Down in a certain southern town
the prize loafer of the community
went away on a trip and returned
with a brand-new wife.
“Well, Ezra,” remarked the
mayor, on meeting the new bride-
groom, “so you’ve gone and got
married.” Assuming a forlorn air,
fie added: “And here I am, a lone-
ly bachelor. It seems no one will
h&ve me.”
>-»/“Think I can help you get

“Really!” cried the mayor.
Ezra glanced around cautiously,
then whispered, “Do what I did.
Mayor. Go where you ain’t
known.”

Denmark’! "Viking Girl,” who’s
signed a long-term contract with
Ball Wallis prodnetisna, has tha
leading feminine role In “The Beg-
gars Are Coming to Town.” She and
her family were among the last to
leave Denmark before the German
occupation.
Jane Witheri got her start in fllma
in a Shirley Temple picture,
“Bright Eyei." Now that they're
both grown-up, Jane aaya .he’d like
to make another picture with Shir-
ley. She prove, what a real actre.i
.he is as a reporter in "Danger
Street.”

unlika any you ever saw before,”
ha aays, "and when first you see | younger men, popular men
and unpopular men, no man
sees Winifred at all. Her wom-
en friends tell them about
her; *Tve asked Winifred
Martin for you. She’s a dar-
ling. You’ll love her.” But
they never find her a darling,
and they never love her.
On the other hand, there are
women like Adele. Adele has been
a completely worthless character
all during the 20 year* sines aha
was 18. Sha haa married three
times; she is treating her present
husband just as she did the two pre-
vious ones, and thii marriage will
end In divorce as the earlier ones
did.
Adele is not especially pretty, nor
has she wealth. But she has some-
thing that render* the average male
helpless in her talons. She is as cold
as a female cobra Inside, she is as
■elfish as a woman can be, she is
Intellectually a complete Ion. But
no matter, she has a way with men,
and at 70 she will still be charming
them Into thinking her the most de-
sirable little armful of cuteness in
the world.
The impression she makes is one
of friendliness, happiness and easi-
ness. If unmarried women, going
lonely and wistful into their 30s,
could grasp the value of these three
qualities, there would be no more
unwilling spinsters. I don't mean
that Adele is really friendly or
happy; she merely gives that im-
pression.
‘You’re Wonderful!’
If it is a picnic, Adele slips a
confiding warm little hand into the
nearest male hand and says,
"Hang onto me, I’m a perfect little
fool about hills — or woods — or
beaches,” as the case may be. If it
is a dance she surrenders her whole
fragrant little body into the arms of
her partner, presently to say,
“You’re wonderful!”
If it’s a beach fire, with frank-
furters and barbershop chords,
Adele leans against the man near-
est her. She slips her hand into his.
She sends him by firelight a glitter-
ing look of affection and challenge.
Sometimes it doesn't work. But 9
times out of 10 it does.
What Adele knows by Instinct, of
course, for she has no brains, is
that a man Is as shy, as a girl. He
wants to be on easy terms with the
girl with whom he is paired olT;
he wants other men to think he has
a terrific way of getting on with
them; he wants other less occu-
pied. couples to look over his way
and wonder how he and that little
brunette have found so much to
laugh and chatter about.
William Wyler can't see why the
doctor said it was just "a common
cold” that laid him up during the
filming of Goidwyn’s "The Best
Years of Our Lives.” He figure*
that the cost of halting production
for a day costs exactly $5,326.13. Of
course, that Included the salaries
of stars, extras and technicians. As

