Last night's communique reported the taking of "several localities' from the Germans and that the Germans lost heavily in men and machines. Twenty German planes w»re shot down on Tuesday. It said. The Russians lost nil planes. (Reports reaching Uindon Indicated the Russians were advancing satisfactorily In five main sectors: Staraya Ruasa. Rshev. Smolensk, and the I'kraiiie Considerable progress also was evident In the Orel area. (One report was that the Russian* had captured an "important piaie" In the U-ningrad area The brilliant victory around Staraya Russa, in which at least 12.00 n Germans were killed, seemed to open the way for a direct attack on the German- Investing Laningrad. 140 mile* to the north I The Value the Germans placed

■ fiction, the world would come to ‘an end. “Well.” he adds with a rueful smile, "here I am, and look at the world. Maybe Dad was right.” there are very few visitors on movie sets these days but, over at Columbia. I find a group of five .'•erious-faced young men watching Ronald Colman and Clyde Fllmore enact a scene for "Three la a Crowd.” On? of them I* the Russian con. sul and the other four are Russian flyers and engineers who have come to this country to buy planes. A Belalcv, the head of the group, talks English. Until he came to this country, he tells me. he had never seen a pic* ture with Ronald Colman, Cary Grant, Jean Arthur or any of the players In “Three Is a Crowd.” “I had seen Deanna Durbin and Jeanette MacDonald, though,” ho adds. Over in Russia, I learn, there are so many different language groups that one of their films was relensed in 57 different tongues. That is one reason why the best known American stars in Russia are singing aiars. Even when dialogue is unintelligible, the appeal of music is universal. Director Alfred Hitchcock finally has revealed the secret ending of his new picture, "Saboteur." It is a chase that reaches its climax in the Statue of Liberty. Hitchcock doesn’t mind revealing the secret now because it Is too late for some quickie company to beat him to the screen with a similar situation. On a Universal sound stage this week. I watch Robert Cummings chasing the saboteur of the story up the stairs on the inside of the statue. On another stage is a fullsize replica of the arm and the torch. The chase comes to its exciting finish with Cummings and Norman Lloyd, who plays the saboteur, staging a death-struggle between Liberty’s thumb and first finger. Ironically I can't find anybody on the set except Hitchcock and Cameraman Joe Valentine, who ever has been Inside the real statue. When I ask Priscilla Lane, she laughs and says: “I have another confession to make. In all the time I’ve been In California. I’ve never been to Catalina or to Palm Springs.”
