Milton Berle was a very fun-
ny fellow in his previous pic-
tuies, but in 20th Century-Fox’s
“Whispering Ghosts” which will
a-w today and tomorrow at the
Martin Theatre, he's twice as
funny. Probably because it's his
first starring picture.
A “scare-ewy,” spine-chilling
comedy with a ghost ship back-
ground, the movie offers a grand'
opportunity for Berle to tihcw
his stuff. And he has plenty on
the ball!
Abetted by lovely Brenda
Joyce. John Shelton, John Car-
rsd'.ne ard Willie Best, Berle
plays the rcle of a radio detec-
tive who solves a crime on the
air each week. He gets involved
in a mystery ship which Bren-
da’s grand-uncle once owned,
and Milton puts on hia shooting
cap and takes his magnifying
glass to solve the disappearance
of the jewels.
The solution of the crime makes
fcr hilarious entertainment, as
Milton tries his best to thwart
the villains. Gag-filled, the film
plots its merry way through
seme of the most laugh-provok-
ing episodes of the season.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM
I’ve been receiving letters lately from mothers telling me about
some of my cake recipes which they have used in baking cakes for
their sons in the service. One Angel Food cake covered with a thin
white icing went all the way to Puerto Rico where it graced an officer’s
dinner table. The letter said it arrived in beautiful condition and made
a real occasion of the meal. The empty box was sent back to the
mother as a gentle hint that another cake would be acceptable.
A Gold Cake with a white lemon-flavored icing went from Long
Island to a camp on the west coast It was the favorite cake of this
son—who did the honors on his birthday with his mother’s cake 3,000
miles away from home. Of course, these cakes had been carefully
packed in metal boxes for mailing. Here are a few suggestions that
will help insure a cake’s safe arrival at camp in tip-top condition.
To Pack Cakes Successfully for Mailing ,
Use a heavy carton or packing box, just a little larger than the
cake. For cakes going a long distance, use a metal box to prevent dry-
ing out. Have plenty of waxed paper. Place the cake on a piece of
cardboard cut to fit the bottom of the cake (or on a paper plate) to
facilitate handling. A bit of icing on the bottom of the cake will pre-
vent its slipping and will help to hold the cardboard in place more
securely. Wrap eake well in heavy waxed paper (or colored cellophane
for a festive touch). Place crushed tissue paper in bottom of box, then
plaee cake in center of box. Fill in space between cake and sides of box
with crushed tissue paper*. Place additional crushed paper over cake so
top of box will fit on tightly. Wrap tightly with heavy paper and cord.
AdA-ess plainly. Be sure to use the correct amount of postage. And
mark the box “PERISHABLE”. i
'Unsalted pop corn may be used as a “filler” around the cake
(instead of the crushed tissue paper) and will provide an additional
treat.
If I* Doubt, Send Chocolate
Of course, if he has a favorite cake, that is the cake you’ll make
for hint. But if you aren’t sure just what is his favorite, a chocolate
cake is a safe choice. Boys and men like chocolate cake. And here's the
recipe for a delicious devil’s food with a creamy chocolate butter icing
that keeps well.
Use All Sugar For This Cake
But first let me urge you to make this cake with sugar—no matter
how you may be using sugar substitutes for other things, manage to
save the required real sugar for this cake and icing. The sugar icings
best—and the cakes made with sugar are on the whole bettor-
tasting.

A handsome young ice-
Ht man, Jack Frost,
Said—“War is a terrible
cost,
And yet it’s far littler
Than bowing to Hitler
And letting our Freedom
be lost!”
Contrariwise it Is more than
doubled, that Fuehrer. Hitler, la de-
sirous of the establishment of a
west front against him on the
European continent, at least until
he has the Soviet folk effectively
disposed of. Assuming that sup-
position’s correctness, it is under-
standable why he prefers to avoid
hurrying up a new front, prema-
turely for his own purposes.
Goebbels “Dares” Us
The continental eastern front
having been suggested in spite of
him, Nazi Propagandist Joseph
Goebbels, his publicity director,
did, indeed, put out a recent invita-
tion to the United Nations to come
ahead and try it, asserting thsst
the Axis countries were loaded for
bear against just such an emer-
gency and would welcome it, for
the fun of slaughtering the invad
ers wholesale.
That unquestionably wasn’t in-
tended as genuine encouragement,
though. All experts agree that it
was a bluff, with an Axis view to
scaring the threatened invasion off,
if it could be managed. ,
The dope is this:
A European continental invasion,
from Britain and America, would
be right down Hitler’s alley, were
he confident of his ability to de-
molish it in short order, as Goeb-
bels said he could.
It would be so for the obvious
reason that, the invasion having
been attempted and fizzled, Russia
naturally would fold up and quit
: without further argument, a Ger-
man-controlled Europe would flat*
ten out permanently, Italy would
not amount to anything, Japan
could be attended to later, China
; would go flooey, the Western hem-
isphere would be licked and Adolf
would be left sitting on top of the
heap indisputably.
Statesmanship, militarists, psy-
chologists and all others are puz-
zled by Hitler.
Hitler the Enigma
Originally Hitler didn't appear
to signify a nickel’s worth. Julius
Caesar, Napoleon and the rest of
their ilk were of some caliber ini-
tially. Adolf didn’t have any "be-
ginnings." He hadn’t any ancestry
or any education or anything ap-
pealing. He Isn't personally lik-
able, according even to German ac-
counts. For ‘hat matter, he isn’t
even a German, but an Austrian,
and his real name isn't Hitler.
When Hitler broke into the situ-
ation he wps a mere nubbin in
comparison with Duce Mussolini.
Now Mussolini scarcely rates the
job of Hitler’s office boy.
Hitler is a record-breaking hu-
man curiosity.
It's in international politics and
warfare and history that he fig-
ures today, but in subsequent cen-
turies, he ought to keep students
puzzling over him.
Hitler can be squelched in our
time but that won’t extinguish him
as a world's wonder on into the
ages. It’ll be as a Mephistopheles,
centainly, but Mephistopheles was
prominent
That west front’s a guess for
militarists. They know best.
It looks interesting to bystand-
ers, though.
Guessing is that the Axis isn’t
:.s strong in the west as it pro-
fesses to be.
The United Nations' Pacific
front (against the Japs) is another
matter of guesswork. That’s prin-
cipally the United States and Aus-
tralia’s and the Dutch East Indies’
job. •
