air market filled with Mexican
wares. The firm chatter of Spanish
is mixed with the low whine OF
guitars, Mexican minstrels playing
old folk songs In costume. Trays of
pinyon nuts lie about. It's a temp
tation to take handful. especially
after you've already tasted one or
two. They are delicious. If you're
really hungary there are several
good Mexican restaurants of
Olvera street. One in particular
features not only chile and steaks,
but floor show built around tiny
Spanish dancer. She gets so many
encores the manager has to finally
step in and announce the final
number, which is an imitation bull
fight. The audience goes into hys-
terics laughing at this clever stunt
They use dogs instead of bulls.
On Saturday Nights.
Saturday night in Los Angeles can
mean dancing at the Cocoanut Grove,
if you're minded to get into formal
clothes and want areally atmos-
pheric place to go. The palms
and swing music complement each
other we'll After an elaborate din
ner it might be a relief to dance
the Conga. That is, if you like
having some stranger tugging at
your waistline
After the Grove there is the
Beachcomber's Here the palm
tree atmosphere is enlarged into
the actual tropics-banana trees
outside shaded windows, thatched
walls and ceilings. If you tell the
waiter, Just bring me something
to eat" he'll bring some Hawaiian
stew and tidbits that stick in your
teeth but taste fine. Suddenly you
hear downpour of rain Any one
who has lived in the tropics never
forgets the sound of rain on cor
rugated iron roofs, or matched
roofs, hour after hour, day after
day during the rainy season. Here
at the Beachcomber's the sound
is reproduced perfectly. So much
so, you expect any moment to have
the native servants running in
with buckets to catch the leaks and
inquire If the master has come
home safely. After the cloud
burst" the Hawaiian music starts
again and conversation picks up
where it left off.
An old standby for sightseeing
is to mount double-decker bus
and ignore how hard the wind blows.
The ride down Wiltshire boulevard
at sunset gives a mellow view of
the not too high buildings of Los
Angeles, and the surrounding
mountains. Many shops along the
way, in fact stores all over the city,
have the appearance of being
special exhibits at some fair grounds.
If you ask directions in downtown
Los Angeles, like as not you will
get the humble answer, "Sorry,
but I'm stranger here, too. I
wouldn't know"

New Hotel in Andes
Is Winter Sports Center

SANTIAGO, Chile, March 30
The new government tourist hotel
in the Andes, Ell Portillo, has be-
come a winter sports center since it
opened few weeks ago. It stands
on the shore of Laguna del Inca
(the Lake of the Inca), over 1900
feet above sea level and on the line
of the new Trans-Andean motor
highway.
While it seldom freezes in Santiago
in July and August, the coldest
months, the ice forms to a depth of
over IL inches in the winter and
stays frozen for several months at
Laguna del Inca. The surrounding
slopes of the Andes are covered with
snow, with excellent skiing between
May and September. The new hotel
is only 120 miles from Valparaiso,
with its beaches, or Santiago, with
its f1ower-lined boulevards.
The hotel is a modern structure of
native stone, with accommodations
for 10 overnight guests and with a
dining room to seat over 500 daytime
visitors.

Americas Travellers

LOS ANGELES, March 30-If the
starts at dawn, it is worth seeing.
From the train window, the noun
tains show up black against the
blushing east. They fold in and
out of each other like stage scenery.
AS the morning light increases,
green fields and tumbling creeks
come in view, decided contrast to
the desert country side of adjoining
States-although each has its pc
culiar charm.
At breakfast on the streamliner
you will see the first panorama of
snow-capped peaks towering over
the deep green of orange groves.
The sunshine, the intense blue sky
and again, the green grass, might
have been painted on canvas. 1t
doesn't seem possible that this
should be the ordinary, every day
background for Southern California
living. San Bernardino, Pasadena
and then, Los Angeles.
The long tunnels of the new Los
Angeles Union Station might re-
mind you of a New York sub
way station, but minus the dirt
and noise. The building is GER
tainly immaculate, without a trace
Of smoke or stale air. From the
outside it looks like a new hotel,
surrounded by palms and patios of
flowers. A loudspeaker system car
rles soft music trough the waiting
rooms. The tunes follow you out
into the sunlit plaza. landmark of

Homes of Stars to Right.
Coming into so huge and attractive
a city as Los Angeles, people
usually have some definite things in
mind they want to see first, perhaps
1t is the Pacific Ocean. On such
a beautiful day the water would
surely be blue and even little

