Lana Talks and Metro Worries

Clara was irrepressible and often
couldn't contain herself.
There was the time Clara walked
with her father and a correspondent
toward her dressing room. Sudden
ly the redhead stopped and pointed
toward the sidewalk. Papa Bow
looked and saw big green fly sun
ming himself. Clara puckered her
lips, took deliberate aim and spat at
the fly. The shot missed its mark
by fraction of an inch, but Clara,
laughing and slapping her hips,
shouted, We'll, I hit his legs, any
way" Papa Bow shook his head
sadly. Clara" he said, how many
times must I tell you that you're a
big star now and you must quit spit
ting on Sidewalks?"
But Clara never needed her IA
theirs advice. One of the biggest
worries at Paramount was keeping
her from joining extras on the rear
of a stage and participating in the
Osarkian pastime of "spittin' at a
crack"

wisp of plot and the authors have
taken no pains to look more deeply
into group Of conventional charac-
tiers than playwrights who have
made previous use of the same rath-
er standard humans. AS compared
with 1.-THE Glass Menagerie," the
later Williams play is hardly even a
near miss, retrieved to some extent
by the superbly comic performance
Of Edmund Gwenn and some fleet
ingly wistful moments between the
dramas young lovers.
You Touched Me" is based upon
a story of the same name by the late
D. H. Lawrence. It's treatment sug-
gests that Williams found the mate
rial unmanageable, as compared
with that of his own inspiration, and
that he resorted to a kind of elfifi
desperation to escape from it in
three acts. He gives it comedy here,
tenderness there, and whimsicality
somewhere else, but he rarely gives
1t life and almost never perceptible
movement. 1t is not what one ex-
poets Of the author of The Glass
A'NNAAoS SAASs Jua6hiCliO WlACll
should leave Williams not entirely
bereft Of consolation and with an
admirable profit for his virtuosity.
-
The poetic speech and imagry
which are the special qualities of
Williams find little to give them
wings in you Touched Me-"
1t is the tale of two generations,
age and youth, at war in an English
household while the bombs are fall
ing on the life that England knew.
The division between the sexes is
equal. The women are a beautiful
young girl grown neurotic under the
spell Of SpinSter aunt, herself neu-
rotic with the conviction that manly
men are the worlds primary curse.
On the other side of the conflict are
a lusty, roaring, tipping old sea
captain, father of the girl, and
young Raj officer who grew up in
the home timid orphan but who
has developed spiritual muscles in
the experience of war.
Surprise is nowhere inherent in
the situation of the play, and Will

HOLLYWOOD.

Personal but not private:
What does a movie star stick into
her wardrobe trunk for four weeks
trip to South America? Well, for
one thing, Lana Turner took along
three dozen pairs of nylon hose when
she left last week.
What are you planning to do, eat
those things?" asked the startled
WHY'S Of Hollywood when he deliv-
cred the order. Lana told WHY'S she
intended getting married down
there, refused to elaborate further
and then when the persistent WHY'S
cross-examined her, the glamour
stars mother called a halt on the
discussion.
MY daughter talks too much" she
declared.
The Lana Turner trip to the far
South is just one more torment for
the MGM publicity department,
throes of the Van Johnson-Sonja
Henie affair.
They're desperately trying to make
folks believe that Mr.. Johnsons trip
East was in no way connected with
a personal interest for the divorcing
Iice-skate queen but merely an ex-
cursion to satisfy his craving to ride
the choo-choo trains.
There is even more Of a hubbub
out on the Culver City lot about the
Turner trip-and with good reason.
Miss Turner not only has a tendency
to talk, as her mother suggests, but
she likes to 60 places and do things
Her box score: Two marriages, two
divorces, one child.
MGM seldom lets one of its stars
get beyond the boundaries of Culver
City without a public ~ guide to
ward off unfavorable press notices.
A correspondent who wants to inter-
view one of these ladies invariably
finds it's a threeSome and the chap
erone is always sitting in a position
where his practiced cues are access
ible for the star to follow. Some
times writer can break the code,
find out what the star isn't supposed
to talk about and then continue
along the tabooed trend. Writers
have been known to beat the pub
licity coach by having him sum-
moned back to his department on a
urgent but faxed call.
Some stars are their own best press
agents, know when and how to talk.
There are others who must be con-
stantly guarded or they quickly dig
not only their own graves, but those
of their bosses.
Clara Bow would never have lasted
so long had it not been for careful
guidance at Paramount. Never was
she allowed to be interviewed with
out the presence of coach, who
went through all the antics Of a big
league manager on the third base
line during rally. Nevertheless,

