written a note to the noted pro-
ducer stating simply they had
come to Hollywood believing
Freddie was the one to play the
role of David. The note arrived
at the studio at a time when
the producer and the best minds
of M-G-M were frantically, even
desperately, searching for a
prospective young Copperfield.
Miss Bartholomew received a
hurried phone call to bring
Freddie to the studio. Mr.. Selz-
nick wanted to see the boy at
once. II am David Copperfield,"
said the slender, curly haired,
eager little fellow as he stood
before the great executive. 1t

hardy American boy that is losing his English
accent.
From the very first Freddie an apt pupil.
Lessons learned one day could be repeated letter

in child so young, but remarkable, and Miss
Bartholomew quick to recognize and cul-

Freddie made his debut at a social tea quite

to recite poem. He tiny that sis" had
to stand beside him to keep him from falling
from the chair where he had been placed so
that all could see. He rected his masterpiece

an immediate sensation and from every section

next morning at breakfast he reasserted
himself. He insisted again and again His
faith in his ability was so definite that it
could not long be ignored-he seemed to
perceive that above all the boys in the Eng
lsh speaking world, he was destined to create
the living character of David Copperfield.
Miss Bartholomew, catching a note of
the inevitable in his determination, packed
their things and went to London, but toe
late Mr.. Selznick had sailed for America
a few days before! Nothing would do, but
they must follow him to America-and if
they were wrong, Freddie would still have
the education the journey would afford.
They missed Mr.. Selznick by few hours

-Four more important self is the one your dreams reveal.
 For dreams spring from the un- conscious mind-and the uncon- scious speaks more truly than your surface self of the things that real- ly matter to you.
 Even your silly dreams have a message. You may dream you're half dressed on Main street at high noon. Waking, you say. How lu- dicrousl" But psychologists find this dream comes often to people who have inferiority feelings.
 or perhaps you dream dramatic ally that some one you know falls from cliff. That Is your uncon- scious finding an outlet for your secret envy of that person. You want her to fail somehow.
 To dream of walking Q muddy road hints you're about to do some- thing you know is wrong.
 Other dreams are as simple to read. In our 32.page booklet psychologist tells you how to inter- pret dreams and signs, tC solve the problems secretly undermining your happiness.

! WOMAN,S REALM
Glontying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA SerVlce Stan WtItcr Having decided definitely to eat only fruit, a hot beverage and one thin slice of toast for breakfast, and soup, salad and fruit for lunch each and every day, the woman who wants to lose weight can busy her- self figuring out dinner menus which are really appetizing but not too rich in caloric content. She can eat about what she likes for dinner, but the emphasis ought to be on veget- ables, salads, meats and appetizers such as radishes and celery rather than on dessert.
 Once the diet situation is well in hand and all the candy in the house has been given to the child next door, the matter of exercise ought to be considered. If one plans to lose a good deal of weight, 1t is imperative that she exercise while losing 1t. Otherwise flesh will have a dropping sagging look.
 Do you really hate setting up ex- ercises or do you just think that you do? How long has 1t been since you have done them for ten full minutes? Did you ever try them to music? Anyway. whether you hate all forms of exercise or no, you might as well face the fact that they are important. A stiff, rigid body looks old, and exercise is the only thing which prevents rigidity of the muscles and keeps flesh firm.
 If you are a fortunate individual who has access to tennis courts, riding stables and a golf course, go ahead and take your exercise in the great outdoors. But if active sports are out of the question, how about walking?
 "But I hate to walk" Is the an- swer on every side.
 Do you really? How long has 1t been since you walked a mile three time a week? Anyway, regardless of the answer and provided you are serious about staying slender, you are going to have to walk if you do not do setting up exercises or go In for active sports. If you are not naturally thin, weight Is bound to accumulate as you grow older-ur- less you do something about 1t. Keeping trim and slender Is up to the individual!

 Perhaps you have 6 cool east room all ready and waiting for guests. We'll, let the guests broil and move the youth" beds in there. Or if you happen to have one of those miracle places, upstairs or down, a screened porch, take up the Indian rugs and move the pretty chairs and pillows out and make 1t a sleep ing porch for the children.
 And When It Rains
 Oh, but 1t might rain. Yes, it might, but 1t won't rain more than one night @ week, and when 1t does, bundle them all inside, spread Q comforter on the GOT and let them polish of their slumbers there.

 Put Junior on Q couch in a dark ened room somewhere, if 1t Is cooler than his bedroom. And if he stays quite and relaxed, 1t will do him as much good as sleeping; When you can't sleep. you can't, and there's an end on 1t.
 How about an electric fan in a child's or baby bedroom? Are fans dangerous? Not a bit IF you put them reasonably high and turn the draft away from the beds. It stirs up air and relieves the dead smoth' cred feeling.

WHAT IS EASILY DIGEsTIBLE

WHAT IS EASILY DIGESTIBLE
 never took any stock in the conn mon notion of indigestion" as an explanation for illness or distress severe enough to demand medical relief, never until one dismal after noon when, an hour after I had eat- en part of e fresh cocoanut, l was seized with @ serious bellyache. Nothing like a bellyache of your own to make you realize how ser. ious 1t can be. I became sorely ds- tressed about 1t. My conscience, believe 1t or not, began to be uneasy tool recalled the many sarcastica. tons I had uttered about "acutet in- digestion" in the years had been harping on health. A touch of irony is well enough in the proper place, but after all-and then 1t occurred to me that had eaten cocoanuts often enough before with impunity l-o-o.o-h, maybe some reader who had failed to receive 6 reply had slipped me a little poison. You will never know how Respondent I was when crawled into bed and sent for a doctor.

 Acute indigestion" is Q dangerous potent physician or surgeon IS sum- moned the better. Mere retardation or for that matter total failure digest any food or combination of foods never produces more than vague discomfort. If one suffers from actual distress, bloating. gas, collie, cramp, pain, nausea, vomiting. espe- ciaily when such distress persists or recurs periodically. there Is surely e pathological cause for it - some trouble with appendix, gallsac, heart, kidney, spinal nervous system, only c good physician can say. All we can say here is that one is c fool to attribute such serious symptoms to Indigestion.
 Even the oldtimers, some of them still extant. thought this and that food was more easily digestible and prescribed for invalids on that basis, newer knowledge of nutrition and actual observation of the process of digestion by physiologiSts have ne. cessitated complete revision of the dietetics of twenty years ago. Pork takes longer than beef, lamb or chicken to digest. but pork Is more nutritious than beef, lamb or chick en, and moreover Q stomach does not get tired any more than c lung, heart or kidney does: an hour of digesting more or less means noth- Ing, if one likes pork and needs the extra nourishment. ,.h hH
 When c particular food "disa- grees" more than mentally the in- dividual has an "idiosyncraSy," or as we say nowadays, Is hypensensitive or allergic to that food. Sometimes such allerey inanifests itself in . severe reaction or upset if even Q minute quantity of the offeding food is ingested, knowingly or unknow. lngly. Items most frequently re- sponsibie for such ailergic reactions are milk, cream, raw onions cooked cabbage, raw apple, chocolate, GU. cumbers, radishes, tomatoes. eggs shellfish, but skin scratch tests rec veal such sensitivity t6 almost any food in c given case.
