There she set something OF q

Of IA plays which closed so fast

ically. this was just fine for Miss
Arthur. She was getting acting
knowledge from the best Of di-
rectors and from associating with
the best Of actors. She was also
getting the kind Of notices that
were so rhapsodic that Holly
wood approached her with a new
offer, this time one that would
permit her to select her own

unwanted personal publicity.
She has been doing fine ever

In time, 1t earned for her q

However, for all OF her care
fully nurtured, and somewhat
painfully acquired, obscurity
there never has been any secret
Of the basic facts Of her life.
This unsurprising and agree
able intelligence Is vouchsafed
this correspondent by Miss Mary
Ward who is in town paving the
way for Miss Arthur's arrival
September 20 in Bernard Shaw's
''St. JOAN" It occurred to us that
Miss Ward might have under
taken an arduous season work
ing with such q reputedly un-
cooperative actress as Miss
Arthur. It turns out we were
wrong.
She's a perfectly delightful,
charming person and the only
thing true about her, found, is
that she Is sincerely-but not in
ordinately- shy. Hollywood could
not understand this. the system
being what it is. But Miss Arthur
simply could never believe that
it was Of the slightest public con-
sequence what she ate for break
fast, thought Of clothes, now she
approached q given scene, etc. She
sincerely hoped 1t could and
would be interested In her acting.
Her later career in so many exc
cellent pictures - the last one
'Shane'-n1akes it clear that the
public was interested"
That apparently made Miss
Arthur happier than her distinc-
tion of being the Hollywood
press most frustrating actress
ever made her unhappy.
Nevertheless, it probably Is
true that her reticence would
leave the wizards on television
quiz panels looking blank and
embarrassed should they be
asked: who is Gladys Greene?"
Gladys Greene, of course. is
Miss Arthur. That's what she
was christened when she was

Of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Sidney
Greene. All told, the Greenes
were a family of six. the parents
and three sons, all Of the latter
older than Gladys. Father Greene
was a photographer and not a
rich one.
This absence of money was
especially frustrating to the
Greene's only daughter, but it
never inspired her to nominate
her life as the "least co-opera-
tive" When she could not at

Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER

Sorority members held full evening of business and program last Thursday evening at the Roy Wall residence. The group was pleased to have as guests Mrs. Carrie McLain, Mrs. Dick Roell and Mrs. Jennie Martin. Mrs. Lillian Castro was also with us for her first meeting after nearly four years absence from sorority work.
 New officers were installed for the next year. Betty Gustafson replaced Betty Alexander as the incoming president; Shirley Coed de took over the duties of vice president from Caroline Reader; Beverly Morgan will relieve May belle Lenert as corresponding sec retary; Caroline Reader replaces Shirley Goedde as recording sec retary; and treasurer Betty Gus tafson will be replaced by Ellen Waldhelm.
 Rita Harper was reinstalled as sponsor of the group and Omie Mccarthy, as director, will be working with us again next year.
 In appreciation for her work as president of Alaska Kappa Chapter since Feb. 1853, Betty Alexander was presented with a miniature gavel to be attached to her sorority badge. Shirley Coed de received a silver baby cup from the chapter for her great expectation.
 Roll call for the cultural pro- gram was answered by each girl giving description of some char acter whom the members were to identify. Such notables as George Washington, Scarlet O'Hara, John ny Appleseed and local figures were characterized.
 Then, as the main event of the program, each member gave from memory some worthy selection. The Gettysberg Address, selec- tions from the Bible and from Shakespeare, a portion from the Vision of Sir Launfal, and prov erb were among the recitations given.
 As a conclusion for a perfect evening, hostess Marie Wall served very nice cake and coffee.
