Unfortunately this is not all he
does. He also gets begged down
inadvertently in some soap
opera plot writings that al
most make him a bore, which
Mr.. johnson isn't.
The word inadvertently is
used because Mr.. Johnson
couldn't have been trying for
anything but comedy with such
q ludicrous title. Had he been
making a soap opera inten-
tionally. he knows enough to
have titled it The Woman
Who Was Misunderstood BY
Men"
Writer-Producer- Director
johnson is telling the story in
the Palace film of a movie
genius who is one up on him, a
writ er-producer- director star.
This fellow has only one love,
apart from himself. in his life,
a girl he determines to make
the greatest movie star ever.
Along the way he marries her,
but he is so busy making her
a star that he is always out
signing contracts or firing
agents while she is lolling
around the house in a lonely
negligee.
A girl can wait only so long
for her husband to look her
way and this one waits only
until her mate takes her to

carne but hello.
She takes off, leaving an
guiSh behind, but there is no
point in belaboring this mar
ratlve further. Mr.. johnson
has done that already.

formances almost guaranteed

does a thorough job on the
movie genius. playing the COM
edy with obvious relish. at the
same time giving the man di-
mension and some life while
laughing at him. Leslie Caron is
appealing and credible and
makes the plan to turn her into
the greatest star ever seem a
reasonable one. Myron Nc
Cormick proves a stout foe of
any developing boredom, as
one of those handyman-whip-
ping boys every movie genius
has to have at least one of
around at all times. Very fun

For that matter, Mr.. John
ROn is a very funny fellow to0
and he has concocted some
passages here that care close
enough to hilarious to pass.
The trouble is that things get
out of hand after a highly
promising beginning, uneven
ness sets in and it is a painful
time between laughs. Not even
the Mediterranean scenery in

tune. It's part of the current exhibit.
But the fascinating part of the
mystery Of Paul Gauguin is not that
he died in poverty leaving millions of
dollars worth Of art behind him. The
history Of art is filled with such traee-
dies. What has made Gauguin's story
intriguing to so many readers and
viewers is that he did something lot
of people dream Of but never bring
themselves to do = he chucked a
normal life and went off to the South
Seas.
An Irresistible Attraction
A prosperous Paris stockbroker, he
became irresistibly attracted to art.
After a period as Sunday painter,
he quit the stock market and went off
to Brittany to paint. But only few
avant- garde colleagues, like Van
Gogh, Pissarro and Degas, had any
appreciation Of his work. In 1891 he
suddenly made up his mind, sold all
his paintings at auction for a few
thousand francs, and went off to
Tahiti.
He didn't get happiness that way,
or money either. But despite his dis
appointments and hardships, Gau-
guin won what true artists really
want "a chance to create beautiful
art. Il believe art has a divine
source" he wrote, land that it lives
in the hearts of all men who have
been touched by the heavenly light"

Safety Is Stressed
By Education Board

The Garrett County Board of
Education has voted to establish
countrywide bus safety council,
create a full-time position of trans
portation supervisor and require a
fourth inspection of all county
school buses each year.
superintendent of Schools Will
lard L. Hawkins said these de-
cisions were made at board meet
ing here, last Thursday. Ordinarily
the board meets on the second
Tuesday of each month and had
held its regular meeting Septem-
Der 8, two days before the tragic
accident in which seven pupils
were killed at Mt. Lake Park.
At the meetings, the school
board first reviewed the various
school bus safety recommendations
which had been made the previous
! day in the report of the Garrett
county grand jury.
Supervisor Named
Hawkins explained that the
board wants Robert Martin, shop
teacher at Southern High school,
to serve as the first full-time SUI
pervisor of transportation. The
/ problems is to get teaching re-
placement for Mr.. Martin. In Au-
gust, another shop teacher re-
signed to accept employment in
Montgomery county SO that there
already is one vacancy.
The new countrywide bus safety
council will hold its first meeting
Wednesday, September 30. 1t will
include Representatives from all
! parent-teacher associations, civic
groups and service clubs, one of
, the three county commissioners,
one of the three school board men,
bers, one of the county's repre-
sentatives in the Maryland General
Assembly and state trooper.
inspection Added
Present state law requires three
inspections of every school bus
each school year. The school board
now is adding fourth inspection.
The bus which stalled on the B. &
o. crossing to precipitate the re-
cent tragic accident had been in
spected just before school started.
Greater emphasis on driver train
ing for school bus operators also
was recommended by the school
board. Martin will implement this
proposal when he assumes duties
as supervisor of transportation.
Review Other Recommendations

Mr.. Hawkins said the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles had been
asked to supply assistance for sur
prise periodic spot checks of buses
for mechanical defects. Bus evacua-

steps taken to eliminate overload

were notified the first few days of
school urging them TO report over
crowded conditions.

policy of refusing further extern
