James Mason is mean and ugly,
SO women all love him. Here's
what his home life is like .
W7HEN Great Britain's James Mason
w came to this country recently, his
entourage included five alley cats and
small and beautiful tigress, Pamela Mason,
to whom he is married.
His reputation as violent unpredictable
character preceded him. He justified it by
Immediately denouncing ]. Arthur Rank,
England's leading producer and Mason's
former boss.
II came here to get away from the rank
and vile, " he commented acidly. This might
be ambiguous as pun, but he was more
specific before he left England. He referred
to Rank as an unfeeling dictator. ''The
only way to work in England is for
Rank. l am going to the States.''
Exactly whom he is going to work for over
here is far from being settled issue. David
Rose, a Paramount representative, claims to
have him under contract, and threatens to
sue him for sum we'll over million dollars.
Mason's answer so far is to make bitter
remarks about Hollywood flesh peddlers."
They Have TO Take Il
MASON is inclined to dismiss all producers
with wave of the hand. He calls them
'button-makers" - apparently in his mind
the lowest form of creative activity.
Producers might stand up against all his
abuse - they have been called bad names
before - were it not for the fact that Mason
is currently the hottest actor" around.
Rank has made two pictures in which
Mason is starred. The first one is wicked
Lady," which Mason dislikes venomously
The other is odd Man Out" directed and
produced by Britain's ace director, Carol
Reed. Mason hasn't commented on that one.
In all of his threats and denunciations,
Mason is aided and abetted by his wife,
Pamela, who was born and bred an Ostrer -
which in England means very big film money.

Rites Take Place

hand. The opening diamond
lead was won in dummy with
the ace and the ace and king
of spades picked up the oppon-
ent's trumps. Then the ace and
king of hearts were cashed, the
diamond was led from dummy
to Mrs. Gutman's king, follow
ed by the queen Of diamonds.
At this point she led the four
of clubs and when East put on
the deuce, the nine was played
from dummy and held the
trick. The ace of clubs was
cashed and a club trick con-
coded. With both the North and
South hands holding trumps,
and stripped of hearts and dia-
monds, Mrs. Gutman said that
if the first club trick lost to
West. there was no return that
could defeat the contract. If she
had made the mistake of trying
to guess the location of the king
of clubs, or if the ace of clubs
had been cashed, followed by a
club toward her queen. she
would have lost two club tricks
and her contract.

Quotien
Will Help Keep
Peace In Home
BY RUTH MILLETT
NEA Staff Writer

Science may some tay be able
to test people for their "drink
quotient," says an educator. If
such a test were divised. the
educator points out, the man
with a DO of zero would know
that he couldn't touch alcohol,
the man with a limited toler-
ance would know just when to
stop drinking, and so on.
Such a test ought to do a lot
for the peace of the American
home. Among couples who
drink, every wife thinks she
knows exactly what her hus-
bands drink quotient is, and
vice versa.
The truth of the matter is.
the marriage partner is USUALLY
right.
When Minnie asks Joe to have
another one, it is because she
knows at exactly what drink
he stops being the life of the
party, and becomes beiligerent,
lndiscreetly amorous, or plain
silly.
And when Joe risks Minnie's
Ire by refusing a drink for her
1t IS because observation has
taught him that she loses her
vivaciousness and becomes
either shrill or glassy-eyed after
one more.
But husbands and wives seem
to resent instinctively having
their DO figured out by their
marriage partner. A scientific
Do should be a happy solution
to the problem of husbands or
wives warily watching one an
others drinking.
After all, a man doesn't get
mad if his wife reminds him
that he is allergic tc onions,
when he is on the point of eat
ing a beef stew.
