After the construction work is
concluded, the last bit of sanding
and shellacking over and done with,
and the desired weighting of the
limbs through the use of three diff
ferent kinds of wood (mahogany,
plastic and the very hard kind used
in billiard balls) achieved, then his
trionic operations begin.
Bill, who writes the hair raising
dramas which all hard-working
puppets go through explains: THE
words aren't nearly as important in
these sketches as the pantomime
that has to be written in" Con-
versely, the vocal parts which are
taken by the puppeteers are harder
to manage than the manipulation
of the fish line controls
To make the mimicry seem al
most human, Cora claims, you have
to feel as though you are the char
acter the puppet is to initiate. Even
though Bill and I are back of the
puppet stage and no one can see
us we go through wild facial con-
tortions."
The puppets do war work just as
other actors do. When the co-or-
dinator of inter-American affairs
was thinking over the best means of
demonstrating the vegetable eating
habits of this country to South
America he got a marionette troupe
from the Bairds to do it.
An educational movie is in the
works now. with the puppets sput-
tering in Spanish and Portuguese.
Puppet is the general term for
the whole race of little wooden
people. Marionettes are puppets
operated by strings. Simple hand
puppets are favorites in military
reservations because the boys them
selves can operate them, so a whole
batch of these performers is being
dispatched by the Bairds complete
with scripts.
Before Cora disappeared into the
black velvet curtain that is part
of every marionette show she was
an actress. Bill always has let the
puppets front for him, but is stage
wise after years with Tony Sarg.
For three years he was in charge
of building the balloons for the
annual Macy Thanksgiving pa
rade, and during the Chicago
Worlds Fair he and Cora went on
their own for the first time, doing
10 shows a day with three troupes
of puppets to advertise meat and
groceries.

Dear Mummy: Daddy arrived
Tuesday morning and I had to chase
him all about town and finally found
him at Mike Romanoff's. He's fine,
but I see you haven't knocked any
sense into his head yet"
Lady Hardwicke's last screen ap-
pearance was modest part in For
ever and Day." the all-star picture
in which 80 British actors in Holly
wood participated without salary to
express their appreciation of what
America has done for England dur
ing this war.
You know, it seemed quite a sur
prise to Americans to find Cedric
taking the part of the plumber in
this picture-after all those naughty
ecclesiastical roles he's had. But in
England he has been clown more
often than clergyman"
Helena Pickard was playing in
repertory when she met Cedric Hard
wicke, who had the role of a whis-
kered farm hand. For three months
they had tea almost every. afternoon
between scenes. Then one day she
was to meet him outside for the first
time. While she was sitting at the
appointed place, young man,
clean-shaven and smartly dressed,
came up and spoke to her. She
hautily turned away, took another
look. 1t was her future husband
without makeup.
When she arrived in New York,
she went into an unsuccessful Eng
lish play, ''Flarepath" Now, due to
Equity rules about foreign actors
taking part in American productions,
she'll have to wait several months
until she can go into another play.

Two retired actresses, toasts OF
their day on both sides of the At
lantic, may appear again when
Charles B. Cochran, veteran theat-
rical manager, produces his caval-
cade of stars and songs, an elab-
crate wartime benefit, at Albert
Hall in June.
They are Lady de Frece, who as
Vesta Tilley was the most famous
Of all male impersonators, and
Mabel Love, first of the picture post
card beauties whose talents IL
Illuminated both straight plays and
musical shows. Lady de Frece is
70 years old, Miss Love Is Ct. Both
are widows.
Both of them have been doing a
great deal of war work-to open
Warship weeks and wings-for- VIC
tory weeks, assisting at charity af-
fairs and lending a hand to SOL
diers' wives. Miss Love has her own
vegetable garden near her hotel in
Weybridge.
They just can't wear us out" "
Lady de Frece asserted. "We have
lived through four wars, seen five
rulers on the throne, travelled about
a lot, including highly gratifying
tours in America, and we keep
going all the time now. We are all
the healthier for it, think"
Lady de Frece lives in London,
but spends many week ends with
Miss Love. They never appeared
together on the stage. Now they are
the best of companions. They go
walking together, a couple of miles
a day not being unusual. Miss Love
still does the highest dive in the
swimming pool on the hotel grounds
and Is good golfer. She seldom
misses Saturday night dance at
the hotel.
In dress, makeup and point of
view they are modern, indeed, but
they like to speak of themselves as
victorians and they are homesick
sometimes for the flourish and fam
dango of old times in the West End,
in New York or in Chicago.
"The main trouble with modern
people," they agreed, 'is that they
take their pleasures sadly. Maybe
it's the war, yet we don't think it
is entirely because of the war. 1t

sketches have been shown at various
exhibitions in art museums.
Mia recalls that when she was
very young she often was put in
costumes that were not suitable for
the dance. For instance, when the
dance required many tiny steps, a
long, flowing gown would not be
right because the audience would
not be able to see the intricate steps.
'It kills the movement of the
whole dance" she said. So Mia de-
cided to try designing her own cos
tunes. At first she made small
pencil sketches; later she dabbled
with water colors, and these proved
such a success that soon she was
designing other dancers customes as
we'll as her own.

gay colors of our young days weren't

Lady de. Frece, who went on the
stage when she was years old, said
her career had brought her great
happiness. adding. II still am
happy"
Miss Love, not unhappy herself,
remarked that among her dearest
memories were those of having
starred in w. S. Gilbert's last opera,
"His Excellency," with music by
Ormond Barr, at the Broadway
Theater in New York. and her ap-
pearance with Robert Lorraine in

Provocation in Chunks.
Sharing major interest with the
Noel Coward season and John
Gielgud's all-star revival of Will
liam Congreve's Love for Love" as
the most important events on the
London stage, the new j. B. Priest
ley play, They Came to a CITY," is
a provocative chunk of philosophical
propaganda.
Owing much to Sutton Vane's
outward Bound" and vibrating
more than occasionally with over
tones of "The Lost Horizon" by
James Hilton, Priestley's play is not
true theater. It is a play of ideas
rather than of action.
The ideal community of the title
Is never seen by the audiences. 1t
is shrouded in the mists beyond
the parapet upon which the various
characters, hand-picked as to type
for the authors dramatic purposes,
await their turn to visit the para
disc.
The city is visualized through the
reactions of the characters, not all
of WHOM yearn for a better world.
The play bogs down at times in it's
own vague mysticality and there is
an incompleteness about the Uto-
plan conception.
In the authors own words, They
came to a city," "dramatizes what
is in the minds of most people at
present. 1t gives a cross section of
the British people in their attitude
toward the future The war doesn't
come into it, but it is the first play
that really deals with the present
and the future"
Sir William Beveridge, leading ex-
ponent of a better social security
scheme in Great Britain, said that
he thought Priestley's play was par
ticularly effective propaganda.
Sir William has found ready sec
onds, but a lot of them wish that
the propaganda was less patent.

The fact that girls more than
boys go for the film cowboy has
lot to do with his appearance. He is
slight in build, looks and is gentle.
To give you an idea of his weight
and build, Kay Aldridge, who is
