The public, who are growing so impatient with the endless trail of war pictures, should know how the studios are stuck with even more of them because, it is said, our Government wants them. And, wonders Hollywood, could there be a softening up of Nazi character on the screen due to the fact they expect beaten Naziland to proffer early peace measures and they want we shouldn't be so mad as we once were? Some people are crazy enough to think so. The steady stream of publicity men and workers from every department of every studio is leaving the town facing a famine of news and famine of newsmakers and news-givers.

But oddly enough the worst "whipping post" punishment of the month was inflicted by certain film stars upon their own fellow actors. Hollywood has never seen or heard anything like it. The Actors Guild meeting was crowd ed with practically every performer in town when President James Cagney took the stand and explained the meeting had been called to chasten the members among them who had failed to respond to the Victory Committee's pleas to entertain our boys. Fur, mostly mink, flew in every direction. Then Kay Kyser took the platform. "You," he stormed, pointing to several big name glamour girls, "with your mink coats and fine cars. Who bought those for you but the very boys out there who are dying for some kind of entertainment? You," he pointed again, "who refused to go on camp tours because you didn't like your spot on the bill. And you, who sulked and stayed home because you couldn't take your own hairdresser. And you who gave as an excuse the fact you didn't like the publicity man who was going!" All about were the wide smiles of
