An equal risk and a surprising

that they have continued year

up as hits again after they have
been carefully filed away among

handsome gray-haired woman,
works with, but not for, any Of the
studios of Hollywood. Nearly all
the stars know her; few know
what she actually does. She likes
it that way.
When a script calls for a genu-
inc setting, the kind that couldn't
be produced on a sound stage or
would cost too much if it could,
studio location managers send a
copy of the script to Mrs. Turner.
She does the scouting.
She Keeps Her Lists.
Often she doesn't even have to
hunt. Her memory is full of pic
turesque churches, typical farm
houses, English cottages, celebri-
ties show places, waterfront 10
Gales, dour 1890 residences full of
dark paneling and plushy furni-
ture. She has more than 10000
pictures of such places.
If she does have to go search
ing she makes her own photo
graphs and submits them to loca-
aaion departments, works out deals
with property owners provides in
surance policies. All her arrange
ments are written contracts. She
personally makes certain that
premises are not abused and that
studio crews get what they need.
The assistance league was
founded by Mrs. Hancock Ban
ming, prominent social leader and
member of an illustrious pioneer
family in Los Angeles. She con-
ceived the location bureau idea
insthe days of silent pictures. Film
directors appealed to her for some
plan to make notable edif1ces and
other private property available to
studios at reasonable cost.
Sometimes Mrs. Turner has to
bargain sharply with studios. On
one of her deals, for use of a
yacht, a movie executive told her:
IF we sign a contract at this fee.
you realize that we might as well
buy the blasted ship, don't you?''
That's right" she agreed
firmly. They signed.

When you see movie scenes of
an elaborate estate-too big to be
a movie set-maybe you wonder
how the filnf company found the
location and arranged for it's use.
Mrs. Lee Wray Turner can tell
you. For 26 years she has been
locating suitable houses, golf
courses, swimming pools, yachts
and other privately owned prop
erty needed by studios for exterior
sequences.
People who live in mansions or
run factories don't ordinarily rel
ish the nuisance of having a movie
troupe running all over the place
with lights, cameras and other
heavy gear. But very often they'll
go along with a good cause, and
that's Mrs. Turner's angle.
She is film location bureau
manager for the Assistance League
of Southern California. Those who
grant the use of their property
are paid nice fees by the studios,
and the leagues philanthropic
fund gets half of this money for
the nursery and youth club pro-
grams.
Revenue Is Handy.
Fees vary widely but apparently
range from $50 to $500 for houses,
depending upon size and the
length of time involved. The aver
age runs from $3.50 to $3.50. The
assistance league, a social service
organization, won't discuss sums
and the studios are vague.
But considering the frequency
with which studios require such
settings, the scheme provides a
significant source of revenue for
the league.

Living Gives
Gloria Her
Philosophy
By Bob Thomas
HOLLYWOOD.

1 am SICK anu LlreQ OF me-.
Well, / thought I had heard
everything from the mouths Of
movie stars, but this was some
thing new. The speaker was
Gloria Swanson. She had Just re-
turned from touring the United
States. and talking IA hours a
day. mostly about herself.
She had holed up in her noun
taintop home and was virtually
ipcommunicado. But she con-
sented to see me, particularly
since I promised not to make her
talk about Gloria Swanson. Not
much, anyway.
We sat beside her pool and
gazed down at the broad sweep
Of the Los Angeles plain, an eye
startling view. She stared at it
fcndly and then declared it Is a
dangerous place.
The Living Is Easy.
"Oh, the living Is wonderful
here" she began. That's the
trouble; It's too good. This is not
the right place for the movie in
dustry.
THAT may sound like treason,
but I've always believed it. I
think 1t was a shame when the
entire movie industry moved to
California. We had some fine
studios around New York. / made
some Of my best pictures at the
old Astoria Lot on Long Island.
THE trouble with Hollywood is
that everybody eats, breathes and
talks movies here. You can get
no different viewpoints. The liv-
ing is easy and people get lazy
and their creative powers suffer.
If I were a producer, I would
insist that the creative workers,
particularly the writer's, spend at
least six months out Of every two
years away from Hollywood"
Miss Swanson followed that
pattern during her first heyday
as film star.
She Took q Boat.
Il was always curious about
what was happening in the rest of
the world" she explained. "As
soon as I finished a picture, I
hoped a train to some other part
OF the country or got on a boat
for Europe"
That, she feels, is why she bore
up so we'll on her recent tour to
publicize Sunset Blvd" She
figures she travelled between 49,
900 and 10000 miles, talking all
the while. She had news and
radio interviews. rode in parades,

dignitaries, ETC.. and was late only

League Hits
Arms Race

A protest OF the stand OF the
administration in the race for
armament was issued yesterday
by the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom
in a letter to Secretary of State
Acheson.
The concluding action of a
three-day National board meet
ing held at the Methodist Build
ing, the statement of the league
urged the secretary to modify his
recent opinions of the suggestions
of Senators Mcmahon and Ty-
dings which propose possible al
ternatives to the continuation of
the race for war weapons. In his
statement, the secretary said,
"Our basic policy is to Gre
ate strength instead of weak
ness"
In its letter to the secretary,
the league declared, Your posi-
tion that peace can be secured by
piling up of ornaments rests, we
believe, not on facts but on an
illusion. The continuation of the
arms race instead of promoting
peace, increases the fear which
makes negotiations difficult If not
impossible. The statement that
the U. S. S. r. will yield only to
display of strength is danger
Gus since the Soviets are in a
position to meet force with force.
Under the circumstances it will
take more than the steadiness of
nerve to prevent the outbreak of
war"
The board also passed a reso-
luton urging the admission of
Spain as a member of the United
Nations. THE Women's Interna-
tional League for Peace and Free
dom believes that it will be only
when all countries operate within
the United Nations that interna-
tional authority and influence can
be effectively enforced and ex-

keep our love always as thrilling
as it now is? How shall we avoid
the pitfall of boredom? I never go

we do not want to. If we try not
to see each other too often, will
that help to keep our love always
romantic? ANXIOUS.
Answer: You can no more keep
the glamour and the romance of
young love than you can keep the
rosy mystery of the dawn from
turning into the full day. Nor can
you perpetuate thrills and keep
turning hot and cold over a thing
that has happened to you hun

Addressing a luncheon meeting

added: Equally important and
significant is the fact that the
cause of democracy in Southeast
Asia is directly involved in the
Philippine success, for Southeast
Asia, today in a fluid state, has
its attention focused on the
Philippines and how democracy
functions there"
The speaker also pointed out
that, from the viewpoint of for
eign trade, the Philippines serve
as a market for American pro-
ducts and a source of essential
commodities.
Explaining that Congress in

pay private property claims for
war damages in the Philippines,
Mr. Waring described the action
as IAN effort to fulfill promises
made to the Philippine people

which countless Filipinos had rem
dered to the Allied cause"
