AS Southerners and deeply inter-

selected one of the more roman
tically lusty of the stories and dra-
matlzed 1t as part of their scholastic
routine. 1t earned them a proud
amount of professional esteem and
they were satisfied with that. When
1t was suggested that the play
should be submitted for the Max
well Anderson award for the best
the suggestion struck them as far
fetched. They were convinced that
1t really was nothing more than a
writing exercise and had no chance
for the prize, awarded annually at
Leland Stanford University.
A couple of rather astounded
young men they were when Dark
of the Moon" won the award, the
more SO since they had not regarded
1t as true verse play.
They were even more surprised
last summer when the drama was
presented before a few handfuls of
customers in the steamy (pardon us,

Cambridge, Mass. The furof 1t
created was as high as the weather
was hot and before it had ended,
Lee Shubert turned out to be the
producer who had made the high

If there is moral in the expe-
rience of Playwrights Richardson
and Barney it probably is that the
way to regard play you have
written is that it is a silly, futile
piece of literature that you produced
merely for the exercise.

Perfection in feminine comel-

differ, one from the other.
But every now and then some
pin-up girl is accorded unusual hon
ors by groups of appraising adj
mirers who reach an agreement
in-principle on her uncommon N
appeal TO the eye and the imagi-
nation. Navy crews pick their
favorite pin up girl. Infantry
companies do likewise. Marine out
fits take similar polls. In these In
formal elections some candidates for
masculine approval come off better
than others.

when some of the nations outstand-

encouragement from press agent,
perhaps-came 10 the conclusion that
she's the perfect pin-up girl.
To back up their judgment, Earl
Moran, Bradshaw Crandall, Varga
and Zoe MoZert made pin-up sketches
of Miss Blaine as they see her. Mr..
MOran's conception is at the top of
the page and Miss Mozert's is at the
bottom.
These artists know, as well as
anyone, that their opinion on what's
