When Dallas Gilman Jack Wrath

determined to make movies, there
were those who were more than
somewhat skeptical.
"Just leave him alone and he'll
go home" they said. "wagging not
quite so much dough behind him. "
But Wrather stuck it out and

the knack of making money. In
this town that's what counts.
So, the people who at first said
Wrather's movie company was just
a mtllionaire's plaything, conceded
the man might be around town for
a while. Then they got to wonder
ing, what was the idea of Wrather
muscling into this business? He
didn't need the dough, so what was
he about?
Some people advanced the idea
that Jack was using this means to
advance the career of his long
time buddy, Don Castle. Don, who
was Wrather's roommate at the
University of Texas, has starred in
Wrather's movies.
Even if there were any truth in
the guess, Wrather didn't want
Castle to know about it. So he let
what he personally guaranteed was
the truth leak out:
Wrather is a whodunit fan. He

Rita Hayworth does not want any

her lawyer advises her to ask for

Martha Vickers is making her last

What Is Balance
Without Grace?
BY the Associated Press

Cyd Charlse, the lovely ballerina
MGM has finally taken out OF wraps
for Fiesta" and The Unfinished
Dance" says the old exercise of
balancing heavy books on the head
is an excellent practice.
Excellent" she adds, "if one de-
sires a fiat head"
If one does not desire a fiat head,
the exercise is something short of
excellent. The double goal of tome
toting, she says, is balance and
poise-which don't mean a thing If
you amt got that swing.
AS Cyd phrases it, Mere physical
balance is of little value to a
woman without grace of movement" i"
AS a matter of fact, Cyd believes
exercise has only one function. Its
not to reduce weight, or to gain
weight, but only to keep in shape
the body we already possess" she
says.
Which seems to be a remarkably
logical utterance for an artistic.
Cyd frequently has been cited as
one of the most graceful women in
the movies-even by dance directors
outside her own studio. And this
Is her secret:

from her highly placed daughter
to save the latter embarrassment
This sacrifice, of course, was made
only after the mother had saved
her lovely offspring from fate
worse than her own, which was
many times worse than death.
AS the good-bad woman, Lady
Erlynne, for whom Wilde had
boundless admiration, as well as a
considerable sense of utility, Miss
Skinner is a properly happy star.
AS the type did in life, she retrieves
Wilde from many of his most
hazardous follies, and reads his lines
as If she accepted his own estimate
Of his inordinate cleverness.
Beyond Miss Skinner, the stand
out performance is that of Miss
Winwood as the poisonous Duchess
of Berwick, a highly bred harridan
whose effect upon society (the one
called high) should have been much
more deadly than it seems to have
been.
The others. Miss Fellows as the
too easily DETECTED daughter, Man
ners as Lord Windermere, Bramwell
Fletcher as Lord Darlington, etc.,
are altogether adequate in f1inging
Wilde's carts at the intended tar
gets.

