for a star to play the role Of Joe

The new great is William War

the nation down under.
The news was just tipped to
your "behind the scenes pepper
by my friend, Jack Atlas, at MGM,
IL hours beofre columnist He'd
da Hopper. While I hastily scrib-
bled notes, he told me Warfield's
life story. Ryan predicts a great
er future for him than Paul Ro-
beson. Here's the story:
Warfield was chosen suddenly
to depict the big-voiced, good ma
tured husband Of Queenie after
many others had been considered
and tested all during the year. No
one at the studio had ever seen
him. No one even knew him.
Grand opera patrons, night club
fans, and screen star Melvyn
Douglas all praised him. News
from Australia about him glowed
so the the production department
of MGM decided that he was the
man.
A cablegram caught him in the
midst of a concert tour. The film
company made a lucrative offer,
and MGM booked clipper passage
for him to the United States. After
being rushed to the studios, he
passed screen tests perfectly.
Born in West Helena, Ark, he
moved as a little boy to Rochester
N. Y. with his parents. In high
school he took part in a singing
| contest in which he won first prize
singing from works by Handel.
He learned German, French, and
Italian. In New York he started
out by playing the piano and sing
ing in night clubs to make a liv-

ing. His night club appearances
earned for him a spot in the cast
Of "Call Ne Mister produced by
Melvin Douglas.
After touring with this show,
he began q concert tour in Aus
tralia where he was when his
screen opportunity came. Studio
officials think that he should be-
come a great scree actor.
Personally, / believe he will be
the first colored actor to sign a
long term contract here. Several
actresses : Nina Mae Mckinney,
Jeni lie Con, and Lena Horne have
been so engaged.
Otherwise, the studio probably
would not have gone to the ex-
pense and trouble it took to bring
him here. Under contract he can
be loaned" to other studios when
MGM is not using him.

Overquiet Child
By Angelo Potri

Healthy children are trouble
some to most adults. They are
noisy, demanding of time and at
tention, disorderly, hungry be-
tween meals, forever wanting to
be somewhere other than where
they are, so busy that sleep Is
a hated interruption and quiet
sitting severe punishment. They
get themselves dirty, scratched
and tousled, and have a perfectly
delightful time. The quiet child
is likely to be a welcome restful
pause in the days occupations.
His need for attention is too Of
ten overlooked until he becomes
too i'll to be overlooked longer.
Just what is the matter with
this child is a problem for the
experienced children's specialist,
the physician who devotes his life
to the care of children. The child
may need the help of a psychia-
trist and if so. the specialist will
say so. We must be most care
full in the selection Of the psy-
chiatrist so as to be certain that
he is fully accredited. Remem-
ber that a psychiatrist is first a
physician, then a specialist in the
treatment of the mind. Only such
a man should be called on for
mental diseases or mental condi-
tions that require skilled atten-
ton. If children are carefully
watched and tended, their health
checked regularly by the family
physician, a mental difficulty Sc
we're enough to call for the psy-
chiatrist's attention is not likely
to arise. The too-good child
needs watchful and understand
ing care to avoid any such diff
ficulty. What should be done
with him depends upon his con-
dition and only those in close
touch with him, guided by the
family physician, can know that.
When a healthy. happy child
upsets the even routine Of the
day, it may be comforting to re-
member that he IS healthy and
happy and in no danger Of be-
coming a mental patient.

become so dependent on cars that
we do not walk four blocks to a
store but get into our cars and go
there. This is partly due to habit
and also happens because of the
rush most folks live in. It is so
much quicker to get into a car
for errands, even those nearby,
than to walk.
Regular daily exercise does give
one pickup in energy. 1t is
especially fine if you can do this
outdoors. Well-known authorities
hold to the belief that the body
should be exercised. all of it's
muscles, daily. for the finest brand
of health and the greatest amount
of energy.
Yet, we go along without ever
really stirring up our circulation
or bringing the blood to the Sur
face of the body. If more women
would do this more compilations
would be clear, more women would
be attractive and vital. more fig
ures would be lovely and more
homes would be happy because
there would be less tension and
more laughter.
It should be pleasure to move
the body but only those women
who have tried regular exercise
know the feeling of fitness, of
aliveness, which follows a regular
program.
You have no time, you say?
Every one has plenty of time to
get fat, to become awkward and
stiff, to die. Then why not re-
vitalize your life by taking a little
time for those things which add
so much to enjoyment and energy
and happiness? OF course, if you
have not exercised for a long time
Especially if you are in the mid
dle-aged group, you start in very
slowly and build up gradually and
you should have your heart and
blood pressure checked before you
start.
If you would like to have a we'll
rounded routine for women, send

Adolescent boys and girls have
troubles all their own, big troubles
to them, and because so much OF
their struggle goes on inside them
selves we are often surprised and
shocked by the appearance of a
wrong thought that resulted in
wrong actions.
Junior was nearing his 18th
birthday but he was taller than
his father than almost any man
in the neighborhood-6 feet Q
inches. He was good boy. His
parents said so, and so did, his
teachers in high school and the
Sunday school he attended. He
did odd jobs in his spare time
and saved his money so that he
had some in the bank. That was
for higher education.
Imagine the shocked surprise
of his parents when a neighbor
whose chores the lad did every
afternoon appeared one evening
when the boy was attending a
Scout meeting to tell them that
he had been taking money from
the jar on the pantry shelf, in
which the neighbor dropped the
money he collected for the milk
he delivered to a couple of fam
lilies.

Good, old fashioned boiled icing
is a real compliment-getter. I usu-

stir until sugar is dissolved, which
should be before the mixture boils,
cover for the first 3 minutes
of boiling to prevent granulation
on sides of the pan. Remove cover,
but do not stir any more as it
may make the icing grainy. When
it begins to boil a little more
thickly test it for spinning a
thread. This test is more reliable
if the spoon is left in during the
cooking, as what is picked up for
the test is then as well cooked as
all the rest in the pan. a precau-
ton which should be important

have never tried to stiffen it by
returning it to a double boiler,
cooking it over hot water while
beating it until it stands in soft
peaks, as for 7-minute frosting,
but it would seem it would work
all right, as the proportions are
usually about the same. If, upon
testing it, you find it is overlooked,
spinning too long a thread, add
water again, the same amount as
originally, and start all over.
Should it Stiffen too quickly while
you are beating it, so you would
not be able to spread it easily, a
little cream added will soften 1t,
but be very sparing. Generally
speaking. as the ratio between
sugar and egg white changes, SO
should the degree Of cooking OF
the sirup. For example. one cup
of sugar to be used with two egg
whites should be cooked a little
longer than two cups. Of sugar to
be used with two egg whites. With
a greater proportion of egg you
will have a f1uffier icing. In these

it may be. one may not be able
to find sugar to spare for icings.

very sweet to us, almost too much
so, but we used it during the war
quite often. Either light or dark
corn sirup can be used, or, if you
like a different flavor for change,
try honey. None of these will give
the delicate outside crust with a
creamy inside that the boiled icing
will, however, as they seem to re-
main rather sticky, but if the cake
won't last long anyway they are
worth a try. With practice you
will probably be quite pleased with
the boiled icing. It's my favorite
by far, and is easiest for me. Good
luck to you with it.
