Miss Greenwood, who Is taking
Bob Hopes place on the air
while the ski-nosed comedian is va
cationing, lives in a big house in
Beverly Kills. She doesn't make
much of her swimming pool or
tennis court, but no visitors escape
without looking at the Canadian
Fir tree In her front yard.
"It changes color every day."
Miss Greenwood explains proudly.
And when she Is through talking
about the tree, husband Martin
Broones, who keeps vii the family
statistics and dates filed IN his
mind, tells you how old the tree
Is, how 1t got there and how 1t runs

Life with Charlotte" will probably
precipitate nostalgia for those who
were around when 80 Long Lettie"
played for four years, followed by
'Linger Longer Lettie," and Lean

For those who weren't around,
these musical comedies swept the
country on a painted rocking horse
while Miss Greenwood, whose legs
are very long and look longer than
they are, stared wide-eyed at an
audience that howled at her antics.
After the "Lettie" series toured
the United States and Canada,
Miss Greenwood went to Englond
where she was headlined as the
first American comedian to star
on the English stage. Her perform

Hollywood

NEA staff Correspondent

Americas No. showgirl, Beryl
Wallace, yoo-hooed at the waiter:
"And save me q piece of that
banana cakel" The waiter nodded
as If h"d already made a mental
note Of 1t.
Not knowing Miss Beryl Wallace;
we were o little startled. After all,
she had her figure to watch. And
the banana cake was just a chas-
er. She already had ordered a
shrimp cocktail, chicken pot pie
and salad.
In fact, 1t was all quite startling,
this having date at noon with a
gal who works half the night. We
didn't know her set was up at that
time. Or had even gone to bed yet.
1t was even q little early for us.
We hardly had our ears open yet.
But this Beryl Wallace, the
queen Of Earl CAROLS runway
nudists at his lavish Hollywood the
alter restaurant, does the darndest
things.
s"1'm always UP by o'clock
In the morning." she said. "And I
always eat lot. I work 1t off. !

I do two l5-minute radio shows and

the boys at the Hollywood Canteen
on Sunday afternoons. take four
dramatic lessons a week, dancing

between shows help entertain SOL
diers at the Masquers Club. And
then I work in pictures. Why, I
practically knock myself out"
NUDITY Is OUT
But didn't she make enough money
just parading around minus her
clothes at CAROLS?
yes, but I love to work. I don't
want to be film star--some OF
the stars know are very unhappy
Il just want to be a good perform
er What was that crack about
parading around without any
clothes?"
"we-l-l-l," we welled, I'VE had
heard rumors."
THAT was last year." Beryl
said. "The Carroll girls are wear
ing more clothes than ever this sea-
son. It's a new trend. Lots Of clothes
but lower cut with split skirts. Why,

the best coach In town." Berry
said. when I heard she taught
Peter LORE how to speak eight
pages OF dialog In English when
he didn't know any English at all,
knew she was the one to help
me lose my Brooklyn accent"
You gotta give Beryl Wallace a
lot Of credit. For girl who went
to work at minding babies In
the Brooklyn slums to help sup
port her family, she's doing all
right.

Versatile Les Tremayne recently
saved the morning at the Dreft

that it shows that they are be-
coming more sophisticated, more
demanding in their associates.
Youngsters should also recog-
nize that fickleness is not only
the best insurance that they can
take out against making a mar
riage OF which they are likely to
tire. 1t also makes them immune
to the pangs of jealousy and
kindred sentimental complica-
tions that cause much suffering.
For as long as they can be of
with the old love and on with the
new as easily as they can change
their hats, cupid can only scratch
their hearts, he cannot break
them.
This may sound like cold ad-
vice and as if I were advocating
f1ckleness. So I am among the
young. I believe that changing
partners is the proper dance for
girls and boys in their teens, and
that they make a great mistake
when they indulge in the perni-
cious practice of what is COM
monty called going steady" and
tie themselves down to Just one
sweetie. That narrows their field
OF vision. 1t keeps them from

with other lads and lassies and
having chance to shift their
affections to some one who will
come nearer to their hearts de-.
sire. I think that boys and girls
should shop around and look
them all over before they make
their choice.
If they did it would take care
OF the tickle problem both before
and after marriage, for none Of
us tire of the thing that comes
up to our ideal, nor are we un-
faithful to those whom we really
love.
Evening star., 1944-03-05

