Within the last year she has made her most notable con tribution to the study of Irish his tory--"Thc Foundation of the Irish State.'

MOVIE ACTORS
 HAVE HARD WORK
Some Of It Makes Ditch
 Digging Easy

Hollywood, Cal, Jan. P P- Ditch digging, said Ernest Terrence, character actor of the films, is light relaxation when compared with the effort necessary to u successful DOT trayal of a part before the motion picture camera.
 He cited q set of trageous whiSkers, a mole on his nose, sixty pieces of jcwclry and a varied as- sortment of other odds and ends as proof.
 The whiskers braided down two sides and waving free amidships, Terrence declared, furnished one of his worst bugaboos in designing makeup for a role he had just com plcted.
 "I worked two months pcrfecting that beard. First l grew the ncccs- sary raw material. traine q it ono way, then another, tried more than a score of styles and creations, pho- tographcd it numbcrless times at different stages of development, and then found pattern in q set of old Persian prints"
 The mole was more trouble. He started with a make believe mole on his forehead. but 1t looked like any other blotCh when photographed. Finally he located one on his nose where 1t showed up in profile with all the desired effect.
 Jewclry. more than half hun dred pieces, rings, bracelets, beads, brooches, etc. all had to be made to order, tried on and altered Cos tunes without end were fitted and changed.
 In the filming of one scene Tor renee and many others had 10 swim q river several hundred feet wide with the thermometer 39 degrees above zero.
 Then while completing the role in one picture he had to study tho script of the next and plan almost every move before the camera.
