Hollywood Sights And Sounds

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 26 = Our bucolic day, or life in the great outdoors:

 Part of the ranch has been turned into a Mexican village. It's the one Olivia De Havilland and Charles Boyer visit on their movie honeymoon. after Boyer, the heel, has married sweet Olivia in order to facilitate his entry into the U. s.
 There's a fiesta in progress in the village square before the old, tile-roofed church, the paisanos are dancing. Festoons of paper flowers hang from the trees; ven- dors' tables are loaded with can- dles, shawls, pottery. straw hats, sweetmeats, thick syrupy drinks. The script says: ITO offset any operetta feeling, the Diego Rivera quality of the peasants should be emphasized :. bare feet shoes dangling over their necks by shoe faces simple. authentically poor costumes.
 The scene has Boyer and De Havilland witnessing the cere- mony of the olive, tree. There's no such ceremony, actually, but it makes a good dramatic device After wedding. the bridegroom shakes the tree outside the church and the couples progeny is SUD- posed to equal in number the olives that fall. Boyer shakes, and the ensuing closeup reveals three olives for DeHavilland to blush over. Hundreds of rubber olives have been tied to the tree in ad- vance for easy disloding.
 At the Mexican luncheon, the paisanos surprise with an i'm promptu serenade. They sing as Il they love to sing. as if they'd be singing if there were none te listen. The director, Mitchell Lei sen, lives up to his unofficial title as the extras favorite director. He has a knack for seeming tc play host to the people who work for him.

it is now possible. with government

There were four attacks in all

open the attack. They swept in at

Within seconds defending anti

Scientists Offers
War Utter Rules

EVANSTOWN, Ill, Dec. IL. up
DR.. Irving j. Lee, Northwestern
University psychologist, likened war
jitters to stage fright today and
offered seven rules to safeguard
morale
Lee, who helped actors, business
men and students overcome the
"inefficiency of anxiety listed these
rules:
/. Center your attention on the
task at hand.
=. Don't feel that the whole bur
den rests on you.
3. Remember that worry Saps
your energy and leads to more
worry.
t. Don't expect too much: pre-
pare for bad news. 1t isn't the
pain but the surprise coming OF
the pain that hurts.
s. Question all rumorS.' Don't let
them affect you emotionally.
g. Trust those in authority. Only
they are in position to know
the facts.
7. Don't worry near children.
They spread anxiety quickly.
