Stage Film Misleads Talented For the laudable purpose of aiding the Council of the Living Theater a goodly company of stars and other leading figures contributed their appearances in "Main Street to Broadway," at the Adams Theater. They are supposed to be part of a young playwright's struggles to have a play produced on Broadway, But would Ethel Barrymore (practically inaccessible to terviewers in her touring days) and Louis Calhern go down to a police station to free an unknown from the clutches of the l.w? Would Tallulah Bankhead commission an unknown to write a folksy little play for her? THESE THINGS and others involving the famous happen to Tony (Tom Morton), t1 the aspiring dramatist of the picture. In consequence the movie gives the phoniest possible idea of what such a young man may expect if he sets out to storm Broadway's heights. As if they 1 knew that what they were doing was misleading, the stars either give self-conscious performances or treat the whole thing like a merry romp. Instead of the million-watt sparkle their "name" power should have generated, the picture is as weak and dreary as a kerosene lantern in a fog.

Two players who have fictional roles in the story brighten it most--Agnes Moorehead AS well-heeled agent and Herb Shriner as the homespun hardware merchant suitor of the girl. As Frank, Shriner goes around handing out key rings with tags shaped like the map of Indiana, saying, "Indiana is the only state that will open a bottle of beer." TO ANYONE who loves the theater all this trivia, this incredible picture of a talented youth finally getting his play directed by John Van Druten is painful to the point of tragedy. At best it is a film curiosity, strange and saddening for its unrealized possibilities. The screen, credited with having helped kill off the road, was put at the service of the theater in this movie, which has a share of its profits earmarked for the Council of the Living Theater. "Main Street to Broadway" ought to be rushed back into the film can before it kills off both stage and screen.

HELEN BOWER All Is Forgiven Barbara If Barbara Stanwyck is satisfied to go on playing "fallen women" because such roles pay off best, that's up to her. But it does seem as if she could use her acting talents to better purpose than in such an illogical and loosely constructed movie as "All I Desire" at the Madison Theater. In this, as Naomi Murdoch, she is the lost sheep gathered back into the family fold 10 years after she ran out on her school teacher husband, three children and the small town of Riverdale, to go on the stage. SHE'S DOING a cheap single in vaudeville when she gets a letter from her younger daughter Lily (Lori Nelson), begging Naomi to come back to see Lily star in her high school graduation play. The Murdochs think Naomi is something like a second Bernhardt.

Lily evidently got her mother's address from Lena, the cook who has faithfully written Naomi all those years. The role of Lena is played by a good character woman whose name isn't in the pressbook. Naomi makes such a hit that she is encouraged to stay on a few days in her old home where the love of her husband Henry (Richard Carlson) is reawakened. This is in spite of the disapproval of her older daughter Joyce (Marcia Henderson). THEN IT develops that Naomi had really run away from temptation in the person of Dutch Heineman (Lyle Bettger), local hardware merchant.

Dutch is eager to revive the past. He is accidentally wounded when Naomi keeps a final rendezvous at which she planned to tell him off for good. But Henry and the rest are willing to face scandal for her sake, if she'll only settle down again. It looks as if she will when the picture ends. The movie goes haywire as far as period and costumes are concerned.

The women's leg-o'-mutton sleeves belong to the '90s, but Lily talks about Mr. Halley's comete, which was 1910. The school play is directed by the drama teacher (Maureen O'Sullivan, acting very well), who is sweet on Henry and knows she has lost him the moment Naomi re-appears. In the play Lily, as a baroness, smokes a cigarette which would have been enough to run a teacher out of town in 1890 or 1910. HELEN BOWER.

STAR GAZING DETROIT FREE PRESS Saturday, Aug. 1, 1953 9 Gentlemen Prefer Marilyn Monroe BY HELEN BOWER Free Press Movie Critie I give up. I surrender, dear. Throw in the towel and the sponge! Marilyn Monroe is here to stay, as in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," Technicolor musical and anatomical display at the United Artists Theater. In working up the same old grind, it was awfully of somebody to think of co-starring Jane Russell and building her role of Dorothy to match that of Lorelei Lee (Miss Monroe).

