The Navy has upped Bob Montgomery to lieutenant commander. Robert (Pere Lorentz's protege) Ryan dons an Army shoot-suit next week. Veronica Lake returned from Seattle without her IV2 -year-old dotter; Hubby John Detlie (an Army captain) kept the tot there to compete in a better babies' contest.

Xavier Cugat is the twelfth big-name band leader to ink an MGM contract. Lieut. William Holden has been given a close-to-home assignment at the Santa Ana (Calif.) Air Base. Capt. Jack Holt (the Cavalry) is seriously ill in the Veterans Hospital, at Sawtelle, Calif.

Blue-pencil those persistent rumors of romance between Don Loper and Lela (Ginger's mama) Rogers; he's already married. Eddie Bracken, with months to wait before facing cameras in "Dr. Wassel," has bid for an overseas entertainment tour. Billing on "Five Graves to Cairo" will read: "With Franchot Tone and Anne Baxter. Mister Eric von Stro-heim as Field Marshal Erwin Rommel." Give odds that the Betty Grable-George Raft flame is burning low.

Bob Hope, whose first booklet, "They've Got Me Covered," sold by millions, is scribing another that will satirize Hollywood. ACCORDING to Myrna Loy's intimates, the real reason for her "retirement" was dissatisfaction with her roles. That explanation leaves me wondering exactly what kind of roles could satisfy her. Certainly the parts she played, opposite William Powell, Clark Gable and other top-notch male stars, were entertaining enough to make her one of the best-loved ladies in America, and one of the highest paid actresses in show business. Nine out of 10 Hollywood femmes would give their eye teeth for similar opportunities.

What constitutes a "good role," anyway public approval or the nebulous "bravos" of some arty blue-stocking IN YEARS PAST, Hollywood opinion has not been too kind to the many Europeans who came here for picture work. Frequently we were given ample cause to resent their "superior" attitude. But today I think most Americans might learn a lesson from the aver age foreign star. I have in mind, particularly, a simple sentence uttered the other day by Greek Katina Paxinou, when I asked her LU 1 Every 8:30 Night AT Bargain Mat. TODAY Sun.

If the latter picture comes off less successfully than could be wished, it Is because Orson Welles, its producer, attempted to cover too much ground, with episodic treatment that does not always tie together smoothly. Secret in the Home, Wife Gets Divorce HOLLYWOOD, March 12 (UP) The marriage of Jackie Moran, 21-year-old movie star, was revealed when his 19-year-old wife appeared in court and obtained a divorce "because I was just a little secret around the house." The former Terry Martin, magazine cover girl and screen actress, asked an annulment because she was never introduced as Mrs. Moran and no one ever came to see her. The judge granted her a divorce instead. She said they were married on Nov.

16, 1941, in Las Vegas, Nev. "His family didn't want the marriage known because they feared it might injure his career as a boy star," she eaid. Ami Harding Bach on Ranch for Rest HOLLYWTOOD, March 12 Her role in "Mission to Moscow" finished, Ann Harding sought rest and seclusion at the little hideaway ranch she and her husband, Werner Janssen, purchased a year ago on the banks of the Santa Marie River, near Fallbrook. Miss Harding promptly returned to Hollywood in search of rest and seclusion. The United States Army has moved in on her hideaway and troops are encamped at Camp Pendleton, which is smack jam up against the boundaries of the ranch.

Gig Young Gets Call for Coast Guard Duty HOLLYWOOD, March 12 Gig Young, who without fanfare or the knowledge of his studio, enlisted in the United States Coast Guard on Dec. 7, 1942, first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, has been called into active service. Young's father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James Beverley Stapler, and his sister-in-law, Miss Jody Stapler, are prisoners of the Japanese in the Philippines.

o. m. Broadw 'Clietniks' Is Exciting Tale "Chetnike" probably would be put down by the experts as a documentary film, yet with all its fac-tuality there is a chain of incidents marking the fight of the Yugoslavs against the German vandals which gives it a warmth not always revealed in w-ar pictures. Its theme is the guerilla warfare waged by these dauntless Balkanc whr, talr trw th mnnn- tains and harass the enemy so effectively under the leadership of oen. Draja Mihailovitch.

It depicts graphically, without too much carnage, the cunning, the resourcefulness of a fierce people battling for the freedom of their land, against German brutality. "Cherniks" starts off with the slaying of a Nazi commander and winds up with a patriotic declaration on the part of Mi-hailovitch that drew outbursts of applause from the first audience at the Adams Friday. In between there is plenty of action and suspense that calls for and receives good treatment. Philip Dorn plays Mihailovitch, faced with the choice of the lives of his wife and children or surrender. You know what to expect with such an unwavering patriot in the foreground: but the cool determination with which he makes the choice brings forth moving drama, instead of a mere exhibition of heroics.

