2 One of tne minor irritations of the war that has struck the West Coast Is the gardening situation. Evacuation of Japanese brought about a shortage of gardeners. John Garfield, currently featured In "Air Force," finally gave up trying to locate a yard-tender and. on his day blithely set about mowing his lawn. A matronly lady wore down $10 worth of rubber screeching her car to a stop.

Garfield quickly discovered she wasn't a fan. "Young man," she said. "I have a house with rather large grounds. lawns i rone ana oacK, numerous rose bushes, several trees, some hedges, flowers and a Victory garden. I shall want you to take care of It once each week.

I'll pay you $10 a month, and you can start tomorrow." "Sorry, lady," grinned Garfield. "I afraid I can't handle it." The woman glared. "On second thought, and after looking at this yard, I don think you can handle this one, either!" Inside Stuff!

"WSL riv ii I By KASPAR MOXAHAN Unlike George Bernard Shaw who complains because such a splendid thing as youth is wasted on the young, George Abbott is a staunch booster for those of 'teen age or a wee bit older. Only the youn? can make the world safe for youth, he believes.

This consistent sponsor of hit shows tfew producers can equal his record of smash successes down the years) has reason to admire young people. For in return for his faith in them they have helped to maintain i Mr. Monahan reputation as a producer and added to his store of earthly riches. And quite a pile of mazuma that is. too! A year ago.

when Mr. Abbott had successfully launched -Best Foot Forward." with a cast, of lively and ambitious youngsters, he observed "Tough as even the youngsters' lives are becoming because of world conditions, they are still primarily happy and untroubled. They are the only happy people in the world today. So only they can impart fresh, joyous happiness to others. This is a season when people want to escape an unpleasant world when they go to the theater.

They want to joy. It is natural that they should turn to youth to find it." Tonight and all this week Nixon patrons may have the opportunity to test the soundness of Mr. Abbott's philosophy frankly "escapist." whether his "Best Foot Forward" will have the exhilarating effect on middle-aged and graybeards claimed for -it by advance couriers. It's concerned with adolescent problems, specifically the disturbing results of a film glamor queen's arrival at a prep school. Joy Hodges is the glamor girl.

In New York she was Rosemary Lane. Suicide No It's getting to a habit this business of a star permitting his screen self to be bumped off in order to get rid of an unwanted characterization. Wearying of being Lew Ayres bride in picture after picture of the Kildare series. Larraine Day walked in front of a truck and Doc Kildare lost his bride, and Miss Day mixed sighs of relief with her "dying breath." George Sanders got tired of being "The Falcon." So he'll be seen for the last time as the super -sleuth in "The Falcon's Brother," opening Wednesday at the Barry. Mr.

Sanders blithely permits a Nazi to shoot him and his brother, played by Tom Conway, obligingly takes over and the series will continue. That happens Wednesday. The next day George Sanders is resurrectedthis time as Somerset Maugham's artist chap in "Moon and Sixpence" at the Penn. Stage Outlook Good And now to catch up on the Nixon's bookings of which there are enough in sight to keep the footlights glowing from now through January. Between now and mid-December, "Lady in the Dark," three return engagements in a row "Claudia," "Watch on the Rhine" and "Arsenic and Old Lace," and possibly a week of Gilbert Sullivan repertory.

"Let's Face It," musical, is a good bet lor the holidays, opening Christmas night, the house going dark for the first four days of the week of Dec. 21. A probability will be the Guild production, "Spring Again." with Grace George and C. Aubrey Smith for Jan. 4 and on Jan.

11 will begin a definite three-weeks fyep three weeks) engagement of "Life With Father" with the original New York cast headed by Howard Lindsay and Dorothy Stick-ney. Novel Beginning For Sturges Film HOLLYWOOD All of Hollywood's pet cliches to show the passage ofl time or at least the most famous! of them are going to take a terrific beating at the beginning of "The Palm Beach Story," which will star Claudette Colbert, Joel. McCrea and Rudy Vallee. Preston Sturges. who as a writer for years had to ponder over many a new way to denote tempus fugiting, is the one to poke the finger at trite methods of speeding time along.

He wrote the story and he will direct. The picture opens on Claudette and Joel being married. Then a kitten dissolves into a grown cat, a tiny rose plant grows into a bush in bloom, a calendar flits from June 1, 1937, to Feb. 2, 1942, a shiny 1937 car faded into a Jallopy and comes the title "In other words, five years have The thing which we are not permitted to mention by name in war time really hurt night club business Saturday. There were a number of vacant seats around the various ringsides and it wasn't because there was a shortage of good entertainment.

The shows are generally of a high order. That Bobby Whalen, star of the current Vogue Terrace show is about the greatest performer on bicycles and unicycle that has come to town. He provides plenty of thrills with his unusual stunts. And for sophisticated dance numbers the "shadow" routine of the Stanley Twins is tops. There's some clever comedy adagio work by DeMay, Moore Martin; some good funny chatter and songs by Jack Leary and Marie Kuhlman even gets of fun out of toe-dancing.

