The Children's Hour is more
than entertainment its a
proving ground for new talent

NERs ALICE VIOLA CLEMENTS sleek, soft-spoken
Ivl sophisticated lady from Philadelphia, has prob
ably done to upt the status of children in the
adult world than anyone since Peter the Hermit
ganized the Chidren's Crusade. Mrs. Clements is a
firm believer in the axiom that little child shall
lead them In her case it has led to pleasant career
and an income of some $4,000 year. A Svengali
of the sucklings, she has proved, for over Is
years, that children clever on the radio as
grown up stars. Mrs Clements produces. writes
and directs four all-juvenle programs on the radio
networks, including Sunday morning Childrens
Hour which is the Oldest sponsored program of its
kind anywhere.
Mrs. Clements takes them from two years to H.
She additions about 40 young hopefuls every Friday
afternoon and turns up at least two or three new
juvenile genuses at each addition Since she started
she has auditioned close to 100000 little boys and
girls The youngest virtuoso she ever tried out was
an l8-monthsold baby who could sing only one song
The Sidewalks of New York"
Mrs. Clements, who has no children of her own
lavishes an almost maternal affection her charges
when they sing song very well when they do some
recitation cleverly Her favorte word of praise is
adore" She is particularly pleased when of the
children orgets of line, and then proceeds to
ad lib. Mrs. Clements gggles happily, and her large
brown eyes light up she beams with genuine pride.
No Schoolxmistreu on Lihr1xian
Mrs CLEMENTS is TALL slender, smartly dressed
woman, with nothing of the schoomisress or Librarian
about her. She doesn't look like the type whom you
would expect to be coaching children She looks like
the cocktailparty or rst-nighter type. Mrs Clements
says she has made no study of child psychology or
child problems. She knows nothing about advanced
pedagogy, has she studied the newer progressive
ideas of cultivating children taught at universi
ties. Mrs Clements does not wear eyeglasses, even
the harlequin kind In fact she never attended col
lege. During her youth she was ballet dancer.
Over so grown-up alumni of her programs are now
successful theatrical stars including Ann Sheridan
Ezra Stone, Gloria Jean, Carol Bruce, AL Bernie

"JANE EYRE" E
 NOW ON SCREEN
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Great books make great pictures!
 No better proof of this axiom could be presented than the 20th Century Fox screen version of Char lotte Brontes' immortal romance, Jane Eyre,v starring Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine, playing last times tonight as the 20th Century Theatre.
 Critics who have already seen the magnificent transference of the novel to the screen, are unanimous in placing it in that rare realm of productions, smash triumph" " The film sweeps to the screen in 8 relentless onrush of transcendant love, frightening mystery, dramatic emotion and scenes and moments of romance's most glorious ecstasy.

 Upon her death, a most fitting tribute to her achievement was given in the name, "The Juliette Low International Friendship Me- morial." Under its provisions, Scouts of various countries exchange summer encampments, conduc t meetings of representative and develop programs aimed to estab- fish understanding, tolerance and friendship
 The Girl Scouts are proud of their heritage in this field and are eager to continue this timely theme.
