Where may I receive information on any special matter relating to my car which Is not covered In the above? A. Call the Police Office, Ext. 333, and you will be advised. THE PLASTER CRACKS By WANDA KAHNE The Studio Club is doing Its part to make certain that the boys formerly connected with this Studio will have their share of Christmas happiness whether they're on the "Shores of Tripoli" or "Deep in the Heart of Texas." At least the Staff Shop has received letters to this effect. The proverbial "birds of a feather flock together" sure hits a certain Model Maker here in the Staff Shop. On Sundays or holidays, you'll catch him surveying a certain Valley lot for future happiness. News of the promotion of ROBERT THOMPSON, to A.O.M.2/c of the U.S.N. was no surprise to his friends. Bob's next step will be that of a C.P.O. Corporal PHILLIP W. CAIN of the U.S.M.C. whi le here on a short furlough stopped In the Staff Shop to see the fellows. After a year of active service overseas, he was glad to be home. Everyone who listens anxiously to hear familiar names mentioned was glad to hear that of S/Sgt. A. C. NESBITT formerly of this department. LOU WITTE and TOM YOUNG do the honors tor U. S. Marines. U. S. Marine Band serenades T.C.F. employees in honor of the release of "Guadacanal Diary". CAFE SOCIETY NEWS By EDITH BILLMYER Fawcett Publications of New York sent an important writer, Charles Samuels, out here to do a series of features on Hollywood for Motion Picture Magazine, a Fawcett Publication. One of his assignments was to interview. In round-table fashion, a group of established stars on "What it takes to make a star." 20th Century-Fox was fortunate enough to be chosen as the scene of this event — Cafe de Paris, I mean. As you will see by the above pic, the stars Invited to participate In the discussion were MERLE OBERON, "The Lodger," DANA ANDREWS, "The Purple Heart," ANNE BAXTER, "Eve of St. Mark" and "The Sullivans," WILLIAM BENDIX, "Lifeboat" and "Greenwich Village," MICHAEL O'SHEA "Eve of St. Mark," and VINOENT PRIOE, "Eve of St. Mark" and "The Song of Bernadette." Various opinions were given as to what it Is that makes a star. Bendix thought It was luck, but O'Shea said it was being ready when a break came — definitely not luck. Setting an example for a lot of you fellows who have left to do a job for us and our country, DANNY G. Dl MEO, Sea l/c (R) (Oox), dropped In on us the other day while on a furlough looking very fit In his sailor blues. It was grand seeing him again. We wish more of you fellows would do likewise or drop us a line. After all, we are "just a bit" proud of you. Adding an air of glamour and somehow bringing the war much closer to us, Maj. Gen. Fegen, veteran of three major engagements, was our guest of honor at a luncheon hosted by COLONEL JOY and his very able assistant, MR. HUTSON. Our old friend Lt. BILL COUNOILMAN, JR., actor and writer, was also present. Too busy to listen In, but just know the Major General gave out with some hair-raising stories.
