Franklin D. Roosevelt wants to
do the right thing. Upon his
shoulders rests the future of
America and of democracy. No
man in history has had a greater
responsibility. He needs loyalty,
encouragement, support. The
day of effective debates and fair
criticism is passed. The time
has arrived when strategy alone
will determine our course. III
his strategic maneuvers we hope
the President makes no mis-
takes, but we also hope that fear
of mistakes will not cause him to
falter when action is necessary.

The time for long debate and
pickering has passed. Our
chosen representatives have had
full opportunity to discuss every
phase of our national political
policies. 1t now becomes a
problem of intelligent and eff
cient administration and execu-
ton. The President is our con-
stitutional spokesman in foreign
relations. The President is also
Commander in Chief of our
Army and Navy. In these capa-
cities he has the advantage of
expert advice and first-hand
facts upon which to base conclu-
sions. Developments have
reached the stage when to dis
cuss new problems before Con-
gress is not only impossible but
suicidal.
The President is the man to
whom we must all look for prop
err guidance through the troubl-
Gus times ahead. No man in
America wants the right thing
done nearly as fervently as

| Might Be
Wrong--BUT
by p. G. Stromberg

1t is almost three weeks since
Hitler ordered the invasion Of
Russia and, if we discount claims
from each side equally, it seems
that Stains forces are Offering
much sitter resistance than the
German high command antici-
pated.
Claims and counter-claims so
becloud war reports that any
semblance of reliable and accu-
rate news is hard to get. On one
score, however, we can and do
get reliable information. That
is the attitude and activity of
our own government. If Hitler
sought to gain support in
American public opinion in his
campaign against the Reds he
has, by this time, learned that
the reverse is true. He pro-
claimed his campaign against
Russia as "Holy War" in the
hope of winning the sympathy
of Christian people throughout
the world. By now he has ample
evidence that while the Chris
tan world re ognizes the hope
lessness of religion in Russia, it
also is aware of the Nazi danger
as much more immediate.
In America, at least, Christian
people find themselves in entire
sympathy with Russia and few
will deny that the Russian inva-
sion has solicited public opinion
against the Nazi menace.
Announcement of the landing
of sailors and Marines to take
! over bases in Iceland is a sign
that President Roosevelt is de-
termined to see that lend-lease
shipments to Britain shall be de-
livered to Britain. 1t means that
half of the long lane from
America to England through the
North Atlantic is being given
the "all clear" signal. It is not
an act of war but it an aggres-
sive and fortnight act which
heartens our British friends
while, at the same time, notifies
Hitler and his satellite, Musso-
lini, that the United States
means to give force to her
declared policies.
We can hope that Senator
Burton X. Wheeler is embar-
raised. The spectacle of one of
our public men who, due to his
official position, is able to obtain
certain confidential information,
takes advantage of that position
and broadcasts secret informa-
ton to the world is embarrass-
ing to millions of US. I could
never subscribe to a complete
muzzling of opposition leaders
but / can readily subscribe to a
plan which would warn all peo-
pie, senator's included, that they
must either support the govern
ment's policies in a crisis in
foreign relations or X E E P
QUIET. A true democrat is a
man who can take licking and,
even though he remain uncon-
WINGED, go along with the ma
jority. Willkie has proven him
self a real democrat and the
people of America love him for
it.

Leonora Corbett. who plays the
role of Elvira in Noel Coward's new
Broadway hit, "Blithe Spirit" is
demonstrating how she transforms
herself daily into probably the only
ghost with sex appeal in the history
of the theater.
On the night of the New York
opening, mischievous wrath in
pale draperies glided onto a set oc-
cupied by Peggy Wood and Clifton
Webb and went merrily about max
ing a sort of occult triangle out of
married twosome, being a dead
wife of Clifton's.
First nighters breathed a collec-
tive "ah' of appreciation and
promptly took the young English
actress to their hearts on the occa-
sion of her first appearance on the
American stage.
How does she get herself up like
that?" they asked.
An Hour and Some Help.
So went to the Morosco Theater
to watch her transform herself from
stunningly pretty brunette who
came in off the street in a black
velvet suit, to charming, ethereal
bit from the beyond.
1t takes about an hour and the
help of maid to achieve that out
of this world effect.
The makeup for Elvira was sug-
gested, says Miss Corbett. by a visit
she made to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art after her arrival
here in February.
She had just been selected for her
third Noel Coward role :. the other
two having been choked off in re-

