tures, as an art form, are still young, but maturing rapidly and changing their Inherent components equally fast. On the other hand, the stage is a set and mature medium which, with slight exceptions, has not varied a great deal from the days of Shakespeare or the Greek drama. Some of our biggest stars of the screen today would be even greater if their performances were not weakened by artificial and unnatural staginess, stage mannerisms, false vocal deliveries and other exaggerated traits that data back to their theater days. I realize it is difficult to get a start in motion pictures, but perhaps the new trend for naturalness in pictures will remedy that Perhaps you won’t have to be # star on the stage or on the radio to get your first break in films. Dorothy Lamour studied for • business career. Ann Sheridan started out by winning a Texas beauty contest Fred Mac Murray sang and played in a dance band. John Wayne was picked out of a studio labor gang by Director John Ford. Lauren Bacall was a model in New York. Ginger Rogers started out by winning a Charleston dancing contest. Mike Mazurki was a professional wrestler, Errol Flynn was a pearl fisherman, and Lana Turner was discovered at a Hollywood soda fountain. Any of these might have been you. Maybe you won’t have to come to Hollywood at all. Maybe motion pictures in their search for new personalities will come to yoa in your own home town. Or, perhaps, post-war television will bring the actors of the w’orld, the people, to everybody’s screen,

Aboard USS Alabama Aboard the USS Alabama in the Pacific, Bobbie G. Marbaugh, Seaman, second class, USNR, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Marbaugh, 1203 North Second St., Decatur, is serving aboard this battleship which in one month’s time raided the Japanese mainland twice, bombarded a Jap-held inland north of Okinawa and rode unscathed thru a violent typhoon. One of the raids against the Nip homeland was uneventful, but during the other operation the “Mighty A,” as the man-o’war is known to her crewmen, ran into a hornet’s nest of Jap suicide pilots. Scores of the Kamikaze planes’ were shot down outside the task force formation, but at least four came in close enough to be splashed by the guns of this and other ships. Alabama gunners claim credit for downing two of these planes and for assisting in destroying another.’ Sgt. Ed Wolpert has returned to the states from Schwinefurt, Germany, after 7 mouths service in the European theater, and is spending a 30-day furlough with his mother, Mrs. Veronica Wolpert. Sgt.

THIS IS HOW the United States, Britain, Russia and France are carving up Germany for occupation purposes. Portions will be divided roughly one to France and two parts each for the other three major Allies. Flags indicate portion each country will administer; however, French authority does not extend to the capital cities of four provinces which the French will occupy. These cities, Cologne, Darmstadt, Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, were included in British and American zones because they are important communications arteries in redeployment. Th ? American zone, bordering French area on east. Includes all or most of the provinces of Bavaria, W urttemberg, Hesse, Hesse-Nassau.
