Porcelain
Pot Shots
By Dick Smith

To begin with, your reporter
wishes it clearly understood that
his lack of masticators isn't to be
connected in any way with the re-
cent announcement of the draft of
fathers.
PORCELAIN COMES TO LIFE
In the past few weeks the To-
ledo Porcelain has emerged from
the quiet solitude of what was
thought to be an old mems home,
until the boys had reason to come
out of Information, to, among other
things, the pride and Joy of one
10-fingered Kapp. Leo appeared
at 6:30 the morning the first batch
of "Ptake's Beauties" reported for
work Possibly the anticipation Of
someone that would take orders
brought out the insomnia in him.
By all appearances Leo's absence
for a week wasn't as drastic as he
anticipated. The fact is the de-
partment advanced exceptionally
well under the deft tutelage of the
"busy little beaver"
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS
The Porcelain Unit party, held
on a recent Saturday, was quite d
success, according to the reports
picked up around the shop. Your
reporter, not being present, must
take whatever is told him and
judge accordingly.
There must have been quite bit
of the refreshments" left. 1t took
the keeper of the keg" three days
tc tear himself away. We under
stand that "cue-ball" Mitchell took
all the mazuma home with him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
did you say 35?" Yes, / said
35w Announcement comes of the
recent birthday celebration Of
clara the Clerk" We agree that
80 is reasonable age to stop at
and also humbly advise that par
ties of the type celebrated at her
home last week won't add to her
longevity.
There are number of individ-
uals who might or might not come

ANNUAL PICNIC

Gosh folks, let's hope this un'
seasonal weather eases up bit
because our annual picnic will be
froze out if this keeps up. BY the
way, the picnic will be held, Sun
day, September at Stop 16, Hill
Ave-, instead Of Vollmer's Park.
SICK LIST
Quite few of our people are
on the sick list again. Elsie Leon
hardt is in the hospital joining the
Scared abdominal league with ar
appendix doing the dirty work
Genevive Ciske is also in the hos
pital, while Louis Ward is home
nursing a broken pedal digit (toe
to you). Here's wishing all Of you
a speedy recovery.
HILL BILLY

billy gal has bought 20 acre farm
She reported that it "sure seems
swell to squish-squash around the
barnyard in my bare feet again.
Ant-eater Miller - Look pal
how many points did that ice
cream cost you, Walter? None OF
my business. Well, that's one way
of getting your meat.
Pleze Eddie, what's the idea OF
taking the good looking gals of
the second shift and putting them
on the first? Could it be possible
that there is a little wolfing going
on?
To Rose - When you get those
hot tips, how's about letting us in
on them.
Ilo Riley who was injured re.
Gently in an automobile accident
is still absent from work. Get well
soon, Ilo, we miss you around the
shop.
It's really swell to set up that
trust fund for our boys now in
the services. We will work hard to
get out production not only to
show our appreciation; but to get
the boys back with US as soon as
possible.
Don't forget to turn in your
slogans
Remember, if you want a voice
in your government, you should
register and vote in the fall cleo
ton. After all, we have one of our
own men running for council, and
if we can't elect him we had bet
ter hang our heads in shame. Be
seeing you next week.

efforts to follow the moral trends
of the country
One of the most popular actresses
is not an Indian at all but an
Armenian girl born in India. She
is Sabita Devi and she lives with
her mother in Bombay, where two
thirds of the Indian pictures are
turned out. She had to learn
Hindustani before entering pictures,
but now speaks it so we'll that few
of her fans know she is not Indian,
she says. She writes poetry in her
spare time and has enormous black
eyes which she says she uses to sug-
gest kisses on the screen. She never
goes out without dark glasses and
is Garboish in her penchant for
privacy. She wears the Hindu red
dot on her forehead and the usual
sleek -draped saris in her pictures,
but favors Western clothes off the
set.
American movies are very popular
with the modern, English speaking
Indian. But there are millions ur1-
able to understand English plus
many who refuse to see foreign
films because of nationalist reasons:
They provide the Indian movie with
a profitable market. Most of the
film companies deal with Hindu
subjects in their pictures and are
run by Hindus, but, smart business
men, they take pains to avoid
offending the Moslems-for the
Moslems are good customers, they
say.
In addition to Hindustani, films
are made in Tamil, Bengah, Marathi
and Telugu. All Of which, I was
assured can be nodded into the
proper poetical dialogue to suggest
kisses when necessary.

