NEW YORK.
If only we could believe the mes
sage of "The Moon Is Down."
The John Steinbeck play would
have us think that beneath the
barbaric heart of a Nazi colonel
turks a gentle spirit that positively
hates to bump OF innocent civilian
hostages. And that Nazi soldiers in
conquered territory are most un-
happy because the stubborn resi-
dents refuse to love them. If Mr.
Steinbeck will forgive me, this is
one big heap of nonsense.
That much-heralded play, drama
tized by the author from his best
selling book, proved a disappoint-
ment to this reviewer. The idea
was good, that free men can never
be slaves. But the message was
badly told.
The play opens in a small mining
village in an unnamed country that
Is obviously Norway. An unnamed
aggressor, obviously the Nazis, has
just moved in, aided and abetted
by the local Quisling.
The Nazi colonel, portrayed by
Otto Kruger, who was too gentle
and conscience-stricken to have
risen under the stern Hitler regime,
takes over the mayors house, and
the mayor-Ralph Morgan-and
promises that everything will be
hunky dory If only the people will
cooperate in the working Of the
mines for the benefit of the master
race. You are left to assume that
Germany is meant by this)
Civilization Fades.
The mayor, acting trifle ga-ga
(Which I thought was overdone)
tells the colonel that he can promise
nothing, that the people themselves
will decide for or against collabora-
ton. Whereupon, the colonel
launcbeS INTO many harangues on
how he remembers the last war
and that 1t is much better for un-
armed people to submit to tyranny
for their own sake, of course.
Well, it doesn't take long for the

trial that definitely lines up the
mayor with his people.
Things 60 from bad to worse, in
the course of which lonely Nazi
soldier is stabbed to death with
a pair of scissors by local female
who refused to understand that the
boy merely wanted platonic friend

many hostages are shot and the
final curtain sees the kindly old
mayor going off to the firing squad,
but not before he gets off the fare

was the best part of play that
seemed to have all the ingredients
for success, but somehow missed the
mark.
Abie's Rose Again.
Earlier in the week, Broadway was
treated to another play, Nathan the
Wise" in which the message, racial
and religious tolerance. is preached
with more effect than by Mr.. Stein
beck. Here we have kind, gentle
Nathan. Jew of the time of the
third crusades.
A Christian knight and Nathan's S
daughter fall in love. And if you've
listened to "Abie's Irish Rose" on
the radio, you can understand that
the path of true love does not run
smoothly. But it all comes out right
in the end with Nathan preaching
an end to war, arrogance and hatred.

Katharine Hepburn is anxious to

the Theater Guild, owner Of 54 per

profitable vein has been worked to
the limit. Too often, a play with

Broadway dates, comes to the big

Miss Hepburn and Mr.. Barry each

added advantage of allowing the

another movie with Spencer Tracy,

They're Not at All What They Seemed Ih
Predictions of Their Classmates About Stars Careers
Are Mainly Notable for Missing the Mark

she would be the first to marry.
She's probably the most famous
among Hollywood's new crop of
bachelor girls.
Because of her fair for fashions
and snappy dress, 1t was a certainty
that Rosalind Russell would be the
proprietor of a swank shop on Fifth
avenue. That was what classmates
in Waterbury, Conn, thought, any
way. The fact that Rosalind's
mother edited a famous fashion
magazine was another pointer in the
argument.
Dorothy Lamour was destined to
become the mother of 10 children,
her wise classmates predicted con-
fidently.
The class annual set it down in
printers ink that Robert Mont
gomery would become a country
squire.
Cary Grant never went to school
after Is. He ran away from home
in Bristol, England, to join q COM
pany of knockabout tumblers. As
sociates predicted he would some
day rise to the top in the acrobatic
sphere. Instead he quit to become
straight stage actor. And now he
hasn't nearly enough time to star
in all the pictures written for him.
Rita Unsuccessful?
Rita Johnson's Massachusetts,
schoolmateS, impressed by her singu-
lar inability to land any kind of a
role in school plays, opined that she
would be anything but an actress.
She leaves Hollywood shortly to at
tend graduation exercises at Wor-
cester, as guest of honor of the
senior dramatic class.
Rita Hayworth can have a quiet
chuckle to herself every time she
thinks back on that "least likely to
succeed" tag placed on her future
by schoolmates, probably because of
her shyness.
Edgar Bergen, the boys and girls
rightly said. was lad likely to be
heard from" And so he has been

Charlie Mccarthy.
And Andy Devine's fellow students
thought he had a chance to become

HOLLYWOOD.


