HOLLYWOOD-A hundred
heads turned as Deanna Durbin,
in an comply black evening
gown she had been wearing in
q wardrobe test, swept into the
studio cafe. Stars smiled, pro-
ducers waved, and from corner
occupied by a group of writer's
came q faint but admiring whis-
tie.
Miss Durbin moved toward
her reserved table, said hello,
parked her purse on a vacant
chair, and settled down for a
nice vegetable plate and few
carefully chosen remarks on the
subject of marriage. &
Your correspondent sat there
like a lummox, remembering
things.
It was Ave years ago I'd met
her in the lobby of the main
building, one afternoon when
she and her mother had been
settling some final details about
Deanna going into pictures. At
least there would be one pic
ture, called "Three Smart
Girls Her contract, Begin
ming at $3.50 a week, was sprin-
killed. with three-month options,
so she might not be around very
long. Her acting test had been
pretty bad.
Mrs. Durbin and her daugh-
ter didn't tell me any of those
things. They said how'd you
do, and the 13-year old kid with
the disconcertingly level gaze
said Eyes" and "No" to a couple
Of questions.
'Cool child" I remarked to

EYES," he said. We've been
talking about adding a couple
of years to her age because she's
so poised that nobody will be-
lieve she's so young. And peo-
pie who hear her on the radio
write in asking her why, when
a woman has such a marvellous
voice, is it necessary to claim
she's only q little girl?,"
REMEMBER THAT
FIRST SCREEN KISS?
BY 1897, Dearna was a star.
Immediately there was a lot Of
speculation about whether she'd
60 through a gangling, awkward
interval and what kind of stories
she should have.
Producer Joe Pasternak took a
firm hand. He was determined
that she'd never be arch or
smarty or Economically preco-
cious. Her screen adolescence
was going to progress naturally,
with nothing more serious than
puppy-love.
In October, 1939-after STALL
ing of the scene for almost Ave
weeks Miss Durbin stood on
the balcony of q set for First
Love" and received her first
screen kiss. The news of that
chaste, scared peck from Robert
Stack was flashed around the
world.
And now, with mice Girl
jst reaching the screen, Deanna
is preparing for q picture called
Ready for Romance" The top
man in it will be the balding,
hypnotic-voiced Charles Boyer.
And to prove it's no misnomer,
she'll be a honeymooning bride
when the film is released.

. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

The opening bid did not deter
West from bidding his clubs, nor
did II affect North's call. North
would have bid four spades at
first opportunity in any event.
But East's decision was not
so easy to make. Should he bid
Ave diamonds? South's no trump
hand, even though weak, might
very well furnish just enough
defensive strength to defeat the
contract, and IL it happened to
be q good hand or well supplied
with diamonds, it might slaugh-
ter a five-diamond bid.
Easts two aces, plus Vests
strength shown by his overcall.
plus the certainty that South's
dhand was not q powerhouse In
top cards, made 1t look much
better to double four spades.
East can scarcely be blamed for
his choice.
It Is easy to say, after seeing
the North hand, that he should
have been warned by North's
pre-empt that he was up against
q terrific spade suit. But 1t
must be remembered that East
has to hgure that perhaps North
stretched his hand IN bidding
spades, hoping that South held
more top cards than he actually
furnished.
OF Course, North wrapped up
his contract OF four spades dou-
bled, while East could have
made seven. diamonds.

WHOSE ADVANTAGE

every OOStneSS Wou W0trO MS Solt
knows thot only deal In which both
buyer and seller ore satisfied, by which
both profit, is worth moking. The deol
in which one porty gains On advantage
at the expense Of the other IS no good in
the long run. No permanent business.
no permanent system Of trade can be
built on that bosis
That goes for trode between notions
as we'll as for trode between people. We
have found out that no country con
continue Indefinitely to buy more tnon
it sells, to be placed at q permanent dis
advantage. international trode never
comes out exoctIy even. There ore ol-
woys some odd bolonces to be settled.
But as q permanent natter, exchange
between countries must come sooner or
Ioter into something like q bolonce.
Each country must dispose OF whot It
hos too much of, and receive equal vol
ue in the things it needs.
Thot general principle throws light
on Herr Hitters recent speech in which
he outlined his principles Of inferno
tonol trade. He. wos not going to be re-
stricted by money considerations, he
said; he was going to buy for the Ger
man people, not money, but goods. 50
I'VE ore going to do business" he
added, SOLELY on the bosis Of 0ermdn
advantage. It it's good for Germany, we
shall trode."
The CoIombions found out about
German advantage. They sold" huge
quantities of coffee to Germany for
blocked marks, money which wos
good only in Germony-in short, for q
credit against 6ermon goods, when. as.
and if German goods they wanted
should be available. The Germans then
took the coffee, and. insteod Of drink
ing it themselves. sold it around Europe
to CoIombio's regular customers at
trick prices. Colombia lost the coffee,
lost it's regular markets, and got MOTH
ing but credits in Germany. Because
thot credit was good nowhere else. they
had to toke what Germany offered at
Germonys prices. They didn't like the
deal much. though it wos certainly on
the basis Of Germon odvontoee."
4 .Mork the difference between this
sond sheer borter. There is nothing
wrong with straight barter deol. Hod
Colombo swopped so much coffee for
an equal value in roodscropers, no one
would have been thu worse off.
But it wasn't like that Colombia
was forced. in effect, to mortgage q
large chunk of her future purchasing
power to Germany, which is something
else again.
Had she received money insteod,
she could have gone anywhere in the
world and bought what she needed.
Thots the advantage Of money. It's not
thot borter, in an individual or on in
ternotionoI deal, is wrong. 1t is simply
thot it is mokeshift, limited system
which restricts rather than facilitates
trode.

DEANNA'S MARRIAGE
WILL BE DIFFERENT
Miss Durbin Is deeply and
maybe . little defiantly in love.
I think she feels and resents the
thoughts of many people who,
while wishing her all the luck
in the world, have an outspoken
conviction that marriage for any
star Is a mighty precarious ven
ture. This one, she's sure, will
be different.
