Most film players diet to improve
their figures, but Charles Boyer
eats to cultivate dramatic moods.
Unlike Shakespeare, who held
music is the food of love, Boyer
considers beefsteak and French
fried potatoes the ideal diet on
which to prepare for love scenes.
Since romance figures prominently
in all of his screen vehicles, 1t is
obvious that the star is richly nour-
ished, which in turn puts him IN the
predicament of the general run OF

WALTER CHIVERS SAYS:

Another obstacle between Negro
youth and adults is the fact that
parents do not have access to

only a very limited way has
parent-child psychology been in
cluded in the adult education
programs open to Negro parents.
If they only knew the facts
parental love would make them
more sympathetic towards their
restless, thwarted youth. The dras-
tic sacrifices so many Of them
make TO educate their children
is proof of their interest.
