Fathers Doy IT r0ditionoIIv Observed
 Usual Gifts
 Presented ai Informal
 Family Gatherings

Many former servicemen spent their first Fathers Day at home with their children yesterday as Waterburians settled down for the first peaceful observance of the day since Pearl Harbor.
 Today these same fathers proudly exhibited new ties with the com ment, Prom the Kids" Following the usual custom, many of these fathers will hide those same ties away tonight at the bottom of drawer or in the back of a closet. Later on when they are asked why they stopped wearing their beauti- ful gift, they will humble some- thing about not being able to find it, or it doesn't go with the suit they are wearing that day.
 Even the weather man was good to fathers yesterday. Sunny and cool, the weather was ideal for ball games. Many fathers made the most of 1t too, sneaking off to 8 game without worrying about the usual comments about not taking the family for a Sunday afternoon ride. Yesterday was Fathers Day. Today Mother is again running the family.

 A good many years ago, Barbara Stanwyck outlined to me, during the course of an interview, the strict routine she had devised to teach her adopted son the value of money, Meeting her on the set the other day, I asked her how her sys- tenn he'd worked, Almost too we'll" she assured me, and offered the fol- lowing illustration. Because l2-year- old Tony, like most he-boys his age, Is a bit careless about spilling food on the tablecloth, she recently ruled that he would have to pay c fine, from his weekly allowance, for each spot he caused Some days later, she noticed him vigorously rubbing the tablecloth with his napkin, and in- formed him he was wasting his time that spots can't be removed that way.

HOLLYWOOD, June 17-Consider the case of Lauren Bacall, one year ago the most extolled newcomer In Hollywood, yet talked about today SO little that most fans might well be excused for forgetting her very existence. Why 30 startling a change in Statueq
 Miss Bacall Still 6 Grade A find" Is, In my opinion, merely paying the almost inevitable penal- ty for being oversold, Warner Broth- CTS, aided and abetted by all movie magazines and most Hollywood col- urnnists, tried to give her stellar rating too soon.
 Hollywood Is prone to that par ticeilar inconsistency. On the one hand, Its producers stress the in- portance of acting ability and the need for thorough training; on the other, they take novice like Laur- en Bacall with no training whatever, rush her into leading roles and, bas- Ing their claim on nothing more than e spectacular personality, ar- bitray1ly declare her great new star" Having once awarded that rating, the studio bosses are stuck. They can't offer their Cinderella anything less than stellar roles, yet sober reflection and public apathy have convinced them, by then, that she may not be able to handle such parts.
 The fact Is that stardom cannot be safely conferred by ei- ther baNyhoo or studio dictates. It can be conferred only via public ap- proval, a process that takes, on the average, about five years.
 Don't mlsupderStand me: I think Miss Bacall can still be c great star. But to get there, she needs exactly what every other promising new conner should have-proper train Ing and careful, lone-range plan- hing for her career.

San Francisco-Well, Sen Fran ,isco got its first view of Hopes Colossal Carnival of Celebrities, perhaps the biggest thing to hit he big area since Edward Arr aold and Sydney Greenstreet had lunch ct DiMaggio's.
 Was SO happy to find the weather great. Not that 1t is wet around. San Francisco, but 1t is the only town I've ever been in where they don't say the mayor is up for his second reelection. Here they just say he's going down for the third time.
 All of the cast went out shop ping yesterday. and I asked Jack Pepper if he'd seen the famous jade at Gumps. He said. No, but I did see a nice-looking hussy coming out of O'Connor, Moi fatts."
 And I understand there's been a big change at Omar Khayyam's restaurant. Since the bread short- age they no longer use for their slogan "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou" Now 1t reads, "A jug of wine and thou better like biscuits"
 I'm staying at the Palace. An, doesn't that hotel have historic memories? The famous night in 1906 when the fire made Caruso jump out the window. And the night in l946 when the house de- tective made Colonna jump off the fire escape.

Life" says Phyllis Brooks, lis like a rodeo, battle all the way, and I'm crazy about 1t. I like to fight. I'd run a mile any time to see Q fight-or join one.
 She's hardly the type you would single out to win spectacular suc- cess on the state or in pictures. Yet she was a standout in a small part in Stage Door" on Broadway.
 Four seasons later she was rock ing Manhattanities back on their heels in Panama Hattie" having definitely arrived" as a star of the speaking stage. She jumped from that spectacular triumph back to Hollywood and her most important film role, that of Dixie in Arnold Pressburger's production of "The Shanghai Gesture, now at the Strand Theater.
 Make no mistake about 1t. Phyllis Is very tough little egg, tough and resilient as befits a gal who would rather get what she wants the hard way. You'll find her off the set chewing gum, hobnobbing with the overailed help, her long slim legs as likely as not draped over the adjacent chair. She loves high, heels-even her boudoir mules have 'ern. Her role in "The Shang- hal Gesture" suits her fine. She plays Brooklyn-born chorus cutie stranded in Shanghai.
 Why do I like Dixie" she says, brutally frank. Because she's me. And, ungrammatically (but the heck with that,) I'm her. Were peas In a pod. Dixies got her back to the wall, which is where mine has been nearly all my life"
 The companion feature is Top per Takes a Trip sequel to the original Topper and 1t again stars Constance Bonnet and Roland Young.

Now playing at the Loew-Poli Theater is the romantic comedy "Cluny Brown" Starring Charles Boyer and Jennifer Jones, based on Margery Sharp's best-selling story of two uninhibited people who don't belong" anywhere-except in each others arms. In her first film comedy, Jennifer is seen in the title role of the madcap English girl whose irrepressible urge to be- come e lady plumber leads her from one uproarious misadventure romantic and otherwise-to an- other. Boyer, in his first comedy since Together Again plays the part of the carefree and restless refugee writer who harbors some out of-this-world idea of achiev- ing happiness. Also on same pro- gram is the mystery, "Undercover Woman" starring Robert Livingston and Stephanie Bachelor.
 Starting Wednesday is Constance Moore in the thrilling romantic ad- venture Tn Old Sacramento. |" Playing a new kind of role, Con- stance emerges more dazzling than ever before!
 After appearing In series of modern musicals including Earl Carroll Vanities' and "MeXicana, ' Connie decided she would like to go old-fashioned for one picture, and the search started for tthe right picture. Tn Old Sacramento" was selected as that picture, for besides action, excitement and thrilling love story, 1t had several musical numbers that Miss Moore could utilize her singing voice to the best advantage.