Why is Palm Springs so hkable?
Because of the clinate-81 degrees
by day and IS degrees by night, and
all Of it dry air? Because Of the
fashionable visitors? Because OF the
fine hotels-El Mirador, Desert Inn,
Casitas del Monte, the Oasis, Smoke
Tree Ranch. the Royal Palms
among others? The thing that makes
this desert town live Is the whispered

great. To the left, Los Angeles
is spread out far below. Even Sum-
day afternoon traffic can't inter-
fere with the fine contrasting views
of city wrapped in haze on one
side, and striking Spanish villas
up the hills on the other. Not
so many years ago all the smart
shops and lined lawns were
unheard of. The area around the
boulevard was as yet undeveloped.
Suppose by some good chance,
you do spend a day in Hollywood
movie studio. Every day it gets
harder to get into one. The reason
is this: When the company is ready
for the take. eery one on the
set has to be absolutely quiet while
the scene is being played. If a
tourist so much as coughs, the
whole thing is ruined and has to
be done over. A Well-knoWn &C
tress was gong through a poignant
love scene one day. So moved was
visitor on the set, that she let
out long sigh-Which, of course,
was recorded. The director furi-
ously announced that the scene
must be repeated. The actress got
furious, too. and locked herself in
her dressing room. Meanwhile the
company of extras was being paid
by the hour. All because of sigh,
much money and temper were lost.
So now most moving picture stu
dios exclude all visitors when i'm
portant scenes are being taken.
The receptionist Immediately asks
your name and business. If she
smiles and mods, you will hear a
buzzer opening the electrically
locked entrance gate.
Beyond is long, shiny hall with
an array of photographs of the
studios leading stars. You wonder
If you'll get to see any of them.
Luncheon in the studio commissary
is the beginning of series of
thrills, that is, if movie stars affect
you that way. Ann Sheridan and
George Brent on one particular
day were lunching at a corner ta-
BILE with two scenario writer's. Alan
Hale was busy talking and wash
ing down a hearty lunch with a
bottle of beer. The studio press
representative said quickly, There S
one of the finest men in the busi-
ness. He can act, direct and pro-
duce, and he's been at it for years. "
"Hellos" From Jane Wyman.
Diminutive Jane Wyman came
rushing in. The long blond hair
and the all-white slacks and polo
coat made good setting for the
flashing brown eyes. She trilled
hello to every one in sight and
settled down for chat with Come
dian Frank McHugh. Binnie Barnes
had her, hair tightly waved and
in a net. She and her mother were
eating together. Anne Shirley and
Robert Preston we're called to the
telephone several times before they
finally finished lunch. Most of the
stars in the commissary were wear
ing the violent sun-tan makeup

celebrities. Here thousands of Cali
fornians, with plenty OF tourists
mixed in, come to relax in the sun
and breathe the salt-tanged air.
The Santa Monica highway is a
ribbon of smooth cement bordering
the very edge of the ocean. After
some miles one may turn up a
winding road to the right and on
to the San Fernando Valley and
back to Los Angeles, thus completing
a scenic loop. Shoreward, the
Pacific sinks lower into the green
tufted hills until it is only a blue
haze that quite disappeared as the
road wound eastward. Looking out
from the crest, the San Fernando
Valley, spread out down below like
a deep green crater. Several ranches,
hidden in the uplands, are passed
before Ventura boulevard, leading
into Los Angeles, is reached.

enough for a swim in the Lido back
at the Ambassador Hotel.
The water in the pool is heated
Relaxing, one might think of the
busy studio secretaries, girls dressed
in smart woolens to celebrate the
spirit if not the reality of winter.
1t seems amazing that Southern
Californians dress much the same
as in back East, fur coats and
all. Yet the temperature really
calls for light sports clothes and
topcoats during the day. The
answer seems to be that year-round
residents in Los Angeles look for
ward to change in wardrobe even
if there isn't much of a decided
change in seasons.
For Weeks of Touring.
Seeing all of the $50 square miles
of Los Angeles County takes days
and even weeks. The city itself
has buoyancy in the atmosphere,
inviting to people of all tastes and
backgrounds, as a pleasing reminder
that here is a place you can be
yourself in. In the winter months
there has to be rain, but it lasts
only short time and the gardens
are more colorful than ever.
Landmarks typical of Los Angeles
are those shaggy palms, with their
occasional Dutch boy haircuts, that
tower into the sky along gardens
and boulevards. Wherever you 60.
you have a wonderful sense that
there is plenty of room and lots
of fresh mountain and sea air. No
more searching now, for some dream
spot. Whatever you like best in
climate, sports, flowers, Offices,
homes and whatnot. Los Angeles
is liable to have it right there for
you.

