HOI LYWOOD STAR I MRS
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD .'Exclusive) —
’ Press previews uncover new
stars with a marked r gularity
ir. this glamour croated city. Na
ma ter ho sma 1 a part—if the
person has that “little mdcfin
| able something” which attracts
the attention of movie-goers his
future is assured.
James Stephenson is the latest
discov ry. His performance in
‘The L .tter” supporting Bette
Davis attracted the attention of
| critics and fans alike at the first
showing.
The press preview of “Escape”
with Norma Shearer and Robert
Taylor revealed a new screen
personality in the youth, Philip
Dorn, who played the Nazi storm
trooper doctor. Ann Gillis first at
, traded attention of producers
I and critics alike at the preview
j of “My Love Came Back.”
Joan Leslie pleased .everyone
with her part in the short sub
ject “Alice in Wonderland” she
was proclaimed a future star im
mediately following the premiere
showing. Mi dred Coles is an
oth r young lady to win first hon
ors—she was loaned to RKO by
Warners for a part in Play Girl.
The preview of that picture re
vealed her as another discovery
now Warners is giving her a
buildup and the lead in “Here
| Comes Happin ss.”
At the press preview of "The
Philadelphia Story" Ruth Hussey
final y hitched her wagon to a
star and you can take it from
your Hollywood correspondent—
she’s going places.
These new personalities have
been discovered at press pre
! views—but that is only the be
ginning — now they must make
good in other pictures.
Following her successful do
but in “Ninotchka” as a comed
ienne MGM has cast Greta Gar
bo and William Powell together
in a comedy scheduled to start
sometime after the first of the
year. It will be their first ap
p.arance together on the screen.
Joan Crawford fans will be de
lighted to know that their favo
urite goes to work in “A Woman’s
Face” sometime this month. It’ll
i be good to see her on the silver
screen again — she’s been away
• much toj .ong.
N.west Latin importation is
i Nina Orla whose future looks
; very bright. Universal is plan
i ning a terrific build-up for this
talented Latin-American girl.
N.na used to sing with Xavier
. Ligat the orchestra leader and he
i let the stud.os sign her to a long
term cor. ract—row he is trying
.a buy up h r movie contract—
ou. nothing doing say the studio.
I. r first picture was “A Night in
.he Tropics.”

Navy Program Brings
Boom To Bremerton
BREMERTON —Under the im
petus of the nation’s new d fense
program Br merton has most of
the qualities of a liveware, thriv
! ing western “boom town.”
The city fathers insist it’s no
mecca for the unemployed with
jobs available for only a skilled
few in particular trades. But
with 10,000 men at work at the
Navy Yard lots of money is being
sp. nt, the Navy’s discipline, horn
es and hotels so crowded that
“my home’s where I hang my
| hat” describes the housing sit
uation ■*- the city is busy and
booming.
j Uncle Sam is doing something,
too about the housing situation.
Unlike the short-lived “boom
towns” of the west and Alaska
of early days ther ’s a perman
ence in the city’s expansion caus
ed by the nation’s building a
“two-ocean navy.” Bremerton is
one of the major west coast bas
es and that navy should be in
the Pacific a long time to come.
In one step which means more
homes here bids were called re
cently on a 600-acre unit low
rent housing project on an 80
acre tract near Oyster Bay south
east of the Navy Yard. A Seattle
firm was low on a bid of $1,812,
300.
Meantime day and night the
machine-like clatter of riveting
guns and the noisy bedlam of con
struction rings through the yard.
The harbor, the waters across to
Port Orchard and the passage ac
ross-sound to Seattle are busy
with navy ships.
Aside from the major job tak
ing care of the nation’s fighting
ships with routine overhauls and
repairs after weeks or months at
sea is a major task and at one
time rec ntly 22 vesels were here
for such work.
Despite the cloak of navy sec
recy the announcements of con
tracts awarded and other sources
over past months discloses the
building program to be of two
kinds:
Ships — Two destroyers and
four seaplane tenders under con
struction (the destroyers were
launched May 16). Also on order
a submarine tender to cost ap
proximately $16,000,000 (one of
three such to be built on the west
coast) and six more destroyers,
at a cost of $42,000,000. Th,_ de
stroyers will be of the new 2,100
ton type.
Yard enlargement — One new!
graving dock, largest in the na
tion, just completed at a cost of
$4,300,000, second one-third fin
ished and a contract just award
ed for a $2.30<i.ouo concrete pier
to extend 1,400 feet out into the
stream, big enough to dock the
navy’s largest ships. Approximat
ely $1,500,000 allocated for fuel
oil storage depots. A shipfitiers’
as.-emb.y building and four build
ings at the Keyport torp do sta
tion in the initial construction
stages.
Envisioned too and possibly
not far distant are two other big
projects — development of the
Fort Ward naval radio station
into a high-powered station ( a
radio “school” is already being
operated there for navy m n)
and enlargement of the present
county airport into major-size
port for the navy's use.
Meantime with the number ofl
civilian workers at or over the
10.000 mark including WPA
work rs pay increases which1
wi 1 mean about $700,000 more a
year were approved by Secre-,
tary Knox the first of November. ■
Despite that the higher wages of i
private industry in Seattle are |
an inducement to workers there I
to remain at home rather than
make the daily ferry boat trip
here.
A year ago the Yard employed
only 5.500 and the 10-year aver-:
age to 1939 was 2,500.
As a proof of the need for!
skilled workers the maximum
age limits for ironwrkers was ex
tended from 48 to 55 and for ship
fitters and loftsmen from 55 to
62 years in midsummer.
The WPA too has had under1
w ay the past summer work for 1
extending and modernizing the;
city’s and the Navy Yard’s needs. |
With all of this the city's pop j
illation has been growing. From
a count of 10,170 in 1930 it jump
ed to 25,076 in 1940 and the
Chamber of Commerce is certain
many were uncounted even then.
King George (arrow) accompanied by the Lord M i.vor (wearing chain of office about neck) inspects
I damage caused by air riads during a visit to Southampton, English terminus of traas-At'antic pas
senger traffic in peace time and recent target of heavy German aerial assaults. This picture was
radioed to New York from London
