Film Star Lights Dim
As Story Value Rises
The Plays the Thing in. Hollywood
Except in Case of Few Big Names
By Bob Thomos
Associated Press Stoff Writer

Nor are people stars merely be-
cause they earn three or four
thousand dollars a week.
Nor does billing make a star.
An actor Is not q star because his
name is In big type, or even be-
cause his name appears above the
pictures title. This is a gimmick
used by the studios to make their
performers seem important.
It Is not the studios who make
stars. but the movie-going public.
And the public has made fewer
stars than you think.
In strict sense, a real star is
one the public will pay to see re-
CARELESS of the vehicle.
Hollywood today has perhaps 10
or IL real stars. They include
Bing Crosby. Bob Hope. Betty
Cradle. Cary Grant, Clark Gable,
Alan Ladd, Fred Astaire and
few others Il can't name them all
or the ones leave out will be mad
at me.) These are the genuine
stars. who generally can attract
an audience no matter what pic
ture they are in. 4
Esther Star In Water.
There are others who are stars
by circumstances. This Is best
illustrated by the reply OF .

Likewise, Humphrey Bogart with
Ia gun in his hand is star.
Clifton Webb as Belyedere Is
star. James Stewart in the right
vehicle is a star. Or Burt Lam
caster in an action film.
Others can become stars when
teamed with another name. For
instance. Jane Russell and Robert
Mitchum. June Allyson and Gene
Kelly.
But today only handful Of
stars are considered sure-fire at
the box Office and all Of them havs
failed on occasion. 1t appears
that the public no longer feeds
on personalities, but demands also
that the story be credible and
entertaining.
The plays the thing in Holly
wood today, not the star.

Today's Editorial.

On Oct. 80, the date designated
by the National JACL as Nisei Sol
der Memorial day, flowers were
placed on the graves Of fallen Nisei
war heroes throughout the land.
The war ended six years ago. That
Is rather a short time, and today.
while memories are still compare
lively fresh. the dead Nisei will not
be forgotten.
But viii they be remembered with
equal solemnity and honor 10 and 20
years hence?
Our lives are becoming increas-
ingly complex. Our thinking is get
ting more confused.
The international situation con-
tinues to worsen, the pace Of living
continues to become accelerated.
and the pressure upon us to meet
the rising cost of existence bears
down heavily upon us daily.
Under such circumstances it
would be easy to forget. But that
would be an inexcusable and sacri-
ligious thing to do.
Nisei war widows who are bravely
carrying on alone, and Sansei child
rem who are growing up without the
important guidance and companion

ship of fathers should be constant
reminders to us Of the terrible price
paid by Nisei fighting men.
To them, World War II has not
ended, and never will.
1t would be well for all of US to
remember. above all, that the secu-
rity we all enjoy today is due in a
large measure to the valiant boys
who went to war never to return.
Those lads went into the service
with their eyes wide open. They
knew what they were fighting for,
more than any other group Of Ame-
rican youth.
They went to the fields of battle
to prove that they and their bro
theirs and sisters and children were
loyal Americans.
That they demonstrated that fact
far beyond their widest hopes is
something for Us to engrave indeli-
bly, upon our minds.
They did not live to see and enjoy
the fruits of their triumph, but left
it as a legacy for their loved ones
and fellow Nisei
1t was a horrible way to have to
prove their loyalty. 1t is a sad
commentary that in a democracy
young men had to go out and show
their allegiance in such a costly
manner.
We all have greater freedom and
greater opportunity today than at
any previous time.
The racial hatreds fomented by
the war with Japan were quickly
dissipated by the heroism and high
sense of duty of the Nisei war dead.
Doors of places of employment
that were closed to us before the
war are now open. People who
would not accept Us in pre-war days
now regard us in a different light.
Surely, to those who made posi-
BILE this improved way Of life. we owe
an unbounded debt of gratitude.
We should remember them with
honor and humility. not only on Oct.
80, but throughout the year, every
year.

