British Actress
Hasn't The Time
For Royal Show

LONDON HEBritish movie star
Susan Stephen stunned the theatri-
cal world today by announcing that
she has withdrawn from the annu-
al royal variety show.
Too busy making a movie, she
explained.
The yearly extravaganza staged
especially for Queen Elizabeth II
is to be held next Monday at tn
Palladium Theater. Bids to take
part are treasured by the grease
paint set. Comedian Bob Hope, for
instance, has flown here all the
way from Hollywood.
''It is not really correct to say
that I refused to appear" the 22-
year-old Miss Stephen told news
men. 81 just felt l could not do
justice to the occasion by going on
unrehearsed."

kiss Ne Kate
ToBeShoWn
At The Monroe

''Kiss Me Kate" one of Broad
ways greatest musical comedy
hits, has been brought to the screen
In Ansco Color in an opulent and
tasteful film version by M.G-M and
bids fair to become an all-time
leader in the filed of film musi-
Gals. 1t opens Sunday at the Mon
roe Theatre.
One Of the few shows ever to
achieve a run of more than two
years on Brodway, this spectacu,
larly popular Cole Porter hit, with
its play by Samuel and Bella Spe-
wack, is as gay, lifting and saucy
on the screen as in its stage pres
entation. Its hilariously rowdy story
of a temperamental actress (Kath-
ryn Grayson) given to hurting
flower pots and her equally force
full vis-a-vis (Howard KeeD who
tames her first with a royal spank
ing and then with bull whip, has
the humor, color and lightning ac-
ton which lends itself happily to
camera treatment, particularly as
presented here on the spectacular
Wide Screen and with Stereophon-
ic Sound.
Highlighting the laughs, Shake
spearean drolleries Of the story's
Tanning Of the Shrew" play-with-
in-a-play sequences, and the ro-
mantle dilemmas is the musical
score Of some fourteen song, con-
sidered to be the most varied and
brilliant ever to come from the
prolific Cole Porter pen. They in
clude the romantic ''Wunderbar, "
the haunting $50 In Love-" the sly
Always True to You in My FASH
ion," the spirited 81 Hate Men, /"
the torrid "Too Darn Hot" (danc-
ed by Ann Miller and the rowdy
Brush Up Your Shakespeare" as
well as "Were Thine That Special
Face" ''I've Come To Wive 1t
Wealthy In Padua," I've Open
In Venice" ''Tom, Dick Or Har-
ry," "Why Can't You Behave, "
where Is the Life That Late
Led" From This Moment On
and $50 Kiss Me Kate" Most OF
them became instant hits the day
after the plays Broadway opening,
and as sung and danced by the
pictures stars they provide some
of the happiest moments Of ''Kiss
Me Kate"

Concert Given
Without Maestro

NEW YORK R-Arturo Tosca-
minis orchestra, the former NBC
Symphony, gave a concert here
last night without the Maestro
in fact, with the conductors stand
conspicuously empty.
After Toscanini announced his
retirement and returned to his ma
tive Italy, NBC disbanded the
group.
But last night they assembled at
Carnegie Hall and won long and
loud applause from a large crowd.
Concert master Daniel Outlet
gave the men their cues.
Toscanini had been invited to
return and conduct the concert,
but his son Walter cabled from

Poignant Film
Drama Stars
Shirley Booth

A magnificent blending of provo
catiye, adult drama with a rare
casting combination sparks Hal
Wallis brand new, deeply moving
Paramount film, about Mrs. Les
lie," which is due to open Sunday
at the Strand Theatre. Starring
Miss Shirley Booth in her first
screen appearance since her stir
ring Academy Award performance
in Come Back, Little Sheba," and
co-starring Robert Ryan, the alb.
sorbing tale concerns an unusual
friendship between a night club
singer and a nationally known i'm
dustrialist.
The romantic alliance Is q uni
que affair in that they see one am
other only six weeks out of the
year during an annual vacation.
Also the woman, Miss Booth, does
not know the real identity or back
ground Of Ryan, the man. Related
by the subtle use of flashbacks the
absorbing emotional conflicts are
deity unraveled. E
What happens to Miss Booth
when her idyl is exploded and she
is faced with the necessity of max
ing a future for herself; how she
solves her own personal problems
and how she affects those about
her, makes for one of the most
absorbing and compelling human
interest stories ever put on cellu-
loid. Advance audiences have been
particularly ecstatic in their praise
for the magical quality of the act
ing Of Shirley Booth and Mr.. Ryan
in their difficult to portray char
acters.
Co-starring with these two for
midable thespians are a pair Of
fresh new youngsters, Marie Mil
lar and Alex Nicol. They are seen
as two boarders in the rooming
house that Miss Booth opens when
her relationship with Ryan meets
an Inflated end. How Shirley Booth
influences the lives of these two
through her own past experiences
lends a tender and Illuminating side
to the intensely moving story.

