Douglas thinks too many Amer
leans are distressingly ill-informed
about politics and the American
system.
I'm Japan, where the people are
getting their first taste of democ-
racy, I heard japanese ask Amer
lean troops the simplest kind of
questions about legislative and other
procedures. 1t was appalling how
often our boys couldn't answer
them"
Douglas has directed and pro-
duced, as well as acted, on the stage.
In 1946 when he finished four years
in the Army, he announced that
he'd like to direct and produce for
the screen. q His first film project
is indefinite, but he says it won't
be a period piece. He doesn't like
period pictures.
He also doesn't believe in financing
ventures in which he works. Douglas
was co-producer of the Broadway
success, Call Me Mister" but he
says he didn't put any money into
the show. IT figured my services
we're enough. A percentage deal
that's a different matter. I'm In

Democrat, of California in Wash

about their careers. Both are
avowed liberals. Conservatives were
sticking the harpoon into Douglas

Nancy Walker is Broadway's lat
est comedy sensation.
The day after Look Ma, I'm Dane
ing" opened, the critics were describ-
ing her variously as terrific" "a
riot" hilarious" lone Of the funniest
people in the world" "the funniest
woman on the stage since Fannie
Brice" and "the best slapstick
comedian of the generation"
At Is she Is phenomenal per-
sonality with a virile vocabulary,
full features, menacing shoulders
and all the confidence of Bob Hope
A few years ago she was funny
little brown-haired kid with an
aggressive chin who used to hang
around backstage at "Helzapoppin,
where her father, Dewey Barto, was
working with Olsen and johnson.
One day she was watching the
knockout comedy team Of Barto
and Mann and said to herself
Holy smoke, I could do that"
George Abbott was casting Best
Foot Forward" and she went after
a job. Abbott watched the dead
pan youngster stuff across the stage
do a double take at the work light
and attack a jive number in the
melancholy manner of a Duse.
The legend is Abbott fell in the
aisle. In any event he wrote a
part in the show for her and she
was q riot.
Nancy says of her talent:
"You can't help but know some
thing about this stuff when you've
been around it all your life. It's
like having gravy spilled on YOU
you gotta wind up eating some OF It..
I learned timing in the wings"
Nancy's grandmother ran away
with a circus. Two aunts were
trapeze artists. Her father started
out as an acrobat. Her mother,
Myrtle Lawler, was variety dancer
until she died when Nancy was
eight. Nancy just took the name
WalKer.) ...>
Her father raised her in the music
halls of Europe.
Pop never pushed the theater
down my throat" she says. HE
always told me to do what I wanted
to do-and be good at 1t. What
could be a better life than this?
You work three hours a night and
people pay to applaud your work.
If you know anything better than
that I'll switch"
What her education lacked In
formality was made up in variety.
Her father made her take lessons
in painting, tennis, sculpture,
Spanish. ice skating. She studied
voice with five different teachers,
went to a convent in Germany, was
tutored in Paris.
When she was II she went to
the Feagin Dramatic School In
New York. But they'd never let
me do anything" she recalls, "be-
cause they said I wasn't any good. y
During rehearsals other experts
have had the same doubts. She
can't do anything without an audi
ence. After the second week of re-
hearsal one of the cast asked:
when does she start?" The star

Absent three years, Anna Stem re-
turns to the screen in a comedy role
in Lets Live a Little" She says
she was persuaded to take the part
by the combined urging of Robert
Cummings, Hedy Lamar" and Di-
rector Richard Wallace. All felt the
part was tailored for her. No doubt
another slight inducement was the
fact that her husband, Eugene
Frenke, Is the producer.
Russian-born Miss Stem was
brought to the United States In the
early 1930s by Sam Goldwyn. She
was famous then on the European
stage and screen. Goldwyn saw her
in 1.-The Brothers Karamazov," and
hustled her off to Hollywood. One
of the biggest advance publicity
campaigns in movie annals preceded
her.
Miss Stem retired after her mar
riage but she says she'll resume her
career If Lets Live" warrants.

