A sprightly 5o-year- Iowa
grandmother, determined to realize
childhood ambition to become an
actress, has joined the ranks of
the sweet young glamor girls try
ing to open the alluring gates Of

She is snowy-haired Mrs. Adeline
Reynolds, whose will to keep on
making the most of her long and
interesting life is further exempli-
fed by the fact that at 10 she was
graduated from the University of
California with honors.
Her pleasant smile and twinkling
eyes beamed f1ashingly from an I'M

conviction that she has stage and

Mrs. Reynolds. But my father
insisted that I get such foolish
ideas out of my head, settle down.

did. I raised two boys and two
girls and now have three grand
children"
When her children were grown
and she had an opportunity to do
pretty much as she pleased. Mrs.
Reynolds opened secretarial school
in San Francisco. Later she en-
rolled at the University of Berk-
eley, studying dramatics along with
her other subjects.
Il told Mrs. Reynolds" said Miss
Yurka, that I would see that she
gets on the right track for a film
career, because I am thoroughly
convinced she has great ability and
can become a good actress. I'm
going to help her all I can"
Mrs. Reynolds chuckled as she
revealed that, despite her 30 years,
she has taken up fencing to KEEP

plunked into soft, rain-soaked
earth, and not one of them went on.

This leads to a remarkable story
which a servant in a house where
l dined told me last night.
"You know why so few Of the
bombs explode. signore?" this serv-
ant asked. They don't explode be-
cause st. Januarius. the potent pa
tron saint of Naples, is protecting
this town. He reaches UP, touches
the bombs and explodes them in the
air. I know because my cousin has
a friend who is nurse and we have
evidence of the miracle My cousins
friend was tending a sick woman,
who rose in the bed and cried:
"I see st. Januarius. His hands
are burned and bleeding. His hands
are burned and bleeding from
catching the British bombs and ex-
ploding them in the air, before they
can reach the Neopolitans.'
You see, her vision proves the
truth of the miracle"
I have learned today that this
story, though without the sanction
of the church, as yet, is wildly be-
lieved by the simple people and I
heard it myself from two others. A
bishop put to death under Diocle-
tian, st. Januarius is really beloved
by the people.
Women Stand in Line Hours.
In the beginning the Neopolitans
were half scared to death by the
German versions of what was hap
pening to London, and night after
night, without raids or alarms, hum
dreds took blankets and went into
the tunnels under the hills. Now
cold weather, St. Januarius and the
conviction that the British are try
ing to avoid civilian casualties,
which I heard expressed on every
hand, have given the Neopohtans
heart to wait until there are actual
alarms.

Talking with people in Naples, I

there have been no disturbances
such as reported abroad. These con-
ditions are temporary, the people

At a great factory in one OF the