Iammany Hall Leader May Emerge As Force
LIN Natl Politics Ii Democrats Win In N.Y..
BY JAMES DEvLiN


NEW YORK IA curly-haired
youthful l-appearing man who isn't
running for office will emerge as
a force on the national political
scene If the Democrats win the
governorship of New York Tues
day.
He is Carmine G. DeSapio, 4S.
leader of the political machine
known the nation over as Tam
many Hall.
DeSapio spearheaded the nomin-
alton of Averell Hartman as the
Democratic candidate.
Should Hartman win-and news
paper polls show him leading
DeSapio will be in this position:
His organization will have the
prestige of breaking the 12-year
Republican grip on the nations
most populous state.
It will control the huge and in
huential New York delegation to
the presidential nominatimn con.
vention in 1856.
That would mean it might well
push Hartman for the presidency.
/" Finally, it will be in charge of
the state political machinery when
New York's As electoral votes are
at stake in the national election
two years hence.
First, what is Tammany Hall?
A sinister force" says Sen. Ir-
wing M. Ives, the Republican nom
inee for governor.
A symbol of enlightened demo
cracy," says DeSapio.
In any case, it is the Democratic
party organization of Manhattan,
one of the five boroughs, or coun-
ties, in New York City, and it is
the dominant one.
Republicans have made "Tam-
many" one of their chief campaign
issues.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, retiring
this year, and Ives have hammered
at it. as the symbol of corruption
despite DeSapio's efforts to give it
a new label Of respectability.
AS recently as four years ago,
Tammany appeared to be dead af-
ter a long, checkered history.
But the Republican outcries
against Tammany testify that once
again it is flexing its muscles.
Friend and foe alike attribute this
largely to DeSapio, virtually un.
known outside New York two years
ago.
AS a boy of Italian descent, De-
Sapio grew up in the Grand Street
area of the city's lower East Side.
He got into politics early on the
ward and district level, fought his
way up through party ranks and
became Tammany leader in 1949
when the organization was in the
doldrums. He is now Democratic
national committeeman from New
York.
He scarcely looks the part of
the traditional political boss"
With his wavy black hair combed
back, ne dresses with a neat. flare
dark blue suit, white shirt and a
white necktie decorated with small
hand-painted modernistic figures.
He invariably wears dark tinted
glasses-his virtual trademark.
The glasses are intended to soothe
an eye tenderness that gives him
an aversion to bright lights and
smoke filled rooms.
He holds $12, ,0OO-a-year post
as a commissioner on the Board
of Elections. He has an insurance
business, but gives it little atten-
tion because he politicks day and
night.

Protect Your Bull Investment

NOW THAT YOU'VE bought the bull
you want, are you planning TO take him
home and turn him right out with the
herd? Not if you want him to be most
useful for the greatest number of years.
Listed below are some suggestions
made each year to buyers who take
home bulls from the Red Bluff sale in
California. Donald M. Smith, manager
of the Red Bluff sale, has this to say
about them: eve send this information
to all of our buyers following the bull
sale each year, and know that high
percentage of them follow it carefully"
Pointed out by Reuben Albaugh, eX-
tension animal husbandman, and the
late Prof. Harold Builbert, both of the
University of California, these sugges-
tions will help you protect your bull in
veStment:
1. Take as much time as possible to
let your bulls down from heavy grain
to moderate feed. Find out which basic
grain the breeder from whom you pur-
chased them was feeding. Feed the
same grain if possible, but in continu-
ing lesser amounts over as long pc
riod as possible before turning them
out with your herd.
2. Feed them in a dry lot or small
field so that they can get their grain
in one place, their hay in another, and
the water in another. This will provide
exercise.
3. Rotate your bulls. Place part of
them with the herd for 10 days to two
weeks, then bring them in and give
them feed, care and rest. Replace these
with other bulls which should be han
died in the same manner. After one OF
two rotations, turn all bulls with the
herd for the remainder of the season
4. At the end of the breeding season

when range feed conditions are often
bad, remove your bulls from the breed
ing herd. Place them by themselves
where they can be conditioned again.
Give them ample feed space and feed
them from four to six pounds of con-
centrates daily in addition to hay or
good green pasture. Provide feeding ar
rangement SO that the boss bull does
not get all the feed.
If they are fed alfalfa or clover hay,
straight ground grain will be satisfac-
tory, but if non-leguminous hay, at least
pounds of the concentrate mixture
should be cottonseed meal or some
similar protein supplement.
You may not find ii possible to fol-
low all of the above suggestions, but
even if you can only observe part of
them it may help to make your bulls
more useful and longer lived.

said this was a wish the pro-
