The Prices Are Swank
But Not This Club
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.
Sans joint, on the Bowery, is the
latest enthusiasm of night lifers who
like an occasional Summing party.
The entertainment is spontaneous;
any one who likes can get up and
sing, dance, juggle, wiggle his ears
or otherwise amuse himself, and
perhaps the customers.
There is a formal floor show, too,
but the real entertainment is the
place itself. 1t Is right in the Bowery
tradition, seedy, browling, run
doWn-looking, but the Bowery social
set can't keep up with the high
prices. A quart Of whisky set up
on the table costs $18, which is one
buck more than the same bottle

Margaret O'Brien, dramatic child

Temple, at the same age.
1t Is nearly 10 years since Shirley's
curls and dimples started her
toward her role Of queen Of the

Margaret, just turned Z, has her
own natural brown-black straight
hair, devoid Of permanents. Shirley's
famous handmade bobbing curls
were blondined, rearranged repeat
edly during the day. Margaret, with
her simple manner and appearance,
might be anybody's little girl, where
as Shirley was always the child
movie star.
A normal atmosphere surrounds
Margaret. Her mother and her Aunt
Melissa, both from the stage them
selves, regard acting as merely q way
of making a living.
Margaret has no bag Of tricks, nc

Margaret. too young to read well,
is taught her lines by her mother.
It's done casually
Shirley came to her career as a
star after several years Of work as
a pretty child In comedies, with the
attendant sitting around In casting
ofices, all prettied up and drilled to
impress casting directors. Margaret
got her frst role at 8, dramatic bit
In Journey for Margaret" and has
gone on from there.
Margaret's mother allows inter-
viewers to talk directly to the child;
Shirley's mother always took over

Mrs. Temples attitude was pro-
tective, inspired by fear that inter-
viewers might be too adult In their
questioning OF Shirley.
You might get the idea that I pre-
fer Margaret to Shirley; this Is moi

ion that the new issues will be re-

The stamps really desired are those
in homage to the fighting forces

on the front overseas.

Who's Excited 2?

It has been said that ali artists are temperamental. That may be true, but, certainly all temperament tai people are not artists. This question of temperament is an old one to be sure and one that has been greatly misunderstood. The fact of the matter is that everyone in the world is to a certain extent little odd in one or more respects.
 Tn the normal person living a normal life we call these things idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. In a person who occupies the public eye we term them temperamental- isms. A great musician who lets his hair grow long and has anti-so- cial ideas is looked upon with a sympathetic eye by Jane and John public as "Oh! All musicians are tIlc SdUlC, WIlhC C<aA yOu OA- pect ?" It is this attitude of the av- craze person that has created the gross Justification about artists.
 There is very sound reason why this falsifcation was spawned and nurtured till it assumed it's present elephantine proportions. A sound sociological and psychological req son. The age old farce of making light of someone else's faults and shortcomings to cover up your own. A very simple fundamental reason to be sure, but none the less vicious for all that.
 It is desired that this thumb nail explanation will cast differ ent light on a heretofore greatly misunderstood class of people. The artists and movie people; the sing CTS and dancers, etc., that are in the public eye; that stand spotlight ed for all to see should not be judged too harshly.