PLAYING HER PART
“Mott toys art not imarl mouth to keep a conversation going, that it tha
tirl's job. and ha resents it il tha tails down on it"
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
HY men want to mar-
ry certain women and
don’t want to marry
others, is a mystery no one
has ever been able to solve.
A woman can be everything
admirable; pretty, clever,
capable, pure and men will
pass her by. Older men,
Peter Lind Hayes, considered by
lot of people the best comedian
aow Bt large, reports to Hollywood
In the fall for his first picture role;
he’ll play a press agent in Nunnally
Johnson's "Mr. Peabody and tha
Mermaid." Radio row still is gap-
ing over the very sensible stipula-
tions he made when first radio of-
fers were dangled before him—$100
a week for himself, $3,000 for script
writers. He learned the importance
of writers after an unfortunate ex-
perience with the Beatrice Kay
show.
-*-
Tommy Dorsey, working in “Tha
Fabulous Doaseys,” (United Artisti
release) is prepared for anything.
'The way Hollywood does things, ”
■aid he, “I’m not sure they won't
ask my brother Jimmy to portray
me, and then ask me to play
Jimmy 1”
The “experta” on “It Pay* To
Be Ignorant” are frightfully disap-
pointed —not a single romance has
developed between contestants
who’ve met when appesring on the
program. More than a hundred
couples have been introduced to
each other; Friday after Friday, a
young man and a young woman
have been selected from the audi-
ence and brought to the stage. But
rom Howard still has hopes.
Some women are popular
with men, while others who
may be prettier and more in-
telligent, are not. Miss Norris
explains that women who gain
and hold men's interest know
a few little tricks, and use
them. She tells about a wom-
an in her thirties who, al-
though neither beautiful nor
wealthy, is always able tr at-
tract the attentions of almost
any man she wishes.
Her little technique is to be
always feminine, always help-
leu and dependent. She lets
the man she is with help her
over rough spots in ths road,
or show her how to swim bet-
ter; anything to make him
feel superior and capable.
Her conversation is not bril-
liant, but sha keeps it going,
and she puts in a good bit of
flattery for her nude compan-
ion. Sha gives the impression
that she is friendly and happy.
Too many girls, says Miu
Norris, are shy and awkward
because they are really egotis-
tical. They expect the man to
play to them, to flatter them,
to carry the burden of conver-
sation. Many men are unable
to do this. They expect the
girl to keep the talk flowing,
to maintain the easy, pleasant
relationship of close friends.
IPhen a girl finally realizes
that she must play her part,
and a bit more in the game,
she is past her youth, with all
its natural charm. She must
then try doubly hard to be in-
teresting.
(Reverting the situation, a Sunday
night radio listener hut John J. An-
thony, “U'hat's Your Problem Man,"
on the stand).
Q. Now, Mr. Anthony, what's your
complaint?
A. I have no complaint. You're j
mixed up.
Q. Come, come, Mr. Anthony, !
there must be times when organ
music and poetry let you down a
bit.
A. Never. Give me a poem, an
organ and other people's troubles l
and I'm as happy as a lark.
Q. Mr. Anthony, there MUST be
something bothering you like every-
body else. Are you happy at home?
A. Certainly.
Q. Well, go on in your own way
and tell the radio audience why.
A. On my program we only tell
why people are NOT happy at
home.
Q. Why stay in a rut? Out with
it, when did your happiness begin? ,
In what quarrel did you first notice
it? *
A. I tell you, there was no quar-
rel.
Q. No fights, no quarrels, no dis-
sentions?
A. None.
Q. You mean to tell the judges
who have kindly come here tonight !
to get e little free publicity that noth-
ing has ever happened In your home
that the radio audience should know '
about?
A. I do.
A Judge: That’s the old familiar
pattern by which so many mar-
riages go on the rockj, my boy. '

one else wants. Adele got the Fer-
guson boy and Marian got that Yale
boy. Ha. And I'm supposed to
entertain this big clumsy thing with
the glasses. Ha. I should worry to
find something that interests him!
If they want to pair me off with the
one they don't like, I’ll simply sit
here. I have more braina in my
little finger than he has in his whole
body, and if he won't talk, neither
will I."
This sort of thing at 17 leads to
a lonely 37. A smarter girl would
take on the discarded boy with all
her power of charm. She would
get him talking, ask him to come
and hava supper some night. He
may be the big surgeon of 1960; he
may be the engineer who il going
to take his wlfa some day to the
most fascinating places of the whole
world.
The Adelea of this world may be
callous, cold-blooded, empty-headed
little flirts. But they give. The
quiet, respectable, admirable girl
too often expects only to take. She
will not stoop to a little harmless
flattery. Why should she? Men are
quite conceited enough! Sha will not
try to Interest the quiet, clumsy.
| Q. Let's make out you are an-
other case, Mr. Anthony. Say, Case

Q. And, furthermore, when did
this woman desert you?
A. What woman?
Q. Please go on and tell us all
about it in your own way from that
point.
A. What point?
Q. The point where you told your
father you wanted to play the ba-
zooka like other kids and he ordered
you out of the house with the baby.
A. You’re all mixed up.
Q. Now, Mr. Anthony, remember
what you said at my office. You
said you were willing to take the
four cross-eyed sisters in to live
with you if the soldier would give
them a name and wear shoes at
the dinner table. Pull yourself to-
gether and speak distinctly
the mike.
A. Could I read a poem to touch
the heart now?
Q. All the hearts in tonight's au-
dience have been already touched.
Dr. Spotlight, what do you think of
this case?
Judge Spotlight (coming out of a
trance): I see no problem here at
ill. This man should live with the
three deaf aunts until their grand-
father finishes his college course. It
will be time enough after that to
see about formal adoption. Further-
more, I think the boy who wants
to come home from the penitentiary
and beat his mother is wrong.
There is something to be said for
the mother’s stand that she wants
no part in the beating unless as-
sured the fight is broadcast.