liams and his collaboration are smart
enough not to bother with it. What
they neglect to do. however, is to
compensate by giving you a more
than surface glimpse Of the growth
of those embroiled in the conflict
Their beautiful heroine is wistful
creature in her subservience to the
aunt, the prey of all the ogres as
ISOLATED with the spinster PERSONAL
ity. But she also is always just a
touch exasperating, the more so in
view of the fact that the aunt 20
closely approaches the farcical that
you wonder why the girl does not
laugh at her, too. The playwrights
have resorted to the trick of explain
ing her ineptitude by saving she
can express herself only in the
poetry she writes, but they offer
only a couplet to indicate she can
be articulate even that way.
In spite Of his stock essence, the
most engaging character in the
play is the old sea captain played
by Gwenn, fine old roue who en-
courages the attraction between the
youngsters whether he is drunk or
sober. Most of the time he is the
former, at his finest in two whimsi-
cal asides which give the comedy
its gayest moments One of these
is when he describes a youthful
romance he had with a porpoise
once off Nicaragua. The other is
an imitation of a voracious fox's raid
upon his sisters chicken house.
They are passages perfectly designed
for proving that Gwenn can be one
of the most uproariously funny men
on the contemporary stage. They
are almost as perfectly Irrelevant
to the pitch of the play.
X r u X
The Raj pilot, in addition to lay
ing siege to the girls CONCEALED
emotions, was undoubtedly in the
minds as the symbol
Of, and spokesman for, the future
toward which every one is supposed
to be looking. What he is thinking
OF in that connection, however, is
limited to brief POLITICALLY pas
slonate outburst in the first act.
After that he subsidies into a kind
of bewildered pursuit of the girl,
engaging when he flip
PANTY parties the ferocious defense
OF the home by the aunt.
There have been two major
changes in the cast of you Touched
Me" since it opened on Broadway
early in October They are Phyllis
Ryder as the girl Matilda and John
Conway. who cannot have been less
amenable to the roles and Guthrie
direction than Marianne
Stewart and Montgomery Cliff. The
weakness lies rather in what they
were given to work with, rather OBJ
viously. An excellence almost equal
to that of Gwenn's is evident in the
portrait of the acidulous spinster
by Catherine Willard and Norah
Howard and Neil Fitzgerald are am
pie in smaller roles.
The three level English country
home setting by Motley is artfully
in the mood of what the authors had
to say, which really is not very
much.

Witness Tithing
Project Harvest

Three Bluffton area persons, Mr..
and Mrs. S. S. Bixel of near Bluff
ton and Noah Bixel of Pandora,
were among the thousands who wit
messed the colorful ceremonies at
tendant with the final harvesting of
a Michigan wheat tithing project
embracing $500 acres of waving
grain, at Adrian, Mich, last Thurs
day.
A sample field had been grown in
the Adrian fairgrounds where a pag-
cant of the various methods of relay
wheat harvesting was demonstrated
for visitors from all parts of the
Midwest.
The wheat was Graded, failed,
ground on stone and baked before
the eyes of the large throng.
Six years ago Perry Hayden, a
Quaker miller of Tecumseh, Mich,
was inspired by sermon and de-
cided to revive the ancient Biblical
practice of tithing. He planted a
cubic inch of wheat in a plot four
by eight feet. At harvest time he
gave the church one tenth of the
grain and replanted the rest.
Now at the end of six yearse OF
tithing the wheat, the original cubic
inch of seed has grown into 2,50C
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1946-08-08

acres of ripe waving grain harvested
Thursday before notables of the
church and agriculture.
250 FARMERS SHARE GRAIN
Hayden received the aid of Henry
Ford in tithing his wheat the first
five years, with Ford supplying the
ground. Last year the project had
increased to such proportions there
was no single acreage in Michigan
available for planting all of the
grain. Hayden then parceled the
seed wheat out to $50 farmers who
have planted Biblical wheat" and
who have promised one-tenth of the
harvest to their churches of various
denominations.
The project is being ended this
year because, if continued for nine
years, it would taken all the land in
West Virginia to handle the crop
and in 10 years would cover the
United States. It is estimated that
in the 18th year the crop would
cover the world.
