Lucille Ball seems to be Holly
woods idea of an actress. The tall,
tempestuous Lucille is now before
the cameras in the role of q stage
or movie star for the seventh time.
This sequence began some years
ago when she played with Jack
Oakie in two pictures of the Anna
bel" comedy series. Typically, Lu-
cille went at it so hard and gave
such a satiric characterization of
film actresses that the producers
called off the series.
But other actress roles came to

In her early childhood, Lucille's
mother, a concert pianist, had at
tempted to have her trained for the
same career, beginning at the age of
5. She had no talent and no inter-
est in music; she wanted to go to
dramatic school. But a year at the
John Murray Anderson Dramatic
School in New York ended in an
other defeat. Anderson felt he
couldn't honestly take her money
any longer.

puras appeared, 1 realized that the
little ornament symbolized Jan Kie-
pura and his wife, Marta Eggerth.
Despite their world wide success,
in operas, films and concerts, the
Kiepuras have remained two quiet
modest persons. All they want of

much as they can, to live quietly as

The Lens = Brush.
When the beauty contest people
think Of their commodity in terms
of critics and their association with
loneliness, they overlook one OF the
most amazing things a critic knows
about movie beauties. 1t is that
many Of them come of much better
on the screen than they do when
you are looking at them, say, In q
studio commissary. A good movie
cameraman Is an artist who
paints" his subjects, using lights
instead of pigments. When one en-
counters the natural version, it is
likely not to be the same thing
at all.
In fact, this department recalls
an experience which illustrates how
easy 1t is to become confused as to
who actually Is who In real life. 1t
was dining one day at Warmers
commissary with the studios Car
lysle Jones, veteran of 4 decade
in that lunchroom.
Who would you like to see this
afterDoon?" Mr.. Jones asked.
We said we thought it would be
nice to see Margaret Lindsay, who
used to be an old Washington girl.
There she Is now" said Mr..
Jones, looking across the commits
sary, well catch her on our way
out"
so 1t is" We said, following MIR.
Jones glance across the room.
We were both wrong. The girl
turned out to be Gail Paige, which
shows how confusing these cinema
beauties can be in real life. Or, per-
haps, how Indifferent to them and
their beauty one may get.
The question probably arises: Why
don't critics just say they won't
judge beauty contests and let 1t 20
at that?
Sabotage for Defense.
The fact Is they do say no, but
it is not accepted, or through some
suhterfuge, the no Is negated.
AS reprsal for that treatment
Of their mos" to such a request, two
critics in q certain large, nameless
city still cherish an act of sabotage
they accomplished a few years ago.
Arbitrarily, without having seen
any of the contestants. they decided
they would vote for No. IA. More
over, they would electioneer for
No. H.
When the contestants filed by in
their bathing suits, the beauty con-
test grand march costume, they
turned to their respective neighbors
and opened the act.
Look at No. a." they said in
awed whispers. Look at No. a."
their neighbors began to whisper,
until every judge but two had Ne
IA firmly fixed in mind.
No. IA won, too, much to the
satisfaction of the faithless judges
who decided later that she was
about the 23d most beautiful girl in
the contest
Perhaps some day. about 2043, 1t
will dawn upon beauty contest
people that critics have neither the
technical skill nor the sense of re-
sponsibility to qualify as beauty
judges.
But don't bet on it.

Rogers training, Lucille's personal
life began Strengthening out, too.
For = time all her romances, and
there were = couple Of serious ones,
ended in blowups. But as her sure
ness OF touch in her work increased
there was less temperament.
Her struggle for recognition was
crowned with real success when she
went back to the Broadway that
would have none of her and made 4
hit in Hey Diddle, Diddle." This
boosted her Hollywood stock, too,
and she got a plum role in Stage
Door" and then in TOO Many
Girls" The latter film brought her
romance, too, for she played oppo-
site the Cuban star, Desi Arnaz, and
this time there was no blowup. They
were married, and she donned the

I decided TO try out an act at q

all right, so we did 1t again, adding
some new business and new stunts.
L wanted to provide some enter
tainment for the men In uniform,
and, inasmuch as I don't sing or
dance, thought few acts of magic
might be as good as anything else,
The mercury wonder show Chats
what he calls the enterprise) grew
out OF that beginning. We thought
some Of taking it on a tour of the
camps. but there are thousands of
servicemen roaming the Los Angeles
and Hollywood streets looking for
something to do. so we decided to
stage 1t right here"
The show, of course, Is free to
servicemen and their girl friends. A
small section has been set aside for
civilians, who pay their way in-at
$3.50 per chair. The proceeds help
to cover the expense, Welles said,
but don't come anywhere near
doing it.
The thing is rugged up like 4

in flamboyant circus signs. One
of the largest announces that
"Orson the Magnificent" Is to bs

audience participation. There are
usually few big Hollywood names
in the paid section and welles de-
lights In making them look silly with
his feats of mind reading and the
like. The show includes most Of the
old tricks and few devised by
Welles.
You remember the old standby
where the magician saws the pretty
girl in two? Well, Orson does that
to Rita, which strikes the service
men as being = great waste. and
then puts her together again to their
obvious relief.
Welles had his show in rehearsal
II weeks and expects to run 1t .
month or more in the circus tent.
Then, he said, he may tour the