his facial character line should be
accentuated with brown liner pencil
Wouldn't hurt Mr.. Truman to let his
hair grow somewhat longer all the
way around. No alterations in COS
tune scheme suggested. Clothes well
in type and character.
Directors Delight.
Gov. Thomas e. Dewey-No change
in appearance suggested beyono
standard makeup formula for news
reel or television. The Governor has
already trimmed down on yester.
years overly full moustache. Ir
emphatic speaking moments he
should guard against letting hair
slide down over forehead. Must be
careful in checking beard so that
stubble doesn't shadow face under
bright lights. He should not ac-
centuate facial lines with pencil, as
they are Of "dimply" rather than
rugged type.
Senator Robert A. Taft-In addi-
ton to standard screen or television
makeup, the Senator from Ohio
should darken eyebrows and hair at
the temples. Might wear his collars
a bit lower and perhaps half size
larger.
Henry A. Wallace-A casting di-
rectors delight. 1ron-gray hair per-
feet for either screen or television.
Should grow hair thicker at the
temples. No need for eyebrow dark
ening. Nothing more than stand
ard complexion make up needed for
films or television.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg-
basically fine in both
Washington and Hollywood tradi-
tions, strictly in classic "noblest
Roman of them all" pattern, re-
flecting dignity plus physical and
mental weight. Solidly rugged fea-
lures need no makeup other than
standard application. Hair and brows
dark enough to need no treatment.
Clothes in character. Hollywood
casting directors looking for a
statesman who looks like a states
man would pick him at once.
The Feminine Reaction.
Harold M. Stassen-His facial
almost identical with
Gen. Eisenhower's. Needs only
basic complexion make UP. Hair
and eyebrows need no treatment.
Lines show around face and over
forehead when speaking, but are
deep enough to be effective without
use of pencil. Collar trif1e too for
NAL. Tailoring fine.
Heaving a deep sign and stacking
up his photographs, Factor admit
ted he was going far out on a
wobbly limb in taking apart such
distinguished gentlemen.

Running for high political Office
these days Is a fright-filled Job for
campaigners who like to label them
selves rugged individualists. Holly
wood has put its finger on them!
If the candidate has a wart on his
nose, seams in his weather-beaten
face or two many chins, it's highly
advisable that he get in touch with
a beauty consultant.
If his hair is too shaggy or his
moustache too bushy, those are items
for the hair department to solve.
With the 1948 presidential race
rapidly slipping into high gear and
wide field of assorted candidates
jockeying for position, the new
look" in aspirants to the big job
looms more important than ever be-
fore. Newsreel cameras already are
giving the boys a good working over,

How do they stack up from the

they can do, before the campaign
grows hot, to improve their general
appearance on theater and home
screens?
We presented these pertinent
queries to Max Factor. jr, famous
makeup caterer to the motion
picture stars of screenland. After
careful study of their still photo
graphs and of action shots in recent
newsreels, Factor sums up their
appearance requirements:
President Truman-Defin1tely

shadows face in many newsreel
shots. For television. the President
should slightly darken hair at
temples to provide contrast to the
complexion. For screen or television

 Dear MT. Jackson:

Everyone is pleased, am certain that Nome will undoubtedly have fine, modern hospital facility in the not too distant future We certainly must commend the Women's Division of Christian Service of the Methodist Church for the prompt and courageous efforts that they have put forth to erect the hospital immediately They financing the greatest share of the cost Other finances those from the so-called McDougal Fund, understand, and the remainder is to from the Territorial appropriation under Chapter 90 of the Session Laws of Alaska 1947 and from Federal grants through the Department of Health of $2000 O00 The processing of the Federal grants is unfortunately slow It will not therefore, be available until sometime in November.
 have been advised that the construction work has progressed very rapidly and that the contractor is eligible for a subsantia payment The unfortunate fact is that the Territorial appropriated fund of $5OO0O is not available because the Territory of Alaska taly bankrup and in the absence of to meet them, many appropriations including this one have been frozen Certainly these funds will become avail able at the time of the next session o the Legislature but the funds needed now. Therefore, am writing to you and other citizens of Nome, hoping that this communty-spirted group might work out plan whereby the $50,000 could be advanced to the Methodist Board until suitable revenue measures to allow repayment passed by the Legislature next spring Those receiving copy of this letter are
