knock the daylights out OF a movie
talent scout, Miss Mcdonald is not
interested in movie career. 1t is
not that she has anything against
movie careers, but rather that she
feels she has a great deal to learn
about her present job. She wants
to learn it before contemplating any
thing else.
Miss Mcdonald, whose family
thought of convent and teaching
career for her, thinks herself of a
career as comedienne. That rep
resents quite spread of opinion, but
every one involved is reconciled to
the difference, so the petite, hazel
eyed 1--WE must look at peoples eyes
some day, or else stop describing
them) Grace is off in pursuit of the
wspy art of making people guffaw.
The movies will have to wait.
Heretofore, Miss McDonald's am
bition has had a chameleon quality.
In It's earliest color, it was concerned
with dancing. Having brother
with a talent for dancing, her first
notion was that the two of them
should become the Fred and Adele
Astalre Of this generation. A gen.
Grafton without a Fred and Adele
Astaire, Miss Mcdonald figured. was
the poorer for it. She was all for
doing something about it. Toward
that end she and the brother worked
furiously, the kind of drudgery that
eventually lands one (or two, or
slx) in vaudeville. a night club Job
or something akin thereto. They
were going along right well, too,
when malign fate tripped up the
brother with broken ankle.
That was pretty serious crisis,
but Miss Mcdonald carried on alone
clambering up from the night spots
and the vaudeville stage to a role
in Babes in Arms" adolescent tri-
umph OF couple of years ago. She
was hired as a dancer. but they gave
her a few comedy lines to handle
The merriment of the audience was
too much for dancing ambition
Right then and there Miss McDon-
aid decided to be comedienne. She
came farther along last year in the
bright, literate, intimate "One for
the Money" Her current opportu-
nlty represents further advancement
While she is not ignoring her dane
Ing, nor her singing. Miss Mcdonald
is even more determined to be a
comedlenne. The movies may land
her later. they do have their be-
guiling ways, OF course, but she gives
one the impression that she is 60
ing to have her way about being
graduated, probably cum laude, from
the stage.
The Irish are like that.
If not exactly in the best tradition
OF Paul Mum, Spencer Tracy, Bette
Davis and other Academy award
winners, Eskinos have picked up
something of the knack of acting
In The Wedding of Palo' which
opened at the Little yesterday as
companion piece to "A Man to Re-

knowledge of the art to color their

A documentary sort of thing deal

revelation of how love rivalries are

CABEL COMMENTS

State Senator G. b. Kerstetter,
speaking over station KMO last
week, said in part: Let us now
take a look at the appropriation
for the state highway department.
It was just mere flea bite-just
So million dollars. I want to re-
peat that, it has such a nice sound
So million dollars. fought that
appropriation tooth and toe nail.
l thought it time to quit throwing
money around like a drunken sail
or. Roads require maintenance,
and in view of depleted payrolls,
it seemed to me the time had ar
rived when we must get some idea
of the cost of maintaining the high
ways we already have built. An
other and grave reason is that we
all know, or should realize by this
time, that the national administra-
ton and the state department have
grave fears for the security of the
western hemisphere. The Puget
Sound area controls the northern
pass and not mile of highway
should be built without the high
way department consulting with
the war department. Then there
is the possibility of the war de-
partment paying for same by con-
gressional appropriation"
Few Negroes Employed
May we add that this one state
department has approximately g.
800 employees-very few colored,
if any. This Notwithstanding the
fact that hundreds of people of
color are driving autos and paying
gas tax to keep up this depart
ment.
