C. fa .v octal a it ft br s 0 it a I -jfg AND THEN TOMORROW When fades the last of sunset's light, Night draws her darkness curtain tight; And pins it with a shining slar, Which sheds its light both near and far. And way up in the heavens fair, A golden moon is shining there, And sending down its beams of love To all the earth from all above. The the dusk and hours between dawn, Pass by you like a lovely song. And while you rest, and dream and sleep, God's angels o'er you vigil keep. But after a while it's dark no more; Old Father Time holds wide the door, And suddenly the night is gone, While in the East there glows the dawn. Carol Dean Bessent June 23, 1942.

S, Treasury Department Blending humor and human in terest in unique fashion, Samuel Goldwyn's production of "Ball of Fire" co-stars Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck at the head of a noteworthy cast in tne years outstanding comedy-romance. In their most startling and effective characterizations in many a day, Cooper portrays a dignified young professor of English, and Miss Stanwyck a flippant n:ght club girl whom he encounters in the course of his research work. The roles afford both stars unusual op portunities, with the sparkling story leading them into hilarious plot complications. With seven other specialists in knowledge, Cooper has spent the last nine years compiling a new encyclopedia. Realizing he knows' practically nothing about modern slang, he sets out on a round of night life, meets the vivacious Miss Stanwyck and is fascinated by her mastery of the mysterious langu age. To avoid the police, who are looking for her because of the lethel activities of her gangster boy-friend, Miss Stanwyck takes ref uge in the old brownstone house where the eight professors work as a kind of literary assembly line, and soon finds herself in love with Cooper. Cooper also succumbs to this unfamiliar emotion, proposes to her and is accepted. But when the gangster decides to marry Miss Stanwyck so that, as his wife, she won't be able to testify against him, matters come to a crisis. In a whirlwind climax the girl and the professors outwit the public enemies and bring things to a satisfactory ending in one last hectic mixture of sus pense and hilarity. Seven noted character actors play the various professors. They are Oscar Homolka, Henry Trav els, S. Z. Sakall, Truly Marshall, Leonid Kinskey, Richard Hayd i and Aubrey Mather. Dana An drews portrays the gangster with Dun Ruryea and Ralph Pete: a cast as his aides, while Allen Jen kins portrays a garbage man and Kathleen Howard the professors' house-keeper.
