NEW YORK-The opening night
~ of New York's opera season is a
great occasion, additionally splen-
did. There is no disposition to dim
it: the show is just as dazzling as
ever. even though the clothes worn
are less regal, or, If you like-not
less formal, but formal in differ
ent way.
AS usual, our speciality shop VIM
dows gave pretty accurate previews
of the opera audiences: IT is the
smooth. slim. or slinky dinner suit
that is chosen as very 1943. Skirts
are slim. slashed and escape the
floor - are even angle length.

not news. since early last winter
we all began seeing to 1t that we
were brilliantly dazzling creatures
and now 1t has become a habit.

is utterly frank. But the same boys
attitude toward the truth, when his
father Is concerned, is in striking
contrast. and for curious reason.
He almost never tells the truth If 1t
would discredit him. Indeed, he al
most never tells dad anything, If he
can help 1t. Dad is strict discip-
linarian. and long ago Gordon
learned that he couldn't trust him.
self to be free and aboveboard with
him. On more than one occasion
some innocent revelation about
himself had earned him scolding
or punishment.
A child who fears unjust punish
ment is forced to lie in self-defense.
Thus a simple question like. Did
you sift the aShes?" will bring an
untruthful affirmative answer from
Gordon. In spite Of the danger Of
being found out. he prefers to take
this chance.
Where a child Is in the habit Of
telling such falsehoods. 1t is I'M
likely that the parent will blame
himself for it. But he would be safe
in deducing that he may be too
strict and that his method Of deal
ing with the youngster should be
changed. If he can manage to bury
his pride and propose a new deal as
man to man. so much the better.
For example. he might admit
that he has decided he has been too
strict and that the boy. therefore,
is afraid to tell the truth.
There isn't child who couldn't
be flattered and rise to the occa-
sion. Children have a deep sense OF
fairness. When we show respect for
their personalities. rights. and
needs, they want to cooperate, they
want to be truthful and we will
have their confidence.

Russian Actor Is
Rewarded by
Film Role
BY TALBOT LAKE

A CTORS will do anything to act,
~ if they are all like Mikhail
RaSumny. This graduate Of the
Moscow Art Theater did not even
let a case of thrombosis deprive
him of the role Of Rafael. the agile
gypsy member of Pablo's guerilla
band in the picture version Of Err
nest Hemingway's For Whom the
Bell Tolls"
For nine months Mikhail cult
waited a stubble and wore filthy
clothes. These, of course, had no
bearing on his illness. But-when
two months ago the Bell" COM
pany went on location in the High
Sierras and this actor was told he
must jump from rock to rock. he
had real qualms. He figures he had
to cover about 80 individual rocks
in a chase sequence. He did not do
1t once. but many times. The tim
ing had to be just right, so re-takes
were m d e until Director Sam
Wood was satisfied.
After the jumping was over, this
Rafael had to wade through an icy
mountain stream. In some places
the water rose to his armpitS. Re-
takes were made Of this sequence,
as well.
Comparing Russians like himself
and Akin Tamiroff. with Gary
Cooper. the American hero in the
screens Bell" Mikhail said: THE
difference is Cooper plays himself.
We have to play others. entirely
different than ourselves. There is
another difference. too. For myself.
I think in Russian. When I hear an
order from the director in English,
1t comes to me in Russian. Then I
have to translate it. This means
that / have to be more deliberate
and certain of my lines. cannot
throw myself into the part. as it
were. / have to let myself work
gradually into the part"
Mikhail's latest visit to Manhat-
tan was also quite different from
his experience two years ago. Then
there was no expensive hotel. He
was lucky to have any sort Of
roof over his head and a can Of
beans was banquet.
Things did look bright In 1885,
when he came to the United States
for the first time, with the Moscow
Art Players. The Players finished
their engagement after three
months and returned to Europe,
and Mikhail was not among them.
for he had decided to become q
Broadway producer.
Two plays were all Mikhail could
finance. After that, for almost five
years. he got to know the feel of
benches in Central Park. But there
were always friends and acquain-
tances who would stake" him
when he most needed it. They
headed him for Hollywood in q
broken-down car they bought him.
Matters were even more adverse
IN Hollywood. Months went by
without work. He did meet some
more friends, important ones. this
time, since they are well estab-
lished in the film capital. Through
them he finally got one bit part,
just as he was about to head back
for New York.

Usually, it was not severe, but ex-
tremely uncomfortable, especially
when the parts became warm and

Then there would be pain. extreme

In my young school days, when
I sometimes had to walk several
miles to school. Like all boys, I
played and waded in all the snow
drifts and / would reach the school
with my boots or shoes wet and my
feet cold. After an hour or two
in q warm room, my toes and heels
would begin to itch and burn. I
would rub and kick the legs Of my
desk, and rub my feet together
to relieve this. I will not say how
many and what kind of sessions I
had with my teacher. because !
was SO restless and noisy.
Torture Boots
well remember one winter.
when my most glorious Christmas
present was q pair Of copper toed,
red-topped boots. which reached
almost to my knees. I played in
the snow all day, with those boots
wet and often full Of snow. Later
my toes and heels would become
swollen and very tender. Those
boots would be stiff and dry. and
the effort to put them again on
my feet would be torture: but !
would suffer any misery to get
them back on. I would kick on the
furniture and the base board. My
older brothers would reach over
my shoulders and pull and strug-
gle. would weep long and loud,
but I would not give up till I had
them on: then / kicked and rubbed
all day long and waded In more
snow and water.
The more one frosts his feet,
hands or ears. the more easily they
are affected. When ! began to
practice medicine, when q seven
mile horse and buggy drive meant
an hour or more exposed to the
bitter cold, suffered more frost
bites. Getting up at midnight and
putting on my shoes to 90 out to
see some child with the Group, was
pure martyrdom. But that was my
Job. so ! waded in the snow to get
to my buggy and with the buggy
floor and my blankets wet with
snow. would suffer more FROST
bites.
The advent Of the heated auto
mobile and the ending Of most
walking did awav with those
miseries. Now we must learn to
walk again. We cannot Jump into
an automobile or q street car, or
Q taxicab when we like. Due to
the rubber shortage, there are not
enough tires to go around. and we