Together the gals are quite a team, and the movie is quite a picture. It doesn't matter if the script plays fast and loose with Anita Loos' famous story, taken out of the '20s into '50s. It here, doesn't matter if Miss Monroe is a different type dumb blonde from Carol Channing, whom Detroiters saw in the stage musical. Miss Monroe, one of the more elemental girls, is a strictly elemental Lorelei. She has a onetrack mind track is studded with diamonds." SO FAR as story goes, Lorelei and Dorothy set sail on a luxury liner after the father of Gus Esmond (Tommy Noonan) won't let him escort Lorelei to Europe.

Ernie Malone (Elliott Reid) is the private eye hired by Gus' father to get the goods on Lorelei, The presence of Sir Francis Beekman (co-star Charles Coburn) among the passengers is appreciated by Lorelei. The old boy owns a diamond mine and Lorelei proposes to promote herself a few diamonds, preferably in a tiara like that belonging to Lady Beekman. Once in Paris Miss Bower the girls have to take a cabaret job because their hotel reservations and the letter of credit from Gus have been canceled. Lorelei is also accused of having acquired the Beekman tiara. Ernie falls in love with othy, who is fanatically loyal to Lorelei.

Miss Russell's impersonation scene in the French police court is something to see. FINALLY Gus' father, played by Taylor Holmes, is won over and there is a double wedding on shipboard' going back to America. Hung on this story line are song numbers, most. amusing among them Miss Russell's "Anyone Here For Love sung in the ship's gymnasium full of heedless Olympic team athletes. Biggest production number, of course, is Miss Monroe's hit song, "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." She's extremely fetching in this, and that the voice you hear is her own.

Young George Winslow, my pet, has a couple of, scenes as Henry Spofford, III, Lorelei judges from the passenger list to be older than he is. has a task his elders could covet when he has to free Lorelei from a porthole she's using as an escape hatch. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is a lot of fun and lovely to look at. But I'll still maintain it wouldn't have been as delightful without Miss Russell. HUBERT TONIGHT 8:20 AIR COOLED LAST WEEKS MAT.

The new package, the result of months of extensive research and tests, was announced this week by Joseph W. Mooney, vice president of the American Sugar Refining Co. Its important feature is a fold-down inner liner, made of specially treated waxed glassine paper.

It serves the twofold purpose of retaining the moisture content of brown sugars and preventing atmospheric changes from affecting the refinery fluffiness of confectioners' sugar. The new package will be used for old-fashioned brown sugar, light brown sugar and confectioners' sugar with production scheduled to start this week at four of the company's five refineries.

"UNDER THE LITTLE BIG below, pushing upward rather than squeezing down from above. There should be no tightness at the waist and the support should be chiefly from below. A girdle if it is worn with a well fitted brassiere gives freedom of movement at the waist and makes one rely more on one's own muscles because of increased freedom of movement.

Regardless of how good the girdle and brassiere or the allin-one foundation garment, it should never take the place of one's own muscles. TWO EXERCISES good for strengthening the muscles of the abdomen follow. Lie down flat on your back in bed, or on the floor. Raise to sitting position without touching hands or elbows or arms to bed or floor, depending on the muscles of your torso to raise you. Do this two times the first day and gradually increase to 10 times night and morning.

At first you may have to cheat a. little and help yourself up with your arms, but as your muscles get stronger you will find it easier. The strain on the muscles of the abdomen is felt as a soreness and pulling along the lower margin of the ribs where the abdominal muscles are attached. Another good exercise: Raise both legs at right angles to body, so they are straight up a in the air, knees straight. Now.

slowly let legs down to bed or floor. This seems strenuous and takes effort and you will have to rest after each time. Free Press leaflet B-88, "Flatten the Abdomen," contains descriptions of other exercise of this kind. A threecent stamp should accompany any request for a leaflet.
