For a Closeup.

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, April 23.—Mouse trouble slowed down the cameras at the movie factory of the brothers Cagney, where William functions as producer and James as star. To blame for the mouse was Louis Bromfield, who included it in his book, “McLeod’s Folly.”- Bromfield never thought about the tribulations of the producers in producing a photogenic mouse; else he’d have left the rodent out of his novel. “An old lady runs a newspaper,” explained James Cagney. “She's Grace George. The time is 1906 and she’s about to lose her paper. So this itinerant reporter—that’s me and a kind of a bum—I drop in and help her out.” :

Wants a Rat

Miss George has an old editor, name of George Cleveland, who keeps a pet mouse in his desk to chew up his notes and while away his spare time. Miss George hates mice. * The Cagney brothers ordered up some mice six weeks ago, to train as desk dwellers, but their cameramen said a mouse was no good. for the movies. Too little, he said. He recommended a rat. He said anybody ‘could see a rat on the screen. The brothers bought a fine black rat, with white spots. They kept it in their production office. Their secretaries named it Pancho.

Not Photogenic

The boys made screen tests of Pancho, but the laboratory workers shuddered. Pancho had a long, pink tail,” which the experts said looked obnoxious on the screen. Director Howard arranged to photograph Pancho head on, so the tail wouldn’t show. Ten o'clock today was the time for Pancho’s movie debut. Only Pancho wouldn't come out of his desk drawer. The demon prop man, Kenny Walton, came to the rescue. He'd feared some such mouse trouble and he'd made a “deal with Curly Twiford, the movie animal man, for the purchase of a ramouse, which is half rat and half mouse. “1 took this beast home with me,” said Walton. “And over protests. My wife said my work didn’t call for me running a boarding house for mice. I ignored her. I petted and pampered my half-mouse-half-rat and I taught it to scamper around the desk on cue. When that Pancho blew up, I just ran in my own mouse. It came out of the desk drawer, sat upon its hind feet and washed its face. It was so good they gave it a close-up.” Walton neglected to add that he'd put a drop of syrup on the end of his’ mouse’s nose to get ‘the face~ washing act.

MINE CANTEENS GET

EXTRA MEAT SUPPLY

PITTSBURGH, April 23 (U. P.). —Because miners complain that food rationing doesn’t allow enough meat for them, the Pittsburgh Coal Co. revealed today it will open mine “canteens” to serve meat sandwiches to the miners. The office of price administration said a supplemental supply of lunch meats has been authorized upon application of Pittsburgh Coal Co. through its subsidiary, Federal Supply Co., to permit operation of the canteens near mine entrances. Sandwiches, to be served by girls, will be sold at cost.

MISSING AGAIN

Former Grave of 99 Men Is Now Overdue and Believed Lost.

Cc yright, 18 1943, a The Indianapolis Times dl Chicago Daily News, Inc.

OO April 23.—The British submarine Thetis, restored to the royal navy after lying for five months on the bottom of Liverpool bay as the grave of 99 men, in 1939,

has come to the end of her glorious wartime career. © Recommissioned under the resounding name of Thunderbolt, the unlucky Thetis became one of the luckiest subs in Britain's naval history. She came back from her watery solitude off Liverpool to - destroy two U-boats, five enemy supply ships and six enemy freighters, in addition to bomburding railroad trains and shore positions,

Reported Overdue

Now the admiralty admits that she is overdue and must be presumed lost. Just a week after the rescue of 33 men aboard the United States navy submarine Squalus, off Portsmouth, N. H., had stirred the world, the Thetis failed to emerge from a routine dive. Only four escaped,

using Davis “lungs,” an underwater |

breathing device similar to America’s Momsen lung.