There is fine repression to his characterization throughout. MUSICAL FOR RELIEF Equally good is Anna Sten as his wife, and the children are admirably portrayed by Merrill Rodin and Patricia Prest. Virginia Gilmore and John Shepperd assist materially in supporting assignments with a romantic touch. Martin Kosleck is one of those hard-bitten Gestapos of the screen. Providing far lighter fare is "It Comes Up Love," co-starring Gloria Jean and Donald O'Connor, two of Hollywood's most gifted juvenile performers.

They are given plenty of latitude in which to display their versatility in this comedy with music and dancing. Among those outstanding in association w-ith the youthful pair are Ian Hunter, Louise Allbritton, Frieda Insecourt and Charles Coleman. L. G. S.

After thinking a mo-! ment, she answered: "It is this i that no human beings have the right to so many chances for happiness." I'M USING Red Skelton as an example, not because he's done more than dozens of other Hollywood stars, but because his latest contribution to the war effort happens to be fresh in my mind. The other day, traveling in an Army bomber, he went to Arizona. Within 48 hours after his arrival there he had made appearances in 16 camps. Driving back to Los Angeles, via automobile, he detoured to bring laughs to four more.

That was Skelton's way of starting the first vacation he's had in more than three years. Sometimes the effusions of their press agents have made Hollywood stars seem a bit silly but they rate a hand for a good job, well done. Jach Marshall Bach at Royal Jack Marshall, "America's Number One Joker," comes back to Detroit this week to head the new Club Royale show with his witty "impressions." Opening Friday night, he uses as his main prop the brim of an old felt hat and satirizes a long line of personalities. Heading the supporting show are Leslie and Carroll, a romantic young singing team. Following the team comes a combination of two young ladies known as The Youngs, who whirl about in fast tumbling routines and flips.

Dancing Starlet Rita Roper concludes the featured line-up. The Titian Royalettes open and close the show with new production routines, while George Kav-anagh does the music for the show and dancing. Roy Tracy does the honors at the mike. 'Say It ivith Swing Three Trees Revue "Say It Writh Swing," sepia revue at the Three Trees, has swung into its second week, led by jive singer Ruby Logan. There's no priority on singing, dancing or humor in this gay production.

Horace Payne, master of ceremonies, introduces a cast including Snowball, speed tapster; the "human ape," Timbu, slack wire-walking star; Irene Young, surprise feature; Fanny Butler, producer and talented dancer; Lorene, exotic dancer; Marge Pettway, tap flash, and the dancing Fayettes. It's Al Williams' hot-swing tempos for dancing and the show. JL1 nafcrtfl VVFFYS THE LAFf OPENING THUR.

HEDY BRINGS SUIT Only one of them with the nerve to go to court about it is Hedy Lamarr, who has filed a suit against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, designed to force that concern to pay her the $2,000 a week it contracted to pay her and let her worry about President Roosevelt's salary ceiling. Miss Lamarr contends that if she doesn't collect the full $2,000 every Saturday night, then her contract is no good and she has the right to work where she pleases. Metro replies that its hands are tied by the Government's order, that it can't give her $2,000 a week, and that it wants to keep her under contract.

Furthermore, says Metro plaintively in an answer filed in Superior Court, Miss Lamarr seems to have gone on a sit-down strike and will the court please hurry its decision so the raven-haired Hedy can get back to her sarong Cotten, Buttcmvorth Given 'Army Roles HOLLYWOOD, March 12 Joseph Cotton has been borrowed from David O.

21 vtCT'iu A BRAND NEW REVUE "SAY IT WITH SWING" RUBY LOGAN Sensational Jive Singer 'Tat People" brings Simone Simon, the little French who started off so promisingly in Hollywood, back into view, to give a very satisfactory performance as a girl haunted by the fear that she has inherited the traditional curse of the Yugoslovakian village where evil women, according to legend, were turned Into cats, whose kiss brought death to the recipient. She meets Kent Smith in New York, carries him. Their happiness is shortlived, chiefly because of her fear tha she will turn into a leopard-like creature bent on human destruction. Her visits to a psychologist, played in fine fashion by Tom Conway, bring no relief. Insteady, they are his undoing, in a thrilling tragedy that needs not be detailed here.

