once introduced to;
invented mini ature golf, it was’ almost inevitable that we would: meet the guy who made swooning fashionable. His name is Frank Sinatra George Evans and he’s swoon singer Frank Sinatra’s press agent. No, he doesn’t wear bobby socks or carry smelling salts or have a dreamy look in his eyes. He wears glasses, looks like a college professor, has been a New York press agent for 17 years and is modest. Yes, modest. We looked up press agent Evans today because we wanted him to confess. And he did. About a lot of things. ‘Organization Did It’ But, first of all, Evans wanted us to get this straight. He’s a Frank Sinatra fan, too. He says he would be a Sinatra fan even if he wasn’t collecting a nice three-figure check with Sinatra’s signature on it every week. He believes in the kid. Thinks he’s great personally and a great singer, + Now how did it all get started? How did a guy named Frank Sinatra become a national figure, turn swooning and moaning and crying among high school girlies into a craze, get invited to sing on the almost sacred stage of the Hollywood Bowl and collect 25 grand to sing four songs in one picture, RKO’s

“and nothing much happened except that a 17-year-old girl sitting near me started to moan and cry. Very softly. I asked her what was wrong: She said she couldn’t help it, but every time she listened to Sinatra’s singing she just had to moan and cry. ‘I'm not crazy, either,’ she said.” The girl gave the press agent an idea. “Cry louder,” he told her. The girl did. “Louder,” encouraged the p. a., realizing he had something. The girl responded and people stared at her. : “First thing you know,” said Evans, “three or four other girls in the audience were crying and moaning, trying to attract attention away from the first girl to them-

Fight In Aleutians. By DAN GORDON
An unheralded war picture opened at the Lyric yesterday, and it proved to be one of the best yet to come out of world war II. “Report from the Aleutians,” filmed entirely in technicolor, is an excellent photographic job on the U. S. campaign against the Japs in the far northern islands. The stars are the men of the armed forces. “Produced for the war department by the army signal corps, the film shows graphically how the U, 8. army established a gigantic air base on the barren Aleutian isle of Adak, an operation projected to make the recapture of Jap-held Kiska possible, Highlight of the picture is a bombing raid on Kiska. Here we are shown how the men lived, how they ate, slept, spent their leisure moments, prayed, fought and died. Without any dramatics or posed shots, the picture is a fine exposition of a vital operation in the struggle against the Jap-
anese, and proves once again that
truth is more interesting — and stranger—than fiction. ” 8 » * “Captive Wild Woman,” billed as the Lyric’s main feature, is another one of those chiller dramas to add to your list. Using the FrankenJekyll and Mr. Hyde theme, the film is a story about a mad doctor (John Carradine), who transforms an orang-utang into a comely girl (Acquanetta) by a fantastic surgical operation. The transformation, however, is not complete and the wild woman again becomes an animal after a series of killings in which the doctor himself is murdered by the girl he has created. Woven into the plot are some circus scenes, in which the wild woman appears to tame the lions and tigers.- It seems that her power over them from her former animal self has not disappeared. Most of these lion-tiger sequences are rather well done. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this picture is that Acquanetta, the featured player, does not have one line to speak. This must

Les Brown and his orchestra, featuring Roberta Lee as vocalist, head the stage show opening at the Circle tomorrow. The show's added attractions will be Johnny Burke, the comic, and the dance
