She told about how hard she had
been working to get an understand
ing of her role of Katherine in "a
Goose for the Gander." 1t is a part
that calls upon a wife to maintain
running romances with three men
at once in order to win back her
husband from gay young thing
who calls him Pumpkin"
Il want to make the part of the
wife real" Miss Swanson said.
She told about the time she
played the role of the tender and
lovable Mrs. Dewey in J. NJ Barries
THE Old Lady Shows Her Medals"
Miss Swanson must have been Won
derful as the old lady who adopts
a soldier she can have for her own,
like those the other ladies have.
MY daughter saw me in the
part" Miss Swanson said. "She
hardly recognized me, and I don't
wonder. I remember 1 had on
tight jacket that kept my shoulders
a little stopped in the manner of
an aging woman who's getting
little tired. Afterward my daugh-
ter asked me how I could always
cry right at the time the whistle
blows outside and I'm telling my
soldier good-by. I told her it wasn't
who cried. 1t was Mrs. Dewey"
Miss Swanson paused, that chin
uplifted.
Il love to play the part of a
woman who's tender and charm
ing and alive. Do you know what
I mean? For me, when the char
acters are right. the play grows out
of them"
She saw me to the door when I
left. At the time, she was express
ing the hope she will get to see the
National Art Gallery while she's in
Washington. There was a plaintive
note in her voice. 1t was almost
like a child's.

Take good look at the hat on
display this week in the lobby of
the Earle. That's right, we said
hat" A cabbage rose in full
bloom, a wisp of veil, and there you
have m1ady's latest chapeau at its
id1otic best. II you like the hat
you'll like Together Again" In
other words, If you're made of such
stun as can look a cabbage rose
square in the face and call It a hat
(W1thout single vince, mind you)
the latest Charles Boyer-Irene
Dunno vehicle is for you. Waste no
more time looking at the hat.
From here ON in we wouldn't be
a bit surprised if the women loved
1t. The men-well, probably more
than one millinery minded male

lous side of the celluloid. Charles

which, incidentally, is how we felt
about the movie.
First of all you're asked to be-
lieve that Monsieur Boyer's blood
pressure scars at the mere sight of
this $40 cabbage rose, and q few
minutes later that Miss Dunnes A.
|year-old daughter also falls In love
with Boyer while her high school
boy friend falls for Irene Dunno.
Now we ask you. OF course, If you're
a Boyer fan that's different. The
whole thing is probably quite un-
derstandable (even Mr.. Boyer's
English).
Then there's the little matter of
thunderstorms coming at just the
right moment. Script writers turn
them of and. on with amazing re-
suits. When you see the picture
you'll know what we mean. First
a bolt of lightning beheads Irene
Dunne's husband and does such a
good job of it that Miss Dunno has
no alternative but to seek Mr..
Boyer's assistance in putting back
the head. The hero, for Cupid's
purposes. is sculptor, you see, and
the heroine a beautiful young
widow. Content with this status is
Miss Dunno until along comes a
second thunderstorm, catching her
completely unaware in the sculp-
tors studio.
Things clear up just about long
enough for Miss Dunn to catch her

