10. (T) To a trouper of the old school the show must go on and that's why Madame Maria Ouspenskava, silver-hatred actress In he( 70s, went through fiva shows of "Outrageous fortune" with fever of 104 and near collapse from lobar pneumonia. The Ru.sslan-born actress became 111 Wednesday. She insisted on play, lng the evening performance. When the curtain fell, her physician went backstage, examined her, said she had lobar pneumonia.

Ha pleaded that slit remain in bed. especially since the play ws to close Saturday night. She replied: "I am an artist and when you love what you do, you fmd the force and energy to do lt through love and willpower," And, she added. If she failed to go on the show would have, to closi as she had no understudy and the cast would lose a half week's pay. Madam Ouspenskaya was taken to Mt, filnai hospital yesterday but she wasn't thinking about her illness.

She was wondering how soon she could entertain troops in the Aleutians. Labor SHIPYARD STRIKE PHILADELPHIA. Jan, 10. Vpw Thousands of employes of Cramp Shipbuilding company trooped back to their Jobs today, ending a four-day strike that halted all production and brought protests from the navy, the war labor board and their ow-n union. About 11.000' day shift workers reported this morning and several thousand others went back at midnight.

The rest of the plant's 17,000 workers were expected to report for the afternoon swing. Hollywood Bf ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD Remember th days when the Hollywoods were tilled with second-string Shirley Temples? And studios which didn't have a Shirley were looking for one? And mammaa everywhere wero carting their golden darlings to Hollywood hoping? Well, the snows of yesteryear aren't much scarcer than the remnants of that tiny tyke invasion. But today I picked up the traces of the No. 1 contender, the golden curly babe who. unheralded at the time came closest.

And I'm happy to report that she's now the first-string Joan Carroll. 13 this January, a healthy-looking pretty child with light-brown hair and clear, honest blue eyes. She can be found on the set of "Meet Me In St. Louts." where she's playing one of Judy Garland's sisters. Joan, horn In Westfield, N.

came to Hollywood with her mother seven years ago. She was a dan-ing school prodigy, and Joan's mother and dad believed friends who said It tu shame to keep her away from Hollywood. Nobody knew Joan Felt when she arrived. Nobody knew her mother. Mrs.

Felt put Joan In the mly dancing school she knew, and It was a luckv choice. A bit in a movie came Immediately. And after a few more. Joan played In a Claire Trevor movie and got a contract at 20th Century-Fox. That was where 8hlrlcy Temple worked.

Joan "elt became Joon Carroll, and the future was rosy. Joan's father, a business man. and her brother moved out. What happened then is an old storv in Hollvwoood. Carbo had Tala Blrell, Nelson Eddy had his Allan Jones, and Shirley Temple had her Joan Carroll.

Whn stars get obstreperous or too de manding, studios like to have a handy. There were many times when Shlrlevs folks didn't see eye-to-eve with the 20th folks. Came a great dav when Joan was told to learn Shlrlevs role In "Susannah of the Mountains." Joan did and Shirley changed her mind. So Joan's break came, not in a Temple role, but in a Oinger rtoeers picture "The Primrose. Path." She nlaved a brat.

She was wonderful. So Buddy DrSvlva took her to New York to play In "Pam-ma Hattie," and she came back to our town a hit. But illustrative of the tincr-tamtles facing movie moonets. even talented ones. Is the fact that Joan's career from then to the present has embraced only two minor roles.

Also illustrative Is the remark of Mrs. Felt, a movie mamma with a sense of humor: "When we went to see Mr, DeSvlva, I didn't know what type of child he wanted. I took a chance and dressed her In ruffles and curls. For once I messed right. Usually the guess Is exactly wrong!"

Sleel 52', Wool worth 38 Chaplain Vest Addresses USO Counsellors The Front Street U. 8. O. Counseling group had Chaplain Thomas E. West of the 442nd Combat Team, Camp Shelby, as guest speaker today for its regular monthly luncnon meeting.

