THE STORY THUS FAR: Amos Croy

married and q SON, Homer, was born.
Sunday meant church, company for din
ner, and steer weight guessing. Dehorn-

ing Of calves and sausage making were
all part Of his work. The Croys attended
the Omaha Exposition, where Homer saw
his first horseless carriage, "hula" dane.

a newspaper. All my life I have
been like that-fearful when I have
entered new situation, gaining con-
fidence little by little as I accom-
plish some small bit. Some people
are supplied with great self-confi-
dence and seem never to have any
doubts. But not I. I don't think in
all my life have undertaken any,
thing that at first I wasn't afraid I
would fail.
How simple we were; how
green" If I had never been away
from home but twice, I am sure
many others hadn't, either. I am
sure that more than half were from
farms; the others from small towns
the ones I had once thought
of as "city people" But I was soon
to meet real city people. At my
table at the boarding club was a
boy from Brooklyn. I could hardly
get over staring at the strange crea-
ture.
There was the problem of earning
money, but it worked out better
than I had hoped, for I got a job
corresponding for the Kansas City
Star, and my St. Joseph paper. Then,
to my delight, I began to sell small
fry to the eastern magazines, such
as The Critic, The Circle, The Gray
Goose, Four-Track News, The b.
hemian, The Quill, and to The Bell
man, which was published in Min
neapolis. None of them survived my
efforts. But this work wasn't any
hardship, for I suppose one-fourth
of the boys had to earn extra mon
ey. The ways mostly used were
getting laundry route, driving a
bread wagon, or opening up trou-

Movable Type in 400

Johannes Gutenberg, "the IA

credited with the invention and

Yet such type had been made

the weird ups and downs that have

tell you the way was not smooth
for Woolley even before he became

combination, which has just culmi-

down the cutting edge of his acidu-
lous screen personality to a likable

his bite. But regardless of this, his
beard-that hated wind-wooing alfal-

the most salable feature of the Wool

Get Out of Ny Beard!

|
When Woolley once told me: "I'm
sick and tired of this printed drool
about my whiskers. For heavens
sake, Hedda, keep my beard out of
your typewriter! So far as the pub
! lie is concerned I've ceased to be an
actor or even a man with any per-
sonality. I'm just a beard now, and
in the future I want no more talk
of it'll fell for it head over heels.
Imagine, then, my surprise to find
"Molly and Me" featuring scene
one of the funniest in the pic
ture, incidentally - pitched entirely
around Monty's chin wool.
Then I learned he turned down
starring role in Colonel Efing-
hams Raid" because it called for
smooth face.
At the time Woolley became pro-
fessor of English at Yale univer-
| sity that seemed career worthy of
fighting for. In the suave superiority
of his classroom position Monty gave
deep thought to the finest nuances
of the language. Spoke his sentences
with elegance and precision.
But the theater was strong at the
! back of his mind and he asked for
the post of dramatic director.
George Pierce Bakers appoint
ment to the post precipitated Mon
tvs resignation. Brought on penni-
less and dispirited period in which
Monty appealed to his friends in the
theater. They didn't fail him; he
ended this phase by directing Fifty
Million Frenchmen," champagne
Sec," and "Jubilee"-no mean rec
ord. But his friends in Hollywood
we're directing pictures at plush sala-
ries. So Monty landed in movietoWn.
That Beard Again
Now the beard comes into the pic
ture once again. The beard got
Monty his first job in movies-a Rus
sian impresario. But Walter Connol-
ly-a fat man without beard-con-
tinued to get the parts Monty had
his eye on.
Monty turned back to the theater
for solace. Was on the eve of re-
turning to Broadway to direct an
other play when Moss Hart rang
him, asking him to play the lead
role in play called Strange Peo-
ple," if l remember correctly The
play turned out to be THE Man
Who Came to Dinner" 1t put the
Beard right in the bead of the spot
light. Hollywood didn't see him
again until Warmers determined to
make the picture with Bette Davis.
But Bette demanded him and got
him. Then goth Century got Monty
for 1.-The Pied Piper" signed him
to a long-termer out of which came
unique romantic team-the Oracle
Fields Monty Woolley combination.
These two invest an autumn love
story with sprig of spring.
"Why not?" shouts the veteran of
many bitterly fought artistic battles.
"All things being considered,
beard covers almost any facial de-
feet and in the long run makes its
wearer look younger. Yes, and feel
younger, too. So there!"

that a compromise will be reached providing
for independence as goal for trusteeship peo-
pie, but not for those in so-called strategic de-
tense areas, and not for those in the present
colonial system. This is very small step for
ward, but it is step and it does open the way
for continued agitation for independence for all
dependent peoples.
Nothing said here about colonies applies 10
Africa and India, the West Indies and the East
Indies Britain, France, Holland and Belgium
will continue as they have in the past. But so
much talk has come up about colonies and free
dom that it is plain to be seen that in the future
the moves for freedom will be speeded up rather
than slowed down Russia supports the propo-
sition that colonial people should be free to
work for independence China favors it. The
role Of Russia in world affairs from now on is
bound to be an important one, and her union
with China on this issue, bringing as it does a
sort Of coalition of Orientals against the West,
will make itself felt
Aside from the colonial issue (Which is tied
in with many powerful economic factors aside
from the human rights angle) II is important TO
note that there are several paragraphs which
offer minority groups within nations a chance
to bring their grievances to world attention. II
is likely that the Commission on Social and Eco
nomic Justice will be given power under the
charter TO call international conferences on vari-
Gus matters at which the people may speak.
Here the American Negro might we'll state his
case and if he handles it skilfully, may bring

The disappointing aspect of the conference,
from the viewpoint of the American Negro, has
been the aloofness and indifference of the Hal
tian, Ethiopian and Liberan DELEGATIONS Re-
cause they are nations, they are members of the
world organization, but they have not sought
the cooperation of American Negroes who are

enough political power to influence major

hope only for such statements as would enable
them to hold their country before the bar of
world opinion if those principles were violated
in fragrant manner.
The question of colonies Immediately took the
spotlight major item before the conference
because $50 million people live in colonies and
powerful Western nations depend upon the
wealth of colonies in order to live.
The American working paper" on trustee
ships and colonies which was used as basis
of discussion. went only so far as TO declare for
self government. China Immediately proposed
that independence be added as goal toward
which colonial people might work Russia sup
ported this but Britain, France. Holland were
opposed and were joined by America. These
imperial nations do not want to say that their
colonial subjects may aspire TO independence.
But the outburst of protest on the American
stand as announced by Commander Harold E,
Stassen was so prompt that the whole matter was
worked over again. AT this writing it appears
