Evening star., 1948-11-21

IT WAS big day when Rudy Zandor con-
Il sented to dine with me at Chasen's because
those were the years when he was astonishing
Hollywood with series of super productions.
He was another Sampson whose strength lay
not in his long hair but in his perfect self
confidence
The country he loved. the flag he followed,
the God he worshipped was Rudy Zandor
So put in the whole day working on my plot
and reached the restaurant rather full of hope.
Zandor was hardly an hour later, which
seemed good sign, and then he came in with
yes-man named Gregg and Jimmy Jones,
whose real name is Jonascsky. .Zandor raised
quite buzz with his entrance because he
always dressed for public appearances This
time he wore corduroy trousers, riding coat
buttoned high around the throat, and four
days whiskers. His friends were in dinner
jackets for contrast
Rudy was almost at my table when another
murmur started. All eyes left him, and in
came Raymond Vincent Etherton in his black
coat and white stock like an eighteenth
century ghost. 1t was rather hard on Zandor
to have his entrance messed up like that for
he was completely forgotten as the old man
went by. looking straight ahead and failing to
see the people who spoke to him. He went to
his usual corner. waited for his coffee and cog
nae, and contemplated the dignity of space
When Dave Chasen in person brought the
brandy, Etherton became gently and kindly
aware of him, for he was really distracted,
not merely high hat Thirty years before
when he consented to be King Arthur for
D. W. Griffith he must have been glorious
man.
SoME of the glory hung about him as Henri
Quatre in "Ivry" or as Richard the Lion
Hearted in The Talisman" He never was
cast except as king and he moved through
his parts without the slightest acting merely
lending his presence, as it we're. The whisper
had it that there wos dash of real royalty in
his blood but no one even in Hollywood dared
to suggest the bar-sinister to Etherton
Even Hollywood was surprised by the
appearance of such man on the screen He
was more rare legend than fact. That was
why Chasen's buzzed 50 this evening.
Zandor in eclipse. looked pretty sour.
That man." he said. pointing at Etherton.
WHO is hep
Jimmy Jones winked at me. 1t was the yes
man who gave the answer A celebrity in
Hollywood can't help accumulating them as
the north side of tree gathers moss
That's Raymond Vincent Etherton," said
Gregg.

want him to play Shylock," said Zandor
The Merchant of Venice after the big
western?" asked
Before" said Zandor I'm not doing the
western"
My hopes went crash; and at the same mo-
ment heard Gregg ordering caviar.
Jimmy said: "You can't buy an Etherton,
Rudy. He doesn't need money but he acts
now and then to raise the level of the screen
and show the world what royalty should be-"
Zandor waved his hand at Jones. You
bother me" he said. Go away"
Jimmy Jones went away.
Nov get Etherton. Offer him twenty-five
thousand" directed Zandor.
His Number Two boy went over to Ether
ton and felt little sick about Zandor and
about myself for being with him.
E1HER1oN was slipping his brandy when the
yes-man leaned over his table and started
talking. The old fellow showed no sign that
he heard syllable. Presently he laid bill
on the table, stood up, and walked through
the Number Two boy as though the fellow
were thin mist He passed out of Chasens
and Gregg came back to Zandor, astonished.
Nothing could stop him - not even your
name. Rudy" he said
why didn't you raise the bid?" asked
Zandor, furious. Il don't care what sort of
blood he has in him; nobody walks out on me.
Why didn't you offer him fifty thousand?"
But didn't have the authority" said the
yes-man.
Zandor looked him over from his chin to
the sleek of his hair and turned his shoulder:
it was plain that there was one parasite less
in his life.
1t was rotten dinner. tried to be bright
for while but gave it up after Zandor had
snarled few times. The great man was pre-
occupied. In the middle of his chicken caccta-

commanded.

