(o|ored High School.
IN Southeast Urqed

A high school for colored students
was listed as the most important of
the school needs in the Southeast
section by recent high school grad
late who addressed the meeting OF
the Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations last night.
Jacquelyn Read, liz Wilmington
place Sc. who was graduated from
the Anacostia Senior High School in
January. explained that there is no
senior high school for the colored on
the Southeast side of the Anacostia
River and that it takes some pupils
as much as two hours to get to
school.
Next in Importance, Jacquelyn
said. is the need for permanent
teachers. Many of the teachers now
are working on temporary basis.
Most Of the schools for the white
children are overerowded, she said,
even though three of'the nine in the
Southeast section are not serving as
many as they were built for.
1T Is better to build the school
rooms for the boy than the Jail and
gibbets for the men," she declared.
The Fort Dupont Citizens Asso-
citation was. admitted to the council,
thus making a total OF 13 member
bodies.
The council will support the reso-
luton of the Anacostia Citizens
Association requesting that a perma-
nent library be built at 18th street
and Good Hope road Sc. 1t also
decided to support the resolution by
the Washington Highlands Citizens
Association, which urges that an
elementary school be built which
would serve that area.
The president was empowered to
call special meeting within the
next two weeks for the purpose to
discuss the proposed sales tax. The
date of the meeting will be an
nounced later.

Woman
Producer
BY RUSSELL LANDSTROM

ONDON.-''Bloodthirsty'' Betty
Box, they facetiously call Britain's
first woman movie producer-and
one of the few in the world-all
because she scorns the overworked
boy-meets-girl film formula in
favor of themes rooted in phobias,
fixations and completes.
Abnormal psychology, rather
than adolescent mating, commands
Eher greatest professional interest,
and as this is the often dark,
mysterious field in which homicidal
dramatics get full play, it was a
good bet that friends and admirers
would so tag a poisoning reputa-
ton for Freudian fidelity in the
making of ere thrillers.
Blonde, slight of build, impec-
cably clothed, and amply young
enough to keep her age out of the
publicity without prompting en-
vious sarcasm, Betty Box fatty
repudiates any implications, mock
or real, that she has a sanguinary
temperament. Chic and efficient,
she might be the owner of a fash
ionable gown shop, a fine arts
teacher, a BIC announcer, or one
of the ar~istocratic junior set that
gave up charming idleness for ex-
acting war work.
However tempting speculation
on her potentialities may be, the
facts lend her sufficient distinc.
ton. Acknowledging that she has
taken cinematic inspiration from
the expansive Alfred Hitchcock,
master of suspense and chills, she
nevertheless is too much an indi-
vidualist to be content with that
alone. She affirms a belief that
her future as a producer lies
chiefly in the crative develop
ment of modern psychological
ideas, interpreted %urbanely, ironi.
cally and subtly. She doesn't want
to be another Hitchcock, nor a
second anybody else, but a new
force in British ~pictures-on her
own.
Virtually solo, her first venture,
under a contract giving her the
unprecedented job of producing
four major feature pictures a year
in association with her brother,
Sydney Box, is Dear Murderer
a tense, analytical crime story
which was adapted from a popular
London play. Costing about a hat
million dollars, in American
money, and starring Eric Port

of pearls and orange blossoms and
she carried a white prayer book
covered with an orchid and show
cred with tiny gladiola and fern.
Her only ornament was a gold
bracelet, a gift from the bride
groom. Mrs. Ashley Landlord ot

was matron-of-honor and Miss
Lois johnson Of Newport News,
sister of the bride, was maid-of.
honor. They wore identical gowns
OF white net over taffeta, made
with sweetheart necklines, torso
bodice bracelet length sleeves and
very full skirts and a headdress o.
white net. They carried colonial
bouquets of red roses.
Preston Matthews of Norfolk was
best man. The ushers were Ashley
Landlord and Charlie Brett OF
como. The brides mother wore a
dress of black crepe appliqued with
satin, black accessories, furs. ice
blue feather hat and a corsage of
g~ardenias. The mother of the bride
groom wore a suit of brown CAB
ardlne, brown accessories, Kolin-
sky furs, a hat of gold felt and a
corsage of yellow roses.
Immediately after the ceremony
there was a reception at the home
OF the bride for the bridal party,
relatives and a few friends. Cake.
