CHICAGO is the scene Of this
latest segregation study. Usually
the scene is Harlem, New York.
But, as William Monroe Trotter
would say, the s4sults are the
same. There are about half a
million colored Americans jam
packed in Chicago. There are
about 1000 more being added each
month as they migrate from the
South, where they are losing
their jobs. Hemmed-in by "iim
crow laws" this situation is be-
coming critical.
- - -
THE HOUSING in Chicago, as
in Harlem, is almost unbelievable.
Fenced-in by unwritten laws,
some colored citizens are living as
bad, if not worse than the de-
feated peoples of Germany, Italy
and Japan. Yet, some of these
very Chicagoans helped the
Allies win the war. THE JOUR-
NAL reports that some Tan
Yanks are sleeping SEVEN TO 4
ROOM in relays and are paying
as much as $3.50 per week FOR
ONE ROOM.
THE FEPC BILL for the state
Of Illinois was defeated last sum-
ner in spite Of the fact that only
about 2,524 colored persons out
of the half a million in Chicago
have been able to secure white
collar or technical jobs. And a
bill proposed to eliminate housing
lin crow was also defeated last
wear BY the Chicago City Coun-
ell. You have to know these adult
facts to understand the plight Of
the youngsters.

In the face OF the indisput-
able evidences of progress along
all lines, pointing to the crea-
ton Of a perfect Universe, it is
almost incredible to hear so
many persons trying to deny and
resist the law of evolution. CIV
ilization Of today is no he civil
ization Of one hundred years
ago, and the customs in vogue
decades, centuries ago, are gone,
or fast going into oblivion Civ
ing place to conditions much
more tolerable than then. We
might as we'll face it. God is
moving, and no man, no group
Of men can stop or even delay
His program. There are classics
In music and literature; crea-
tons Of minds far ahead Of
their day, and they are still
masterpieces. The rank and file
have not caught up with the
old masters; but the law Of
evolution is immutabIe. This
may well be pondered.

AS far as the story is concerned,
I'm still hanging there"
Jane is perfectly amiable about
such incongruities, and she has
quite a repertoire of them. She
tells them wholly for fun, and
she's one of the best storytellers
in Hollywood. At present she is
playing a girl on parole from
theft charge, in "The Wall Out

script peculiarities in this one,

Jane Greer was talking about
inconsistencies in movie scripts.

"they left me hanging by the
hands from a tree. They shot
that scene on location, and fol-
lowed it with a sequence on a
train which explained how I got
out of the dilemma.
But meanwhile I caught the
hu. In the train scenes I couldn't t
read my lines for laughing; must

deliberately, of course, but the

The Danziger technicians have
been operating from their East
ern sound studios on Manhattan
a unit which. for several years,
has been producing location
shooting, process shots and sound
clubbing for scenes to be used in
Hollywood productions.
Then, observing the way that
Hollywood producers were COM

Varied Backgrounds.
Other than operating their
technical studios, the Danzigers
have a varied background for
this production Of films in natural
settings. Harry was q musical
technician on Broadway shows at
the age of Is, and later he as
sisted Fabian Sevitsky with the
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
Ed was a lawyer for five years
and then. just before World
War II. they operated the Luna
Park Amusement Center at Coney
Island.
In "Jigsaw," which stars Fran
chot Tone, they filmed the entire
picture outside of studios. To do
this they used so different loca-
tions around New York City, some
in the International Telephone &
Telegraph Building, some In Wall
Street and some in borrowed
apartments. For the final Sc
quence they borrowed the Brooklyn
Museum. Their technical train
ing assisted them materially in
shooting this picture.

When Gene Tierney told me
she was going to settle down in

looked skeptical, because Gene
said quickly, Honest. I'm through
