Hollywood at War

>West Coast theaters controlled by 20th Century-Fox have discontinued Dish Nite. Reason: Why waste dishes when war workers rush to eat out of your hand?

> The Hollywood Reporter recently announced: "Andy Lawlor is being 'congratulated' on his heart trouble, is in line for an important studio job." In the same issue appeared an advertisement for an actor named Lance Martel, with the caption: "Lance Martel; Exempt--Experienced--Expert; $200 a week till Hitler's beat."

> Daily Variety announced that the invasion of North Africa was "invaluably aided" by all the pre-war North African footage of the studios. The Reporter bannered the real credits: FILMS HEART OF FIGHTING FORCES. It backed up this cock-a-doodle-doo with a two-column deck:

EISENHOWER AND GENERALS IN GREATEST

PRAISE FOR HOLLYWOOD'S PICTURES,
