Persistent Flooding, logged and undauntaole
determination, alone-other things being
equal-bring or produce, success.
Many examples of success and failure
are to be found in the business and CONNER
cial field One man enters a business of his
own choosing, without any particular OBJ
jective just simply to be in business He
makes no special study of his undertaking
before or after entering it-blindy feeling
his way, hoping success will, in some un-
known way, come to him. But it doesn't. He
through lack Of knowledge, fails to study the
needs, likes and dislikes of those with whom
he deals, or hopes to deal. He fails, for the
same reason, to keep in store the varied
needs Of the public. His business does not
grow in proportion to demands. He fails, and
blames the public, not himself.
No business can go that does not grow,
expand. No business, or other undertaking
can grow or expand beyond the ability and
imagination of the man, or men, who oper-
ate such enterprises. Everything is measured
in the terms of mind, will-power and deter
mination. One man starts Pressing
shop. Ten years later, he has the same
pressing shop, with no more machinery, the
same inexperienced force Of workers is do
ing the same grade Of work he began doing,
serves no more people.
Another man starts out in the same
lines of business Ten years later he possess
es a modern cleaning plant, fully equipped
with modern machinery employs a large
force of workers, is doing everything in the
cleaning line Of business.
The difference in these two men lies in
ability, experience, the determination to
grow and expand, a willingness to study the
details of his business, cut out the spending
of much time in worthless pleasures, and in
Suitable desire to get ahead and render SER
vice uneXcelled
There is no such thing as success for
any man who Is not willing to pay the price
of seeing il through The Shreveport Sun

Every now and then some one mounts
the soapbox to declare to all and sundry
that the Republican party is finished unless
it wins the next election. These orators 60
on to say that the party is moribund, is out
of tune with the times, and does not have
the confidence of the people by way of ex-
planning why the party of Lincoln, Teddy
Roosevelt and Tom Dewey has been GU. Of
office for nearly 20 years.
This line has been preached so long that
many of the best minds in the Republican
party have fallen for it. This is one re-
porter, however who just can't swallow it.
In order to understand what has con-
tributed most to the failure of the Republ-
can party in national elections over the past
~ years, one has only to consider what has
happened in this country during that period.
Prior to 1910, no President of the
United States has sought a third term in
the White House. 1t is a we'll known fact
that today the President with his vast
power and prestige and the availability Of
media OF mass communication. not only
can force his nomination but under favor
able circumstances, can control or In
fluence enough votes to provide a
margin Of victory for his party. This
was shown in 1910, 1914 and 1913. when
public sentiment generally favored the Re-
publican candidates. but the pressure from
the ms through favors and threats, was
strong enough to change the tide. This will
always be a handicap Of Presidential cam
didate running against one seeking re-elec-
ton
The only times in our history when a
President seeking reelection has not been
successful have been on those occasions when

Zanuck was more than pass

studio don't usually dare to
make this type of approach.

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Average folks live in the
same house for Is years or
ENTHUSIASTICALLY for an en-
tire lifetime. That's not the
case with people of Hollywood.
The restless lads and lassies
who make the movies are row.
ers. Most are charged with
the same impulse to switch
the background of their per-
sonal lives as often as picture
roles. Moving-van operators
love them for this, even though
the landlords do not.
The latest of the glamour
group seeking new diggings is
Jane Wyman, who until a few
weeks ago had been one of the
least-active movers in town.
She has lived in a home just
south of Sunset boulevard for
six years-which isn't exactly
a record. but pretty close to
one, the movie-mover statis-
ticians think.
Siren Sea Calls.
Now Miss Wyman is getting
out of the house. and, for the
time being. will take a home at
the beach.
Jane plans to head for Eu-
rope soon after completing her
role as Wills wife in the War;
ner Bros movie, The Story of
Will Rogers" She probably
will seek new Beverly Hills
home after returning in the
fall.
Another exception to the
general rule of unrest is Joan
Crawford. She has lived in
the same Brentwood home for
more than 20 years, but salts
fies the desire for new sur
roundings by remodeling every
few minutes. Joan says that
there isn't a remaining piece
of wall, floor or roof left of
the original structure.
The most active of the movers
is Bette Davis, who changes her
residence more often even than
her spouses. and, in fact, aver
ages about three houses to a
husband. Miss Davis, who &C.
cupied a frame bungalow in the
heart of Hollywood when she
first arrived here, bought a
ranch-type home on Riverside
drive at the beginning of star
dom.
From then on her moves are
difficult to trace, but they range
from place in Laguna Beach,
recently sold, to a huge man
sion in Brentwood. She lived
in several valley homes, and.
at this moment, has moved back
into stately old showplace on
Franklin avenue which at one
time was the street of such old

NEW YORK.
Followers of exotic, uninhib-
tied music have left midtown
Broadway rendezvous and are
now flocking to lower Manhat-
tan to bounce to the Dixieland
jazz which is rapidly replacing
the be-bop craze.
Bop City" and similar places
on uptown Broadway were pop
ular for a time. but the expenses
for operating such places in that
high-rent area proved more
than the slim pocketbooks of
the be-bop fans could stand.
So it was a matter of eco

enthusiasts to transfer their

essence of his plays fascination.
THE Cocktain Party" is not q
great play. It says nothing that
other playwrights. philosophers
and poets have not said before.
What gives it merit far above
that of the usual dramatic prof.
ect is that it is the work of a
lively. searching mind cast in an
experimental mold.
The minds of other play
wrights, even successful ones,
have been rather VIGOROUSLY
lacking in liveliness and curios-
ity. AS for showing literary
facility comparable to Eliot's
and a willingness to be expert
mental, as he is so profoundly,
Eliot's colleagues are woefully
his interiors. They would as
soon show up at Sardi's in 10
gallon hats as dare to attempt
a literary play.
EliOt's Greed Stated.
OF the artistic credo-not the
religious one-behind 1.-THE
Cocktail Party" Elliot has writ
ten:
Poetic drama must try the
most daring thing, and surren-
der any momentary advantage
that may be got from making
up with nice poetry what is
lacking in dramatic quality. e.
My second notion is that l only
want to write plays of contem-
porary life. For me, at least, a
play set in the past. or in some
fictitious place or time, would
be an evasion of the immediate
task.
Il think that if poetic drama
is to establish itself again, after
300 years, it has got to show
that it can deal with what ap-
pears to be the most refractory
material: plot of contempt
rary people. such as the men
and women we know, in the
usual clothes that they wear to-
day, in the same perplexities,
conflicts and misunderstand-
ings that we and our acquaint-
ances get involved in. and ut
tering no lines that are not
relevant to the situation, the
mood and the dramatic action. F."
Whether or not the expert
ment has been the artistic sue
cess Eliot hoped, it's popular tri-
umph should suggest to other
and more timid writer's for the
theater that there is a place for
the venturesome spirit.
