BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.


Personality parade: Most de luxe
and elegant of all screen clothes
horse is Alexis Smith, and she's
puzzled about the whole thing.
Warmers started putting the fuss
and feathers on Alexis three years
ago because she was tall, rangy (5
feet inches make her the most
elongated OF top players) and the
fans responded with such delight
that they've hewn close to the fash
ION line with her ever since.
In real life Alexis is a very plain
girl, always has been, so she's still
busy trying to figure out why she
should be so richly ornamental in
celluloid.
1t began with her first picture,
+Dive Bomber" an Enrol Flynn
starrer. Originally there wasn't to
be any girl in the picture. Then
more or less to dress it up. they
decided to cast one--Some one tall
and beautiful. who would ooze class.
They chose Alexis from Stock-girl
ranks and she was of to the races.
She lolled through the picture,
shedding quality and that Tiffany
look and became, thereby, the No.
l society-girl type at Warner Bros.
Ever since then she's been strictly
creme de la creme.
In way l don't mind" she
said. "All my life l wanted for
NAL gown, but it took parts in
pictures to get me one.
What puzzles me is why I, who
as kid in school and even later
in college never wore anything
more exciting than a blouse and
plaid skirt, should suddenly emerge
on the screen as an extremely rich,
beautifully gowned lady of the up
per classes. I look at myself up
there and say, I don't get it,"
Alexis says that after seeing her
self for the first time on the screen
she felt so lofty that she almost
spurned her beat-up old coupe that
was to take her home.
20 limousine, I thought, was the
least I should have after that
screening room session." she said.
II caught myself on the verge of
giving my ma and pa the snoot.
But something brought me down to
earth. I guess maybe it was the
smell of mas cooking when en-
tered the house"
Alexis barely recovered from see
ing herself as a bored and wealthy
playgirl in olive Bomber" when she
was cast as an even richer and more
refined lady opposite Flynn again
in Gentleman jim" AS a Mob Hill
society girl, Alexis wore more jewels
than you see at Mocambo on good
night.
Mother and dad began looking at
me over their glasses" she said.
They wondered where I got that
class all of a sudden. got little
nervous, too.
After waltzing around in beauti-
full gowns all day my own slacks and
scuffy shoes seemed pretty dowdy,
but I stuck by them. I had to fight
the inclination to talk with sort
of bored drawl as they had me dong
in pictures, but Craig Stevens now
her husband and my folks took care
Of that"
Apparently the die was cast so far
as Warmers was concerned, because
Alexis kept right on appearing as a

brittle, enameled, rich and well-bred
young lady with Charles Boyer in
THE Constant Nymph," Frederic
March in Mark Twain" Robert
Aida in Rhapsody in Blue" Paul
Henried In "Of Human Bondage
and now, with Cary Grant. as Mrs.
Cole Porter in might and Day"
It's quite all right with Alexis If
they insist on thinking Of her In 33-
carat terms. But nothing could be
farther from the girl herself than
the type Of character she plays.
Alexis, rather than a rich mans
darling or society dilettante, is
probably one Of the plainest James
m town. Certainly no young lady of
"A has put in the hard work credited

to her. BY the age Of 10 she had
mastered the piano sufhciently to
give concerts. BY 10 she was 3 solo
ballerina at the Hollywood Bowl. BY
10 she was an actress and at 20 a
star.

Born June 8, 1921, in Penticon,
British Columbia, she moved to Los
Angeles with her parents, the Alex
ander Smiths, when still child. 1t
was while she was student at City
College in Los Angeles that she was
secuted for motion pictures.
Agent Vic Orsatti went backstage
to congratulate her, telling her she'd
be hearing from him about film
contract. Months went by and Alexis
forgot it. One day, however. her
mother told her that her dad had

asked orsatti to leave Alexis out OF
his plans.
When the agent explained that
Alexis really had something, the
girl was allowed screen fling. Now
dad thinks maybe he'd better stick
to his vegetable business and leave

Alexis and her mother.

been presented on the screen since

"On Approval" as we have tried
to say, is not consistently the most
amusing picture imaginable, but it
is quite engaging piece of nom
sense which does have the merit Of
showing Miss Lille can be like Miss
Lille on the screen.

HAVE "A CARE-HAVE A CAR

Automobiles are going ilto the
scrap heap at the staggering rate of
about 1000 day or a million and
half a year. Since Pearl Han Dor ap-
proximately five million cars have
left the road for good. AS result,
Americans will lave to keep their
cars running until THAT far-off day
VIXEN new cars are available in guam
tity or war workers and the general
public will face a possible break
down of their transportation. Almost
any car will keep rolling so long as
the following simple conservation
measures are taken: /. Check tire
pressure every week. Have tires re-
capped while casing is still in good
shape; recapped tires will give
thousands of miles of service but
tires can't be recapped after the cas-
ing is injured. 2. Have battery check
ed regularly and keep car properly
and constantly fabricated. g. Take
care of small adjustments and repairs
before they become big repair jobs.
4. Drive slowly; fast driving means
fast wear.