definite. I like the way, just be-
fore she says something she means
very much, she raises her chin
slightly while she's thinking. I
watched her and decided wanted to
know two things. / wanted to know
what kind Of roles she prefers and
wanted to discover something that
would indicate the kind of person
she is.
We were talking about the world
and what is happening to the people
In 1t and Miss Swanson ventured
the objective opinion that the con-
fusion, bitterness and hostility
date back we'll before the days of
Hitler. She placed the beginning
at about the time Karl Marx be-
gan writing.
She raised her chin in the way
she has.
People have been taught to
measure the work they do in terms
of time and money" she said
thoughtfully, and she cited a case
where a property man thought an
actress should be fined for en-
croaching on his speciality by NOV
ing chairs during rehearsals. "Peo-
pie are regarded, askance for doing
something because they want to do
1t, because they love to do it, or
because it's means Of self -expres-
SION"
From this, Miss Swanson deduces
that people have been taught the
world has a greater obligation to
the individual than the individual
has to the world.
The result is that individuals ex-
pect other people and even the Gov
ernment to treat them the wav a
spoiled child expects to be treated
by his overly fond parents"
Then Miss Swanson told a little
story. 1t was about the son she
ldollzed and showered with gifts and
attention until he was is and
she suddenly realized he had no
gratitude, no real love for any one
except himself and no sense Of re-
sponsibility. If he left the bicycle
sne mad given him ouside and
something happened to it, Miss
swanson would be very happy to
get him new one.
The climax came when she asked
MIN to do something and he re-
fused.
:! told him to sit down and 7
mad little talk with him" Miss
swanson said. II told him I had
mad enough. I told him to 90 to
ms room and pack whatever things
ne considered his and to get out
What was in my mind was this: IF
ne had what it would take, he would
get along and he'd be all the better
for 1t. AS soon as I could get to
my room, I broke down, of course
had Mysteries. I wanted to cali
MIN back. Nevertheless, it was ali
right. 1t was the best thing. He
had what it took"
r X
About your stage roles" I said
DO you like being a coincidence"
1t wasn't a very good question It
didn't go to the point. The point
was that Miss Swanson likes to Gre
ate a character, whether it be ro-
mantle, comic, perhaps even grim.

I thought about some movies
remember and realized I, too, was
curious about Gloria Swanson. An
interview was arranged and Miss
Swanson received me In her hotel

breath. Then another rainstorm-
this time catches the pair most con-
venlently under a gargantuan stone
affair decorated with little cupids.
Along about this time Irene Dunno
gets cold feet from too much ex-
posure to Boyers charm and de-
cided that as the Mayor of a small
Vermont town, statue or no statue,
this is not the sculptor for her. Mr..
Boyer, however, doesn't share the
same opinion. He goes to a great
deal of trouble to fix the head of
his new statue so that comes the
next thunderstorm the picture prac-
tically starts all over again. And
SO 1t does-only this time with a
happy ending.

entire picture. Completing the

Lobor-Industry Unity Expected
To Aid Reconversion in Seattle

The wokers were recruited from
throughout the Northwest and from
as far away as the South and Mid
west. There were signs in the Mid
west, when we arrived there, that
a considerable number Of them had
returned home. But majority of
the war recruits will want to stay
in the Northwest and it's up to the
city leaders to see that the industry
is there to support them.
Washington was on the upgrade
industrially when the war began.
The new plants and industries, par
ticularly aluminium, the training its
workers are getting in the war
should aid greatly in a continual
ton of that development. The
State, with its mild climate and
tremendous stores of cheap hydro
electric power, is truly an indus
trial frontier.
Although shipbuilding and air.
craft can be counted upon to en-
ploy more people when peace comes
than before the war, new ways must
be found Of creating jobs for the
tens Of thousands to be turned of
by the two industries. To take up
the slack, Washington looks to its
forest products industries, and de-
velopment Of such industries as
chemicals, iron and steel. Because
Of the increase in electric power
metaIurgical industries have as
sumed increased Importance.
Eyes Alaskan Development.
Prospect of lively postwar Gov
ernment program to develop Alaska
should prove Of immeasurable benefit
to the Seattle area. Washington ex-

(Fourth OF a SerieS)
By JAMES Y, NEWTON.

The big industrial area of Wash
ington State-Seattle and environS
still is bound SO tightly by the
war that little attention can be
given reconversion, but labor and
management have established a
working relationship during the war
that should go a long way toward
solving problems attending the re-
turn to peacetime life.
No other part of the country
brings home so strikingly as does
Seattle the realization that this Ma
ton still has a great war to finish.
There's the great Bremerton Navy
Yard, completely given over to re-
pair, with its swarms of workers
mending the wounds of the aircraft
carriers, Bunker Hill and Enter
prise, and the heavy cruiser, Pitts
burgh, broken in two by a typhoon.
There are numerous other war
ships, testimonials to the despera-
ton Of Jap suicide attacks.
In another part Of the area, B-29
Super Fortresses roll of the as
sembly lines at Boeing factories in
ever-increasing numbers.
Ships bearing the hammer and
sickle of Soviet Russia are being
loaded in the busy harbor.
Long conveys of trucks, loaded
with fully equipped troops, move
through the city's streets en- route
to embarkation points.
Seattle has been up to its ears In
war ever since the Japanese struck
Hawaii. Because of the type of work
being done there it will continue to
be one of our busiest arsenals until
the Japs call it quits.
Faces Big Peace Problem.
That the Puget Sound area will
have great problems when peace
comes is best illustrated by employ
ment figures. Manufacturing en-
ployes have increased during the
war from 5000 to 100000 in King
(Seattle) and Kitsap (Bremerton)
Counties. Like so many areas of the
West Coast, the big industries are
airplanes and ships. Employment
In the two industries has increased
from $4,000 to nearly 100000. Seat
tie itself has about 100000 direct war
workers.
Evening star., 1945-08-01

