WERE YEARS AHEAD

Some of the great libraries and museums of Europe were more than five years ahead of the United States in working out this problem of preserving their ~most valuable assets. The business dates back a lot further than that, though. Ever since the great library at Alexan- dria was destroyed nearly 2,00O years ago, librarians have been trying to plan against any even- tualities" in time of war.
 The art galleries, museums and other libraries in Washington, al- ready following the lead of the Library of Congress even the newly opened National (Mellon) Gallery of Art-are working Jn methods of burying their treas ures where no blast from the skies can touch them.
 Library and museum officials say this work is not confined en- tirely to Washington. Requests for suggestions from other cities have been numerous and it is likely the Army or some other agency will include such sugges- tions in the series of pamphlets now being prepared about what to do in case of air attacks.

Hollywood Sights And Sounds
By Robbin Coons .


 That gentle zephyr blowing out of the west these days is naught but a huge, collective feminine sigh. Jean Cabin, the leading movie actor of France, is in town.
 Cabin. as you will know if you have seen "Pepe le Moku" or other of his French films, is no sleek, hand-kissing Latin. He is rug gedly handsome, in the Spencer Tracy-James Cagney style: strong chin, prominent nose, brown, gray ing hair waving back from high strong forehead, keen blue eyes with a Gallic twinkle when he smiles.
 Hollywood got him not without struggle. Cabin, long unheed- ing Hollywood's blandishmertS, was in the French navy on a mine sweeper while France was in the war. He was on leave at his new home in Dreaux, some 75 miles west Of Paris, when the NaZis broke through at Sedan. The word came they would be upon him in Is min- utes, so he packed an extra shirt, leaped into his car and headed west toward Cherbourg to rejoin his unit. The Nazis beat him there. He swung toward Brest. found the enemy ahead of him, dodged south l to Toulon. There, with Paris taken, he was demobilized. He was in Mar Seilles, bunking with friends and with only a spare shirt to his name, when Hollywood offered the way out. Andre Daven, French producer at goth Century-Fox, brought him here and he will make a picture as socn, he says, as he can learn not only to speak but to think in Eng l fish"
 At present, taking daily language 1 lessons going to movies, he has mastered quite few American expressions These he uses with small accent, fills in with eloquent gestures, but is still most at home in French with Daven or Margot Fragey, the producers secretary, as interpreter.
 Through his slight English, his gestures, and the aid of Miss Fragey (after throwing my school French out the window, I learned that Cabin, who will be 37 next month, was no stranger to Ger man invasion. As boy of TO- in 1914, he and his family fled ther home in Creil.
 His father, an actor, wanted him to become a comedian but Jean ran away in protest. He worked at manual labor before, a wiser lad, he came back to the stage. About 12 years ago he made his first movie, has cared little for the theater since.
 In Paris he had his own way on scripts and roles. In Hollywood he is reading scripts with Daven, and together they will select his first movie. He does not expect to make the same kind of pictures he mace n France-censorship, and all that. He does expect to remain the same kind of person-no glamour-boy stuff for him.
 Divorced last year from Doryane, music-hall artist he is fancy-free at the moment, but his name was linked frequently in Paris with that of RKO's Michele Morgan. In France, he says, no one ever asks questions about love or women.
