"sARATOGA TRUNKo


 It took Warner Bros. eighteen months to make Saratoga Trunk" but 1t was worth it. IngTid Bergman gives one of her Aca- de:ny Award performances and she's really thrilled at the pros- pect of winning another award. one more Oscar and she's entitled to a lock of Van John- sons hair. Ingrid is such a won- derful actI,ss, can watch her all day but she always catch- es me and pulls down the shade You lucky people win see 1ngrid Bergman in a black wig and thaL ain't hayI I wear a wig in Iny new picture and it is hay.
 And you'll see a new Gary Cooper. Ingrid has inspired him to the greatest performance of his career in this picture he talksI They have quite a bit of trouble photographing Cooper. When he's on the set they take only boom shots. He plays the part of tough Texas cowboy and wears two guns on his hips. I would have played the part my self, but I couldn't reach the guns. No kidding, they were seriously considering me for the pvt. In fact, they tested me for the lead but the black wig wouldn't fit. Then they offered me another important role in Saratoga Trunk" but re- fused to be a redcap. I'm sorry I was so nasty. though I found out Cooper is a heavy tip per.
 The reason it took IS months to make the picture is that on the first day of shooting they lost the key to the trunk. It wouldn't have been so bad, but the director was in 1t.
 give the picture four bells, so go see it, folks, and remember to sit in the balcony it's the only place in the theater where you can see all of Gary Cooper.

 Not only should they know what to expect in the way of accommoda- tons for the voyage-but they should know what conditions to ex- pect after they arrive in America.
 They should know what difficul- ties to expect If they must make long train trips carrying small ba- pies. They should know about the housing situation, etc.
 It is flattering to Americans to have the people in other countries look upon America as Utopia and a land of plenty and hospitable haven.
 But the war brides who are con- templating joining their husbands here should be given a realistic pig ture. All to many of them are fight ing to get to America-only to be uisillusioned.

 I've often commented on the the ironic fact that cowboy stars, no matter how big, are completely over- looked by the majority of Holly woodites-and here's Exhibit "A" to bolster my contention. One day this week one of Hollywood's most widely read columnists aiithored the follow ing: William Elliott, because Of his work in old Sacramento,' has been given a five year contract by Republic. Bill, who started at the Pasadena Community Playhouse as a player of sophisticated roles will be built into a western star" Wil- liam Elliott is none other than Wild Bill" Elliott who, for mare than five years has been one of the screens four or five most popular western heroesl
 It's only fitting that Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald, the co-stars of Going My Way" Shrould be cast as doctors in their next film together. It's hard to think of any two actors who have done more to cure the entertainment ills of boyies.

POLL

Now showing at the Loew-Poli the- ater is the greatest rootin-tootin' wild western musical ever to come off Hollywood's stages. the Techni- color treat. "T'he Harvey Girls" An overflowing cinema cornucopia of plenty-music, romance. laughter, drama and thrills-Judy Garland and John Hodiak-Ray Bolger, An- gela Lansbury, Preston Foster, Vir- ginia OBrien. Chill Wills are the star. of the outstanding cast.
 Not an entertainment device or opportunity has been missed in this story of a small western frontier town which finds itself face to face with law, order and civilization in the persons of pretty Harvey House waitresseS. No documentary account of the early days on the Sante Fe Railroad. it nevertheless takes its story inspiration from some of the early-day experiences of the famous chain of Harvey Eating Houses that pioneered the west at the side of the Santa Fe.
 Celebrating their seventieth year AtA @o1ot tAhC HoW 1hltiUuS 1dTFCy Houses are colorful chapter in that part of American history devoted to the winning of the west. Their unique system of feeding trainloads of travellers. together with the at- tractiveness of their waitresses, pro- vtdes ideal story material.
 Back again in musicals after an outstanding dramatic performance in The Clock" Judy Garland makes the perfect heroine for this story of the i090's. What she did voc cally for the trolley car, she repeats in the interest of the steam train in hit number, '"rhe Atchison, Topeka and the santa Fe" written by that top team of tunesmiths. Harry War ren and Johnny Mercer. The entire score was composed by them and contains a host of other tunes of Hit Parade caliber.
 The Johnny Mercer-Harry Warren genius with lyrics and music keep this all on e plane that continually tickles your ears. Song numbers are all so solid that the sum total even dwarfs the well known established hit "Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe."

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Treat Cold Sore With Mild Salve
By ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

Better treat the cold sore on your lip with care. Otherwise there may be added to the usual pinprick to your vanity a skin infection which can be a threat to health.
 Don't try to speed the blister's departure by using stuff that forces 1t to break. To allay itching or burning, however unguents are per- missible to use if prescribed by your doctor or druggist. Using the same Inguent as a lubricating salve. when the blister forms a scab, sometimes is a help in coaxing 1t to go.
 While the blister is bothering you, use a colorless antiseptic lipstick as a base for your redcoat. And be careful of the quality of lip rouge that you use. During the eruptive stage of the blister, it's the better part of wisdom to pass up the red- coat entirely.

