Hollywood-Writing a column on Hollywood is about the most diffi- cult task I've had since coming to this lively town of sunshine and star-dust. Because I know so little of what actually goes on.
 My work is ten miles from Holly wood, at Culver City, a little town, whose biggest claim to fame is Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, the studio to whom I am under contract When not needed at the studio, l am generally out of town. There fore. little gossip or general activity of Hollywood reaches me.
 Stresses Relaxation
 By spending my free time away from the film capital, do not aim to b exclusive, or establish the reputation of being recluse. Be- cause I love to be with people, to watch and listen to them. It is stim- ulating to be a part of teeming life, work, problems, joys, sorrows, and all the emotions that govern people, people, people. Plunged into the midst of people is eXhilarating when working. But when not working, l love complete rest. The kind of re- taxation one acquires only from be- ing able quietly to enjoy the hush of nature, the beauty of things that have nothing to do with city life That is why spend my spare mo- ments away from Hollywood-why I would leave the most fascinating city in the world to seek real rec. reatior.
 From my travels, I've come to the conclusion that America has more resources for the mind and eye thar those offered in any other country Where in the world can you find such contrasts? There are your big cities-like New York, let Us say The amazing architecture of its sky. scraperS is symbol Of Americas remarkable vitality. And as one looks down from one upon the whole city, 1t seems to lie on its island like a solved puzzle.
 Then out west here there are Sar Francisco's bridges, and California; forests of oil wells, rivals in @ way to those masterpieces of nature Mount Rainier, the Grand Canyon the falls of Yosemite, the sheer palisades along the Pacific. I would like to use all my spare time ex. ploring the endless wonders that are to be found here.
 May Reside Here
 Although I would never want tc live in one place all of the time, ] would like to have a home in Amer

NEW YORK-There is a luXur- ious trend in this years Christmas lingerie.
 Shimmering satins, soft laces, and flower-d -decked prints appear in the shining mounds heaped nigh for Christmas shoppers. Handsome eff fectS (much less expensive than they have been are increasingly important, and the smooth finish and restraint in design, reflective of the best designers, can be seen even in lingerie which sells for modest prices.
 All the clothes for the lounging hours have received especial at tention this season, with the re- suit that some of the smartest bed jackets and negligees seen Tn years are ready as gifts. Trim little brocade jackets fastened with glis- tening frogs, capes of pastel toned marabou (which is staging a come back and chiffon coatees with lace inserts are designed for break fast or reading in bed.
 Houseccats in Spotlight
 The housecoat has stolen the spotlight in interior fashions, which reflect a decided trend for tailored luxuriousness. The fluffy effects of few years ago have given way this season to brocades, slipper |satins, wools and new flannels, de- signed with slender fitted sleeves and bodies buttoning or closing up the front with slide fastener of contrasting hue. The colors of these house coats are as interesting as their cut, for while worries, eggshells and pale blues appear the deep grape tones, blues and reds are considered very smart.
 Christmas gifts likewise include a host of lounging pajamas often made of velvet, and sometimes top ped by a jacket of shimmering met alized silk.
 Pencil-Line Lingerie
 The slim pencil-line seen in many housecoats and day dresses is re- flected in the slender cut of new lingerie, since full shirted slips and nightdresses are not comfortable under slender frocks and house coats. Thus a whole host of Christ mas slips in crepe and shimmering satin (which continues to amount in favor) are cut with slim skirt; and long, curved, fitted waistlines Work has been done above the waist chiefly by elasticized inserts, to en- able them to mold diaphram anc 1 lift the bust.

HEPBURN IS BARRIE STAR
 AT CAPITOL
Quality Street with Fran chot Tone Ends Show
 ing Tonight

When a girl believes she has lost the affection of the man she loves she can hardly be blamed for re- sorting to a ruse to win him back according to the perturbation of Sir James Barrie's famous play Quality Street" now showing at the Capitol Theatre.
 Katharine Hepburn portrays an English girl in love with a young doctor who is drafted into the army and taken away from home for ten years. When Franchot Tone. as the doctor, returns he finds that the vivacious young girl he left be- hind has been transformed into a prim school teacher. Thinking his love for her has cooled, she tries to win back his love with a mas querade that, strangely, fools her more than it does him.
 The charm of the Barrie play is captured by Katharine Hepburn and Franchot Tone as the pair. They are aided by Fay Bainter, Eric Blore, Cora Witherspoon, Estelle Winwood, Hel- ena Grant, Florence Lake, Bonita William Bakewell Joan Fontaine and others.
 Quality Street" is a Pandro S.. German production for RKO Radio, directed by George Stevens.
