Pittsburgh Coal
Seeking Orders
From Abroad
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, March l6.-A
representative of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co. said today that If negotia-
tions for the sale of bituminous coal
to Italy are successful, coal from
Southern States would probably be
cleared through Norfolk, Va, while
the Pennsylvania product would be
shipped from Philadelphia and Bal
timore.
The company, the Nations larg-
est commercial producer of btu
minous coal, disclosed earlier this
week that 1t was negotiating with
Italy, Portugal, Egypt and the
Scandinavian countries for war
born markets. Italy was regarded
as an especially likely prospect be-
cause of the allied sea blockade Of
German coal.

marriage with Frank Fay was one
of those impetuous things and
caused her great unhappiness before
it ended in divorce.
Priscilla Lane has been the on
and-off fiancee of Oren Haglund
for about IL months now U'm not
quite sure of the current status,.
Priscilla says, "The longer the en-
gagement the better. OF course, love
is more unpredictable than the
weather in Southern California,
and I guess when you're in love
you're liable to do crazy things
like suddenly getting married. Per-
sonally. I will do my best to be
practical-and wait"
If Carole Lombard hadn't be-
lieved in long engagements she
would now be signing her name
Mrs. Robert Riskin. Carole and
Bob went together" for a year be-
fore deciding they would not be
happy as Mr.. and Mrs. She had
an equally long wait with Clark
Gable-but that was less from
choice, because the second Mrs.
Gable took her time to divorce
Clark.
Both Jack Benny and Ray Mil
land belong to the school of short
engagements. Says Benny, Il think
Mary and I were engaged for about
five minutes before we were mar
ried." And, according to Milland,
Love at first sight isn't a gag-it,s
real. And frequently leads to happy
marriage. A short engagement is
perfectly all right, provided both
the boy and girl are equally sure
they've made the right choice"
When John Garfield was tackling
the intricacies of the alphabet, he
became enamored of a dark-haired
miss at the next desk. He married
her seven years ago-and is still in
love with her. "Give the same
thought and time to marriage
partner that you would to the
selection of a companion for q trip
round the world" advises Mr.. Gar
field.
From Madeleine Carroll: II be-
lieve couples should know each
other for at least a year before
getting married" (This was about
the pre-marriage period for
Madeleine and the husband from
whom she recently obtained a di-
vorceD Fred MacMurray:
Long engagements" =. Douglas
Fairbanks: ME, too." (This con-
tradicts his whirwind courtship and
marriage with his present wife)
Merle Oberon: 1T all depends
on the couple concerned" =.
Jeffrey Lynn: Things done in
haste are repented at leisure
don't rush into marriage"
Personally, I almost agree with
Claudette Colbert, who states, II
don't know whether you'd call six
months Q long or short engagement,
but that's the kind I believe in.
Six months, during which time the
man and woman are constantly
associated, gives them real insight
into the character and manner Of
the other. And this is necessary
for a successful marriage"

the long? Louis Hayward told me
little while ago that it takes man
three years to know a woman prop
erly Il would have said longer.
Il don't want to marry more than
once-and that's why I waited three
years from the time was engaged
to Ida Lupino until we were mar
ried." he told me. II wanted Ida
to be sure about me as I had to be
about her" After year of double
harness, this couple is still happy.
Jeanette Macdonald once wrote an
article about why she believed in
long engagements. At the time she
had been the fiancee of Robert
Ritchie for two years. A few weeks
later the engagement was broken.
But that only confirmed Jeanettes
belief that one should wait before
leaping into matrimony. And she
took her time-although not as long
as with Ritchie-in deciding the
marital claims of Gene Raymond.
This is another happy couple.
Dorothy Lamour says, "You can
put me down for short engagements.
I've seen lot of couples, who looked
as though they would be happily
married, break up during long en-
gagement over a trivial something
or other. Sometimes they wait and
wait until they've saved certain
amount of money; or until he's max
ing certain salary. And they
wait so long they grow tired of
each other. If they'd married in the
first place, they would have been
perfectly happy"
Ann Sheridan disagrees with
oomph rival Dotty. Both. gals, by
the way, have one marriage and one
divorce on their love calendar. Ac-
cording to "impetuous, early
marriages, entered into on the spur
of the moment by kids carried away
with the romance of it all, are the
ones that generally fail. I think
that girls and boys under Is years
of age should wait reasonable time
between engagement and marriage
just to make sure that their love is
the real thing, that it can stand the
knocks"
Robert Taylor and Barbara STAN
wyck were both over Is, but be-
lieved the long wait applied to them
as well as to youngsters. The
lengthy period between their first

