The prologue of the Theater
Guilds new musical hit, "Carousel,"
was in progress, blazing with color
and animation. We-Rouben Ma
moulian and I-stood in the back
of the theater watching the PAN
tomime which runs some eight or
nine minutes.
In staging this engaging musical
drama, Mamoulian carried out a
theo:y Of direction which he applied
first to "Porgy and Bess." then to
Okla ahoma" His theory is to in
tegra.e all the elements in musical
production SO that it becomes a
unit rather than a sequence of ef-
fects more or less detached from
ore another.
"You see the director nodded
toward the tage-"every one is
acting. Every one is factor in this
scene"
This was so. AS you looked, study
Ing the stage picture in detail, you
saw chorus girls, chorus boys, prin-
cipals and those supporting them
all individualized as gems in a
crown. Each had something to do.
Each was doing it.

So it continued throughout. Quite

They were part of the play. whether
in song. ballet or supplying back
ground-always animated, always in
key with the performance as a
whole. In this Connection. Mamoulian
told of an interesting incident.
"On the second night of the
play" he said, "one of the horses
on the merry -go-round fell from the
platform with its rider, chorus
boy Although painfully hurt, he
maintained the pantomimic rhythm
of the scene Beckoning to Miss
Casio, owner of the carousel, he
called her to his side just as though
the accident were part of the show
Miss Casio in turn signaled to John
Riatt, the barker, who maintained
the scene by struggling, as if to say,
This is beyond me- He did, how
ever, go to the wings, returning
with the assistant property man, in
shirt sleeves. and I ask you to be-
lieve that this mechanic also fell
into the spirit of the pantomime
making adjustments rhythmically
while every one on the stage acted
out the impromptu scene.
That" said the director, 'is what
mean by integration."
He 'loathes" the idea of a chorus
in the accepted sense of the term
q phalanx of 20 or 40 girls who come
down front, sing, kick their legs and
retire so that the play may be re-
sumed, as in the more conventional

said, should be group of actresses

HOLLYWOOD. wi

I1SJL NfSN)O.
I don't know what has come over
the gentlemen of Hollywood, but
there's a new crime wave going on
I mean, wherever I go I hear nice
young men stating that they want
to play a good meaty villain part in
their next picture. Most of the nice
girls here want to play bad women
because they know it's the best way
of prolonging career. And now
the boys have finally caught on.
The instantaneous success of
Hurd Hatfield in The Picture of
Dorian Gray" has big something
to do with the general masculine
desire to be bad on celluloid. Here
was a man with the face of an angel
who ruined women, took dope and

Gary is smart. He said to me, this

that?' He was afraid that by max

detract from the leading part. And
he's right. You can get the SYM
pathy of the audience very easily
even if you are villain.
Here's an example. A tough guy
is cornered in a barn. His ole

Wash Old Glory

HcW to wash the flag depends
upon the material of which it is
made. Colorfast cotton flags can
be Numbered in the tub or washer
using moderately warm sHds. Color~
fast wool flags need cooler soapy
water. and SO do silk flags. Most
of the little flags such as children
often carry in parades are seldom
fast-dyed, and washing is not sug-
gested for them.
Flag etiquette comes into the pic
ture when hanging the flag on the
line to dry. 1t should never be al
lowed to touch the ground, and
should hang with the blue field to
the right if fastened by the narrow
side, and with the field to the left if
fastened by the long side. Whether
suspended from a washline for dry
ing or from a pole for display.
the flag always should be hung ac-
cording to correct usage.

wartime need i'm I945 than was the
case a year ago, specialists Of the
Montana Agricultural Extension
service, join in urging all rural and
urban people who can possibly do
so to grow a garden this year and
preserve as much as possible Of the
garden produce.
E. E.. Isaac, extension horticul-
turist, points out that recent chang
es in food rationing regulations
emphasize the urgent need for max
imum food production this year
Home gardens, he said, play an i'm
portant part in the wartime food
supply by providing food close to
home and thereby saving that much
extra burden on already overloaded
transportation systems, and by re
leasing that much more CONNER
cially grown food for the armed
forces. In 1914, he said, the num-
Der of victory gardens in the coun-
try dropped some two and one-half
million under the 1943 total This
year, he said, more home gardens
will be needed and needed urgently

What Precautions ShOulde Be Taken
To Avoid Rheumatic Infection?

Unfortunately we cannot Offer
YOU the same assurance in avoiding
Rheumatic Fever as we can in
avoiding SMALLPOX or Diphtheria,
by vaccination or immunization.
But that does not mean that nothing
can be done. In our last article we
said that such factors as poor diet,
overcroWding, and a damp, dark,
cold environment lowers the re-
sistance SO that the injecting germ
has a chance to take hold.
So the first thing to do is to get
daily ration of a Well-balanced
diet, such as meat, eggs, vegetables,
cereals, milk and fruits.
Next, be sure to avoid becoming
chilled; take proper exercise, plen-
tv Of rest and fresh air.
Since an infection is necessary,
the next precaution that can be
taken is to avoid crowds, and es-
pecially to avoid contact with any
one with cold sore throat, or
Scarlet Fever.
However, in spite of all you can
do, there is no assurance that Rheu-
HldllC FeVeI may De dVJlucu DS-
cause, remember, we pointed out
earlier that the infection tends to
run in families. That proves that

stitution, and, since W. do not have

Watering Boosts Yield

1t has been shown that watering
cows twice daily produces 81 per
cent more milk than watering once
a day. One hundred heavy laying
hens will drink 10 tons OF water in
a year. A laying pullet has been
observed dipping her beak in a pan
of water 81 consecutive times after
breakfast. And it takes $50 pounds
of water to produce 100 pounds Of
pork.
