. . . . AROUND HOLLYWOOD

United Press Correspondent
Hollywood, Feb. 15 (U.R)
Hollywood lost a million early
bird customers, Dancer Yvette
Dare declared
today, when it
cut down on
movie beauties
dunking their
curves in bub

clinks a lot of movie theater cash
registers are making these days.
Miss Dare is what you might
call an expert on bare should
ers and things. She makes her
living at Larry Potter's supper
club with her "fowl strip tease."
A parrot peels her down to the
limits prescribed by law.
It's a technique that'd work
wonders Jor battered box of
fices, too, to hear Miss Dare tell
it. All these covered-up heroines
are driving away the gents who
work nights.
The boys have time on their
hands in the mornings," Yvette
says. "They eo for the quick
fade-outs with screen sirens step
ping into showers or dropping
shoulder straps.
"Nowadays the girls keep too
many clothes on.
Patting Up Movies
"All the night watchmen, sales
men, restaurant workers, and
night-shift laborers are passing
up the movies for pool rooms,
penny arcades, and live girl
shows."
Miss Dare wants it understood
right here that she's not really a
strip-teaser herself. The way her
parrot flies off with her cos
tume veil by veil she says, is
'art."
And she thinks Hollywood
could get away with the same
thing with a little practice.
"Katherine Hepburn almost
did it in 'Adam's Rib'," she said.
"She wrapped herself in a towel
and then whirled around. I saw
the movie one morning and the
theater was packed with men.
Word Gets Around
Word gets around about a
thing like that, Yvette said. Why
is "Samson and Delilah" smash
ing records? Because of Hedy
Lamar-'s biblical scantics, she
said.
Yvette says the big day of all
will be the day Greta Garbo
does a little subtle peeling for
the camera.

Shale Deposits
Seen As Source
& Oil Supply
New York, Feb. 15 (U.R)
Shale deposits in three western
states may in time produce 500
billion gallons of oil as well as
profitable chemical by-products,
the nation's top mining and met
allurgical engineers were told
today.
The report came from J. B.
Mull, of the U. S. department
of interior, assigned to the bu
reau of mines oil-shale demon
stration plant. Rifle, "olo.

crude oil.
"Laboratory and pilot plant in
vestigations indicate a promis
ing possibility of production of
still higher quality fuels than is
possible with plant-scale equip
ment now available," he said.
The oil-shale deposits which
are found in the Green river
beds of Utah, Colorado, and
Wyoming are believed to date
back to the last ice age, but just
now are being tapped on an ex
perimental scale. The scientists
have not yet determined just
which method of distilling or
synthetic manufacture is the
most practical, but experiment

Mull said.
Interest Revived
In a 1,000 square-mile area,
Mull estimated that at least
494,000,000.000 gallons of oil
may be retrieved once the op
eration is full time and when
the oil is needed bv this country.
