the year previous, the faithful
of the community had gathered
and organized Shiloh on MAY a.
1898, and that makes fifty years

many pillars. Among the found
ers were George Banks, a kin
of Mrs. Lena Walker who is one

Miss Stoddard, a lively type In
her own right, does not spend q
whole luncheon talking about Ak
mena. She has a great many SUBJ
jects. of which television is sample
On television, she says:
eff it is true that we were made
for each other-and no one has said
it was true-neither of us has dis
covered it.
ITO tell the truth, would rather
have seen my first performance IN
television than to have given it. It's
quite different, at least I'm sure 1t
should be, from acting in the thea
ter or in the movies. I can't tell you
how different, not yet, but am sure
it must be enormously So"
Her first television play was Noel
Coward's "Fumed Oak" Miss Stod-
dard was elated that it should be the
choice. AS native of Utah who
worked her way East by way OF Cali
fornia, she fancies she has quite a
Cockney accent.
"But did I get to try it?" she
asks. "I did not. They told me it
was a universal and could be done
in any accent-except my Cockney
one. Entirely apart from accent

YOU, we'll, I couldn't adjust to look
ing at the camera. 1t may have
been looking at me, as I supposed
it was, but it did not catch much OF
me-"
Looking back on it, Miss Stod-
dard thinks she worked harder than
any one else in the cast that per-
Torrance. The cameras deceived the
daylights out of her by picking out
only the actor, or actress, who was
speaking and letting the others ap-
pear If they chanced to be in the
right spot.
II have a feeling I did my finest
acting when the camera WASH t

She rather fancies that she and
teleyision will get along better an
other time.
eff only because we couldn't get
along any worse she adds.
** - -.
Last time Miss Stoddard came to
luncheon although she has eaten
lots of other places in between,
naturally was year ago, again just
before appearing at the Olney. AT
that time, her great summer prof.
ect was stock season at New York's s
City Center.
IT expected that to come up,
she admits when the subject does
come up. mo, it was not a success.
There we're II of us, you know. and,
looking back on it, I have to make
the disconcerting judgment that our
ideals were too high. did not think
ideals could be in the theater, but
ours were. We were all so cooper
ative, and so humble in our .ap-
proach to the project and to one
another, that no one had the spirit
to suggest anything that would work.
What we needed were a few egos
being their usual nasty selves. Be-
cause we did not have them, we
didn't have anything"
An honest woman, this Alkmena
Stoddard. And a wise one.

Donald O'Connor
Has a Broadway
Date in Fall

Larry Parks is really fuming at
Columbia. His wife, Betty Garrett,
wanted Larry-as a sort OF gag-to

of the big $4,000 test she has just
made at Metro. But Larry says
that even for this he was refused
permission, and Cameron Mitchell
was given the assignment for the
test with Betty!
Donald O'Connor has quite a
fancy plan for a stage play this
fall on Broadway in which he will
star. Don is talking up deal with
Jackie Coogan to co-star with him,
as a couple of ex-GIs, in Dollar

Don's wife, Gwenn, and Olga San
Juan would have the leading fem
mime roles.

Over a fruit salad, Miss Stoddard
will grant that she has periodic
Ilapses from this fascination be-
tween herself and Alkmena. At
such times, she is highly vulner-
able to other roles she deems suited
to her talents, and vice versa. Still
she always knows that Alkmena
will recur and that, from summer
to summer, she will have to play
the role created by Lynn Fontanne
in S. N. Behrman's adaptation OF
the old play. The "38" in the title,
by the way, means the 38th adap-
tation since the old Greeks first
saw "Amphrytryon."
Although it might we'll have been,
it was not Miss Fontanne VINO
started the enduring affection be-
tween Miss Stoddard and Afkmena.
She fell in love with the part SIM
ply through reading it, could never
rest until she played it, and can
not rest long now until she plays
it again.
The appearance at olney testi-
fes to this. "Amphrytryon 38" was
not formally a part of Miss Stod-
dard's plan for this summer. Her
schedule actually is built around
the old Ben Hecht- Charles Mac
Ar+o,,r force "Twentieth Century" :"
She and Mischa Auer will take
that on tour OF eight, possibly 10,
of the principal summer theaters.
Yet, even as she was mapping
this program, she had feeling
that "Amphytryon" would turn up
somewhere in the schedule. When
Olney's management invited her,
she thought of it first and it be-
came the first play on her pro-
gram.
i She is quite convinced now, that

SOCIAL ACTION THROUGH CLUB
PARTICIPATION, PRESS AND PUBLICITY

Clubs to the world and let people
know its motive, aims and accom-
plishments. One of the first es-
sentials to remember in dealing
with the press is that we get
publicity by doing something that's
worth the attention of the people.
With so much happening in the
world, national and international,
everything you do you are COM
peting with millions of others five
minutes after something happens
it is in the newspaper. AS indi-
vidual clubs we should have pro-
jects that would not only appeal
to people locally but nationally
as well. In order to carry out
this part of thte club program,
a publicity chairman must be
named. The publicity chairman is
a key position and the one select
ed for it must be an intelligent
and discerning person. She should
always bear in mind that STORY
is a good story only when you
do something. The story should
be pitched toward the style" of
the newspaper. The press is as
a rule most happy to cooperate
with clubs in the matter of pub
licizing theid program, activities,
and accomplishments if we make
it easier for the press to give us
the desired cooperation. We must
to make the press want to give
our work publicity. One technique
in this connection is to lease a
copy of our calendar with club
and society editions with the re-
quest that they publicize our meet
ing dates before the actual date
of the meeting: OF course, 1t is
most important that the press has
a through knowledge of the purpo-
Sc of our Clubs in order that