The Travellers Notebook
In Which Guest Writes Why Visitors
Go to Colfornios Palm Springs,
And What They Find
BY DOROTHY v. CHALDRoN.

BY DOROTHY v. CHALDRON.
California Palm Springs Is the
desert gone modern. This town In
the CoachellA Valley has attracted
smart shops, the finest resort hotels,
and wide variety Of sports facili-
ties-up-to-date luxuries that va
cationists demand. But the luxury
atmosphere never quite reaches the
satiation point. Here the desert
steps In. Its rugged simplicity. the
soothing tang OF the dry air, and the
natural beauty and soidity Of old
Mount San Jacinto, subtly restore
the balance.
The Desert Inn is really not q
hotel at all, but = model desert
community. The main building
houses the lobby, dining rooms and
bar, but the guests live out on the
grounds in bungalows and separate
units. Some of the rooms have
private balconies that overlook the
irrigation stream, the broad lawns
with sun-bathing cabinets, and
always, the flower beds. In the
morning the sun comes up and
paints the rocky hills behind Desert
Inn q bright pink. The palm trees
catch the early morning breeze, and
the day begins.
For the first few days, a read
justment usually goes on. The
deserts winter climate is busy re-
laxing you to the point where you
can't get enough sleep. After break
fast, the morning can be spent on
the tennis courts, or in q lounge
chair by the swimming pool, or in
the swimming pool. The water Is
heated to take of the chill.
Luncheon at Desert Inn-the hotel
is entirely American plan-is eaten
in the f1ower-bordered patio under
big striped umbrellas Guests wear
sports cloths all colors OF the rain
bow. In the evening. dinner is
served in the spacious dining hall,

ing pastimes. The Tennis Club has
a restful charm peculiarly its own,
and you soon find out why when you
meet the owners. the Austin Nc
Manuses. Mrs. McManus is the
daughter of the first white settler
in Palm Springs, Judge John
Guthrie McCallum He came ont
from San Francisco in 1884 and
Immediately conceived the possi-
bilities of this desert spot once it
was irrigated Mrs. McManus has
seen Palm Springs grow from a
cluster of tents to its present
cluster of shops and hotels. There
were times when the town seemed
Evening star., 1940-03-31

to be heading for cheap elamor and
gaiety, but the firm hand of the
early residents was soon felt and
the crises were passed.
The Tennis Club is further proof
Of the quality Of Western hospitality.
1t Is nestled At the foot of the same
red rock hills as the Desert Inn, a
short distance from town. Club
members have nicknamed the club
"Shangri-la Junior" Through the
center Of sloping green lawns runs
q trout brook. The idea is to catch
your trout yourself and q few min
utes later have 1t served to you for
luncheon. The dining room We
randa overlooks the club grounds,
including the swimming pool, three
tennis courts and bowling green's.
Beyond are the mountains and the
broad sweep Of desert.
Palm Springs has its Racquet Club,
too. Two cinema couples own 1t,
the Ralph Bellamys and the Charlie
Farrels. TIE handsome swimming
pool Is usually left to the sun by
itself, while the crowds gather by
the courts and in the bar. Since
Hollywood empties itself on Palm
Springs over the weekends, the
Racquet Club has become a night
spot, too. Another favorite stop-off
during week nights are the Rogers
Stables. Half stables and half night
club bar, the place rings with cow
boy music and the shuttle Of sandals
and boots.
In spite of all the land sports"
available at Palm Springs-tennis,
golf. skeet shooting, badminton.
cycling and motor touring the way
to catch the spell Of the desert is
to get horse and ride into sunset
or sunrise. The comboys are bound
to assure you that you're already a
good Western rider. While you feel
like bouncing ball on the saddle,
the cowboy alongside will insist,
why, lady, you're stickin' on there
easy as glue!" AS the canter con-
tinues, he'll give his lariat a whirl
and yank a sagebush, roots and all,
out Of the desert. Dubes are prone
to think that roping is easy.
Palm Springs is famous for break
fast rides The riders have to be
out at the stables by 8. and that
means 8 in the morning. Non riders
come out by stagecoach to a given
spot, usually grove of desert smoke
trees. Long before the breakfasters
arrive, cowboy chefs have been busy
since dawn building fires and get
ting the "chuck" ready.
At long board tables are flap
jacks, scrambled eggs and bacon,
raisin toast and steaming coffee.
