E PHONE 751W Hollywood Agents Spin Zany Yarns Hollywood--(AP)-- Tyrone Power hurt the feelings of a lion the other day, and pretty little Jean Peters showed up at her studio red-eyed and weary because her cow had the colic. And any reporter who failed to pass tiils' word alohg to the pub- lic is a dog--to the press agents, The postman groans and grows older under a load of flotsam and Jetsam spewed daily by a battery of hopeful movie publicists. Newspaper men' are supposed to be endowed with a special olfactory sense enabling them to smelll news, They can't support this claim phy- siolcgleally, but they can develop, through long practice, a sense of suspicion, While there is no precise formula for distinguishing between fact and fiction in every case, a { checks everything, Because studios have a habit of regarding everything through a | magnifying glass, a sprained ankle {Is likely to become a fractured leg in the publicity man's handout, | These exaggerations, together with | what is known among publicists as the '"'dream-up" account for the | fact that much of 'their product ends yp in the newspaper man's wastebasket. However, some of the items with which studios seek to interest the press arc interesting as part of Hollywood's flimsy fabric. Here are a few, culled from a week's mail: Dottie Lamour has cast off her sarong and adopted the "new look." She's cutting up her last two sa- jrongs and making them into neck- ties for co-workers in a picture her studio hopes the newspapers will identify. Leon Ames has been forbidden to continue painting his fence green until he finishes ils movie- making vith Rosalind Russel. He gets paint under his finger-nails. The studio has estimated the cost of shooting time lost while the manicurist plies her trade, but the amount would only make you un- happy. When Betty Grable was running around in her bare feet not long ago poperty man Fred Simpson had the titillating task of preceding her witli a giant magnet attached to a broomstick. If Betty's dancing tootsics (worth $100,000 to Lloyd's of London the pikers) should pick up a stray pin she'd have to have anti-tetanus shots. Anti-tetanus shots would cause a loss in produc- tion time valued at practically any amount you, or Lloyd's of London can think of off hand. One press agent is sure every- body will be glad to learn that Roland Winters' dachshund, after six veterinary treatments, has re- gained his hearing, lost during an airplane. ride, . And special effects men at one studio courted nervous breakdowns by trying to get X-ray photographs of the four stomachs of a camel. . The rays penetrated only two stomachs. The studio sent out a rush call for a thinner camel--about as thin as the story. Oh yes, the lions--Power and Anthony. When Anthony roared, ruining several scenes (at a terrific cost) his trainer said he was sulk- ing because Tyrone wouldn't pet him. ~ We might as well clear up that case of cow colic, too. Miss Peters had her 12-year-old Jersey, Lulu Belle shipped all the way from Maine because Jean missed her pet. But the cuisine at the board- ing ranch where Lulu Belle was put up di' 't agree with her. Miss Peters sat up with her all night. 4 good reporter checks and double- | Something was lacking at the General Motors: auditorium last night. It was not entertainment, it was not talent it was not artists there were 24 of them--it was an audience to fill the hall. Station CKDO transmitted a broadcast of nearly the entire program, so pos- sibly there was a large radio audi- ence; the Microphcne Moppets and the General Motors War Veterans' Social Club sincerely hope there was. Every selectionon the program was recelved with loud applause, It was proof that those in attend- ance were enjoying the show. Bul why were there so few? To say the place was less than half full, is merely an attempt to foo] some- body. To say it was only one- quarter full is no exaggeration, For some unfathomable reason, the people of Oshawa are letting them- selves down, They are having good stage entertainment served them on a platter, yet they are not tast- ing the fare. Shirley Harmer and Tony Bag- nato were two favorites with the small, but appreciative audience. They sang "My Buddy" in a lovely duet, then each did a solo. Tony is a paraplegic--paralyzed from the waist down--but his heart is strong and his voice is clear. Shirley is known to practically everyone in Oshawa, of course, as is her little sister, Betty. Whitby's Orma Fle- ming opened the concert with a charming "Bléss This House", Brenda Kirkwood proved that hers was the most mature soprano voice among the older moppets, Its Royal C vatory