letter commenting On the valeda
was received by us this week from
Etsuko Ichikawa, president of that
group. an all-Nisei women's organi-
zation on the University of WASH
ington campus. Miss Ichikawa
states her points well. citing strong
case as to why valeda.
As requested, we shall inform the
young man who was so disturbed
about the plight of the Nisei women
On the campus, that he need not
concern himself with Nisei girls be-
ing in shell on the University"
He. and we had quite discussion:
our only defense was the Sigma
Kappa incident in Idaho. Natural
ly. not being member of valeda,
we were unable to bring out any
other plausible reasons for the exis-
tence of the valeda.
Miss Ichikawa, your letter should
erase any doubts left in that young
mans mind.
And now Miss Ichikawa's letter in
defense of valeda:
Dear Editor, Northwest Times:
Since a Mr.. Somebody" is so
concerned over the plight of us Nj
sci women on campus, I would like
to enlighten him on few things
with which he seems to be so totally
ignorant. First, he questions the
wisdom of an all-Nisei organiza-
ton; second, he asks why we do not
mingle with Caucasians, and third.
he wonders why we do not accept
bids to sororities. Since you have
already explained the third, would
like to enlarge on the first two.
There we're times when we our
selves questioned the wisdom of
having an all-Nisei women's orga-
nization. but since then we have
come to realize true need for one.
New girls come from in and out of
town every year to the campus. and
although they find friends among
the Caucasians, they appreciate a
group through which they can meet
Nisei girls like themselves, and
moreover, Nisei fellows. Although
some Of the girls do date Caucasian

boys, most of them prefer Nisei fell
lows in the long run. We, in Vale
das, make it a policy to interest our
girls in other campus activities. We
have Representatives to various o.
ther groups on campus. In order
not to monopolize the girls time.
We never have more than two get
togethers a month.
If this somebody" were on cam
pus long enough to observe the girls.
I'm sure he would not have asked
why they don't mingle with Cauca-
SLAMS. They do-both in and out of
class. The girls, moreover, need not
belong to sororities to get into the
Swing" of things We have girls

clubs, and the Independent Wo-
mems Association. rather doubt
that many of US miss the sororities
Tell this person that he need not
concern himself with Nisei girls be-
ing in shell on the University. One
finds people who stick within a
small radius in any group and we
may have few like that among us.
However, feel that as a whole, the
Nisei college women today have a
real purpose in going to college,
they have a brighter future, and
they are broader minded and better
assimilated into the society of the
campus than ever before.
Yours truly,

place, everything should be
done to encourage and pro-
mote it. Added plane service
is one such move, and we
welcome it.

WELCOME EASTERN AIRLINES
EFFORT whatever to bring this place closer to the
rest of the world is a welcome effort indeed. The linking of
these Islands with Puerto Rico, Miami and New York through
Eastern ArlneS is a move which we welcome, and should
take every step possible to bring it about smoothly and pro-
fitably for all concerned.
TOURISM IS one of our biggest businesses. We must
gear our economy to accommodate the largest possible num-
Der of tourists, over an ever widening period in the year. Since
air passenger travel has become the most important method
since World War II, tourism will naturally develop in relation
as the means of transportation are made more adequate. The
appearance of another well recognized airline is a desirable
move indeed.
BENEDICT FIELD here is one of the finest air bases
in this area. It can accommodate the largest planes, and hav-
ing been an Army air base is fully equipped for heavy traffic.
Centrally located in the southern section of the island free
from obsructing hills, approach from all sides is easy smooth.
From this location there is easy access to both towns, which
is another advantage.
THE T of travel plans have not as yet been re-
leased, and are still under study. However, whether ships will
make direct runs or connect with their regular runs from
Puerto Rico, the added travel facility should prove of con-
siderable aid to the overall tourist picture.
THERE WAS A time when the Virgin Islands were five
to seven days away from New York. Not so today. Eight
hours, or an overnight trip will find the passenger in these
parts having the night before stepped aboard in New York.
With this kind of travel, if frequent enough, the local hotels
and the Tourist Board can follow the plans put forward on
the mainland. There tourist agencies offer what they call
"quickie" vacations. A busy businessman or professional, hav-
ing only a few days could take in one of these vacations with
out having to spend all the time in going to and from the va
cation spot. With added plane service and more frequent
arrivals and departures all sorts Of vacation possibilities could
be worked out.
