I wouldn’t be surprised if Robert Montgomery, star, is already disconcerted by it, but Major W. S. Van Dyke III, of the U. S. Marine Corps, is taking it in stride p The picture, “Rage in Heaven,” had begun under dircetion Robert Sincl but the latter gave up the helm. Needing a quick take-over, Metro got in touch with Van Dyke, who these past several months has been on active duty in San Diego “I'm working for Uncle Sam now,” said Van. “You'll have the bess.” ftro asked the “boss,” and Van Dyke was granted 14 days’ “I'm drawing my regular army pay of $270 a month, PERCY’S CAFE ® STOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD © FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS the of w0 leave. he says. Contracts were off when I went full time to the army. Of course, they can give me a bonus here for doing the picture, but I'm using up all my leave for months ahead. I'll get most of the picture done, I think, but somebody else will have to wind it up. Right now, I'm not much interested in pictures. There's a bigger show going on.” Among the objects of Van's disinterest was the author of the story he's filming. He hadn't herd, for instance, that James Hilton wrote it. But then, as he explained, “I never have much to do with writers.” (Was that a groan from Bob Montgomery’s corner?) “Rage in Heaven” is Ingrid Bergman's first Hollywood work with a director other than Gregory Ratoff. She seemed a little bewildered by the speed of the man who, even in normal times, was known as “Hurry Up” Van Dyke. “How Green Was My Valley” is postponed again until June, when the hills around the local valleys will be brown under the hot sun. .. . “A Woman's Face,” title of an Ingrid Bergman picture made abrad, will be Joan Crawford’s over here.

Service f Now is the opportunity for any , over 18 years of age, a high school graduate and . physically fied. to be enlisted in ‘he | ka Communication System for {duty in Alaska or Seattle, who can touch type at the rate of 39 |words a minute or send and re- ceive the International Morse Code at a rate of 15 words per minute, or have other technical qualifica- tions which would make them de- sireable for Signal communication work. This statement was made to- day by Roger H. Stevenson, Opera- tor-in-Charge of the Signal Corbs, United States Army, in Juneau. | The pay to start in Alaska is rapproximately $120 per month, but |during the past year due to the !large increase in the Army, those who were already enlisted, advanced in grades and ratings very rapidly. Any applicants accepted at this time, will probably find advance- ments come quickly at the present time and in the near future, due to) this expanding army. This is a career that should appeal especi- ally to amateur operators, at least for an enlistment or two.. Further particulars for applicants may lLe obtained at the Radio Office of the Signal Corps in the Federal Building The Alaska Communication Sys- tem has lost approximately 80 of their most experienced operators in the past year due to transfers fo the United States to be used as key men in forming. of the many new; Signal Companies and Battalions created by the increase of the Reg- ular Army to 1,200,000 men. The System has also received sn increase in personnel, and this in- crease together with replacements for the men already transferred,| must be filled from voluntary en- listments in the Army for the Al- aska Communication System. It has been very difficult in the past few years to obtain qualified operators to fill vacancies, and at the present time it has become ex- tremely difficult to find any ap- plicants of any suitable qualifica- tions whatever, due to new jobs being created in civil life, enlist- ments in the Army and Navy in the States, and possibly due to the conseription. In order to try and fill a quota of about 80 vacancies on the System, the qualifications have been considerably lessened. ‘ AR G S S SUMRALL T0 GIVE FAREWELL SERVICES HEREONTOMORROW, Author and Lecturer will Leave for Fairbanks on Electra Tuesday Lester F.
