service. In consequence, the set of Its

are two million dollars invested in this pic

Capra down."
Capra for his part, has been driving the not
unwilling ex-colonel without mercy, wringing
the utmost out of him by methods that range
from trickery to endless rehearsals. At times
he has tossed Jimmy into scenes cold, saying:

Just say whatever seems natural, the first thing

rush to the windows to see the blaze, leaving
him waving his long arms at their backs. Stew

feels he is getting somewhere in his comeback.
His main regret is that he has to waste Sundays

parties where he shows tendency to attach
himself to the nearest piano and sing tender

He remains Hollywood's top-ranking bache-
lor. If there are women in his life nowadays
he is not voluble about them, and they do not
seem to enter into his plans for the future.
The truth is that there seems to be nothing
on Jimmy's mind right now but the making of
motion pictures. Nothing in his background

BuiIt-Ins New eotures

Increased use of "built-ins"-at- tractive lounges, bookcases, storage cabinets, radio compartments, dress ing tables, hunks for children, etc is predicted by builders in the Hundreds of thousands of new homes to be built after the war. Chief advantage of "built-ins" is their contribution to better living in less space.
 A "built-in" or "setin" is a piece of furniture or other home conven- fence which can more efficiently be fitted or designed into house at the time of building than bought separately as furniture. Most fa- miliar example is bookcases, but builders say that there is much more than can be done in postwar homes. For example, built-in radio in it's simplest form need be only cabinet as part of the book cases with cutouts for control but tons and speaker.
 Other examples are cabinets alongside the fireplace, or bookcases and cabinets in combination for sep aration between living and dining areas. If placement of furniture is planned in advance, attractive cab met or shelf space can be built in beside the space for the davenport or other major pieces of furniture. Even the davenport itself may be Guilt in, if desired, builders say.
 A built-in lounge or window seat" is an attractive possibility with the new picture windows.
 The bedroom also offers many intriguing possibilities. A built-in dressing table placed for good light ing, mirrors, etc, is desirable. Here again, built-in radio cabinets, book cases, bedside tables, extra ward robes, etc.. can be used. In the chil- dren's room, built-in hunks, one above the other, help save space, and many times are preferred by children to conventional beds.
 Not all "built-ins" or "set-ins" need to be built on the job, Practical Builder says. Manufacturers of kitchen cabinets and other millWork more and more are getting into stock production of 'tbuilt-ins' for postwar homes.
