Gentlemen-ladies, too-get ready
to face some ticklish facts. Boards,
all kinds of 'em, are about to grow
back on the male face!
Always forecasting the styles in
architecture, wearables, habits and
personal matters of every descrip-
ton, the motion pictures current
cycle of vari- bearded gents, in near
ly q score of big productions to be
released around the end Of 1947,
definitely points to a change in the
male hair scheme of things.
No matter whetlfer you're for it or
against, beard-growifig is taking a
big upswing all over the country.
You can praise or blame the Holly
wood fashion settlers for this fact,
according to Fred Fredericks, the
colony's best-posted hair stylist, who
had better know about such items
or he won't be working for Max
Factor any more.
Boards Not Alarming.
Factors hirsute specialist de-
clares that approximately Is per
cent more men are wearing boards
in America now than three years
ago. He further points out that
the landslide trend of costume epics,
which will start flowing into movie
houses in early fall, is bound to
exert a powerful influence on many
more male features.
"a walk down a mile length of
Hollywood, or Sunset boulevards to-
day." said Fredericks, offers ample
evidence of the swing toward hair
on mems faces. I have found the
same thing true in New York, while
reports from other metropolitan
areas are along much the same
line. These boards are not alarm

are variations of the small and neat

The Dybbuk'
Holds That

BY The Assoeioisd Press

NEW York.
"The Dybbuk,n q drama which
puts to shame the long run aspira-
1tions Of Life With Father" and
Tobacco Road" Is in its 25th year
in Tel Aviv, Palestine, and with the
end of the run nowhere in sight.
The s. Ansky drama, which
opened in January of 1922 in Moscow
to artistic acclaim, has prowled
through Europe under difficulties
which would shatter the tempera-
ments of some Of our local theatrical
geniuses, and during its latter phase
in Palestine has withstood the rigors
of internal riots, martial law, wars
and curfew
THE Dybbukp is heavily serious
story of the tortured soul of a suicide
who speaks through the lips and
mind of young girl.
The Habina Theater, producer,
would regard the American custom
of constantly changing casts de-
cidedly impermanent practice. Six
teen members of the original COM
pany still are on hand. The most
celebrated is Rovina, the only actress
ever to portray the role Of the hero
Inc, Leah"
In Palestine, 1.-THE Dybbuk" was
presented on porches, in barns, &C.
casionally right on the hard earth,
until September, 1945, when Habina
opened its own thdater in Tel Aviv.
Itzhak Norman, representative of
Habina in this country, a member
of the original Moscow cast, says
the play was Habina's first full
length play and the first time a full
length drama had been presented in
Hebrew. Every artist Of note in or
near Moscow at the time of the 1922
premiere attended, including Con-
stantin Stanislavski, high priest of
Russian drama; Maxim Cork and
Feodor Chaliapin.
Returned from Palestine less than
a month ago, Norman said he again
had seen the play performed, in the
company Of nine other persons who
also had been present at the 1922
first night.

1T still retains the classic beauty

1OlIL1 WOOO.
Where does AL Jolson end and
Larry Parks begin? Who is re-
sponsible for the success of 1.-THE
Jolson Story?"-Parks or Jolson?
These two questions are now per-
picking the Columbia Studio big
gies in general-and Larry Parks in
particular.
I had luncheon with Larry few
days ago. In spite of the tremen-
dous success of 1.-The Jolson Story"
which is expected to be the highest
grosser of all time for his studio, he
is not happy man. Here's why.
Before I made The Jolson
Story" says Larry, I'D already
made something like 80 pictures
here-mostly, if not all, B pictures,
And they gave me a new contract"
Lesser Ones Earn More.
1t must have seemed good at the
time because Larry signed it. 1t
doesn't look very good now, however,
because even the supporting players
in his pictures are earning more
than Larry. I believe he is now
getting something like $500 or $3.50
a week, and you can't get a good
supporting player these days for
that.
Parks, therefore, would be very
pleased to accept new deal. I do
think he rates it because whether
it's AL JolSon'S singing, or the Parks
face and personality, Larry is-and
could be kept with good pictures-a
big attraction on the screen. For
the past few months he has been in
the Number One spot of the
monthly "Photoplay" magazine poll
1T isn't actually so much the
money" Larry tells me. 81 want
to be sure that from now on I get
good pictures. The money follows
automatically. But you can't keep
much of it anyway"
That brings up thought. I Won
der what Al Jolson is doing with the
81, loo 900 he is supposed to have re-
ceived as his first dividend on the
picture and all the money $4,000 a
broadcast he receives for radio
guest shots with Crosby, Hope and
Benny?
Regardless of who IS responsible
for the success of 1.-THE Jolson Story"
-Jolson, Parks, or Producer Sidney
Skolsky-one thing is certain. The
picture was fantastic shot in the
arm for the dead and gone career
of Jolson whom you couldn't give
away for a radio show or movie as
recently as Is months ago.
Just Wants to Work.
Larry is now waiting for his next
picture assignment. He thinks 1t
will be 1.-THE Mating of Mile Nc
Gonigle" with Evelyn Reyes. He's
reaching the point where he doesn't
care too much what it is just as
long as he gets working again. That's
the way it always happens in Holly
wood. You either work yourself into
a breakdown, or you do nothing.

"You must have been a beau tiful baby" are not only the words to a popular song hit, but are the words to be heard some day by some lucy baby when she grows up.
 Sunday, April 20 the Cap and Gown Club of the Trellis Tenn pie, No. 663, B. P. O..E. of W. held a baby popularity contest at the St. Monica's Church. The judges were hard pressed to make a decision as there was even a set of triplets to further complicate their task. One of the judges was heard to remark that all babies are cute, and we can't help but agree for among those eptreed were: Elaine Stevens, E. Gary Nelson La Dome Smith, Cheryl Smith, Olive Hotter Jr., Pamela Ann Kitchen and Elizabeth c. Gas kins. However, after much de- liberation they finally decided that little, vivacious Elaine Stevens with her cute antics had won the first prize, and that second prize would go to B. Gary Nelson. Third prize was won by LaDonne Smith, with consolation prizes being award ed the rest of the contestants.
 The affair attracted a large gathering, and was adjudged a success by the club, of which Dt. Elnora Roane is chairman.

A few days ago the Hartford Times asked it's readers the a bove question editorially, only they did not have the Yes part attached to their quiry,,
 We can fully appreciate the right of any individual to ques- ton the wisdom of such legis- lation. But to save us we cannot understand why some people, standing in the very midst of certain moral and social dis crepancies, can continue to talk as though they will van ish oftheir own accord.
 In one section of this editor ial the following lines appear "Mens fundamental rights should be so clearly recognized and honored as to be respected without creating a board of 10 hearing examiners"
 Compare this fine opinion with the following information al comment that was made by Secretary Marshall at Moscow. s'To us a society is not free if law abiding citizens live in fear of being dened the right to work( or deprived of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 Both of these fine sources must be fully aware of the fact that America is not a Utopia when it comes to the application of democratic prin- cip1es.

The new drug is only effective if used in the early stages of the disease. After three months the human tuber- culosis germ becomes resistant to the drug.
