The Passing Show
The Passing Show
That Was Also Ethe|'s
Finest First Night
Miss Mern1on Broke Travel Rule
To Come But Ehoted She Did
By Joy Cormody

Miss Ethel Norman said a
pleasant thing at the National
Women's Press Club luncheon
In her honor the other day.
MY opening night at the
National was the greatest of
my career" she said.
This covers a lot of the musi-
cal dramas most brilliant first
nights for. in this realm of show
business, Miss Norman is Queen.
Each Of her openings is a coro-
nation, even in those isolated
instances when the subsequent
reign has been briefer than in
Call Me Madam"
Miss Norman was trying to
Halter no one with her COM
ment on her Washington OPEN
ing. and the concomitant re-
opening Of the National. She Is
a girl who has never needed
guile. Her most impressive per-
sonal gift-as distinct from the
professional ones-is her hon.
esty. No man can think of more
than one woman. If that many,
who Is Miss Merman's equal in
guilelessness.
It's So SoIeobIe
The marketability of that
quality In a city which still
talks about Dolly Madison is
obviously great. It is the per-
feet asset Of any woman who
would like to take Washing
ton by storm as Miss Norman
has taken it. It is fine also. of
course, to have her gifts of COM
edy and the truest, largest and
cleareSt voice in the micro
phone age. With these. plus such
. personality. there is no limit
70 where a girl can go here.
When she showed up at the
National last Monday night,
Miss Norman faced a Wash
1ngton that had been awaiting
her for % years-from Girl
Crazy" in 1882. A disastrous lot
can happen to a girl who keeps
any one waiting that long. Not
Miss Norman. What happened
IN her case had made the heart
grow tonder. If this is not max
Ing history, it is only because
historians do not recognize the
stuff when they see it.
Personality Potent
Miss Norman, off-stage, is
identical with Miss Norman on
stage. In the case of many per-
formers, this means they carry
the act out of the theater. In
Miss Merman's. however, the
reverse is true. She is an oasis
OF normality in a nerotic world.
One Of the first impressions
she gives is that she is the
woman who would tell you her
exact age If you asked it. At
one party here. during her busy
ArSt week, some one told her a
story about herself, tactfully
leaving out the date.
The other character in the
story is John K. Hutchens. New

The New York Times. J.K. H.
. droll man, likes to recall:
II claim to have discovered
only one actress. She was q
girl I heard sing once at the
Palace Theater. I gave her such
a rhapsodic notice she never
has been out Of work since.
Girl name Of Ethel Norman 1t
was"
THAT was % years ago." said
Miss Norman to the man who
deleted the date in telling the
story.
Speoks to the Point
Miss Merman's speech sug-
gests that she thinks the world
has only itself to blame for its
complexity. She, herself, uses
simple declarative sentences
that would do credit to the au-
thor. of Genesis. She obviously
can see no more reason for
mincing thoughts than words.
Any other actress one meets
might well take the defensive
for having waited % years to
keep a date with a city as at
tractive as this one. No one
could be more delighted than
Miss Norman that she finally
arrived. However, as to the
delay:
II don't like touring. I know
it is supposed to be good for the
theater. And for the people in
it. Me, I like the comforts of
home. More than that I like
being with my children. I think
the children of show people are
as entitled to a normal home
life as any other children"
The way she says it makes it
sound like the only sensible at
titude for any actress who has
fulfilled her biological destiny.
Obviously it is nothing of the
kind, but Miss Norman makes
it this convincing. And, in her
case. absolutely right.
Rules Are for Breokine
She wanted much to bring
Call Me Madam" here from
the beginning. She recognized
it as the exception in her list of
hits and to her policy of
Broadway and DONE"
Rules" she says, "have to be
broken"
She is breaking another of
her rules at the end of the four
weeks run of Madam" at the
National. This will involve 60
ing to Hollywood to make the
film version Of the political
minded musical. Up to now she
has made only one movie, a
short subject for Warmers in
the late 20s.
Its never been shown" she
says. disposing Of her first
movie career in four words.
Everything about her makes
her the perfect ambassador to
heal the almost four-year breach
between New York and the Ma
tional Theater. This lies outside
the role written for her by
Howard Lindsay, Russell Grouse,
and Irving Berlin. It was
written back in her straight
forward. uncomplex childhood
on Long Island when she was
looking ahead to a career as
somebody's secretary.

