acting contract instead of cash
settlement, and then proceeded
to surprise everyone by earning
his money and moving quickly
into leading roles.
Arlen speaks wistfully OF the
earlier years at Paramount when
he and Gary Cooper, Bling Cros-
by and Jack Oakie played foot
ball on the lawn behind the adj
ministration building and tackl-
ed cuties and dignified execu-
tives. They did other things, too,
such as blasting with blanks at
the south end of a stark-naked
and swiftly sprinting Maurice
Chevalier.
Those were happy days.
Everything seems to be changed
now except Dick Arlen himself.

A SENSE OF BALANCE

After conducting in European
countries q survey Of ehiIdren's reoc-
tons to war, the Foster Porents' Plan
for War Children reports that the
most important finding is. THE ehiId's
life must be kept as normal as posi-
ble."
The adults life, too, should be
kept as normal as possible. This does
not mean pleasure as usual" any
more than business as usuol." But it
does not require extraordinary per-
spicocity to recognize that much Of
EnaIond's endurance under fire comes
from the ability to "cory on" whole
some customary daily activities.
Granting mistakes and opothy in the
post, it is nevertheless because we do
believe in normal way of living that
we find ourselves in conflict with the
Axis. We ore fighting because we can
not be won over to abnormal totolitor-
ian woys Of life.
This is one reason why some Of the
things our democratic way emphasizes
Education, religion, art, music, lit
eroture-ore receiving much consider
otion by those responsible for the vel
fore Of the armed forces. Soldier, sail
or, and oviotor are provided with cul-
turoI and even recreotionol opportu-
mites.
The war effort demands sacrifices,
reodjustments, conservation. Civilians
must share in all these. In doing so,
however, they may usefuIIy drow q
line between constructive effort and
mere hysterio and needless expendi-
ture Of physical and mental resources.
The civilian, putting all his might be-
hind the wheel Of production or into
organization for defense, will be no
less hardy and intelligent fighter for
having little beauty and little play,
expressing balance in time Of stress.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan 15-No-
body seems so changeless as
Richard Arlen, who has been
playing romantic leads in movies
longer than any other actor, who
has made and lost and remade
several fortunes, and who al
ways seems to. get kick out OF
everything.
For 20 years and $50 to 800
pictures Che never bothered to
keep county Arlen has been do
ing worthy deeds-mostly VOL
ent, winning ENTHUSIASTICALLY
with a pretty brusque manner,
and endearing himself to direc-
tors while driving them crazy
with his gags and his casual
attitude toward work.
Acting is such an effortless &C.
cupation that Arlen never looks
at q script until he reaches the
set on the first morning Of pro-
duction. If the director asks him
to rehearse a speech, Arlen stalls
by saying, II wasn't able to work
that out so it sounded just right.
Why don't you read it once and
show me what you want?" So
the director will read it and the
actor will memorize it, and
chances are he'll repeat it per-
fectly on the first take.
DONE WITH DAIRY
Since hi smain job has been
SO easy and profitable, Arlen
naturally has turned to other
fields for his hard work and
worrying. Most of his outside
enterprises did fine until some
thing kicked them in the teeth.
There was q string of diaries,

Arlen was so mad he shut up the
whole business and walked out

also helped finance and build up
a big truck line which took quite

Lately there has been his fly

Arlen got into that through his

States, and I would like to sug-
gest that all clubs use defense
stamps for prizes.
After all, If you get a good
hand such as the declarer held
today, and then good fortune
aids you in making your grand
slam contract, it shouldn't be diff
ficult to take defense stamps as
payment in full for break like
this.
Declarer put the ace Of clubs
on the opening lead and cashed
the top diamonds to get rid of
the five of clubs. Then he took
the ace of hearts and ruffed a
second heart with the deuce of
spades. Having noted the fall of
the jack of diamonds previous
ly, he now led a low diamond
and ruffed out the queen. A
third heart was led and ruffed,
West discarding a club.
When the hearts failed to
break, the contract looked hope
less. But South led the ten of
diamonds, because If he could
cash that trick, he could win the
rest by crossruff. But West
trumped the diamond. Luckily
for the declarer, he could not
force the ten Of trumps. Dummy
over-ruffed with the seven.
Then another heart ruff with
the ace Of trumps established
the two long cards. South's last
trump was overtaken with dunn

last two trumps, and dummy's
hearts came In.