"Counseling is as old as Chaplain West said, "and it is for all people, everywhere." Methods for successful counseling were suggested by Chaplain West. Rev. L. D. Haughton.

Stokes. new director of the Front Street U. 8. replacing C. D.

Curtis who resigned to become regional U. 8. O. director. wa Introduced by Mr.

Hibbard. Mr. Stokes commended the group on he splendid program of personal counseling it has achieved, saying it was far superior to any of a like nature that he has observed. Parts of a letter from a soldier who had received one of the U. 8.

marked New Testaments were read by Rev. A. T. Hickman. "Verses leading to a saving faith In Christ," are marked In the testaments left at the USO for free distribution.

Sergeant Kenneth Harmon, sr. companied by Mrs. Robin Longic sang "The Lord's Prayer." "The chaplain Is the con'act man for the soldier and his commanding officer," Chaplain West said. Sincerity. Interest of the fellow asking for advice, command of his respert, and maintenance of personal dignity were some of the qualifications tor successful counseling as recommended by Chaplain West.

"There is an old army saying. 'Go to your chaplain when In but I say go- to your chaplain to keep from getting in trouble," was the advice of Chaplain West. The example of the present, governor of Virginia who quit college in his junior year to go to the army during the last, war. and who came back, returned to school and has now become governor, was cited by the chaplain, as an example that might be used to show soldiers that th-ir experiences now may help them sft- the war; that, more of them are coming back than will be killed, and that a "fling" now does not aid adjustment. "The counselor Is the hope of the person seeking help," Chaplain West declared.

"He must be made to feel that something can and will be done." Attending the meeting of counselors today were: Dr. D. Pickens, K. Sten, Rev. D.

Jan. J0 Pj A year ago the continuance of professional football was fronted with a number of perplexing problems. These problems amounted to a challenge.

The National league owners accepted the challenge and were rewarded with their best season. Continued operation In 1944 presents the same problems. They no longer, however, constitute the formidable challenge that confronted owners In 1943, when on every hand well-meaning observers warned that teams could not lie gotten together. Here and there throughout the year certain observers, bemoaning tlie lo's of stars, professed to see a decline in National league play but attendance figures seem to lielie any Inferiority in the calibre of league competition, New stars came to the front. More persons, by Mime 34,000, saw the 42 league roittests last year than Witnessed 56 games In 1942.

10 7P Maybe you've heard somctodv say: "I'm glad I won have to Me an income tax return this year That's all taken care of now by th cm-plover." Or "I paid half my 1942 tax last Mutch and June, and then they forgave all but one-fourth of it, so I've got some credit coming." Both are wrong. These seem to be two of the most widespread misunderstandings about the federal Income tax law. Other taxpayers who may be In for a Jolt are those who say, "I won't owe much If anything In March" or "the government's going to owe ME money." Here's the situation: With the exception of men and women overseas or at sea. everybody who had money takeji out of his pay in 1943 for federal Income Mid victory taxes, or who owed a lax on 1942 Income, or who made as much as if single, or $824 If married. In 194.1, needs to file a nnal uy inn i tn li oiujr mj apply for a refund.

I Nut F.acitaed The fact, that your employer has to tell the Internal revenue bureau! (how much he paid you and how' much was taken out of your pay for taxes doesn't excuse you from mak-1 ing a return. So far as the reve- jnuers know, you may hae had a I lot of income from some other! i source. The payments made last March and June on the 1942 tax have been applied instead, in the average taxpayer's case, against the 194:1 tax. Congress decided to cancel 75 per cent tor a minimum of of the individual's 1942 or 1943 tax. whichever turned out to be.

lower, and to collect the biggT tax in full. That means that In the average case, there's 2" per cent of the lax still to be paid -half of It this March, the other half next year. Refunds Before any refunds are made, there are two Items to be considered 1.