+ w. M. Thompson, Admiral Christie's s
assistants in charge of work, had the
yard humming-the workers con-
tented-all too uncommon for Navy
yards.
Business Praises Labor.
Seattle management and labor
have worked together during the
war in way that augurs well for
postwar industrial peace. There
have been no major strikes in the
area and even the Chamber Of Com
merce says it is proud of labor.
Dave Beck, regional head of the
Teamsters' Union (AFL), power
full figure In the Northwest, has
decreed that, come what may, there
will be no strikes in wartime in any
of the activities where he has in
fluence. Mr.. Beck sticks to his
promise. although he says that some
employers may take advantage OF
the position.
In summary, Washington seems
to have tough, though far from in
surmountable postwar problems.
It's biggest industrial section will
get late sart in competing for
postwar markets. There will be
considerable transition dislocations
and unemployment. But, with the
advantages the State possesses in
natural resources and comparatively
smooth industrial relations, it
should be able to more than over
come the handicap.

rial to flow into Puget Sound fab
ricating plants from Alaska.
Seattle should get a big portion
of trade with the Orient because OF
its advantage in proximity compared
to CALIFORNIA; great ports.
The airplane industry in Wash
ington means the Boeing Aircraft
Co.. producers of Flying Fortresses
and Super Fortresses. Boeing's three
plants now employ about 10000
workers, with many more employed
by its subcontractors.
H. Oliver West, the company's ex-
ecutive vice president, said this
would drop to a peacetime total of
about 10000. This is a big cut. but is
a much better showing than the in
dustry is expected to make nation
ally. AS comparison, the Boeing
B-29 plant in Wichita, Kans., en-
ploys more than 10000 persons. Mr.
West said this force would be re-
duced to mere 1000. The Wichita
operation will be largely one of sub
contract work for the automobile
industry.
Boeing was leading manufac-
turer Of clippers and other types of
transport airplanes before the war
This reporter, having heard reports
that Boeing after the war might
branch out into the field of gadgets
and other manufacture, asked Mr..
West about 1t. He replied, I'VE are
going to make airplanes." The same
answer was given by the other big
West Coast aircraft people.
Plans Cargo Planes.
Among other possibilities, Boeing
has the cargo and transport versions
OF the B-29 to enter in postwar COM
petition. The first of the cargo
types-the C-97-holds the trans
continental speed record.
Postwar employment possibilities
OF the second great private war in
dustry of the Seattle area, Todd
Pacific Shipyards, Inc, were not
ascertained. But, from information
gathered indirectly it would appear
the corporation will retain a smaller
percentage of its workers than Boe-
ing. Todd has large ship repair
yard at Tacoma and a DESTROYER
construction yard at Seattle. Its
present payroll is only slightly
smaller than Boeing's.
The principal manpower headache
OF the West Coast in recent months
has been the recruitment of workers
for the yards repairing battle dam
age and overhauling war-weary
ships. At Bremerton the COM
mandant, Rear Admiral r. w. Chris
tie, reported that labor seeking en-
ployment was pouring into the yard
faster than housing could be pro-
vided-the brightest spot in the
manpower picture.
There was a hustle about the
Bremerton yard-an air of getting
things done in hurry and well, that
was more impressive than in any
war plants this reporter has seen.
