MY REPUTATION
(Warner Brothers film star-
ring George Brent and Bar-
bara Stanwyck)
Already premiered in Ice- CIVies
land, MY REPUTATION im-
presses GIs with the thought-
ful presentation of the pro-
blem of a widow with childr-
en — and her desire for fu-
ture happiness. Unusually
well-produced and portray-
ed. Recommended.
Much time was spent in art galleries and similar
cultural establishments. Despite their stay overseas,
the men had kept well-informed on esthetic matters
and many discussions were heard on the relative me-
rits of Rubens and Rembrandt—not to mention Sea-
gram and Calvert.
COLUMBIA UN. PROF. SAYS ILLITERACY
DEPRIVING SERVICES OF 2,000,000 MEN
Assailing what he calls
“educational slums,” Dr.
John K. Norton of Columbia
University declares that illit-
eracy has deprived the U.S.
of at least 2,000,000 men —
“enough to equal the Russi-
an Army now driving to-
ward Berlin.”
Norton supported a hill
providing Federal allot-
i nts of $3,000,000 annually
to aid schools, charging that
millions of children will he
denied “a decent education-
al opportunity” as long as
educational financing is
done mainly by states.
FALCON IN HOLLYWOOD
(Columbia film starring
Tom Conway and Veda
. Ann Borg)
Another in the well-known
Falcon series — this time it’s
mystery on a movie set. The
usual run of Falcon films.
FLAME OF THE
BARBARY COAST
(Republic film starring John
Wayne and Ann Dvorak)
This is the story of life in
San Francisco at the time
of the quake. Rip-roaring,
wild entertainment for those
who like this sort of film.
CHARLIE CHAN
AND THE CHINESE CAT
(Monogram film featuring
Sidney Toler)
Mystery, guns, the usual
lot of Chan action. You’ve
got to like mysteries and
Chan to like this one.
WINGED VICTORY
(20th-Cent. Fox film with
Jeanne Crain and Edmond
O’Brien)
Rased on the Broadwav
production, WINGED VICT- want to miss.
ORY tells the familiar story you’ll want to
of the work that goes into
the making of a pilot from
to his first mission.
Male members of the cast
Incidentally,
wring Anne
Baxter’s neck for the havoc
she brings to Bellamy’s
household. Ruth Warrick,
Aline McMahon and Marie
are all in the AAFV Some- McDonald all turn in top-
what of a flag waver —
diverting anvwav.
Germany’s Defeat Will
Mean No Vacation For
American Troops In ETO
In order to employ addi-
tional large forces against
the Japs at the earliest poss-
ible moment following the
end of the war in Europe,
American troops in the ETO
will he moved to the Pacific
so fast that they won’t even
be required to take the bulk
of their equipment with
them — according to an As-
sociated Press report.
Catholic
Masks GI Stand On
“Prophylactic Kits"
Dissemination of birth
control information to ser-
vicemen on the “vastest scale
in history,” may leave the
U.S. without sufficient man-
power to defend herself,
Bishop Joseph P. Hurley of
San Augustine, Fla., recent-
ly told the National Cathol-
ic Welfare Conference.
The Bishop charged that
lectures, motion pictures and
“the often forced distribu-
tion of so-called prophylact-
ic packets” had not succeed-
ed in their announced pur-
pose. “However,” he stated,
“they have all too often suc-
ceeded in teaching undesir-
able lessons of promiscuity
gnd birth control.”
HER LUCKY NIGHT
(Universal film featuring the
Andrews Sisters)
Any movie with the Andr-
ews Sisters doesn’t need
much of a plot — and this
one lives up to expectations
on that score. Anyway,
Patty, Maxine and Laverne
can sing.
DESTINY
(Universal film starring
Gloria Jean and Allan Curt-
is)
Gloria Jean reforms an ex-
prisoncfr with her singing
and the fresh’ country air.
Gloria Jean sings well, any-
wav.
NOTHING BUT TROUBLE
i
(MGM film with Laurel and.
Hardy)
If you stay back in ibe hul* 1
and read a good boo1: or list-1
en‘ to the radio or write to
that “special one” you’ll be
just as well off. Well worth
the “price of admission!”
GUEST IN THE HOUSE
(United Artists film starring
Anne Baxter and Ralph Bell-
amy)
Here’s one that you don’t
but j notch performances in ting,
psychological tale.
AND NOW TOMORROW
(Paramount film co-starr-
ing Loretta Young and Alan
Ladd)
This film brings Ladd back
to the screen for the first
time since his discharge
from the service -— and with
one difference: he doesn’t
play a bad man! As a doct-
or, Ladd tries to cure Miss
Young of deafness — and,
well, you know Hollywood!
Loretta Young turns in one
of the best portrayals of her
career as the deaf girl.
Worthwhile.
NIGHT CLUB GIRL
(Universal film with Vivian
Austin and Edward Norris)
Country bumpkins make
good in Hollywood come
hell, leading men and brok-
en hearts'. Need we say
more? Make up your own
mind on this one.
GIRL RUSH
(RKO film with Frances
Langford and Wally Brown)
Definitely a lesser effort
on the studio’s part. Never-
theless, La Belle Langford
with the deep, throaty voice
does all she can to make the
most of the film.
