TheImo Ritter Speaks
Her Uninhibited Mind

turned one down just recently.
Imagine a live show with
seven children: I'd kill them.
And seven stage mothers too"
She goes to Broadway shows
frequently and she has ideas
about them, too. She despises
the sordid, naturalistic plays so
common now. They're like
stirring up scum; I resent
them terribly"
But even as she shakes her
head and shoulders, her sense
of humor bursts through. At
one play about half the
audience must have been
psychoanalyzed, for they died
laughing about the analysis

Nothing about show business
escapes her wit, herself in
cluded. About herself as a child
star-"perfectly poisonous"
AS a Red Cross nurse in the

and the Profane"-"I look like
real dog" And in the current

NEW YORK, May 5 (NANAJ
-Thelma Ritter, Brooklyn
born movie star, is just like
she Is on the Screen-not
afraid to speak her mind on
anything, even Hollywood.
Take the Hollywood type
romance of Grace Kelly and
Prince Rainier.
About the serene beauty she
says, Il just loye her to DEATH"
but about the Monacan ruler,
1.-TWO = for a nickel royalty"
And she regarded the whole
affair as "a circus"
There is nothing malicious
about Miss Ritter; she just be-
lieves in saying what she
thinks. Miss Kelly. with whom
she starred in Rear Window"
is one of her favorite people.
"She's very unaSsuming, a
nice gall" but Miss Ritter just
can't understand how she chose
the prince.
No Talent Needed
Although genuinely kind,
little about show bsineSs es-
capes her barbed but percep-
tive criticism.
About movies she says, you
don't need talent; you need the
constitution of a horse" I'VE
don't want it good, we want 1t

One of her happiest whim-
sizes is that when the studios
run out of names like Rock
and Tab and Rory for hand

more on looks than talent.

soxers' heroes, STARK Naked"
Her pungent observations
aren't those of a woman who
has tried Hollywood and failed.
Hanging on a wall in her For
est Hills, N. Y, home are four
nominations for the Academy
Award.
But her remarks about Holly
wood are not all critical. She
has great respect for its talents,
particularly for Alfred Hitch
cock, lone or the greater di-
rectors and an awfully sweet
person" When he directs, "he
never looks through a camera.

knows what the cameras will
see."

slant demand for television.

simple rules are followed
VPI recommendations follow:
|. Use sufficient lime to give a
PHI of 6.5 to 10. If a soil test has
not been made, collect sample at
once and have it tested to deter
mine lime needs.
@ Apply the amount and analysis
of fertilizer needed depending on
the kind of soil and its fertility
level. Usually 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre will be sufficient Analyses
most frequently recommended are
l-l2-l2. 0-l4-l4 and O-lO-20 or grades
within these ratios. Always used bo-
rated fertilizer for alfalfa.
g. Purchase certified seed OF an
adapted variety. Atlantic, Williams
burg. Kansas Common, Oklahoma
Approved. Buffalo. and Narragan-
sett are the recommended varieties.
Use 20 to Is pounds when seeded

The term is used to express the