Simone makes her way through his combination of phantasy and reality, and comes off creditably in a part that calls for emotional repression. Kent Smith does all right as the mismated engineer who, the tragedy over, finds the right girl in Jane Randolph, "whose work is well balanced. MYSTERY MELODRAMA Nazi intrigue and Turkish counter plotting provide suspense in "Journey into Fear, wherein Joseph Cotten, an American arm ament engineer, is slated to be rubbed out by German agents Istanbul. But the head of the Turkish secret police, in the person of Orson Welles, decrees otherwise. Gotten, leaving his wife behind, and departing without hat or baggpge, is put on a cattle boat, uncertain as to who are his real friends, if any, among a nondescript group.

The Nazi agents also get aboard the tramp steamer, where the game of hide-and-seek continues quite bewilderingly. The picture gets into its most exciting pace in the concluding moments, with the manhunt continuing, unsuccessfully, on the rain swept cornice of a hotel. Cotten acts the American bombastically, and talks back fearlessly to the high-and-mighties. Welles plays Col. Haki satisfactorily.

Dolores Del Rio comes in and out as a Eurasian dancer. There are a dozen other recognized names in the supporting cast, including Richard Bennett in a broad burlesque as a ship's captain, and Ruth Warrick as the properly puzzled but complaint wife of Cotten. Of course they are reunited for the fadeout. Turns Hero Henry Fonda is the faltering corporal who takes over so heroically when his superior is killed in "The Immortal Sergeant," continuing at the Fox. The accompanying picture is "How's About It," with the Andrews Sisters.

Tonite MORE DAYS Villus "LADY BODYGUARD" IPDH ALUM AHM SHIHIT 59c ni.slntoS BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, March 12 The Government hasn't heard the last of its $25,000 salary ruling insofar as it concerns movie stars. The stars maybe haven't heard the last from the Government, either. There's monkey business going on. Internal revenue officials even now are giving the jaundiced eye to some of the schemes designed to give a movie beauty her regular $250,000 every year, despite President Roosevelt's edict that $25,000 is enough for her.

One of Hollywood's leading movie makers, a man celebrated for his multimillion dollar epics, now has in operation a system designed to make the Government bite its fingernails. He hires all the stars he needs, but doesn't pay them anything. COLLECT ON SHARES For every picture he starts, he establishes a new corporation. He pays off his actors in stock. So if a beautiful blond is accustomed to get $100,000 a picture, he gives her $100,000 worth of stock.

When the picture's finished, the producer dissolves the corporation. The stockholders, including the blond, turn in their shares and collect from the corporation's treasury. The idea is that the President's salary dictum applies to salaries only not to stock sales. The lawyers claim the scheme is legal and if it is and if it spreads Mr. Roosevelt's wage limitation would seem to be effectively nullified.

Our well-known picture maker now has the first of 'his trick corporations in operation, with a big-time film before the cameras. He's keeping mum about the exact operations of his multiple-corporation plan, but if it works (without Federal law suits) you can bet that his picture actors will continue to live in the style to which they have become accustomed. MAY GET INTO JAM He and his beauties may get into a serious jam with their Uncle Sam. Well do we remember a few years back when many wealthy movie people incorporated their yachts, their homes, and their racing stables in order to make large tax deductions. Some of America's big men even set up a legal headquarters in the Bahamas, in Canada and elsewhere on the theory that their money was not in America and hence could not be taxed Congress fixed that.

And many a big shot paid up while his lawyer blushed. There may be some blushing around Hollywood soon. The fact remains that the picture stars are bitter over the President's $25,000 income rule. They insist unanimously that they don't mind living on $25,000 a year (no matter how much suffering that might entail), but that they do have the right to collect their whole salaries and then pay the Government whatever it wants in the way of taxes. They feel, in other words, that if they could get the privilege of holding their money in their Larry Steele pretent ALL NEW SHOW featuring GLADYS PALMER New Swing Sensation of Radio and Records RED CURLY LILLIAN FITZGERALD CARITHA HARBERT RUTH ASKEW AMBER STEELETTES CONGO ORCHESTRA iTU LJ LJ I 1 Drumboogie 1 i 1 IV 2D The Inquiring Reporter IOJMTIS MARIONETTES "Amazingly Lifalilt" THE HARTNELLS I MARY BETH Comedy Plut Lovely Sons Star JACKIE HILLIARD Singino Star of "VANITIES" DEBONETTES Dancers Delovely CHARLIE DUBIN'S ORCHESTRA 8231 Woodward Attention: WAR WORKERS Something New and Difftrent It's Mad to Order for Your Pleasure!