Whiskey' Had Ideas

Paramount was having cat trou-
bic this week-$14.500 worth of cat
trouble, according to the hurried es-
innate Of an angry business man
ager trying to keep a ghost movie
titled "The Uninvited" moving In
spite of a stubborn feline that re-
fused to act
The cat, Whiskey by character
name, is a member of the films cast,
along with such important and we'll
behaved players as Ray Milland,
Ruth Hussey, Donald Crisp. Gail
Russell, Barbara Everest and Cor
nelia Otis Skinner. 1t is a bona fide
ghost story and Whiskey is used
as sort Of spook barometer. He
indicates the whereabouts of unseen
presence by bristling and Kissing.
But 1t was a much simpler situa-
ton that Whiskey insisted on
fumbling. All he had to do was
permit himself to be lifted out of
basket by Miss Everest, while Ray
ana Ruth stood by admiringly, then
escape from his captor's arms and
dash around hallway into a
kitchen.
For five nerve-jangling hours,
Whiskey didn't feel in the mood
for dashing. Various individuals
stationed behind the camera, in
cluding the producer, Charles Brac-
kett, and the director, Lewis Allen,
called, kitty, kitty . pretty pus-
sy!" till their throats ached. Whis-
key just ignored them.
At 1880 pm, Director Allen ran
hand through his hair and
screamed: "Why am I here? That
cat is going to direct the scene any
way. I'll see you all after lunch
or will II"
Milland looked with deep disgust
at the cat, now purring serenely in
the basket, and made a suggestion.

well, why not put a glass of soda
under his nose and drag it down
the hall. There should be a natural

fast pace against magnificent set

Miss Fontanne's performance
equals Mr.. Lunt's. AS matter of
fact, it is always difficult to tell
which of the two is best. They make
almost the perfect team and their
preparations for play are far more
rigid and extensive than the public
knows.
Often, during rehearsals, they will
remain on the stage long after other
members of the cast have left going
over their roles. Side by side they
will interview. as many as 200 thes-
plans, listening to parts read over
and over again into mornings small
hours. They take an active direc-
ton in all phases of their produc-
tionS.
Many are the stories told about
this pair and, in looking over the
files, I am reminded of a few:
Lunt sometimes calls his wife

calls her Lady Bountiful complex. >

On opening nights Lunt is con-
| vinced his performance will be ter
rible, the play a flop. Miss Fon-
| tame assures him he will make his
greatest hit, has encouraging re-
ports relayed constantly from all
possible sources.
One night in Chicago, when she
was playing Caprice" she lost her
step-ins on the stage. Without a
pause or change of expression, she
kicked them under a sofa-and the
audience didn't laugh. But on an
| other occasion, in Newark, she
turned to point dramatically at what
was supposed to be a portrait Of a
bearded man only to find instead
another entirely different picture.
She laughed and the audience
laughed with her.
Lunt is a fine cook One night
Charlie Chaplin and Noel Coward

were appearing. Afterward Cow
ard invited Chaplin to supper. He
took him to the Lunts' apartment

down handsome tip. Coward had

Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne
folded their tent on THE Pirate
tonight, closing another of the many
successful plays in which they have
appeared together. -.-.,s, ...az
First off, they are going back to
work on their 100-acre farm in
Gennessee Depot, Waukesha County,
Wis. which they have under heavy
cultivation. From now on, plans are
indefinite. They are talking about
going to London later for series OF
plays, the proceeds of which would
go to the war effort, or, failing in
that. to make a personal-appearance
tour of some of the battle zones.
In any event, Americas foremost
acting couple expect to be back on
Broadway next season In new
production, which will extend the
remarkable record they have estab-
lished in the theater since they first
appeared together in The Guards
man" back in 1924.
During all this period, the nearest
approach they have had to failure
was in S. N. Behrman's Meteor In
1929. That play ran 96 perform
ances, two more than the commonly
accepted number to be regarded as
a mild success.
Among the plays in which they
have excelled were Strange Inter
lude," The Doctors Dilemma"
Caprice" idiots Delight Am
phvtrion 3d." Design for Living"
and There Shall Be No Night
In the last-named play, which was
written by Robert E. Sherwood and
ran two years on the road in addl-
ton to the New York season, Lunt
had what he regards as his best
role. that of the Finnish professor
caught in the complexities and hor-
rors of war.
"Once in lifetime you come
across stage part, character
such as you would like to be" Lunt
remarks. For me that was DR..
Valkonen. He had everything
courage and intellect and wisdom
and humor and tolerance and gen.
tleness. Of all the characters 1 have
played, he is the one l Woulu IKE

Certainly, it is one of the most
serious roles he has done, and OF

His work in the comic extravan-

may also be ranked closely with ms
best accomplishments.

not have to worry financially for
a while.

Indian movies are more than twice

used to go four hours till the gov

Social problems, too, are delved

War as a theme is not popular
But the war has doomed the movie
business (now eighth among the
country's industries) because of the
money it has put into Indian pock-
cts. India's $50 film companies all
are working full time and many stars
are working in two or three pictures
at once.
The cost per picture is far below
that in America-on the average
only about $4,000. One reason is
that the stars are not paid nearly
as much as the Hollywood constella-
ton. Here the average male salary
runs from $500 to $1,000 a month
and the average female salary from
$500 to 81 1,500.
