DOGy.
The magic carpet in this SCREEN
script is, of all things, an offensive
weapon. 1t is shown to have
rather magic powers for strafing
an enemy, a maneuver which in
wolves diving on ground troops and
throwing pepper in their eyes.
Naturally, this will be of small in
terest to air forces of the larger
nations, but for those too small
and poor to buy bombs and gaso-
line for aircraft, this kind of
magic carpet might be worth look
ing into.
Another difference between the
new type soaring rug and the old
model is that the former carries
a crew of two. pilot and gunner or
bomber.
These are fairly dramtic reve-
lations, and so is the fact that
there is kind of catapult ack-
ack used defensively against magic
carpets, but apart from this, THE
Magic Carpet" is extraordinarily
ordinary.
Like so many minor productions
OF hollywood these days. THE
Magic Carpet" has been able to
recruit a cast which suggests that
some once highly paid actors are
looking for anything.
Heading its list of performers,
for instance, is Lucille Ball. This
is girl who used to travel around
in the better class movie scripts,
and it must have been a highly
relaxed moment in which she
agreed to don a diaphanous dress
and pretend she belongs in a
harem. Beyond Miss Ball, lie
such players as John Agar, George
Tobias, Raymond Burr and Pa
tricia Medina.
There is a suggestion throughout
the work of all these that they are
not viewing THE Magic Carpet"
eye-to-eye with Director Lew Lam
ders. He seems to be committed to
the notion that this is fairy
tale or fantasy, while their con-
viction is that it is a farce.
Obviously, neither felt his posi-
tion was particularly worth fight
Ing for, even with magic carpet
dive-bombing the landscape of
old Bagdad.

Two Debutontes Presented by Parents
AS Gay Dances Foil Gloomy Weather

Rain didn't dampen the spirits
Of the debutante set yesterday
what with two gay dances to keep
them occupied.
The festivities began at to 7
tea dance at the Shoreham
Hotel and closed in the early
hours this morning with a dance
at the 1925 r Street Club. In
between, there was a dinner and
the struggle to change quickly
from a short dance dress to ball
gown and to keep both dry en-
route.
Responsible for the gaiety at the
twilight hour were Mr.. and Mrs.
John William Crowley, jr., of
Chevy Chase who took over the
spacious West Ballroom of the
Shoreham Hotel for the presenta-
ton. party OF. their vivacious
daughter, Margaret Meade.
While Sidney played tunes far
livelier than the beat of the rain
outdoors, Mrs. Crowley, Peggy, and
her great aunt, Mrs. James Henry
Kennedy of Palm Beach. Fla, re-
ceived the hundreds of guests of
all ages who came to meet the
pretty blond debutante. She wore
q hoopskirted dress of white tulle
appliqued with tiny flowers OF
white velvet and carried tradi-
tional old-fashion bouquet of pink
roses. Mrs. Crowley chose a
champagne colored lace street
length dress, while Mrs. Kennedy's
gown was a dark silk print which
glistened with bead trimming.
A screen of deep green leaves
intermixed with pale summer
flowers formed the background
to the receiving line and the buff
fet tables were set with large
bowls of the same flowers.
Mrs. Crowley was assisted at
the party by Mrs. William Peck,
Mrs. Haywood Bell and Mrs. Lee
benson. The debutante's assist