NEW 4OfLh.
The return of "Of Thee I
Sing" to Broadway this week
was an auspicious occasion.
This first musical ever to win
a Pulitzer prize came back on
the Goth anniversary of the day
it won the award.
"Of Thee I Sing" returns in
full glory, with all the charm
of the book by George S. Kauf-
man and Morris Ryskind, the
music by George Gershwin and
the lyrics by Ira Gershwin.
The other night Ira GershWin
told of the headaches that an
author and composer face when
they are bringing back one of
their previous hits. There are
even more, it seems, than when
they are getting ready with a
new show.
Times Different
I'm the original show" Gersh-
win said. I'VE were writing
about national situations in
1881. Those were the days of
the depression, we were getting
out of prohibition and away
from near beer. So we had a
song that said something like
we don't know about mora
torium, or how near we are to
beer
I'VE had to change that to
lyrics about We don't know
about your foreign policy. Or
the latest party smear"
In the original of "Of Thee I
Sing" some of the biggest laughs
came when the Vice President
commented about what 4 lot
of committees in Congress"

wouldn't be so much tension in
his relations with the press. It's
mob psychology" Ava went on,
referring to the gibes, verbal
and physical, hurled against
Sinatra since their marriage five
months ago. "One person or
writer takes a crack at him, and
others pick it up because it
seems the thing to do. They
know Frank can be needed, so
they let him have it,"

to Hollywood that he was keep
ing his appointments, being
nice to every one, turning up in
time for his TV show, and even
being pleasant to the fourth
estate. So. If his talent Is still
there. he has a chance.
It seems incredible that he
should have reached a point
where Universal = International
would cancel its second picture
with him because the first,
Meet Danny Wilson," lost
money. And that his agents,
MICA, would call it a day. That
he'd have to sell his swank
Office building in Beverly Hills.
That the 200 Sinatra fan clubs
should dwindle to four, and that
his fan mail could shrink to just
a handful of the faithful, but all
this happened to Ava's husband
in the space of a year.
It's a funny thing about Sina-
ira. Ava had seen him on the
Metro lot for years without find
ing him at all interesting, but
the two loose ends were bound
to get together. Ava has been
unjuStly blamed for breaking up
Frankie's marriage with Nancy,
but Sinatra was on a restless
prowl long before he fell sud-
denly in love with the gray
eyed brunette. Only, usually. he
was more discreet. The tipoff
came when he fought a photog-
rapher in Houston when he tried
to snap him with Ava. Nancy
decided not to understand. and
now he has to pay her $3.50, 900
against a percentage each year
of his earnings.

ARE YOU AGING?

The word aging" appears to
irritate SO many people.
This seems very strange because
the word FACING" only applies to
the changes that take place through
living. You can no more stop ag-
ing than you can stop time. 1t is
natural process in all living mat
ter.
But one does not have to became
cid unnecessarily. Our body is u
machine that is built to last far
over a century. 1t does not just
fall apart like the Gone Hoss Shay.
AS we live from babyhood to adult,
hood we are in the developing
stage. At about 25 years of age
we reach the pinnacle in our phys
zeal developing; the brain can pro-
coed to develop, in power but not in
size, until we are in our eighties.
From 25 years on our physical
life levels off and we may retain n
high state of physical activity until
we are in the fifties. In the seven
ties there is definite lowering of
our physical capabilities and we
say to ourselves, eve are getting
old"
But we don't age all at once. If
aging is change, we have aged
more in the nine months before we
were born than we do in the rest
Of long life. The early stages
Of our life are ones of contant and
2rowth-when we attain adulthood
we continue to change but we grow
no longer physically. In reality we
start to go backward, so to speak.
Our tissues start to shrink; the
skin changes In texture; muscle
tissues are prone to be displaced by
fatty tissue. But youth, adulthoo1
and later maturity are all stages in
our aging process.
The Committee on Aging of
Montgomery County is interested
in all aging individuals. In our
youth we lay the foundations of
health. In youth we prepare ou,
bodies for healthy adulthood or for
cickly old age. We are interested
IN preventing the scourages of old
age-the chronic illnesses and dis
abilities. The better we prepare
our youth to eat better and live
properly-according to the laws OF
Nature-the fewer sick old people
will we have. We will have many
more healthier older people if we
learn how to treat our bodies and
minds and we will have happier
older people. They will be Older
but not necessarily OLD. Prema-
ture cold age comes from abuse
of our physical powers, not from
