

Montreal, July 11-(UP) Higher newsprint prices were foreshadowed as an early probability in neWsprint and stock market circles here today.
 Such an increase, it was expected, would be sufficient to offset the loss suffered by raising the Canad- ian dollar to parity with the United States, which was announced by Ff- nance Minister J. L. Ilsley last Fri day night in the House of Com mons
 While newsprint company eXecu- tives would not commit themselves. informed circles said announce ments are likely before long"
 The stock markets here and in Toronto already appeared to have discounted such an increase. News print stocks dropped as much as six points on early sales Monday, the first trading day after Isleys an- nouncement. But rebounded to close with net loss of not more than two points. Yesterday they flrmed further to show small gains over last Fridays close. and today were again firm in early trade.
 The newsprint price of S67 ton in New York worked out to $73.70 in Canadian funds, but this margin now has disappeared.
 Newsprint contracts, whether for short or long terms, have flexible

CHOICE MORSEL
 It Says Here
By BOB HOPE

Mobile, Alabama-We're really in the deep South now, in fact, Mobile is so far South the natives say,. "You-an-all." We took off this morning from Richmond and landed at Birmingham for our matinee. At the Birmingham Air. port I ran into Happy" Chand- Ter, the singing baseball c0ar and his daughter Mimi, who were just leaving after coming down to look over a high school all-star ball game. Happy thinks and talks about nothing but baseball these days. As I walked up to him I could hear him muttering to Mimi about getting rid of this foul ball" After our matinee we took oft about six for the hour and half hop to Mobile and spent about twenty minutes of it flying thru the middle of thunder storm. This caused us to lose a little time as the pilot had to turn around twice and go back for my stomach.
 First it got pitch dark and the girls started to scream. Then the steWardess switched on the lights and made me get back in my own seat. Pretty soon lightning started to flash around us and an accident occurred. Eddie Rio and I both sprained our knee caps trying to sit on each others laps at the same time But we landed okay and were greeted by my old friend Colonel Buck Rawlins of Brookley Field. We did our evening ome- lette there at the field house and it was really hot. The people wouldn't stop applauding. I said, So you like the show" And one guy yelled back, No, this is the only way we can keep a breeze going" It is really humid here in Mobile. It's different from Cali for1ia. You perspire so much here you have to wear your radncoat on the inside.

These players all gave the impress sion that they had thoroughly en- joyed this picture-a delightfully."- merry piece of screen fare!
 The story revolves around a young woman Eovelist's trip from New York to Hollywood in connection with the filming of her best-seller. The many hilarious doings of this seemingly simple train trip keep the film going at fast clip. There is not 8 serious note in the whole picture. It's all spontaneous gaiety, and is designed solely to amuse. That it succeeds in it's purpose was amply demonstrated by yesterdays audience, who said it with peals of laughter. Miss Colbert is unex- celled in this brand of comedy, and Wayne, generally cast as the rugged hero in outdoor dramas, will Sur- prise many by his adroit handling of an out-and-out comedy role.
 Don DeF'ore as his friend adds much to the general fun. Anne Triola is good as girl who likes anything in a uniform, and Dona Drake is alluring enough as the siren. Frank Puglia contributes an expert characterization as her father. Louella Parsons and other noted Hollywood personalities ap- pear as themselves in the Holly wood sequence.
 Packed with laughs from start to finish, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself when you come to see Without Reservations" which gets it's name when Miss Colbert makes part of her trip with tickets or res- ervations and her two friends at tempt to help her in her plight. Miss Colbert, accomplished the rare feat of winning an Academy Award for her comedy performance in Tt Happened One Night" and is be- lieved to have worthy successor in her current romantic comedy Without Reservations.
 Also on same program is a lively and tuneful romantic story of "The Bamboo Blonde" with lovely Fran ces Langford, Russell Wade and radioman Ralph Edwards. Filled with the lateset song hits sung as only Miss Langford can sing them, this is thoroughly entertaining bit of film fare.

