A Note on StardOm

that seem most important to me.
There are others. of course.
IF star is sincere. she feels that
the burden Of making picture falls on
her shoulders, whether true or not.
She feels responsibility, not only to
herself, but to the studio, the director
and other members Of the cast. She
must always be alert and eager to fill
the mental picture her fans have
created.
This is constant challenge. 1t is
worth meeting, because staying star
in this fascinating business of make
believe is its own reward. We can
grow, mentally and physically. only
when We give our best to attain perfec-
ton, always out of reach, but neces-
sary II we would progress"

busy. Anyway, Mr.. Webb made the
required appearances, behind black
glasses and Sport-shirt swathed, at
the Vendome for lunch; dinner jack
eted and butterhy-tied for evening at
the Trocadero; later on at Bali or the
Glover Club, or where fashion dictated,
but he didn't rate the attention he
received at El Morocco or the old
Embassy, and word got around that
he was the only person in Beverley
Hills who knew how to use a fish
fork. This may have been a gross
libel, but 1t did the trick, and a state
of universal malicious anticipation was
satisfied when it was recounted at the
better bars that Mr. Webb had had
a checker at the door with a guest
list when he had invited six persons
in for dinner.
Mutually and reciprocally, Hollywood
and Mr.. Webb decided each was not
the others dish. Since April of last
year, when he arrived at the M-G-M
Studios, no foot of film had been
ground to record either the Webb face
or the fastidious handling Of the Webb
fish fork, and folk around Sardi's
were beginning to say, Whatever has
become Of Clifton Webb-you remem-
Der him, don't you?" They are likely,
however, to recall him perfectly when
he revisits Jongacre Square. because,
while lounging around Malibu Beach
and twiddling his manicured thumbs,
Mr.. Webb has been continuously on
the M-G-M pay roll at more or less
fabulous stipend. Like the lilies of the

| Of which is likely long to survive this
chronicling of their twin and dolorous
debuts.
Just why some one named Jeron
Criswell should have taken 1t upon
himself to make a play out Of Oscar
Wlde'S novel, THE Portrait Of Dorian
Gray" was not apparent at the Comedy
/ Theater Tuesday night. AS any num-
Der of persons remarked at the inter-
mission, Mr.. Wilde was a not in
competent playwright himself, and If
he had felt that the Dorian Gray theme
lent itself to dramatic treatment It is
not too much to suppose that hSmight
have cast the story in this form with
out Mr.. CrisWell's gratuitous assistance.
| The script of Mr.. CriSWell's alleged
drama would have made dismal read
ing, consisting as it did of a rosary
of familiar and not too wicked
| epigrams strung on a sleazy story. AS
one reviewer remarked, they could be
heard coming from long way of.
But the cast assembled for this
precious nonparen at least had the
merit of furnishing forth brief moments
of farce which might well be trans
planted to Minsky's across the street
for interludes between strip-tease
numbers.

as the main event. Villegas has
defeated Gene Boatwright and gave
Benzor a tough battle a couple of

couple of close decisions TO Don

tough opponent in Billy Wells in

will indubitably give Ortiz an even
better battle than did Chief Lopez.

BERLIN, July 30. UP - Unless
Jack Torrance, the slumberIng,
numbering policeman from Loulsi-
ana, throws off an attack Of acute
laziness. which he caught on the
boat from the United States. Head
Coach Lawson Robertson Of the
American Olympic team plans to
engage the head elephant trainer
of the Tiergarten zoo as assistant
coach.
1T is a desperate measure, this
hiring an elephant trainer Rob
ertson said. but this surely is a
desperate case. Elephants aren't
supposed 10 forget anything, and
Torrance certainly has forgotten TO
putt the shot. All he can remember
is German enough to ask the dining
room waiter for lots more Of every
thing and how to sleep Il hours a
day without batting an eye"
II is not at all certain, how
ever, that the zoo trainer will be
available. For if ne, with his
elephant hooks and whips, should
succeed in rousing the Bayou
BehemOth to fighting pitch, the
Germans chances of winning the
shot would be greatly minimized.
With Torrance burdened down by
extra helpings of everything on
the menI, including water, fse
can't toss the cannon ball within
five feet of his world record, and
Germany's Hans Woelke seems
like a lead pipe cinch
If Hans does win the event, it
will give Germany its first gold
medal in history, and Germans are
all set to greet it with 10000 Hell
HitlersY and a hot cha cha. So
you see If the trainer from the
700 illustrates Woelke by bringing
Torrance TO top form at which
point he is unbeatable-the Nazis
probably would take the shackles
off the elephants and put them on
