This rule is enforced by the in- |ater, and yet another change if you y want to “go places” following the performance, add up to the grand total. Stage Costumes Expensive Stage cosutmes, Miss Burke also reveals, cost twice what vou would pay for similar street clothes--she's not talking about chorus-girl costumes now. The extra cost is for material necessary for strenuous wear. A stage costume usually is guaranteed for 20 weeks of severe

In consequence it's much easier to get Marlene Dietrich’s legs on the screen | a bit of risque dialog for a com- | edian, than it is to show the Stars] and Stripes through any patriotic | representation. These days the cavalry can’t even carry a flag when it gallops to the relief of | beleagured stockade. The trouble is, of course, that our! colors are not pleasantly inspiring | to movie fans of other countries. | Sight of them in Italy, Germany, Japan or almost anywhere will set the customers to booing, and maybe | to rioting.

American Villains Liked What

foreigners do like to see, though, are American villains. If a heavy even looks Teutonic he'll be protested by Germany. Mussolini is enraged by Hollywood's comedv Italians because he's afraid the world will get the idea that all his countrvmen are heavily mustached. wildly gesticulating hucksters and | barbers. As for newly-rich barbari- | ans and uncouth, boorish people in general—they're practically always Americans. | The movie industry has found that there's only one country which even approaches America for good sportsmanship in all such matters of screen ridicule. That's France. The French just laugh it off ‘when they're satirized in celluloid. |

The | voungster produced not one but a whole sheaf of blank cards and begged her to sign all of them.

Illusion Breakers

Tricks of the trade: Instead of! wearing bodies and fenders of ar-mor-plate steel such as you've often wished vor own car had, autos in the movies frequently are covered | with the thinnest tin and have fenders made of soft lead.

Hair-Raising {| Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 11.— One crop of hair Is causing 20th Centurv-Fox executives more worry than a half dozen stars, The hair belongs to George Sanders, adventurous spy hero of “Lancer Spy,” and for four months it has kept the young English actor on the unavailable list, Sanders’ hair was cut short in Prussian military style for the “Lancer Spy” picture, and no one doubted that it would grow within four to six weeks back to normal. Although four months have passed since the picture was finished, the hair of the movie hero has grown only an inch and & half. Anxious to follow up Sanders’ triumph in “Lancer Spy,” and star him in a picture where he would appear as himself, 20th Century-Fox is debating now whether to keep him on the unavailable list on the home lot for several weeks more or loan him to another studio where he is wanted for a costume play and could wear a wig.

NEW 1938 STUDEBARER

We say a 10-mile drive will prove that this amazing Studebaker rides as smoothly as a canoe on calm water . . . steers as easily as a bicycle . . . leaves other cars sitting on their haunches at the “go’’ lights . . . stops as straight as a yardstick!

AKE it from us, there isn’t a chance in a thousand that any other 1938 car can do the things this marvelous new Studebaker will

do on a 10-mile trial drive.

In fact if you accept our bid and go for that 10-mile test run, you'll do more selling of Studebaker performance, Studebaker handling ease, steadiness and responsiveness than we could give you in a month of Sundays. You'll prove to yourself in that single 10mile drive, that here is the only sound way to buy a car. And we know that you'll want to

GAS AND OIL COST VERY LITTLE in the powerful 1938 Studebaker. Its economy would be a credit toa much smaller, lighter car. You probably won’t use half a gallon on your 10-mile trip and its built-in Fram oil cleaner assures you remarkable oil economy mile after mile.

drive this great Studebaker at least 10,000 miles the first year—to say nothing of future years—because we know that no other car can

begin to give you the thrills and enjoyment