June is not so far of and in a few
more weeks 1912 high school and
college yearbooks will be rolling OH
the presses. Between their covers
will be thousands upon thousands
of pert df not apD prophecies con-
cerning the future doings OF the out
going students.
How many such predictions hit
the mark? Very few, If we're to
Judge by a roll call Of Hollywood's
leading personalities. Yes, many
film favorites got into high school.
Some even went on to college.
A summary Of advance opinions,
made either in their school ANNALS
or by relatives and friends, indicates
that screen folks did a thorough job
OF crossing up the soothsayers.

that he was the least likely to marry.
Johns alimony payments refute that
prophesy.

day realizes the dance floor has yet
to be built which could Withstand a

Down on the Farm.
If Edward Everett Horton had
lived up to estimates of fellow stu
dents back in Brooklyn, he would
be sailing the seas today.
The editor of the Providence, R. l.,
yearbook rang the bell, for a few
months at least, in the case Of
Nelson Eddy. Mr.. Eddy, 1t was said,
would attain distinction as a tele-
phone operator. He actually did
hold down such q job at one time.
When Joan Crawford attended
school In Kansas City friends and
relatives insisted she would make
an ideal farmers wife. She did like
cows and chickens-then.
As schoolboy in England, Charles
Edward Pratt was tagged for the
undertaking profession. As Boris
Karlof he has achieved some sue
cess in making cinema undertakers
happy.
During her high school DAYS in
New York Jean Arthur won consid-
cradle renown as an amateur pho
tographer. There were many who
insisted she would become a prof.
cient professional. Today. Miss
Arthur is known first for her ability
as an actress, second for an aver
sion to being photographed.
Melvyn Hesselberg was slated tn
become a concert pianist like his
father. AS Melvyn Douglas, he is
one OF the busiest actors in Holly
wood.
Truck-Driving Gable.
Ironmongering was the trade held
open to Edgar Buchanan. He did
practice dentistry until movie char
acter work forced him to dispense
with molar repairing.
While attending South Pasadena
High School, William Beedle sold
fertilizer on the side. The year book
said he would become "the ace fer
tilizer salesman of Southern Cali
fornia." But Columbia nipped that
by changing his name to William
Holden and introducing him to screen
fans In Golden Boy"
In CadiZ, Ohio, 20 years ago, q

the canned milk formula to pas
teurized milk. always thought it
necessary to boil p~asteurized milk
three minutes but have been told
by a nurse that this is not neces
sary. Which is correct, please?
How long is it necessary to boil
nursing bottles and nipples? also
thought the scum which forms on
top during boiling is the cream. Is
this correct?
Answer: Pasteurized milk is
supposed to be sterile for all prac-
teal purposes and it is therefore
unnecessary to boil it. Nipples and
bottles should be boiled for three
minutes after the water comes to
a boil. The scum hat forms on the
surface Of boiled milk is protein
and not cream. 1t can be skinned
off without doing any special harm.

e the dietetic adj ustments which
must be made for the aged.
In the first place the total
amount Of food required is re-
Juced rapidly after the age Of GO.
From 60 to rs years the total cal
orje requirement is estimated as 10
npr cent less than in youth and
middle age For those over rs it
would be 20 per cent less.
There are certain elements in
food which old people probably
need more Of than would be indi-
Gated by their weight and by the
fatal food intake. Protein, that is
TO say meat, eggs and milk, should
he kept at least as high as that of
sSouus person.
Digestion Poor
The digestion of elderly people
is poor and their absorption of
minerals and vitamins is often not
as good as normal. They are in
clined to show deficiencies of cal
cum, phosphorus, iron and iodine.
Calcium can be found in milk,
which brings US back to our origi-
nal statement that the diet Of old
age should be the diet of infancy.
Cheese is also a good food for
elderly people because it is easy to
digest and rich in calcium.
MIX is a poor source of iron,
and in the aged. iron should be fur
nishcd and, in fact, pushed in the
form of green vegetables and fruit.
Sea foods contain iodine.
The diet may contain plenty of
vitamins. but it is notorious that
vitamin deficiencies can come from
lack of absorption and in the diet
of the aged there should be espe-
cial care on he part of the dieti-
tan to see that the vitamin con-
tent is high.
