The picture pre- sents Robert Taylor, Charles Laugh- ton and Brian Donlevy as naval heroces, ami dfights with enemy air- craft, rescues, and attack on a battleship under smoke screen. Taylor plays a young lieutenant assigned with an older officer, play- ed by Donlevy, to a recommissioned destroyer They are assigned to guard a convoy, and amid amaz- ing adventures, including the rescue of twenty babies in drifting life- boats (which forces all hands to turn amateur nursemaids) bring their charge safely to port. Laugh- ton plays an American admiral, and his address to the men on the de- |stroyer, with its tribute to John Paul Jones, is an inspiring moment in the thrilling production | i Walter Brennan injects comedy |as a veteran yeoman, Chill Wills provides more laughs, and Richard | Quine, Douglas Fowley, Marta Lin- ! d Gown baed | jden, Marilyn Maxwell and Inez | Cooper are other prinecipals. The story was by Commander |Harvey Haislip, USN. and R. C. '| Sherriff. Technical tasks in depict- jing the sea action are almost mir- aculous, and photography by Charles {Rosher is outstanding. Action is almost entirely at sea under battle conditions. COST of this' gown which Ginger Rogers wears in her new picture, | “The Lady of the Dark,” cost al- | most $6,000. Of sparkling, hand- | sewn sequins, it has a bolero, muff and over-skirt of lustrous | mink.

TO20TH CENTURY| | As spine-tingling a bit of .xus-‘ pense-filled | melodrama as Holly-| wood has produced in many, many moons, Paramount’s murder mys- tery film, “Street of Chance,” comes to the 20th Century Sunday, with Burgess Meredith and Claire Trevor as the stars. | | The story, written by that ace author of detective fiction, Cornell Woolrich, and made into a screen play by Garrett Fort, is that rare ong mystery tales, a yarn s startingly unusual | Meredith has the role of Frank Thompson, an ordinary every day sert of chap who gets a severe blow on the head and wakes up to find himself in the middle of more ex- citement and action than most people could experience in a couple| of lifetimes. | He discovers that he was an am- nesia victim for more than a year —and that, during that year, he has apparently ccmmitted a mur- |der. He turns fugitive and sleuth at the same time and sets out to learn the truth about himself.

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY | ture. to his duties the first of next week., That probably helped to account | for the jump in the birth rate the, {following fall. In normal times| {many of those babies would have! arrived in the spring of 1943 or| later. | | As the war training program got underway most of the millions of new soldiers remained in this coun- try, with more-or-less regular home leaves and frequent visits with their families. In many cases families followed the rookie to training camp. That helped keep the birth rate up to the level where the first shock of war sent it in September. Then why the sudden drop in the birth rate in October, 1943? Now 1842's rookie soldlers are finished fighters. Home leaves be- come less frequent as more and more men sail from the United | States to join actual combat over- seas, Count back from October—the first month of a declining birth rate—and you'll find yourself in the | winter of 1942-43, the time when American troops were pouring lnto‘ North Africa by the thousands. Hundreds of ‘them were separated from American homes for the first time. And nine and 10 months later the number of new babies took its first war-time slump. ————-— BUY WAR BONDS .
