But they didn't have mothers who
thought the job of motherhood their
most important job. Once upon a
time you couldn't give woman
higher praise than to gay she was
a fine mother" But when women
discovered that being a good moth
er wasn't enough, they lost interest
in being considered good mothers.
In fact you almost never hear
the phrase today, unless it is spok-

really successful woman, one who
excels, say, at the important bust
ness of entertaining, or who has
an enviable career, of who is a

Could all this have anything to
DO with today's juvenile Delinquent
cy problem? The time element is
just about right, isn't it?

der why in the past the prevailing
color was a mud : puddle tan and
why the styling was as glum as

The answer to that one is that
science obliges now with emulsion

Servicefolk Reciprocate.
Feeling of the servicemen and
women for the Masquers is ex-
pressed in their gifts of regimental
flags. Recently a WAC flag, deep
blue with white head of Minerva
on it, was the first women's service
flag presented. One aviation unit
from Gardiner Field was entertained
three times by the club. On the
eve Of exchange to a new post, their
colonel gave every member of the
club tiny pair Of silver wings. You
could probably buy them anywhere
for a dollar, but the meaning in
the simple gift touched every
man present. Bill Farnum wasn't
ashamed of his tears. Since then,
not a Masquer appears without his
silver wings.
When the gay evening comes to
an end, guests are given tickets for
their nights lodgings, are invited
back to breakfast Sunday morning,
before returning to their posts.

A New Frank Sinatra Greets His Press
JERSEY CITY.

JERSEY CITY.
Francis Wayne Sinatras jr, held
his first press conference one day
last week and, considering that he
was just 1s hours and 40 minutes old
at the beginning of it, the proceed
ings were handled remarkably well.
Of course, his fathers press agent
was there to handle minor details
like what pappy said when he heard
the news. how many times he called,
etc.
Well, his father wasn't there. CAS-
If everybody except reporters and
photographers didn't know The
nurses at Margaret Hague Maternity
Hospital here, where the junior
crooner and his mother are staying,
report that not a single ankle sock
has been seen lurking around the
pillars. Sinatra fans are persistent
souls, but when their light Of love
is in Hollywood making picture
they know better than to look
around Jersey City for him.
Omnipresent Press.
To get back to Francis, jr. Just
to get to him in the first place was
an event worth recording. He'll
probably see a lot of reporters and
photographers in his day, but his
first impression won't be quite ac-
curate About 20 photographers and
reporters stumbled in upon him to-
day, tripping occasionally over the
starched white coats with Medical
Staff" embroidered on the sleeve,
into which each sone slipped his
germ-laden person before being ad-
mitted
Junior ignored the affair in COM
pletely bored manner, occasionally
raising fist above his head, not in
q menacing way, but not altogether
cheerfully, either. Once he smiled,
or at least that's what an excited
photographer shouted. It cannot be
verified, however, because his camera
became entangled in his vestments
at that moment.
Junior looks like a baby. He
sounds like baby. He's partly red
and partly pink. He has a limited
quantity Of dark hair and is said
to have blue eyes, but they were
not displayed today. He weighs 8
pounds and 13 ounces.

There's Tresselt in every major

job clearing rights to songs Ion,

aging before their time.
Those Extra Features.
The value of song to the movies
is determined largely by the use
made Of it. A phrase of some tune
used merely for background music
carries a nominal price tag. II
costs lot more If bands shown
playing it. That's called a visual
right. 1t costs still more If it's
sung and reaches a top price if it is
featured in a picture, that is, with
soloist and band.
In many cases the movies have
played fairy godfather to publish
ers and authors by taking old songs
and reviving them to a popularity
greater than they experienced origi-
nally. Thus Tin Pan Alley not only
gets its movie royalty but a fresh
burst OF sales in sheet music, re-
cordings, etc.
One Of the strangest deals on
record was that between Warner
Bros. and the publishers of "As
Time Goes BY" The song was
written IA years ago by one Her
man Hupfeld. It enjoyed only a
moderate success. In searching for
a theme song to be used in Casa
blanca" some one suggested "As
Time Goes By"
The Warner music department
checked and discovered the song
owned by Harms, Inc, a subsidiary
OF Warner Bros. So, the studio was
placed In the peculiar position of
paying itself for its own songs. GAS

The turtle set" offers a dropped
living-room effect, with a complete
kitchen and bedroom. Water runs,
ice cubes freeze and the electric
stove cooks.
Showgoers noticed, too, that cut
away sections of the rooms-which
permit the audience to see what's
doing-also are attractively unusual.
For instance. the stage line of the
bedroom at the footlights-raised-
has a curved edge, while the kitchen
has a square, straight front.
The scene is a woman's scene
and needs voluptuousness." CLANCY
explained. For that you must have
curves. A kitchen is a mechanical
room at best, and the straight.
square effect cannot be avoided-it
actually helps"
The dozens of tricks worked out
for the Alfred de Liagre, jr., produc-
ton fit the comedy in glovelike
fashion. With only three charac-

two for most of the show-Chaney
