LUST THEATERS
WILL GATHER
YULE GIFTS

A member of The Washington
Times Christmas Cheer Club,
Sidney Lust, local theater man.
ager, informs us that his three
suburban theaters in nearby
Maryland are staging gift par.
ties the morning of December
% to collect toys for wards Of
the club in their vicinity.
The theaters are the Arcades
at Rockville and Hyattsville and
the Cameo at Mt. Rainier. Ad-
mission to the parties will be
one toy for each person.
At Mt. Rainier the toys will
be turned over to the Charles
H. Huntemann Post, American
Legion, for distribution at the
community Christmas tree.
The Social Service League OF
Montgomery county, of which
Miss Ruth Bolton is director, will
have charge of the distribution
Of the toys collected at the Rock
vile theater. In HyattSville the
toys will be turned over to the
Volunteer Fire Department.
Goodfellows are beginning to
Introduce themselves at The
Washington Times. Not many, so
far, but enough to reaSsure the
Goodfellow Editor who, at about
this time of the year annually,
begins to lose Sleep-worrying
over the letters pouring into the
office.
It is difficult to decide just
whose story to use in the daily
column. Published stories have a
definite appeal and there are so
many that must be excluded.
Space forbids publication of them
all. And the ones left out are
so frequently fully as heart
rending as those published.
For example there is ID. A."
IL years old, who writes for "some
thing for his little brothers"
There are six boys, all younger
than "R. A." in the family and,
as he writes, all of them know full
well that their daddy hasn't the
money to buy them Christmas.
It is obvious that no one die
tated "D. AS" letter. He wrote
every line of it himself, sick with
pity for the little brothers facing
so dreary a Christmas.
Then again there is little Anna
"" 2 years old. Her mother
brought her into the Office
ragged, cold, little hands pinched
with the wind and small face
wizened from undernourishment.
The mother asks a warm coat, one
good meal and maybe a toy or
two.
MRS. E. K" writes only a few
II hope someone will take
care of my two little boys:
James, 4, and George, 2. 1 can
do nothing MORE"
Those few lines are enough. The
last sentence tells the whole story
of dispair and encouragement. A
few dollars would give little James
and George that one happy day
their mother cannot provide. Less
than the price of one evenings en-.
tertainment would give little Anna
that warm coat and nourishing
meal.
For the little brothers of ID.
A." it would take little more.
But not more than many Wash
ington families could spare at this
holiday season to provide for those
to whom fate has proven so un.
generous.

1 are fired at these girls from all sides. Some have found that they get along better by saying mo" Others are typical ''yes" girls. And
 still others weaken simply because they get to the point where they l figure anything is better than | starving.
 The Extra Aristocracy | All of the extra girls are divided l into several classes, the upper divi- sion being known as dress ex- tras." In a sense they are the most fortunate, since they get $15 day I-when they work. But they must 1 maintain very elaborate wardrobes. Alice Adair is one of the dress extras. found her living in a tiny bungalow with her mother. Att
 tired in slacks and blue turtle neck sweater, she was in the kitch-
 en preparing dinner.
 "I'm far more fortunate than | most of the girls,' she declared.
 Recently, I've bene working about three days a week. But even so. a month, not enough to keep me going very long if I hit slump. But the time I keep up my ward robe, pay the rent. and make pay ments on the car there isn't much left.
 Car is A1l-Important Ut may sound like I'm doing ex- tremely we'll to be able to afford car. Then as rule it isn't much. But 1t gets them to the studio and back again. If it happens that they get calls from different stu dios for the same day, then the first girl who is called gets the car. And the others have to pass up their jobs unless they can find
 some other means of transporta-
 tion.
 q often have heard it said that
 we girls continue being extras be-
 cause the work is easy and we're
 lazy. That may be true in some
 cases, but not many. "The work itself isn't hard, that's true. But the grief we suf- fer more than makes up for that.
 We stick because we hope some
 day we'll get break"
 TOMORROW: How tine revising of the extra ranks is being con-
 ductcd and what 1t means to many
 of the girls-hcartbreaks for pthe
 unsuccessful, regular work for the chosen.

other in their efforts to pack a suit case. Muriel had just had call for two days work doing some un-. derwater swimming in the ocean at Monterey, about $50 miles up the coast. She knew the water would be cold as blazes. But the job paid $15 Ga day. And $30 wasn't to beturned down. even if she froze getting it. For the first $27.50 these girls take in every month goes to pay the rent.
 That's the first call either of us has had in more than a week, :" Helen remarked as the door closed behind her chum.
 Bottles for Beans
 "How in the world do you man. age to keep going?" I asked.
 "Oh, we do all sorts of things" :" she replied. Naturally, we have to wash and press all our own clothes. But there are tricks which make even that fairly easy. For instance, we always stick our handkerchiefs on the bathroom wall to dry. And they come off just as mooth as though ironed.
 Sometimes we have to do a lit- tie chiseling too, like asking for soda in preference to ginger ale when any of our boy friends offer to bring us over a drink. You see, we can get a quarter apiece when we take the soda bottles back and ginger ale bottles bring only a nickel, And we sometimes have to depend on those empty bottles to get money for food.
 Hast summer we went for two months without either of us work ing, and believe me, those two months were rough on our stom- achs. A good many days we stayed in bed until three o'clock in the afternoon. Then we got up, had some toast and tea and in couple of hours went back to bedf again. You don't get so hungry when you stay in bed.
 Yet They Stick
 "Just yesterday I was going over the list of everyone we both know to see from how many we might be able to borrow a few dollars. But since Muriel got her call We don't have to do that"
 About thatt ime Sparky, their four month old puppy, started bowling for his dinner. So Helen dished out a third of five cent can of dog food.
 What are you going to have for your dinner?" asked.
 "Oh, for tonight I have lamb chop and dish of gelatin" she ex- claimed proudly. And I have some mayonnaise I can put on the gelatin if I want"
 That, to her, was literally liv- ing on the fat of the land.
 And yet, she would rather live this way than to get out of the picture business into something which might pay her regular sal ary. So would every other extra girl in the business. There's some- thing about it that keeps the fires of hope burning eternally. To them each succeeding sunrise brings the possibility that they may be discovered" by some director and given a role which will carry them to fame.
 Waiting Waiting
 So they go along. spending most of thei rtime waiting and hop ing. Girls can't even go out and look for jobs in the movies as they could In all other businesses. All extras are engaged through Cen. tral Casting Bureau. And the only soliciting they can do is telephone the bureau. as some do dozens of times daily. to see if there Is Q job for them.
 Of course. some make contacts
