evening in the sparkling spool

the analyst created on Broad

Franchot Tone.
Supporting him is Christine
White, leading lady last year
with the Playhouse who won
laurels this past season for her
performance in New York in
"Hatful of Rain" which starred
Shelley Winters. Miss Whites
role IN the original production
OF "Oh, Men! Oh, Women!' was
created by Betsy Won Fursten-
berg who starred at the Play

Tender Trap"
According to John Chapman
in the New York Daily News,
Mr.. Chodorov, in the new Play
house production, is saying that
"pshchoanalysis is merely an at
tempt to give proper direction
to peoples sex urges. He says,
further, that men and women
will never, but never, get along
because they want diff
ferent things. Men want women
and women want men,"
The psychoanalyst in this case
is ready to be married to a nice,
simple girl on the morrow andI
is hearing his last clients today.

E. M. WASHINGTON

Without meaning to sound
stuffy, ] submit that the nick
names suggested for junior
are more suitable for pets than
they are for human beings.
After all, a name is a sort of
label and should, to some ex-
tent at least, represent the
more distinctive qualities of
which it identifies.
So. since man Tin whatever
state of .growth) is assumed
to have a certain dignity, why
not call him by a name which
bears that out. Supposedly
the being. though a baby, be-
longs to the highest physical
order, so why salute him by a
name some other child might
rightly give to his puppy or
teddy bear?
And if the given name is
suitable, why not use it? It's
gotten to the point, in this
jazz age, where many parents
use a child's formal name only
to signify displeasure-and
thereby charge it with most
uncomfortable associations.
l wonder if all this switch
ing from nicknames to real
names isn't likely to result in
some split personalities.
1 think the Europeans have
the best answer: They call
their children by the diminu-
tive form of their given names,
e.g. "Juanito." Literally this
means Little john" but it
also expresses fondness.