KEEP THE GARDEN BUSY
THROUGHOUT THE SEASON

With the critical need for produce
sible this year, utilizing the garden
fully throughout the season is dou-
bly, important. officials of the War
Food Administration state that more
than half of the canned vegetables
available for civilians last year were
home canned. They warn that tie
amount of commercially canned veg
tables available for cicvilians this
year is likely to be smaller than q
year ago.
A number of vegetables can still
be planted with reasonable assurance
of a successful crop, according to DR..
Edgar p. Walls, Canning Crop Spe-
cialist of the University of Maryland.
Whether there is space that has not
yet been planted, or space from
which early crops have been harvest
ed, he urges planting one or more
crops that will add to the home food
supply.
Late cabbage seed may be sown to
have plants for setting in the first
half of July, DR.. Walls says. Sug-
sested varieties ere Wisconsin Ball
head, Danis.i p;.llhead, and All Sea-
sons. All OF them are good and vii.
store well for winter use.
Hnother crop Tor delicious greens
is Swiss Chard. 1t can be planted
now Lucullus or Fordhook are sug
gested varieties. The lower leaves can
be harvested in about seven weeks
after sowing the seed.
A third crop suggested by Dr.
Walls is New Zealand spinach, one OF
the comparatively few greens thai
do well in hot weather. This may be
sown anytime from now until July
The seed is planted " inch deep, in
rows 30 inches apart and the crop is
thinned to final stand of 2 feet in
the row. In the thinning, process,
wait until the plant attain usable
size and remove entire plants to Sc
cure the proper stand. From the per-
manent plants about three inches of
the growing tips with their attached
leaves are cut off and used as other
potEerbs. The cutting back stimu-
lates development of new shoots and
causes the plants to greatly increase
in size.

HOMEMAKERs' NOTEBOOK

Color and flavor can be retained
j home-canned peaches, pears, and
plums by the use of tablets of vita
min G (ascorbic acid), Margaret Nc
Pheeters, University of Maryland Ex-
tension nutritionist, points out. Ex-
periments have shown that this SUBJ
stance acts against oxygen to prevent
darkening of fruit and a change of
flavor at the top of the jar where it
comes into contact with air. Simply
drop the tablets into the jar before
filling it with fruit. For pint jar
scientists recommend: Il tablets of
100 mig. potency; or IN of SONG;
or or rs ing. 1t will cost less tkan
2 cents per pint jar at present prices
of tablets in local stores.
1t is well before packing woolens
for the summer to take every precau-
ton against moth damage. Helen
Shelby, University of Maryland ex-
tension clothing specialist, offers
these suggestions for moth proofing
woolens: 1. Before putting them
away, hang them in the sun for sew.
eral hours and brush out all seams
and pockets where moths and worms
can n:de. 2. Put clothes away in
trunk that closes tightly or in box
that can be sealed, into which frs.
has been placed pound of naphtha-
lene flakes or Observation-Disclosures
crystals to every cubic foot of space.
8. Keep floors and cracks free of lint
and dust to keep moths from breed
ing in clothes closets.
A question often asked by house.
wives, says, Helen Irene Smith, TN.
versity of Maryland home manage
ment specialist, is how to remove
iron from water when the iron con-
tent is so high that clothes launder-
ed in it are stained. To remvoe the
iron Miss Smith suggests one-fourtIl
teaspoon of powdered alum to one
quart of warm water thoroughly
stirred into ten gallons of water
from which the iron is to be removed.
Let it stand over night and the iron
will settle to the bottom so that in
the morning the clear water can be-
poured or siphoned off Barrels ara
convenient containers to Use.

thumb business.
Those of you who like them and
live near where they grow might as
we'll have all the artichokes you
want. Canning them is no trick at
all when you have good recipe and
follow it.
Cranberries were reasonably plen-
tiful in the market the week before
last Thanksgiving Day-but did you
try to find them a month later?
Well, maybe this year you will re-
member that home canned cram
berry sauce is just about the
easiest of anything to can. What's
more, it has wonderful flavor and
goes as well with chicken in May as
with turkey in December.
Make Red Pepper jam
Yes, we know this isn't cranberry
season. but you need not wait that
long if you have yen for some
thing tart, sweet and red to add a
touch of glamour to an otherwise
drab meal. That something is Red
Pepper Jam. When you make it, be
sure to use meaty red sweet pep
pers. Those with thin walls and bit
ter flavor will not serve the pur-
pose.
Whether the item you plan to
can is necessity or luxury, please,
for your own sake, pay careful at
tention to the selection and use OF
