The Empire has received many brief letters asking “what about the dimout that begins next Mon- day.” They ask various questions, the majority being: “Do windows on houses or apartments not fac- ing the channel, have to be dimmed out?” and “do business places where men are working at night, with windows not facing the channel, have to be curtained?” All letters suggest that the ivil- fan Defense Council could send their men with instructions to go around the town either Friday or Saturday night and give informa- tion and not wait until next Mon- day night, as there seems to be an absolute desire on the part of all to readily dimout when mooted questions can be explained.

The story of “Sullivan’s Travels”, sounds like a natural for comedy. Sturges creates a character named John L. Sullivan, a screw-ball Hollywood director who has made a success directing comedies, but who wants to make pictures of so- icial significance heavy with “mes- sages."The idea is that Sullivan, played by Joel McCrea, goes out in- to the world dressed as a hobo, ready to learn about the tougher aspects of life. “Sullivan’s Travels” is the fourth comedy written and directed by Sturges, who leaped to la deserved top spot with his very first directorial effort, “The Great [McGinty.” After “McGinty" came two more smash hit comedies, Veronica Eve.” WARMANPOWER Robert Warwick - William Demare |JOE FLAKNE IN 'began at 2 o'clock this afternoon tella Draper, Mrs, V.
