Movies to Spark Bond Sale DEAR MR. LEWIS:

FOR YOUR INFORMATION—BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SEPTEMBER WAR BOND DRIVE—Sparkplug of the: bond sale which is to raise one billion dollars beginning Sept. 1 is the motion - picture industry. It means that the industry, through showmanship and merchandising efforts at which it is supposed to be adept, is to stimulate all bond selling. activities as the retailers did in July.

Remember, the billion-dollar gong has been rung only one month—January, following Pearl Harbor. July was the second largest month—$900,000,000. Since we deal as an industry in glamor .and emotional entertainment, it was logical that the motion picture campaign should turn to an emotional appeal:

“Buy a Bond to Honor Every -

Mother's Son in Service” will be the month’s slogan. The drive is called “Salute to Our Heroes.” There's a poster in the national campaign office in New York. It says: “This is a People’s War— 85,000,000 moviegoers are the people.” ” 8 8

5000 Theaters Qualify FEDERAL RESERVE banks are to qualify 5000 theaters, including many in Indianapolis, as bond issuing agents on the first. Acting as banks and post offices, the theaters will be able to sell bonds at night, on Sundays, on holidays. Carrying out the «Salute toOur Heroes” idea, every bondselling theater will issue to each bond buyer a postal card, reading: “Dear . . . I have just bought a war bond. I was thinking of you when I did it... . etc.” The ' govermment is supplying 2,000,000 cards. If each represents an average of a $50 sale, those cards will be worth a billion. In addition, war heroes rallies: are planned at theaters.

| Photographs of, local men in _ service will be displayed.

At 9 p. m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, in Indianapolis, the Midwest, the nation will stop dead, for four minutes. In every theateir there will be a brief, patriotic ceremony, a bond selling

Spectacular Stunts

SPECTACULAR STUNTS are planned. For instance: In Boston, Paul Revere’s ride will be reenacted. In New York, axis dic-

across the state, ending with a splash at Niagara Falls. Every foot of the way will represent a bond sale. Glamor part of the drive will be “Stars Over America” tours, covering 300 cities. All the topflight stars are going. Jimmy Cagney is one who is due in Indianapolis Sept. 24. Probably be others. No commercialism allowed. The stars won't go near a movie or retail establishment, but probably will visit defense plants. The 1000 film salesmen attached to producers’ exchanges in 31 key cities have volunteered to become bond salesmen. They've set a $10,000,000 quota for themselves. They’ll hit it. Let’s all hit it. We've got to. This is for your information, to give you an over-all view of the drive as the industry's war activities committee has mapped it. Yours truly, O. A. DOOB, CHAIRMAN.

Anne Neagle in Role of Amy |

Mollison.

United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 24.—One of the excellent movies now coming up concerns the beauteous Amy Johnson, the British aviatrix, who married a “drunkard” ‘name of Jim Mollison. We're not calling Mollison a drunk; the movie is. . That's the point of this dispatch. Here were Herbert Wilcox, the producer, and Anna Neagle, his blond star, gambling most of their money on a picture about real, live people. They made the film, they showed it to Mollison and they held

- |their breaths.

“All he said,” reported Mr. Wilcox, “after seeing himself portrayed

when he was married to Amy. He was so fine about i¥ that we felt embarrassed.” The picture is called “Wings and the Wi It chronicles the ca-

I never saw them more beautiful.” Robert Newton was the actor who played Mollison; the army lent Newton to the movies for two weeks and not a day longer. Then he went back to fighting. Eventually Wilcox and Miss Neagle brought prints of their film to America. They came’ on a Polish liner in convoy duty. Gunners Got Booed Miss Neagle was in the midst of singing “Alice Blue Gown” for the soldiers aboard when the depth charges began to boom and send quivers through the ship. “Very gallant, the soldiers were,” she said. “They booed the gunner and yelled for him to quit shooting until I had finished my song.” The producer, the star, and the film arrived safely. Thereupon Mr. Wilcox and Miss Neagle took a company of actors and musicians across Canada in the interest of raising funds for the training of youngsters of from 14 to 17 in aviation technique so that when they're old

air force theyll know what they're doing. The tour netted $250,000.

Actress Finally To Change Name

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 24 (U. P). —Alexis Smith, statuesque screen actress who defiled movieland tra

dition by refusing to allow motion picture executives to change her name, prepared today to change her name in real life. Announcement of her engage-. ment to actor cra Stevens, made by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Smith, at a party in their home, was followed by word that an early wedding was anticipated. Alexis’ new name won't be Stevens. Craig's real name is Gail Shikels Jr., son of a prominent Kansas City educator. He won't he seeing much of his flancee after next Thursday. He enters the army next Thursday and expects to be assigned to a camp far from Hollywood.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 24 (U. P.).~—

structor, Martin J. Arrouge, began today at her house by the sea a honeymoon they expect to be ended shortly by his induction into the army. Miss Shearer, one of the’ wealthjest women in the movie colony, and Arrouge, who taught her and her two children how to ski four years ago at Sun Valley, Idaho, were married late yesterday at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills. The Rev. Fr. John O'Donnell, who built his own church in Culver City from his wages as technical director in movies involving Catholic rituals, performed the ceremony. The wedding made the fashion writers gasp. "Miss Shearer, who can afford to wear any clothes she
