we don't know In a little place hke
this"
Laura came home 10 dinner be-
fore driving back 10 spend the eve
ming at the hospital with her moth
er. She did her best to be entertain
ing and her best was very good in
deed. Laura had good brain and
used IL. She was really quite
pleased with everything. An opera
ton could not only put her mother
back where she had been, but
might do better than that No mir
acles were TO be expected, but when
Dr. Raynor was hopeful she knew
she had every reason to be. There
was a chance Of failure, OF course,
but II hardly entered her mind.
And DR.. Raynor was in love with
Anne. Anne had been his special
nurse. II put Anne in a new light
in more ways than one. II made
her understandable. II gave her a
background. II accounted for that
in her which had been a mainstay
in trouble and also that calm as
surance which had been most irri-
tating. And it was clear now that,
even IL Anne had played with Rus
sell, IT had only been playing.
So Laura talked charmingly Of
books and people and small-toWr
life. Dr. Raynor liked her as he
liked all intelligent girls. He had
no use for dull ones, no matter
how beautiful. He was in his best
mood, gracious, witty, sure Of him
self And even Anne had to con-
fess to herself she had never seen
him look handsomer. He compli-
mented Molly on her cooking and
Molly, once back in the kitchen,
danced with JOY. AS she told her
friends later in her little house on
a back street:
1T amt only WHAT ne said, but
the WAY he said it. An him the
handsomest man ever poked his
nose into this town. An a great
doctor, too In New York all the
society women lest runs after him
and begs him to cut EN- open"
After dinner Russell came in and
was introduced to DR.. Raynor.
They made fine picture As they
shook hands, but the doctor was
taller, broader OF shoulder and
handsomer. Russell was impressed,
as no one could help being.
Everyone has heard Of you. Dr.
Raynor." he said. Were proud to
have you with us"
Laura smiled. I'VE owe him as

An Authoritative Quotation

To support my claims quote, as
politicians say, from the largest
and most authoritative book on the
skin and its appendages in my Ii
brary. 1t has quite an exhaustive
chapter on gray hair. / quote it in
full;
"Graying Of the hair (canites)
although quite common is an I'M
explained phenomenon"
There is no endocrine product,
sndrogen, fungicide, sterone, ke-
tone. vitamin, coal tar product,
specific sulfonamide, penicillate,
electric machine, no form Of psy-
chotherapy, mind cure, diathermy,
bathing, exercise, prayer, incan-
tation, witch doctor, soothsayer,
massage, there is no barber, Indian
medicine man, travelling salesman
or insurance agent who can turn
your hair back TO its original color
if you begin to gray.
A dye, or a rinse, will do 1t, and
there / rest my case. That is al
most all ! have TO tell my little
elias. Of adults in the facts Of life
Or almost all.
There is one practical thing r.
be said. II you could turn your
hair from gray back to its original
color, or to some other fancy color,
you would not gain any new
friends. Your husband or your wife
might still love you and your chill
dren; maybe your grandchildren,
if they can keep from laughing.
But nobody that you have just
met is going to be attracted to you.
In fact, just the opposite. They
will regard you with suspicion.
Your hair will not match your
face or your memory.
A Lonely Man
II Ponce de Leon had succeeded
IN his quest, and had returned to
Spain, he would have been the
loneliest man in Europe. Even in
modern Florida he wouldn't have
made any friends except among
che queeros.
Since we are close 10 the cele-
bration of the most beloved Of all
saints, it might be worth while to
point out that Santa Claus is en-
deared in our hearts largely be-
cause Of his gray hair. And never
heard anybody, except Monty
Wooley himself, wish his beard
would turn brown. In fact, rumor
hath it that certain sinister forces
in Hollywood who have some
money invested in the motion pic
ture industry have employed q
man who bears a strong resem-
blance to Robert Benchley t. fol-
low Wooley around and prevent
him from going into beauty par
lors that make a specially Of dy-
ing hair.
II would be q great tragedy b
Santa Claus and Monty Wooley
and the public generally if by some
rare chance their hair and boards
were to turn back TO black or
brown.

ready. Why didn't we give it a
try?
II was challenge of things
to come in this world Of tomor-
row everybody is talking about.
So, With pad and pencil and
wearing a nice blue suit, silly
grin and lips painted brown, we
made our debut in telcvision on
channel 4-78-84Mc-Station
W6XYZ, Television Produc-
tons. Inc, Hollywood, Calf.
1t was lots of fun, too. Espec-
tally when the very trim legs
of Preston Sturges cute little
secretary, Jean LaVcll, also
made their debut in television--
by mistake.
The program read: "8 p. m.

cause of the lights, lined up the
cameras, warned everybody to
keep it informal" rearranged
the sets and the lights and the
cameras.
There were two cameras. One
for closeups, another for long
shots. There was a big green
light on each camera to let us
actors know we were on the
air. But don't look into the
camera" Landsbcrg warned,
unless you're talking directly
to the audience"
KEYNOTE, SPONTANEITY
There were also two sets. For
our interview with the lovely
Miss Lynn, there was a living
room-tWo big wing backed
chairs and a coffee table beside
a prop fireplace. We would sit
in the chairs and talk "juSt like
you were at home" Landsberg
said. On the other side Of the
studio, Preston Sturges was GO
ing to sit on a little stool so he
could work a stereopticon ma
chine with scenes from his pic
ture.
There would be no rehearsal,
no script, Landsberg sai d.
"Spontaneity and informality
are the secret of tclevision."
The "test pattern" with the
recorded music went on the air
for a half hour. This test pattern
gives the audience time to tune
in and for the station TO check
the transmission. For this first
half hour, LandSberg turned one
Of his cameras on a little card,
giving the call letters of the sta
ton. II was then that the shape
ly legs of Preston Sturges cute
little secretary, Miss LaVeH,
made their debut.
Unaware that Station W6XYZ
was on the air, the young lady
walked right between the cam
era, which was close TO the
floor, and that title card. Every
body went. "Oh-h-h-h." and
LandSberg CRASHED his teeth.
The young lady blushed and
then almost knocked over
panel of lights in her confusion.
If you were tuned into W6XYZ
that nigh. that's the answer TO
the sudden appearance of the
beautiful legs.
About this time young lady
pushed Diana and your reporter
into those wing backed chairs
beside the fireplace and the
sound man gave us q cue.