And he's written a flock of short

Even Welles' boundless energy
could not accomplish alone all the
things he has been credited with

Her Mask Of Death Is Adopted Nightly
Being Note the Manner in Which Leonora Corbett
Becomes the 'Blihe Spirit of Mr.. Cowards Play

Natural color shows through, even
to the second balcony.
She paints her eyebrows with
green and her lids with bright blue
Then she turns up her eyelashes with
one of those rubber gadgets and ap-
plies three coats of black mascara,
melted to liquid, letting each coat
dry before she puts on the next one.
To achieve the ethereal effect she
puts a white line around her pink,
not red, mouth and white line un-
der her lower eyelashes.
The whole job. somehow. seems to
have warmth without obvious color,
except on her mouth, fingernails
and toenalls.
I've been criticized for my red
manicure and pedicure. laughs Miss
Corbett, but my reply is 1T wouldn't
be heaven if there weren't a beauty
shop there"
A Binding Headache.
Miss Corbett's silver curls are a
wig -. It's too tough chore getting
powder out of your own hair every
night. AS it is. Miss Corbett does
not take her makeup off until she
returns to her hotel after the per-
formance.
THE first night it scared the ele-
vator man." she recalls. And you
can see that it takes a very i'm
portant supper date to get me out"
For the wig. Mile Blanc binds her
head viciously tight with gauze
bands.
The trouble with wigs is that
they make heads look too large"
she explains, unless you do this.
The binding gives you a headache
every night but it's worth it."
Miss Corbett whirls for inspection,
blending into the gray satin and
crystal dressing room which was
decorated for her as gift. The car
pet is gray and even the wash bowl
is pleated in silk and the hand
towels are gray. Two stuffed canary
birds, yellow, rest in silver cage
by the dressing room.
The curtain call comes for Miss
Corbett, she drapes her head in the
gray hood and floating panels that
she wears in the first act and exits
to make her entrance. An invisible
green spotlight follows her in every
scene.
A Merry Lass.
When told that it was astonishing
to discover that she was a brunette,
Miss Corbett says that she often has
her hair dyed blond and that Noel
Coward says that she Is a blond by
temperament.
Certainly she is a merry young
woman, and a great addition to the
Broadway season.
Miss Corbett went from Oxford
High School to a Shakespearean
company, one Of her fellow appren-
tices being Robert Donat. The show,
Lady in Waiting" gave them both
their first London chance. She
played opposite Maurice Evans in
"Other Peoples Lives" and created
the role of The Patient in Shaw'S
'Too True to Be Good"
She has been in many English
movies and was seen here as Brian
Aherne's leading woman in THE
Constant Nymph."
Before coming to the United
States. Miss Corbett was driving an
ambulance and was one of the first
to enter Coventry after its devasta-
ton.

! sometimes known as The Gray
Nude"
This picture is done in gray oils,
resembles sculpture and has a
luminous and unearthly quality
which Miss Corbett decided to try
to capture in paint and powder.
The makeup she achieved by trial
and error, and the gown through
Mainbocher, famous French design
er now in New York, the first one he
has ever made for professional use.
But Not Too Ardent"
1t is made of gray crepe, has no
adornment except line, and there
are two, exactly the same, SO that
the effect will always be fresh.
Il had the wrong idea about how
the dress should look" confesses
Miss Corbett. "I thought it should
be of chiffon, but Mainbocher said
MOI"
One night at an out-of-town per-
formance before the Broadway
opening, we tried a gray chiffon
gown, and I merely looked like girl
going to party.
"Mainbocher said, I want the
dress to caress you Said 1, But not
too ardent an embrace"
said Mainbocher severly, you
must look as if you have no clothes
on, but every inch Of you must be
covered"
He has achieved his purpose.
The dress does not fit her tightly,
either.
Her advice to American women is
"if you wish to look slender wear a
dress size too large for you. :
Never look poured in
About the art work proper, says
Miss Corbett:
After 1 put on this sheer gray
cream, specially made for me, dust
myself with this mauvy green pow
der to make myself look a bit
moldy."
All of the extra dashes. which are
legion, she applies with paint
brushes, which her maid, Julliette
Blanc, a French refugee, washes be-
tween each act.
Miss Corbett touches Chinese
white in the inner and outer corner
of her eyes, and, of all things, puts
white on her cheeks.