Mr.. Carroll
Comes Back

And Good Old Days
Are Found Not

NEW YORK.

NEW YUM.
If you search among the South
Forties on this date, you will find
the good old days right there and
open for business. How're they do
ing? Well, as matter of fact. not
too good. A man might think Fin
ley Peter Dunno was right when he
said that what makes the old days
good Is that they aren't here any
more.
A case in point is Earl CAROLS
"Vanities." It's a new show, the
first presented in some years by the
man who invented prohibitions
bathtub grin. Although new, it's
Just the thing Mr.. Carroll used to do
when he was making the good old
days so good.
The worlds most beautiful girls?
Absolutely; it would be unfortunate
to be sighted. Rhinestones
and feathers? Naturally. Dirty
jokes? Yes, sir! And what happens
after that? The audience sits and
sits and then goes home. It's the
UllllC CNCk oo" a SuA OdA1A
descend on an expensive musical
without any handclapping from the
audience. The curtain went down
and the audience got up and
scrammed along the aisles in that
"let me out of here" manner.
Broadway keeps saying Whats
new?" with its lips. but it says "the
good old days" with its heart. It
wants q musical comedies standing
side by side and shifting the GUS
toners hip and thigh. 1t wants
actors standing on Forty-seventh
street and kidding about being "at
liberty instead of kidding about
being in the insurance business.
Also it wants-or says with its heart
that it wants-something that will
run forever by and with George M.
Cohan, an Al Woods melodrama,
George White scandals" and Earl
Carroll "Vanities," "a Ziegfeld Fol
lies" and anything at all with Fan
ME Brice in it, or the Howard BROTH
ers, or Clark and Mccullough, Belle
Baker, Elsie Janis, AL Jolson, Eddie
Cantor and Ed Wynn.
They were the good old days.
The odd thing is that they're all
here now-with the exception of Flo
Ziegfeld and Paul Mccullough
and not getting anywhere in par

quarters. The caller, entering at the
far end Of q long room, is ushered
into q state of inferiority by the
time he reaches the Zanuck desk.
Expensive period furniture Of all
sizes and capacities, floor lamps and
what-nots are scattered over the

But, for sheer novelty and fascina-
ton, well take Cecil B. De Miles
offlce any time-especially when the
old master is engrossed in the ab-
sorbine Job Of getting out q new

suite on the Paramount lot and
have q look around. A secretary
just OF the main entrance Of the
building pushes q button and the
door to q room at the left opens.
It Is q large paneled room, this
daytime home Of the 58-year-old
pioneer movie manufacturer, and
it's an ever-changing shadow Of the
world Of make-believe-a museum
Of weapons. costumes, pictures and
implements Of adventure from the
far corners Of the. earth, and some
Of the most intriguing periods Of
history. For De Mile, who does
everything with q flourish, likes to
keep the color Of his vigorous
dramas around him.
That room has been made to re-
semble everything from . store
house at Herod to the laxaret of q
pirate treasure galleon. And it
changes every year. Once q picture
is finished the room Is swept clean
of its glamorous trappings. It be-
comes once more just another busi-

Mile begins dressing it all over
again, as he builds another film
production.
Five months ago, with Union
Pacific" finished, it was undis-
tinguished. Then one day q mall
room boy hauled in q load of books
from the research department.
Stacks of photographs followed. To
the inside Of his ONCE door De Mile
tackled q white sheet Of cardboard,

upper left-hand corner wrote:
