An eloquent reading of Schubert's

the high point of Mr.. O'Connell's
directing of an orchestral program

that, although called the tragic"

mered through it in Mr.. O'Connen's
conception, not to be repressed even

of similarly small dimensions are
ready to disavow to the full extent
of their eloquence that Miss Farmer
is the upstage lady of whom they
once read in the papers and the
fan magazines.
Without cavil they accept Miss
Farmers own story that she never
really was uppish and her surprise
that she should be so regarded
when all along it was just a natural
shyneSs that made her uncomfort-
able in dealing with people. In her
native Seattle, where even beautiful
and talented girls are not required
to live in the fierce, white light OF
public attention, she had been al
lowed to be reserved without re-
proof. 1t took her some time, al
though she was a brilliant student
at the University of Washington,
to realize that Hollywood was not
like Seattle in its quick and often
stupid judgments of people.
She learned, however, and is able
to say today of the experience:
Every time I hear this business
about being uppish I really have
to laugh when I think about my
days as a student at the University
of Washington. I was a movie
usher and a waitress in order to
pay for my education. If that's not
democracy, then where does it be-
gin?"
If comparisons were not odious
Miss Farmer might point out that
she is more lamblike than even
Dorothy Lamour, who in spite of
those rows about cutting her hair
and wearing sarongs, is rated by
studio associates as one of the
smoothest tempered people in Holly
wood.
In her next picture she wears
sarong most of the time. Never
once did she demur on the ground
that she looks better in parka or
a flying suit designed for visiting
the stratosphere in an open-cockpit
airplane.
She just wore the sarong. And
well, to judge by the still photos
that are being sent out to illustrate
the story of her temperamental re-
generation.
A thoroughgoing essayist might
make something of the contrast be-
tween the reforms of American and
foreign-born actresses in their rep
utationS for temperament.
Two in the latter category who
are ready to forgive Hollywood for
arouSing their wrath, to allow all
bygones to be bygones, are Luise
Rainer and Simone Simon. Both
have returned to the rose-bearing
desert that is the cinema capital,
the purpose in both cases being
the resumption of careers inter-
rupted by anger.
Neither has made much progress
to date, but even a clumsy, amateur
horoscopist would be inclined to
say that this is the ideal year..