BEST SHOVE OFF
 Tn NEvV pAeTtiRRa

DEAR D. O.: The best recipe for making new friends is to cherish old ones, since he who would have friends must show himself friendly, and must work at keeping Ifl social circulation. The flext.best formula, particularly applicable to one in your situation s to shove off to new pastures, taking your talent for friendship along, to dawn ea other circles as 6 personality in your own right.
 Tn present circumstances. as the recently widowed Mrs. C., you are at an awkward disadvartage in the matter of initiating social activities which might restore you to Che ranks of the married. And yet your sentimental flxation on Allce's brother at this time indicates that @ consolation marriage made in early season is an indispensable safeguard to good emotional self- government for you.
 You are at Q disadvantage fin the circumstances, with all your close friends married, owing to certain quirks of human nature. In all probability your women friends, more or less well married and hence untroubled by love starvation, think 1t more suitable to sympath- ize with your bereavement than to try to relieve 1t by adroitly fetch- ing new love interest or inatri- monial prospect into your life.
 SIGNS INDICATE
 MAN IS TR1FLER
 Whereas their husbands or other men you have always known, who were manifectly platonic before may instinctively take more dis- corning note of your emotional hunger and guess it's cause, yet their reaction is apt to be more cynically speculative than helpful They are more likely to trade on the chance of your being vulner- able to furtive dalliance, with them- selves in the role of wolf, than to exert themselves chivalrously to set you back on the high road to married happiness.
 It occurs to me that Alice's brother is leaning toward this trifler category in walking you home, stealing a kiss, never ask ing for a date nor giving any above-board sign of genuinely com forting interest. judge his strong est reflex is fieeting predatory cur iosity, possibly a hangover from wartime escapades in other lands. since he has never been a ladies man at home.
 Live is often born out of pro- pinquity and mutual loneliness but not when the lonely woman forfeits the mans respect in the first rounds of acquaintance = as would happen here, I think, if you continued to connive with this chap in this vein of conduct, while wear ing poker face to his sister about 1t. advise you to blandly restore the platonic motif, on your part at least, and to cordially continue your friendship with Alice. If the seeds of mutual love are latent here that's the only way to bring them to blossom. If he doesn't respond to such finesse, you may be sure your secret agitation is a false alarm. M. H.

Lost and Lonely Since Husbands Death
 Q Year Ago, Widow Feels Drawn to Close Friends Brother, Whose Manner nAnioB Her

DEAR MARY HAWoRTH: I am q young widow, 2l years Of age. My husband was Killed ln action over Q year ago, I was deeply in love with him and I miss him terribly, but now I've awakened to the fact that am alone and stlll young, with most of my life before me.
 All my friends are married and somehow, when wo get together, I feel lost and more alone than ever. 1 realize that I must make new friends, but this seems hard for me to do. And I would appreciate your advice and suggestions on that score.
 I have a dear friend whose brother was recently discharged from the service and as he lives with Alice (ny friend) I see him quite often. To my astonishlnent I find myself quite attracted to him and I don't know whether this Is genuine feeling or due to sheer loneliness.
 ONCE HE KISSED
 HER GOOD NIGHT
 He has walked me home a few times and once kissed me good night quite unexpectedly. I have known him for years--since before the war--and had always consid- cred him just a friend; and I know his feeling toward me was always platonic. He never goes out with women and he has never asked me for a date-and I really wish he would.
 I would like to know whether my interest in him is just nonsense or

NO PROSPECT FOR ONE WORLD
 OF FRESH AIR

Man past 60 keeps his apartment constantly from 70 to @, objects to admitting any outdoors fresh afr day Of night, refuses to be guided by thermometers or thermoStat, says they are incorrect, declares he can feel the draft if c window is opened even an inch anywhere in the house when he b fin bed at night. He has Q hundred watt lamp to read by, but permits only forty watt lamps for others ifl the house. He claims he is easy to get along with, and that any one living in his house can do as they please but he gets upset and positively ugly If anybody attempts to open a window anywhere in the house. He never goes out. Can you help us7 (H. R. J)
 Tim afraid when hey get harden cd to such temperatures they are beyond the pale. For that matter 6 good many old geezers are imper- vious to rhyme or reason about fresh air before they have passed forty.
 Not that this particular hellion will give 1t a moments considera- ton, but just on the of chance that you can give 1t try, perhaps in some rear bedrooms as far as pos- sible from the head devils cham Der, let me suggest a sash-size un- bleached muslin window screen. This admits some fresh air and desirable moisture, but excludes wind, drafts, snow, rain.
 It Is the extreme aridity or dry- ness of the air rather than the ex- treme heat that accounts fer most of the diScomforts and complaints suffered by everybody, including the grampa himself. in such an in- door climate. Among the discom- forts and complaints so caused are the extreme Sensitiveness to drafts which this shiek of the indoor Sa- hara fnanifests; constant irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract; roughness, dry ness, chapping and cracking Of the skin; brittlenesS of nails; peevish- ness and irritability of everybody who is much confined in the house.
 Even old grumpy will find Q household temperature of 68 or 70 degrees P. with a reasonable amount of water vapor constantly added to the air more comfortable than q temperature of 75 or higher with no added water vapor.
 Even if you can contrive to evap- crate only a gallon or two of water in the house or apartment in a day, that s better than nothing, but evaporation of not less than one gallon per room per day is a nearer approach to the ideal hum- idity of a perfect autumn day.
 The more growing plants in or- dinary porous pots in the house or room the better -- the pots and plant sleaves give oil considerable moisture to the air, and the plants do not use up oxygen but on the contrary use up some of the carbon dloxide in the air, hence tend to purify the air, even in Q bedroom

are distributed around the world-to the tune

Indeed, Betty Crocker has become the best

Not so we'll known, however, are certain facts
