ing, rise to the top like inflated
balloons to brag about their jobs,
the people they know and how much
money they spent on such and such
a thing-real bores are these.
Why not try boosting her ego q
little every now and then. After
preparing for a special event she
would appreciate your saying that
she looks especially nice. 1t is so
little to ask.
II still seems to be a masculine
prerogative to be tired at the end
Of the day. In these days when
most women double as housewives
and career women, Ito help stretch
your mcconnell, let her feel that she
can afford to be tired once in q
while, too. Try helping her with
the dinner and the dishes. She will
appreciate it more than you realize,
The emphasis seems to be on
keeping the man happy. How
about q little thought toward
keeping the little lady hRppyH
One more point and the lecture is
over-if you don't want women to
generalize about you then refrain
from generalizing about women.
GenerRlizing about the opposite sex
is a definite bone of contention"
Class is dismissed.

Star of Carmen
Jones' Career
Like Cinderella's

Cinderella had nothing on Muriel
Smith, who has the title role in
Billy Roses production Of Carmen
JONES'" which comes to the Min
neapolis Auditorium Friday night,
Saturday matinee and night, De-
cember 6 and Z.
Cinderella climbed the heights In
a single day, but it didn't take Miss
Smith much longer to move from a
job in a Philadelphia photogra-
piers shop TO a position as one Of
the most highly acclaimed singers
in America.
Miss Smith, born and raised in
New York City, was always inter-
ested in music, and before she
reached her teens she was already
singing at various church and
school functions. Not long after
she had passed her sixteenth birth
day she was heard, quite acct
dentally, by Elizabeth Westmore-
land, famed singing coach and a
member Of the faculty Of Curtis
Institute Of Music in Philadelphia.
Miss Westmoreland was enthusiast
tic.
As a result, Miss Smith received
a scholarship at Curtis, where she
was the only colored girl enrolled.
But the scholarship was no open
sesame to ease and fame. Miss
Smith had to live and eat while
she was studying. So, for three
tough years, she studied at Curtis
and worked in a Philadelphia
camera shop at SIS a week In order
to meet living expenses.
She was still working there when
Mr.. Rose found her, during the ma
tiOnwide talent search he staged
when he put on Carmen Jones'"
She was Immediately signed to sing
the title role, and the rest is
theatrical history. The acclaim she
received for both her singing and
her acting was universal and tire.
mendous.

Though there is still room for i'm

But you-what are you doing to

You are human, so you too have
faults, you know.
Many men, happy with the
prerogatives accorded their sex,
lean on them so heavily as to drive
these prerogatives right into the

help them do this.
Women are continually urged