A group Of school girls and
boys are debating the age-old
question of which sex is the more
tickle, and they want to know
what think Of the matter. .
Well, I think that fickleness is
not a matter of sex, but of the
individual temperament. Also, it
is an indication Of development.
Adolescents outgrow their tastes
and desires in people just as they
outgrow their clothes, so that the
boy or girl with whom they
thought themselves madly in love
in June bores them to tears in
December.
That is the eternal, unanswer-
able objection to early marriages.
To this column come thousands
Of letters from unhappy men and
women who have fallen out of
love with their wives and hus-
bands and in love with others,
and practically every one of them
starts out with: Il marrier when
was too young" 1t is not that
these miserable men and women
are of unstable character and in
capable of a deep and abiding
passion. 1t is just that they have
matured and want something
more in their mates than they
did in their salad days.
Ninety-nine times out of
hundred the philandering hus-
band and the unfaithful wife are
not the result of fickleness, but of
natural development. One went
on to higher things. The other
stayed put. And it was an evolu-
ton of personality that neither
one could change or stop.
So boys and girls should not
regard f1ckleness as a defect
either in themselves or the op-
posite sex. They should look
upon it as a virtue and realize

Here's Your Hat!-
BY Evelyn Hayes

The other day we were sitting
at lunch when in came a platter
bearing three orders Of orange
cream pie. Outside of the fact
that 1t set our taste buds a-work-
ing and that we admired the
lovely color in passing, that was
that as far as we were con-
cerned. However, we are not a
millinery designer, and though it
may have been just a passing
fancy to me, it was inspiration
for Walter Florell, who was
lunching with us. He exclaimed
about the beauty of the color
and then Immediately started
sketching on the tablecloth the
outlines of silly little number
that will probably be called
orange souffle.
Whether it's orange souf,le or
a sunset that inspires him, this
smart young millinery designer
certainly is color genius. For
that reason we asked him If he
had any color rules that would
help you and me to be more
beautiful. He replied, Color is
like music. You can't set rules
for either" However, he thinks
many women make mistake in
trying to match colors, that they'd
do more for themselves if they
took lesson from Nature and
tried to blend colors. Certainly, a
lovely garden is the epitome of
beautiful blended colors and, as
Mr.. Florell pointed out, one never
feels that red rose should be re-
moved because 1t is near yellow
jonquils.
If you're sophisticated wom-
an and there's a Man in your Life,
you'll want a hat by Laddie
Northridge. He is millinery de-
signer who has achieved fame
for the magificent hats he
makes for the sophisticated wom-
an. They're hats designed by a
man to please men, because he
believes every Eve should dress
to please her Adam. His partic-
ular forte is flattery and he can
do things with colors that would
make rainbow sit up and take
notice. However, his color COM
binatlons are always subtle
rather than startling. Two-tone

with plum color straw braid 70

1t is always a pleasure to those
of us in the lower brackets to meet
and be greeted by a person recog-
nized for his gifted knowledge and
brilliancy Of the profession he fol-
lows. We were so honored the
other day, we hold, and we feel
rather proud and delighted with
our experience.
We refer to a chance meeting
with Waterbury's representative
on the superior court, the Hon
Frank P. McEvoy. We were on our
way to our work bench in the
plant, where we have been en-
ployed for so many years when we
suddenly ran straight into the
judge, walking from his home on
his way to his duties in the court
house. He stopped, extended his
hand, and greeted us SO graciouSly
that for the time being we were
beWildered. But not for long, for
the reception was most cordial and
gratifying, and we soon regained
our normal state. You see, we had
not seen Judge McEvoy in years,
even though we have tried to 'fol-
low him in the newspapers ever
since he was advanced to the high
court. AT the time of his appoint
ment years ago we were happy
and pleased when we read Of his
selection. He was born in Water
bury, and we have known him
since boyhood. We like people who
were born in this city of course,
and always have. He enjoy the adj

love to see them make strides, able
to compete with the best in the
land, and to bring honor not only
to themselves and their families,
but also to the city itself, and the
people who know him
Judge McEvoy, to our mind, is
an outstanding jurist. He appears
to be able to grasp the full mean
ing of the issues involved, and to
render a just decision from the
evidence offered, and the law in
the case. Intricate questions have
been raised in many instances, and
yet it always seemed to us he was
right in every memorandum hand
ed down. Once or twice he sat
with the Supreme Court, and once
or twice he disagreed with the
viewpoint Of his associates and
filed dissenting opinion, the Ian
guage of which always appealed
to us.
Our faith and esteem constitute
a real feeling of friendship and
loyalty to one we shall never for
get, whether on or off the bench.
We felt this way when he was a
practicing lawyer, a keen observer
and student of the law, whose
ability in the end was properly
noted and recognized, and the
State of Connecticut made the
better for it all.
We salute and hail our good and
thoughtful friend, Judge Frank P.
McEvoy May good health and
good luck follow him all through
life.