The door of the house was open. l don't
know why this shocked me 50 much. 1t was
like seeing the great Etherton with his mouth
agape Zandor leaned on the bell. 1t made
thin chime of music far inside and we had no
other answer. Zandor went in.

followed him step and saw him pointing
to the living room; there was enough slanting
moonshine to show that it was empty. The
waxed floor shone like water but there was
not a stick of furniture
ZANDoR strode through the open door BE-
yond and into the kitchen There was rusted
gas stove. Something scurried away on shelf
and saw bit of mbbled cheese rind and
cracker crumbs. But Zandor was moving on
through naked dining room and into a bed
chamber that was furnished with box springs
on the floor, pier glass, and a big gilded
chair in front of the mirror In the chair sat
Etherton wrapped in black cloak with his
white head thrown back and his right hand
at his breast, supported by something.
He looked at us with deeply veiled eyes of
contempt and seemed about to make ges-
ture of silent dismissal 1t needed another
glance to see that all his gesturing had ended,
for what supported his hand was the hilt of
the little medieval dagger he had driven
through his heart
looked away from him to the three big
photographs which hung on the walls and
showed me Etherton as the Lon-Hearted in
heavy chain mail, as Henri Quatre with the
famous white plume in his helmet, as King
Arthur bearded like saint.
Understanding grew in me- Those rare
appearances of Etherton on the screen had
not been a casual amusement but the nerve
center of his whole life. His parts never had
been large but they had made him king and
with child's pitiful sincerity he had enclosed
himself within dream Rather than step
outside it, he had starved l could imagine
with what care he dressed himself this eve
ming, borrowed the last possible dollar from
pawnbroker and went out for the final time
to see if Hollywood once more would give
him shadowy throne. Instead, it preferred
to see in him the wicked money lender, 50 he
came home and erased himself from the page.

was right. did spot the hunger in him. He's
been on throne for thirty years but when he
got the Shylock offer, he knew that I'd seen
the starvation in his face The twenty-five
thousand scared him. He was tempted and
he almost fell. The fifty thousand would have
bought him, lock, stock and barrel But that
fool of Gregg didn't know how to bargain"
got out into the garden. 1t was warm
June night but was shivering. Zandor fol-
lowed me- The bigness of his voice made the
fountain pool tremble

PARIS, May 22.-The secret talks

allied under the Brussels Pact have
succeeded in achieving a consider
able degree of mutual understand
ing, according to latest word from
London.
Britain, France. Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg now
are repeatedly pretty well agreed on
matters pertaining to the co-ordina-

Standardization of their ornaments.
But there remains one major stum-
bling block. 1t seems both France

Strangely enough, it appears to

responsible for the government in

Reliable sources say Gen. De
Gaulle is willing that French naval
and air forces be subordinate to the
British but insists that no French
ground troops be either directly or
indirectly under British command.
He feels, it is reported. that in
case of war Britain would be the
withdrawal base for Europe while
France would be the turntable for
Western Europe's military distribu-
tions. The French should, therefore,
have supreme command over ground
troops, he argues.

Junior Practice Music
Nv the As,oe;o,sd Press


SPOKANE, Wash.-Parents who
wonder how to get Junior to prac-
tice his music lessons might pick up
some pointers from Ray K. Harris,
director of band music for Spokane's S
elementary schools.
Six years ago 10 thilden attended
his first city band practice. Now
400 youngsters from 80 schools are
band members. Mr.. Harris has four
all-city bands and individual bands
in a score of grade schools.
The progress reflects Mr.. Harris
ability to inspire genuine liking
of music-even the practicing.
Mr.. Harris expects his 'ung mu-
sicians to work hard. To some his
discipline might appear strict, but
not to his students.
LAS a matter of fact I hate to
discipline them," he says. II try to
smooth over a rough session. No
group should ever leave with hard
feelings"
He doesn't avoid criticism, but he
is generous with praise.
Children respond to affection"
he says. Il don't believe in being
stingy with praise. They must have
encouragement. Who doesn't need
it?"
His students must prove in indi-
vidual tryouts that they have earned
promotion before they move up to
better band.
Finally, Mr.. Harris makes par
ents full partners in his musical
projects.
I'm on the phone all the time
telling parents what should be done
at home" he says. Il ask all par
ents to attend our band rehearsals
so they can hear what is going
on and then can recognize any
weaknesses that can be remedied

