money gift presented to the Libr-

that no more permanent and ap-

And SO we come to August
right in the middle of "dog days
the close, sultry part of sum-
mer, when Sirius, the dog star is
rising-when we seem to crave
cooling drinks and a pool of water.
"Yo' chillen bettsh come out dat
water what. 20, muthuh. thinkin'
bout, lettin' yo' go in. water in
dog days?"" This admonition from
Maria Dorsey, wife of Alex the
Prescott's teamster was our intro
duetion to dog days" in the, early
1900's. Aunt Maria lived in the ten
ant house left perched high above
the road at, the intersection of En-
DRY Lane apd the tNorbeck- Redlapd
Road since the road was, Slightly
changed. She always, kept an eye
en-. the White children of Muncas-
ter's Mill, when they were wading
in the "brapch''that runs through
the meadow of the place where the
Whites lived from 1891 to 1919
now owned by the Murphys. n
Casually asking the maid in at
tendance her name, after WEI had
had dip in the Manor Club pool
recently, we were reminded of all
this when she told us she had been
a Dorsey before marriage and well
remembered hearing Aunt Maria
talk of the White Children and
their doings. We learned from her
what had become of the various
"cullud folks" who had worked
for US over long period of years
she was related to many Of
them. The Adams, Tilleys, Dor
seys, .Jacksons, Johnsons and Pow
els are still represented.
We always smile when we think
of Maria-under scoldng exter-
ior she had a heart Of gold and
really worried over us more than
did our! parents. She was always
sure we were going to be drowned,
killed by horse or ground up in
the mill. Our recollection is that
she had no children of her own.
We were apt to run into her house
for ginger bread or sandwich
while playing in the meadow, rath-
er than climb the hill to our house.
White people and colored were 50
much easier in their relations in
those days-and so much happier
we believe.
We have never learned why it was
considered dangerous to go in wa
ter at this period of the summer
perhaps it was a negro superstitu-
ton. This present generation has
never heard of dog days and GER
tainly has no inhibitions regarding
the water.
On Sunday we visited our small
neighbor, Mary Cook Stewart, at a
Girls Camp being conducted by
two county school teachers, Con-
stance and Edwina Mullinix, on
their brothers. farm near Mullinix
Mill, just q few miles below the
source of the Patuxent River. The
girls are taught to swim in an
old-time swimmin' hole - where
undamned water is kept pure by
constant change and nature has
provided clear sandy bottom. A
dozen or so girls, from six TO tive

orchard. They live, ride. swim,

her life. But both won Oscars" in
the process.
They were the recipients last
night of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences awards
for the best performances Of an
actor and actress in 1945. The scene
was Grauman's Chinese Theater

Hollywood's elite. Thousands of
others jammed the boulevard out

But the real drama took place
eight miles away, in Brentwood
bedroom. There Miss Crawford
whose unsung aid to the forgotten
and needy of fllmdom has made her
a solidly popular character in a
make-believe world, danced around
a sickbed.
Ill With Influenza.
For her, an attack of influenza
had robbed her of the moment of
glory of which every actress dreams
stepping up to receive her oscar.
But friends, headed by Director
Mike Curtiz, who accepted the
award in her behalf at the theater,
decided that even a temperature of
102 shouldn't cost her all of the
thrill that goes with winning the
highest honor Hollywood's thou
sands OF workers-from grips to
executive producers-can bestow.
So they went to her rambling
Brentwood home and there, while
Joan sniffled and cried, handed her
the statuette.
Usually she choked, a little
ruefully, I'm ready with the wise
cracks. But can't say anything.
My tears speak for me-"
She won the award for her dra-
matte portrayal of the spurned
mother in Mildred Pierce 1t was

Of THE Lost Weekend" spanked
that picture to one of the greatest
sweeps since 1T Happened One
Night" hit the screen in 1884.
For Paramount, it won the selec-
ton as the best picture. For Billy
Wilder it won the directorial award
and share of the palm for the best
written screenplay with Charles
Bracket.
Thus was vindicated the judgment
of Messrs. Milland, Wilder and
Bracket, who doubled as the films
producer, that 1t not only would be
a powerful message, but would make
money. Its success at the box office
has surprised all but the confident
few.
Other major awards went to

For Florence Bates, life began at

time in her life.
Now, eight years later, plump,

Miss Bates was born IN San An

and no inhibitions- 1888. In
1914, she decided to become a law
yer. She studied law 18 hours a
day for eight months, then tried law
examinations for a week and won
q license to practice. She was the
first woman lawyer in Texas.
'I realize now that I was obey
ing an urge to act, even then," she
said. Some of those trials were
pure, unadulterated theater."
She gave up her campaign to be-
come the Portia Of Texas when a
court forced her to reveal conf
dences entrusted to her by a client.
Like her father, she went into the
antique business, but. in time, this
trade became too tame. She de-
cided to see the world. Seeing it.
and being Florence Bates, she had
adventures that are worth talking
about-so she became lecturer.
Meanwhile, her husband was ir

were wealthy and had everything
they wanted, including a talented
and beautiful daughter. Then, sud.

Of their battle is to bring him

It is quite a different cast which
plays Lachlen's fable for your de-
light, but its competence is not to
be questioned. Richard Basehart
who played the original black
hearted Scotsman won acclaim for
making him the hardest, most aloof
human you ever saw. John Dali

humanizing Of his hero. First Of his
gayly and touchingly imagined
tricks for disarming the man Is that
of having his wardmates make him
q present of the Cameron kilt outfit,
one for which he never would spend
his own money. That Is terrible,
and wonderfully funny, thing with
which to assail the ferocious pride
of a man, but it begins the disinte-
grafton. Heretofore, the mere offer
of a cigarette was interpreted by
Lachlen as a crude effort to buy his
friendship. After the kilt gift, he
gives his own way. He glows when
the easy-going Yank in the ward
calls him Buster. He lectures on the
evil of pinch-peany policies on the
part Of Parliament. And, when the
ward nurse kisses him, he Is COM

The most touching passage in the
play is that when Lachlen discovers

Z, War is the setting Of "The Hasty
Heart" but that is not its theme.
Author John Patrick might, indeed,
in many ways have written it to
point moral to the postwar world,
but moral cleverly concealed in
far merrier package than those
such things usually come in.
Through men clad in pajamas,
flung together In an Army field hos
pital on the Burma front,
the playwright speaks of human
qualities that make drama apart
from war or peace. He deals with
ignorance, pride, misunderstanding
love, comraderie, and decency under
difiiculties. And he manages to be
hopeful and quite full Of laughter,
which is quite an achievement any
where, but especially in a field hos
pital ward:
On the whole, 1t is as easy to call
THE Hasty Heart" peace play
aS any other kind, q comedy that
has both good humor and good
will.
The hasty heart, the plays hero
says, Is quick to sorrow. That es-
tablished Patrick sets out to prove
1t in the person Of one of the most
refreshing heroes the theater has
encountered in several seasons. He
is a dour Scotsman, the dourest
imaginable, a wounded Cameron. He
Is doomed to die, this proud, mis-
anthropic Lachlen MacLachlen. He
does not know that, nor does he
know that that is why he is brought
into the happiest ward in the hos
pital in the hope that he will learn
of human warmth and affection be-
fore he dies.
That is q situation abulge with
possibilities, some OF them morbid
II they were allowed to develop that
way. Happily they are not. When it
turns out that Lachlen has never
heard of happiness, his good-na-
tured ward mates have their work
laid out for them, harder work than
that which landed them in bed
with wounds and fevers. Lachlen's
deep and uncompromising bitter
ness offers them dozen tempta-
