POETIC TRUTH
BY william Henry Huff for AMP

By William Henry Huff for AM
I ate left-overs from the pans
And almost ate from garbage cans;
This is true confession.
Although this was a bitter cup
My head was always lifted up
Throughout that great depression.
slept upon the trampled grass
Along beside seething mass
OF people who were weeping.
Those were the times that tried my
soul
And, yet, pressed toward the goal
While my comrades We're sleeping.

Explanation

By John Henrik Clarke for AMP
A smile of hope
And frown of despair,
A hangman's rope
And a scornful stare;
This, too, is America, you see,
But not what America was meant
to be.

Britains most famous institution - tea
"A ridiculous waste of time" she told her
horriied colleagues.
She hates flying, but will fly anywhere in
the world to keep theatrical appointment
She has good reason for her aversion to air
travel. The plane she was in when she last
left this country made forced landing in q
field - one engine gone. During the war.
when she was flying from Lisbon to London
the aircraft caught fire and she barely escaped
On the trip from Hollywood to Atlanta for the
premiere of GWTW, the plane ran into bad
weather and had to make forced LANDING

l RY as she may to ignore it, Gone With

career She won the role over Paulette Goddard
and nationwide competition. Southerners
were up in arms against her - an English eirl
playing Scarlett! The Ocala, Fla, chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confederacy
passed resolutions.
In Atlanta she delighted the townspeople
but shocked them by her innocent INQUIRY:
What is June bug?" For months after she
got letters enclosing samples of June bugs -
dead and alive. The California Agricultural
Commission took action. insisted on opening
all of her mail to guard against possible
beetle plague.
Her new picture, Anna Karenina," has
also been the subject of controversy. Creta

sion of the Tolstoy classic, and unkind
critics intimated that Carbo's shoes we're

Garbo." she says tersely.
Miss Leigh is>so entirely dedicated to the
theater, has so few friends who are not of the
profession or somehow connected with it, that
it is hard to say what she is like apart from
her career.
Almost Sorry She's Beautiful
oHE has temper without temperament, but
is generally amiable and extremely popular
She is ambitious without being greedy. She
has resisted offers of large sums to return to
Hollywood. makes pictures only when this

Vivien Leigh was born
in India, and she's at
home anywhere in the
world - except Hollywood
V7IvIEN LEIGH is the girl who can take an
Y Oscar and then leave it alone. The bit of
statuary she won for her role of Scarlett in
Gone With the Wind is kicking around
called for in eight years - the lady it belongs
tots touring Australia with repertory theater.
Before she left her home in England to
travel Down Under with the Old Vic Com
pany and her husband, Sir Laurence Olivier,
she attended London revival of GWTW.
Her only comment was -Four hours is long
time to stare at ones own face"
Nobody else has ever minded staring at
Vivien's face. She is rare beauty But that
means no more to her than does the Oscar
Her besetting fear is that people will mistake
her for movie actress.
Miss Leighs ambition is for the stage 1t is
consuming one that will permit no obstacle,
acknowledge no rival no. neither child nor
husband
Daughter Of the Cavalry
oHE knew she was going on the stage when
she was tiny child in - of all places -
Darjeeling. India, where her father was sta
toned as British cavalry officer. When she
was 10. she was momentarily diverted from
her career by her marriage to Herbert Leigh
Holman, British barrister Their child was
born two years later but as quickly as she
could find capable nurse, Miss Leigh set out
again IN pursuit of theatrical career
In 1910 she was divorced from Holman, and
married to the theater - via her second hus-
band Olivier
Neither movie success, bad notices, nor a
touch of tuberculosis have been able to deter
her from her stage ambitions. Eight years
ago, she appeared with Olivier in their version
of Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway. Verdict
OF the critics was that she was young enough
to look the part, but too young to play it.
I'll try it again when I'm &c." was Miss
Leigh's grim comment. That will be in few
years, and she will still look young enough
She was hospitalized after her movie
performance in ''Caesar and Cleopatra."
Diagnosis: spot on her lungs.

stage version of Skin of Our Teeth, -" perhaps
her greatest dramatic success and drove her

She is dynamo in stage rehearsals or on
the set. Let's get on with it," is her favorite
remark. Any kind of interruption of her
work throws her into a fury. She is the onlv
