Now we have seen everything. In
sky-lighted Hollywood studio, con-
verted from garage, we watched
sculptor Yucca Salamunich mould
ing in clay his impression of a
girls voice.
The girl was film newcomer Liza
beth Scott. who just completed her
first starring movie, You Came
Along" for Producer Hal Wallis.
Miss Scott was sitting on a high,
backless stool near a window and,
after five sittings, she still thought
1t was all bit silly. AS a matter
of fact, we did toe. But it was the
studios idea.
Look, Mr. Sala-Mister L. Listen,
Yucca, she said. Il could have pos
ed for you by merely talking to you
on the telephone"
Yucca locked a little hurt.
I must Sc eXprashun on face"
he said. "You come here, we dis
gosS life, we dis-goss music, we dis
goss religion. 1 probe your mind.
] see what you have. You see?"
Miss Scott said she saw, but she
didn't lock too convinced.
TWO SIDES TO 1T
Yucca's mass of clay appeared to
be the nude, headless figure of a
kneeling woman, her back curved in
gracefully sweeping lines. That is,
It appeared thus on one side. The
other? That was something else al
together 1t was a series of fib-
rous finews, gracefully conjoined.
The vocal cords" Yucca ex-
planned. They sympolize the voice.
They are round. Why? Her voice is
round. They are strong and firm.
Why? Her voice is strong and firm.
1t sympbolizes the sex appeal. You
see.
Il guets So Miss Scott said. but
where is my head?"

Hear Mrs. Ku+z
At PauIus Home

Closing the years activities, mem
bers of Twice Told Tales met Mon
Gay at the home of Mrs. Don C..
PauluS to hear Mrs. Forrest Kutz
tell the story of Sir James Barrie's
"a Cloak with Beads" from the COL
lection "a Window in Thrums.'
Mrs. Kulz told with a Scotch
dialect the touching story of the
invalid Scotswoman whose only
view Of the small town in which
she lived was window. Through
the window she loved to watch the
townspeople, especially noting the
wcmen's clothes.
The most fashionable garment of
the time was a cloak with beads,
which was referred to as an Eleven
and a bits coat" because everyone
knew where the coats were pur-
chased and their exact price.
Though she could not wear the
coat and she and her husband could
lot afford to buy one, the lonely
woman longed for one. 1t was the
subject of endless discussions with
her husband, who insisted she had
40 use for it. The day finally came
when her husband, saying she was
the 'fbest seamstreSs in all Thrums"
brought home the material and the
trimming for the cloak. Because the
invalid knew her husband had given
up his small pleasures for months
to buy the material, it meant more
70 her than any of the ready-made
cloaks.
A potluck luncheon was served at
noon, followed by an afternoon of
bridge. Mrs. Kutz won first prize
and Mrs. Paulus, second. Pastel
spring flowers decorated the house
fer the occasion.
Those present were Mesdames
William Burke. Jr.. Earle G. Davis,
u. C. Diller, Laural Ferguson, For
rest Kutz,. Malcolm Macurda, Will
liam Pata, w. A. Tondro, j. d.

Scotland Yard Hunts
'DrucuIu Man in London

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 16.-Scotland YARD
hunted today for a ''DracEla Man
who repeatedly has terrorized North
west London by sneaking into bed
rooms by night and gripping women
and girls by the throat.
A dozen homes have been en-
tered thus far, the Daily Mail said
but no one has been seriously in
jured.
Each of several women reported
she awoke to find the intruder Is
fingers about her throat. One said
a string had been drawn tightly
around her neck, and another said
the man paused long enough to ask
for kiss.
The intruder is no common rob-
ber. He scorns valuables within
easy reach. Nobody has been able
to give good description of him
because he blinds his victims with
a f1ashlieht.
