Gasoline Gypsies
CNew York Times)

(New York Times)
 Five years ago trailers were just so many over night shelters Now there at least 300000 which are real homes Adversity is their father, necessity their mother. For $50 a suddenly thrown out of work can take to the road with his whole family and transfer his ares and penates to luckier town The nearest automobile cemetery supplies him with chassis and wheels the rest is matter of carpen- tering For those who have spare cash several hun dred manufacturers stand ready to supply more pre- tenous wheeled dwellings, If his taste that way an economic royaist with the instinct of gypsy can pay S5000 for home with a. living room folding berths) a ktchenette a bath, booksheves, desk, a sink refrigeratoc electric lights grill a tank with three days supply of water, radio set awnings roof veiltilators doors and sofa pillows There are now about 35000 manufactured trailers bought at an average retail price of about$ $00o. This year there will be 75 GOO Already the designers are think ing of two-story and of telescopipg trailers Like Chinese ports and rivers crowded with houseboats, we have a floating popula tion. But ours floats on land It already fconscous that it boasts of national organization, official guidebooks and con- ventions.
 At least million persons lead gypsy life that knows no for the morrow, with the pros- pect that year hence there will be two million Rent? It is hard to extract than dollar week from one of these nomads for the privilege of parking in empty lot. If the rent is raised he couples his trailer to his the equivalent of an Arabian folding of tents, and steals away, none too silently, to a cheaper lot the next town. Leases deeds fingers are snapped at such formates.
 But the day of reckoning is at hand. Instead of singing a heighho for the open road and the blue sky the gasoline gypses will vent their ire at the legal bsrbedswre through which they must soon cut their way s For they present social problems Cali forhia has asked for Federal assistance to pay for the schooling of 50000 trailer children The National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers pleads for uniform licensing laws and safety standards. Flint, Mich, bans tin tourists unless their ambulatory residences conform with the local housing regulations. On some roads automobiles and trailers dbarred because they classed as trucks Real estate owners are concerned because the man who drags his house after him has about as much sense of fixity as a tramp Hotels and the preten- tious roadside camps wonder what will become of their overnight patronage Public health officials al- ready drafting laws to regulate the disposal of trailer garbage and wastes And legislators are considering ways of taxing both highway destroyers and as home owners All of which shows how diff cult it is to foresee what the social consequences of an invention likely to be.

His half a year in England and on the continent was spent, he reported, in practically complete bad weather, which ought to show him what a movie villain can expect.
 But the tall affabie and schol- arly Rat1bone brought with him an undastardly note of cheer: in his opinion, there will be no war in Europe He had a great deal of fun sizlng things up, making per- sonal observations and forming per sonal oplHions which Che admits he enjoys doing.
 This radical fellow goes further than that. He thinks. actors are en- titled tC political opinions and to the expressing of them, whatever policy or tradition may decree tc the contrary
 It was with some difficulty that Rathbone was steered converse tionally from the turbulent waters of European intrigue and diplo- macy to the comparatively placid sea of film topics, where drama floats in celluloid reflection.

 However, since the studio was only rented up to noon, there was only time for chats between shots. She wore a morning robe of silver satin which contrasted admirably with her lustrous wavy golden brown hair. I watched Miss Darrieux whom everyone present called familiarly Danielle, going through the scenes of that test, scenes from a film now being shown in French, using the English language which she has almost mastered in the short time of three months. She speaks it with that delightful French accent that adds another measure to her charm and I for one hope sheli never lose 1t. After every scene, she was anxious to know whether her intonatioa Is proper and her accent American and she kept repeating and practicing some phrases until she had every ones approval. I am convinced 1t will be Q matter oi weeks only, before person with such ambition and keen musical ear will speak American as well as she speaks French. But in spite of her seriousness when she works, she cannot deny her youth, she Is a real French gamine, ready for any prank anytime and is full of life and esprit. She sang 8 couple of songs in English, compositions by can Parys who wrote many of Che valier's hits and he accompanied her at the piano. Her voice Is a sweet, warm soprano, delicate in timber. There. were hardly any scenes Danielle had to turn more than once, for she has such splendid memory, never forgets hel lines and does exactly what her di' rector-writer husband tells her.