STRAND

Charles Coburn, veteran character actor and Tom Drake, one of M.G.M.'s most promising juveniles join hands in bringing to life, A. J Cronin's tender story of the friend ship between shy. sensitive young ster and his lusty great-grandfather in The Green Years" which open ed yesterday at the Strand Theater
 The screen adoption of the best seller novel, has all the warmth zest and humor of the original tale of Robert Shannon, the orphaned youngster who is at first intimidated by his foster family, particularly by it's domineering matriarch, Grand ma Leckie, who sends him to school in suit made from one of her own lowered petticoats; but who, after precipitous years of childhood and adolescence, finds his true career with the help of his adoring great grandfather.
 Told in retrospect, the growth of young Shannon is unfolded with the accent on such aspects of his deter mination, despite insult and mock cry. to follow his religious princi- ples; the early fights by which he gains the respect of his school mates; the humorous and tragic implications of his adolescent love affair with Alison Keith; and his final battle against overwhelming odds to go to the university and pur- sue his long-cherished ambition for medical career. Through all of Shannon's experience is shown the hand of his loving grest-grand- father who is his fervent defender m every crisis and who is instru-

mental even after death in shaping Roberts future happiness.
 Coburn's portrait of the colorful octogenarian is a glowing one, while Tom Drake. as Shannon, is sensitive and appealing, Equally fine is the work of little Dean Stockwell, play ing Shannon in his childhood stages. The story is further brought to life in the portrayals of Beverly Tyler as Alison Keith, Hume Cronin as Papa Leckie, Gladys Cooper as the unfor- gettable Grandma Leckie, Selena Royle as Mama Leckie, Jessica Tan dy as Kate, and Richard Hadyn as the sympathetic schoolmaster, Jason Reid.
 Directed by Victor Saville, The Green Years" emerges from book form as a compelling and heart warming motion picture.
 The second feature is Freddie Steps Out" with June Preisser and the Teen Ayers.

HOLLYWOOD, July 11-Dear Staff: After reading publicity ef- fusion that arrived in this morn ing's mail from Paramount, it oc- CUTS to me that you kiddies are wasting one of your principal tal- ents- and being a man who hates waste, I'm losing no time in calling it to your attention.
 According to the aforementioned publicity dispatch, studio workmen, several weeks before the Emperor Waltz troupe went to Jasper Ma tional Park on location, set out A. 900 daisy plants on the slope Of a Canadian Rockey to enhance the love scenes which were to be hlmed 'twixt Bing Crosby and Joan Fon. taine. The daisies bloomed in good time, but alas and alack, thelr pure litle faces were SO dazzling a white that when they were photo praphed by the Technicolor cam eras, they gave off binding glare. Something had to be done. So the director raised his authoritative voice, the crew went madly to work and-presto!-overnight the 4,00O daisies were treated to a makeup job. The man-who-Wrote-the-story assures me that each and every flower was hand-painted in a neu- tral shade of Holland blue.
 If you kiddies haven't yet sensed the connection between this amaz- ing feat and you, I'll explain. I've been thinking about the delight which you seem to take in colorlng the news you bring in. Why waste such a talent in coloring news items when you could be coloring daisies for Technicolor pictures? don't know what the studios pay for such work, but I'm sure 1t would be remunerative for both of us. You could pick up pin money, and could save valuable time that I'm now forced to spend in de-colorlng your stories.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-11
JIMMIE FIDLER

Dear Boss: We DO know how much studios pay for such work, and wed be afraid to hire out as daisy painters. After all the years that we've existed on your plttances, we'd drop dead from shock if we ever received $398 an hour, with time and a half after six hours.
 To gossip:
 The Jackie Coopers, whose hrst heir is expected shortly say they ln- tend to give Junior playmate within a year. .. Ha! Alan Laoo and Sue Carroll have been living for two months on their Hidden Valley ranch, but they still haven't found a front door for their re- nodded ranch house. -. Joseph Gotten, who's duffle-packing for his London, England, stage engage ment in Voice of the Turtle, won't return to Hollywood for at least eight months. If Mona Free man succeeds in breaking her con- tracrwith Paramount (which has never given her breaks in its own pictures) she will be tendered starring ticket, at more than triple her present pay, by Republic.
 Con3ratulations again, boss. The wCTU of North Branch, Mime sota, has joined others in a resolu- tion commenting your campaign for decency in screen entertainment. People who scoff at stories about the chances screen heroes take in fight scenes, should appraise the battered face that Pat O'Brien is ssaring just now. He had to be watched up in the RKO hospital af- ter his set braWl with ex-Wrestler Sammy Stein for scene in Riff Raf In case you're interested, Swedish movie fans, voting in a popularity contest conducted by Scandinavia leading film masa- zine, named June Allyson and Van Johnson as their favorite Ameri- can stars.
