Former Screen Star Works
As l. A. Delivery Clerk

LOS ANGELES.-A handsome,
graying man of 48 delivered cleo
ton equipment to polling places.
To election officials-m any of
them women-he was just another
$1-an-hour delivery. clerk.
But 20 years ago the man, Nils
Asther, was one of the movie S
great lovers and earning $4,000 a
week.
How does it feel to take a pay
cut to 81 an hour?
''Never felt better in my life, -
said the Swedish-born actor whose
love scenes with Greta Carlo were
among the screens most torrid.
He took the job with the city two
months ago.
81 came back to Hollywood from
New York IA months ago. Picture
discussions were in the wind, but
never materialized."
ST could not stand or afford the
idleness. A friend got me this job
and 1 like it very much"
AS one of Europe's top romantic
idols in the '2O's Asther was brought
here in 1927 to star in ''Sorrel and
Son." An instant hit, he next
played in "Our Dancing Daugh-
ters," the picture that made Joan
Crawford. AS Garbo's lover in
wild Orchids and 1.-THE Single
Standard" and as ''Her Cardboard
Lover" with Marion Davies, Asther
was shaded only by the late John
Gilbert as a screen romanticist.
Then came the talkies.
Asther had an accent. He quit.

Give Jackie A
Chance, Fan Writes

ST. LOUIS - (ANP) - Let Jackie
tell 'em off, too, fan wrote to the
Sporting News in the April 6 issue
B. Shilstone of Denver, Colo,
stated:
Commissioner A. B. Chandler
might have done better than call
Jackie Robinson on the carpet for
the little camp rumpus with Chris
Van Cuyk the other week.
For two years, Jackie has had
to accept verbal and physical on
slaughts from National league play
ers without a murmur. And in those
two years, Jackie has proved himself
many times over. He certainly is
entitled to the right of all competi-
tors the privilege to dish it out
just as he has received.
Must he go through his career
as he has up to date? If the answer
is yes, then baseball, not Robinson,
has failed, and he would do better
playing outside of organized ball.

Driscoll and a cast of actors who
manage to look and behave like

the inspiration for the original
story by Cornell Woolrich on
which Mel Dinelli based the script

himself out of his drab tenement

Is done before his eyes.
His story appears to Tommy's

The quality Of sincerity-of
people living in their normal
habitat-is further enhanced by
the dialogue of 'The Window"
It has the rhythm of speech. not
of literature: of people talking.
not of actors reading lines. The
melodrama of the film is consid-

the contrast with the normal. un-

it takes place. "The Window" is a
