Nilsson, making her return to films after recovering from the illness which cut short her starring career, has been signed by Warner Bros. for a role in “They Died With Their Boots On,” co-starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.

DR. GEORGE GALLUP, that peer of seers, has come up with some results of a nation-wide movie poll which knock many of Hollywood's cherished ideas into a cocked hat. Dr. Gallup garnered his facts in a poll commissioned by RKO's new president, George Schaefer. Most of these facts are being kept in Mr. Schaefer's top desk drawer but a few were released for public consumption and Hollywood's special cogitation. Among them: Hollywood likes to brag that 80,000,000 people attend movies weekly. The figure’s right but the verb is wrong. That many people stay away each week. Movie admissions average a little more than 54,000,000. These folk pay in some $700,000,000 annually, $300,000,000 less than | the radio workshop at I.

let them slip together ag you tote them where you want them. And never, never place the back of one tin against the face of the other. If they do get scratches then you cam prolong their usefulness for some time by waxing them with good, hard floor wax, or with your favorite waxing dope. When you use them, run water over the surface just before you put on the prints. If the tins get to looking seedy, wash them with the palm of your hand and some mild soap or very mild powder. Just one other thing. Before you ferrotype the prints, sponge off the face of each with a wad of wet cotton.

Bernard Early, who was Alvin York's sergeant, was found in Hamden, Conn,, waiting tables.

Received with suspicion, Guthrie finally was able to explain his mission to Mussi's sister-in-law, who was -called in from a neighboring flat fo serve as interpreter, The former hero was alarmed and indignant when he was offered $50. “It's something crooked!” he declared. “You get no money for nothing, any time.” The argument took three hours.