last night, via New York where it
enjoyed full, rich season. Washing
ton has every right to be quite happy
with its visit which will last three
weeks.
Lady Windermere's Fan" is gilt
tering theater, trade cliche which
means that the artificial has been
treated with such splendor that only
the hopeless misanthrope will refuse
to be taken in py it. A kings ram
som, when kings were deemed
worthy of being ransomed, clearly
was spent to recreate the opulence OF
Victorian society. 1t has the color
liveliness of a spring garden and
only the color blind will perceive
that the play beneath began drop
ping its petals quite some time ago.
Cecil Beaton, who designed this
LADY Windermere's Fam" is quite
certainly the magician most respon-
sible for its appeal. No designer has
so exQuisitely accomplished a trans
fusion to keep the theater alive by
bringing new life to one more re-
vival play.
This is not to imply that Beaton
is lacking in delightful collaborators
in the Nationals new attraction.
Miss Skinner and the other occu-
pants of Wilde's noble real estate
conduct themselves in the high style
which the playwright demanded OF
the people of his urbanely lethal
IMAGINATION. 1t is an excellent COM
pany which does precisely what d.
rector Jack Minister has deemed best
for a comedy SIS years old, and was
THAT artificial to begin with.
X X X
The aural impact of Lady Win
dermere's Fan" is sort of dull thud
in comparison with it's visual wallop.
In addition to Wilde's own per-
petual popularity, he has been para
phrased for so many years by so
many clever imitators and followers
that he has lost his singularity. 1t
is remarkable, however, that he
still is visible as an inspired pioneer
in the art of putting a point on the
English language and hurting 1t as
dart against humanity.
When one hears cynic defined
as "a man who knows the price OF
everything and the value OF no
thing" he realizes again that TINS
is where that was first said. 1t is
true Of several dozen other brilliant
segments of the dialogue that have
been strung together to make the
four acts of the Nationals comedy.
The sum total may be less than
play, but it is brilliant dictionary
of malicious wit and kind OF basic
rule book for the game of turning
the insult into a social asset.
Miss Skinner, Estelle Winwood,
David Manners, Judith Fellows and
the others in the cast of Lady
Windermere's Fan" have gayly &C
cepted the fact that there really is
nothing to act in Wildes durable
comedy. They are quite as well
aware as you are that he was not
creating people, or characters, but
mere spokesmen and spokeswomen.
They are there to talk and by
talking with the right infections
and with exact timing, they can
accomplish wonders in concealing
the morbid truth that Wildes plots
were something he would not dare
speak CT himself. This one, if any
one alive does not know, is pitiable
thing about a scapegrace society

A French soldiers friendship and

Three years ago this week Louis
Hanus, 20, youngest o of Mrs.
Celine Hanus, SO, of Woodstock,
died of liver disease at Fort de
France, Martinique, where Jean
Guyader, French colonial soldier,
was stationed.
Guyader and Hanus had become
friends when the Iowa youth, who
had joined the French army in
1910, had made his way to Martin
ique after escaping from a Ger
man prison samp.
During Hanus' illness, Guyader
wrote regularly to the loWan's
mother. The Frenchman's kind
ness SO deeply touched the Hanus
family that for two years they
sought to get Gudayer to America.
Ernest Hanus, brother of Louis,
sent Gudayer $500 for his passage
but many obstacles arose. Guday-
er was transferred to Morocco;
then he was moved to France
where bis home was at Garantes'
Brittany.
New Years day Guyader ap-
peared unannounced at the Hanu
home. He had unexpectedly been
permitted to sail on a boat which
left France Dec. 10 and reached
Woodstock on his own. :.

Butler of the World Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists who re- ported the progress that is attend ing the preaching of Matt. 24:14. This gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. and. then shall the end come" According to Mir. Butler nearly every tribe and nation in the world today can read the Book in their own language, as the Bible, in whole or in parts, is printed in nearly l,50o languages.
 Schools In Alaska
 Butler reminded the churches that Seventh-Day Adventists are working in approximately 1000 lan- guages and in more than 400 coun- tries. They are operating 3.l89 pri- mary schools and 269 academies and colleges with an enrolment of over 150000 students; 184 sanitar- iums, hospitals and treatment rooms.
 He reports five schools and one hospital operating in Alaska. They also operate one medical college with an A.MA. rating. These edu- caticnal and medical institutions represent al investment e over s300OO,0O0

 MT. Butler said that at the. close of the war Seventh-Day Adventists were among the first to answer the call for help. According to his re- port Is months they collected, pro- cessed and shipped over 500 tons of clothing, besides purchasing and distributing among the starving over s500,OC0 worth of food. While this distribution was accomplished through their regular church and benevolent organizations, it was given cut regardless of church af- filiation or political views.
 He reported that in l946 the more than 50 publishing houses, which publish only Biblical, health and character building literature. enjoyed a sale Of more than S10,- O0o,0O0 In the lands ravaged by war the property less was heavy It will take more than Sl5,000,000 to replace this loss.