Helen Honan's impersonations complete the show. The Yacht Club has a very good and very different type of show this week. It's Spangled Ice Reyue" which stars Dot Franey and a group of clever skaters. Miss Franey is a former Olympic speed skating champion who to- figure-skating and scored as great a success as she did on the racing blades. Bill Green's Casino was packed for the week-end festivities.

The merry-makers at the Route 51 club like the way Mary Kreig and Babe Rhodes handle the songs and Baron Elliott is swamped with request numbers for the two youngsters. One of the highlights of Bill's twelfth, anniversary was a large flag made of flowers which the employes presented him in honor Bobby Specht, A3v-s jk a i and Marcia Brooks and Tom this scene from "The Falcon's to the Barry.

Two acts which rank high in the list of entertainment in Pittsburgh will return to the Villa Madrid tonight. They are Dorothy Ard and Earle Josephine Leach. Miss Ard is a fine singer who never bothered to count her calories and finds that a little excess weight is no handicap in her work. The Leach duo, the "Dancing Redheads" are one of the finest dance combinations ever to play here. The show also will feature Flo Miller, acrobatic dancer and Barton Brady, slick comedy act.

Jean March, a new "Personality Girl" joins the line-up at Mer-cur's Music Bar tonight. Jean comes here from Columbus to replace Lillian Morton. Miss Morton scored a tremendous hit at Al Mercur's spot and will be back as soon as she completes engagements already arranged. Mercur is holding over Randolf Garcia. Bette Smiley, Tanya Tamara, Dale Harkness and Joe Lescak.

Some cute novelty songs are featured by the Three Girls-About-Town at Caramela's Oasis. The trio has been held over Newt Mercur has taken over the job as keeper of the screw-balls at the Nut House in Millvale since Lew left for Miami and his first Saturday on the job found a packed house at the wacky emporium. Say, maybe Lew won't be able to get his job back. Food will get top billing at Hotel Mayfair from now on. The lower Penn Ave.

He showed such remarkable speed and talent during the first three years that he was offered a spon sorship by the Chicago Figure Skating Club of Chicago, where he maiored in architecture. After win ning the National Novice Championship and the National Junior title, he walked away with the National Senior Figure Skating Championship in March, 1942. Bobby is the 16th person in the United States to pass the Gold Medalist test, which is the eighth test for school figures, and is com parable in skating to a diploma for a college diploma.

Candy Keeps Coming Star Gains Weight HOLLYWOOD Sometimes being a movie actress isn't so bad after all. Several weeks ago Wendy Bar-rie's doctor ordered her to eat a pound of candy daily for her campaign to gain weight. A movie columnist printed the story and before the week was out. the star of "Submarine Alert" had received almost a barrel of candy from various concerns. One of the firms even offered to.

supply the actress with candy free- for the next five years if she would endorse their product. However, if candy keeps pouring in, she will already have enough candy to last her five years. CHILE now estimates its copper deposits total over 1,250,000,000 tons. Trading Skates for Wings' over by the owners of the Fort Pitt and John Wilms-Floet has been put in charge of the cuisine. John knows his sauces and such and should start the patrons talking enthusiastically.

The new management also is getting the Mayfair Roof Garden in shape for an early opening. Patrons of the Merry-Go-Round like the new show at the club on Washington Blvd. Leon Fields has some funny new gags; Hoo Shee, the Chinese swing songstress clicks with some good songs; Jose Mona present some nice dance routines and Vivien Newell does some clever acrobatic work. Phyllis Wells, an expert acro batic dancer and the Two Chords, slick impersonators of "name" bands open at the Nixon Res taurant tonight. DeMar Denise and Lester Ohman, the man with the "human" puppets have been held over.

Bob Carter does the MC chore and adds some songs which are always big-time. Al Ball, pianist with the Aris tocrats of Swing at the Sky Vue Club gets a lot of attention from dancers and ringsiders with his stunts. He does all sorts of tricks while pounding out some smart rhythms. NIXON TONIGHT 8:30 Geo. Abbott Presents Q5EESTT EFQDdDTT MATS.

2 Instead of wings on his feet wrhich sends him gliding over the ice with the speed and grace of a bird, Bobby Specht, U. S. Figure Skating Champion of 1942, soon will be wearing wings for Uncle Sam. While appearing here with "Ice Capades of 1943," Bobby enlisted in the U. S.

Army Air Corps, and was sworn in. He was told that he wouldn't be called to report for duty for four or five months, so in the interim he will continue to appear with Ice Capades in its crosscountry tour, which will find the show in Pittsburgh starting Nov. 5, at The Gardens. Specht is hailed by experts as the most spectacular and spirited male; 1 fllS feCreeil Waxes Fat On Work HOLLYWOOD Eleanor Powell loses from 10 to 20 pounds during one of her dancing pictures, and Lana Turner drops almost as much while making a romantic movie with Clark Gable. But, the feminine star has been found in Hollywood who doesn't lose a pound while at her work.

In fact, she gains. The new star is Lassie, beautiful collie dog being starred in "Lassie Come Home." In the picture, Lassie swims rivers, climbs rocks and mountains, battles rain and snow storms. She digs her way under fences, and leaps over them. She fights mad dogs and thugs. KWANTUNG PROVINCE, China, is spending six million Chinese dol lars to teach gliding.
