«NOW, VOYAGER,” Bette Davis’ newest emotional vehicle, is for the ladies. I suspected that as soon as.I caught sight of the line of + .women outside the Indiana yesterday. There is something very female _ about it which women understand. Whatever it is, I didn’t get it. ' _ Miss Davis’ partner in this tale of nervous breakdowns, ocean voyages and noble résignation is Paul Henreid, a Vienese actor who

Henreid plays a New York architect very much in the continental -war manner made so devastatingly a feminine box-office attraction by Mr. Boyer. He even . talks like Boyer, even if he looks | - like Gabin. i Naturally, the accent puts him ! considerably off key as a strug- . gling achitect, but that is a minor * ‘point.

Shortages Hit Films

Hollywood Suffering From

War Needs.

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 12. — The shoe-shine parlors of North Holly-

wood have dwindled to one. Its ebony-browed proprietor displays a sign: “Shines by appointment, only.” And that is symptomatic of difficulties throughout Hollywood. Man-= power is dwindling at an ever-ac-celerating rate in the movie business and producers are finding it increasingly difficult to make pietures at the same old stand. One studio badly needs 40 electricians; they aren’t- available. Stars like Gail Patrick, Susan Hayward, John Carroll and others are bringing their lunch pails to work at Republic studios, where the nearby restaurants are closed. They shut down, not because business wasn’t rushing, but because they cquldn’t hire cooks to take care of it. The picture, “Private Miss Jones,” cannot begin shooting on schedule at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer because of a shortage of technicolor cameras. The worst shortage of all, that of movie ‘stars who refused to work for nothing under federal tax decrees, seems to have been postponed a few weeks by the treasury department. When the treasury ruled that no American "could keep more than $25,000 per year after paying his taxes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (U.

The "September rate, figured on an annual basis, was 22.9 births per 1000 popuiation, the highest rafio of any month since February, 1924. The birth rate has been rising steadily since 1934 after a low period during 1933 caused by the depression, the bureau said.