De Gaulle Friends In Government.
Gen. De Gaulle's influence on .
government in which he is not
represented is one of the strangest
twists in French politics today.
The reasons for it?
Friends and admirers have gov
ernment positions and they are
using their influence in line with
De Gaulle views, which are shared
by large percentage Of the French
people. >.
Secondly, the general has made 1t
very clear that when he is returned
to power he will not feel bound by
previously taken decisions which go
contrary to his publicly expressed
ideas.
Gen. De Gaulle disapproves OF the
concessions made to Wet Nam lead
ers in Indo- China by the Schuman
government for example. He also
dislikes the present leadership OF
Western Europe and the projected
structure of Germany.

ICzechs to End Rotioning
OF Tobacco on July
By the Associated Press

PRAGUE.-On July all Czecho-
slovak tobacco will come of the
ration, including pipe tobacco ana
cigars. The announcement was
made by the government tobacco
monopoly.
The advent of the new Communist
controlled government saw an I'M
mediate betterment in the distribu-
ton of cigarettes of an American
type but very costly-the equivalent
of 80 cents for 20. Without any
announcement they were taken on
the ration and we're freely bought.
But the cheap Partisan cigarette
which sold for half the price re-
manned on ration. Another cigarette,
Morava. has always sold for 3 cents
a cigaret,2 Smokers wisecracked
that they reminded one of the new
mown hay from the fields OF Mora
via. but they smoked the things be-
cause they were never on ration.
Now Partisans, with strong South
ern European type of tobacco, are to
be on free sale with tobacco stocks
from Bulgaria and Yugoslavia ex-
pected to insure ample supplies.

was serving the Dorothy Thompson.
War Shipping Board. A month
after the baby's birth in preparing
to return home, the father was in
formed, he tells me, by the Ameri-
can consulate in Naples, that his
child was not an American. II
not, he had no legal status at all,
for in Italy the "jus sanguinis'
prevails, whereby a child has the
nationality of it's father.
Mr.. Rebholz, was informed that
the child had no American ma
tionaIity because under section
201-G of the 1910 Nationality Act,
a child born abroad Of an American
father who had not resided in the
United States for five years subse-
quent to his sixteenth birthday was
not American. Now, Mr.. Rebholz
had enlisted In the merchant
marine at the age of 10, and since
seamen do not spend their time
on American soit he had been
serving his country abroad In war
in q most dangerous occupation. He
also found that the law had been
waived for members Of the armed
forces and wanted to know what
was wrong with the merchant
marine.
Baby Gets Letter.
Not wishing to wait around for
his child to come on the quota, he
obtained a temporary visa under
which the baby entered the United
States IS months ago. Even
tually the baby received formal
letter reminding him that his ap-
pointed stay in the country was
ending
Mr.. Rebholtz insists that he visited
the State Department in Washington
and the Federal immigration au-
thorities in Chicago and received
no other answer but that the child
must re-innligrate. Consequently
he arranged to send the baby to his
wife's mother in Denmark on a
temporary Danish passport and by
air. The story got into the papers

Though this country pushed parti-

the danger of war are also getting
an airing which is highly distasteful
to the White House.
Forrestal Stated Views.
Their dissatisfaction was climaxed
recently when the Secretary seized
upon an opening in congressional
hearing to state his views. It was
discreetly done and the committee
did not press him. But it was all toe
clear to the administration where the
suspicion was promptly voiced that
the opening had been purposely Gre
ated and did not take Mr.. Forres-
tai by surprise.
The President Is bitterly aware
that there is no easy way out of the
Palestine dilemma. His temper has
not been improved by recent atten-
tion-calling to the highly political
atmosphere in which he made his
decisive Palestine maneuvers just
prior to the 1916 election.
Mr.. Truman has spoken harshly
of those who advised him then
and he appears to feel that his
Secretary of Defense is trying now
to bring a similar pressure to bear
on him. OF late these complaints
have mushroomed into expressions
of discomfort with the progress OF
unification and other defense mat
ters.
