Madeleine Carroll, co-tiarring currently at the Capitol In "My Favorite Blond" mix melodrama and merriment in a fast-moving film which despite its py background is bound to make ven the dryest crack a smile. Hope Is at his funniest and Madeleine Carroll, as lovely as ever, gives a brilliant performance which manages to get every laugh ut of the piece. The plot concerns a feminine JSritish agent taking secret flying orders in a scorpion brooch from lN'ew York to Los Angeles.

Nazi gangsters are hot on her trail and In her flight she stumbles on a mild-mannered vaudeville performer who is going to Hollywood a trained penguin. Bob Hope, as the penguin train-ir, finds that the Nazi spys are playing for keeps and tries to take a run-out on Madeleine Carroll, but realizes that he has fallen for her. In helping her to ret the secret orders across the country, they from an apartment by putting on a domestic brawl in true slap-stick comedy style and getting a police escort. They find themselves In m. women's meeting where Bob Hope has to talk as a doctor on the care of babies and, before the fast-moving film comes to an end, they have had many hairbreadth escapes amid much hilarity.

Action and laughs, as you would expect, center around Hope who clowns to the utmost and a surprise sequence in which Bing Crosby gives Hope the clue for a comical bit is really funny. Miss Carroll, in the title role, has considerable to do with the action and her quick appreciation for comic values is of tremendous assistance in the amusement. Gale Sondergaard, George Zuc-co and Victor Varconi. as members of the Nazi band of murderers, play the supporting roles. Superman appears on the same bill In "The Magnetic Telescope" In which he again does the impossible.

Get Coal Early Is Advice Given The announcement of the minister of munitions and supply that fuel oil will not be available for house heating places an additional responsibility upon consumers to lay in their fuel supplies early. It was stated last night.

The coal administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, J. McG. Stewart, warned consumers again that they cannot expect to be supplied with any particular selected size of United States anthracite, but must be prepared to take whatever sizes are available. Any consumer who postpones filling his bin in the hope of getting some selected size later on runs the risk of being without coal next winter, the administrator said. Well Known Resident, Mrs.
