The Opening Shot Heard Round the World. Samuel Godwyn, speaking to the press of New York in a firm fashion hunty stated recently that times have changed but Hollywood hasn't His reference to the formula method of film making contrasted with the fresh, imag
 native technique which is making British pictures so out
 standing and individual In Manhattan for the opening of The Best Years of Our Lives, Mr. Godwyn pointed out that it is time that American pictures had something Co something provocative and challenging to say else ether countries would damage it's prestige seriously He said: Ever since arrived in New York last week people have been asking me, What's the matter with Hollywood? Why have the pictures been poor this yeary Times have changed but Hollywood hasn't That's the Hollywood has run dry of ideas. It's living borrowed tme-and borrowed ideas from the past and that's why with few exceptions every picture reminds you of hundred other pictures That's why in
 film after hlm have the same old boymeets-gir the old chase, the tough guy stories, the same psychological meodramas The trouble back, think Co something I've said for years and I'll again. Holly wood making too many pictures There not enough good writers with real story to tell to write 400 or 300 pictures year. have always felt that on the writer hinges the true quality of any picture matter who the producer the director the stars Stars made by good stories killed by bad With few exceptions what most of Hollywood doesn't recognize is that the American people going through postwar emotional reaction They faced with many problems personal and worldwide and what they want is not pure escapsm in their pictures but reflection of their emo- tonal turmoil That's why believe now, than ever, that picture first of all must be entertaining. But be-
 yond that must have something to say. Hollywood Is dry of things say because has gotten too far from the average person. That of being too rch which has led to laziness. Hollywood will no longer scratch for ideas for honest emotions for fresh stories It's too easy to get along using the same old theadbare formulas That's why I'm glad that British films are gaining in popularity. think they may pro- vide the threat that Hollywood needs stir itself out of its fatcat compacency. Hollywood has long needed the stimulus of outside competition. Why British pie lures meeting with nowT people ask The is that they tremendously improved. The Brit sh have made great progress Bu of all they have stopped trying to initiate They have begun to methods of their They have applied a viewpoint that 10 broader and international than yet they getting closer to the people by reectng the intimate universality of everyday living. Hollywood is facing challenge Today is by the British tomorrow may be the French the Italians the Russians To maintain its place.

1AeAiOS VI WlVeS. actually, in this year of the great housing short age there are probably many more wives thankful to have a place to lve-due to the generosity and hospitality of a mother in law. than there are wives anxious to stand on their legal right not to live with a mother-in-law.
 The old in-law jokes aren't so funny as they once were. You many young couples have during the past few years. found that in- laws are pretty nice people to have in the family. Especially so when the in-laws have a house and the young folks find them selves without one.
 Well, We can move in with one of our families" has been a com forting thought to many young couples.
 AN ACE IN THE HOLE

. way of inspiring self-confldence from the ground up.
 If shoes don't fit properly, a woman's behavior pattern reflects her lack of physical ease. Her re. action provides fun for the car- toonist or humorist when she loses shoe that she surreptitiously slips off. If she grins and bears the discomfort of a plnching shoe, she can't give much thought to her own or other peoples con- versation. Nor can she move about with ease or grace.
 Most women make the mistake. So the sales people say, of not buy- ing shoes big enough. But shoes which satisfy all the usual re. quirements of fit will bring on grimaces if the heel is too high. A fraction more heel than a wo. man is used to wearing can hoist her foot into tortured line.