training may be the answer, Doris Mackay, the girl who listens to records, sang a bell-like version of "Maids of Ca- diz", and Joan Gilmore's "Night and Day" was fine, Bruce Stevens, Tom Common and Jimmy Cushinan were three boy-sopranos who pleased their lis- teners, and the Boyds, three mop- pets ranging in age fiom six to two, were recalled by request for a sec- ond number. Lindsay was represented by Bar- bara Chase, who sang "One Day When I Was Young" and war-torn China sent its star in the person of Canadian-born Marlene Gar, "Our Sergeant-Major", Italy and Russia had on the program Joanna Microphone Moppets Perform To Appreciative Audience Bernardi and Norma Caston res- pectively, both born here, All par- ticipants have not been mentioned. As Sydney Brown told listeners last night, "The moppets are a cos- mopolitan bunch and they do not believe in discrimination." He was master-o{-ceremonies and Miss Jean Gregory, CBC staff pianist, accompanied the artists, She found the work a strain since they did not have time for a rehearsal. Her playing, under the circumstance, was well done. Remote control en- gineer for station CKDO was Roy Major who thought the kids were swell, The GM War Veterans' Social Club is deserving of congratulations for bringing to Oshawa such a group, but it seems unfair in a city as large as Oshawa that people will not turn out en masse to enjoy themslevs at a stage show. The Community Concerts Association had a tremendous job on their hands to get 960 individuals to see and hear some of the best talent in North America. Had there been any less, the asso- ciation could not operate. It could not even begin to contract an ar- tist for one concert let alone a group of entertainers for a series of concerts such as those on the 1948 schedule. 1 The Community Recreation Asso- ciation' is co-operating with the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band to produce a series of three "Pop" concerts before the winter season ends, and it has been an- nounced that guest artists will come from the ranks of renowned musicians throughout the country. Success of the series does not alone depend on the band and its guests, it depends on the attendance of Oshawa citizens whose Interests should swing in this direction. An evening of song featuring the popular Toronto baritone, Eric Tredwell, hag been arranged for February 18 at the Masonic Tem- ple. Veteran moppet Brenda Kirk- wood will appear with Mr, Tredwell and they will be accompanied by Alec Turner, pianist with the To- ronto Male Teachers' Choir. These three artists are a guarantee of pleasurable music but their works will be in vain unless they sing to an appreciative audienae, Nor will the sponsor care to bring other ar- tists to Oshawa if his prime ven- ture is a failure. By NORMAN CRIBBENS London--(CP) -- When Princess Elizabeth returns to public life to- wards the end of January, she will be the first lady of the land of fashion, Fashion experts are looking to her to bring prestige--and dollars --to Britain's dress export trade. The government hopes she will bring better dressing, and therefore better morale, to women at home. she has what the dress world calls the "perfect figure" and "apart from her good figure," a West End designer said, "she has excellent dress sense and the real interest she takes in .her clothes als her a born leader of fash- on." While the bride of a few weeks is the same person as the bride-to- be of a few weeks ago, the Prin- cess is more qualified to lead the world of fashion as a young marri- ed woman; for no spinster has ev- er been a leader of fashion. Millions see pictures of Eliza- beth every week, yet only the priv- fleged few see half of her dresses. | Almost invariably her day frocks are covered by a coat in public and Designers See Princess Bringing Prestige to Dress Export Trade | some of her prettiest dresses are | the simple dinner gowns she wears | only at Palace receptions or in| the homes of friends. Few know the system on which she plans her wardrobe--and the | Jittle tricks by which she contrives | to look different by ringing the changes with a comparatively small number of garments. Her wardrobe is carefully plan- ned. She never buys anything---not even a coupon-free hat--just be- cause it takes her eye. In principle the Princess ad- heres to the Queen's pre-war meth- od of giving two main orders: one for clothes for the spring and sum- mer and another for autumn and winter wear. Elizabeth periodically takes stock of her' existing clothes, decides which still has the most wear in them and decides what she needs most--a dinner dress, per- haps, or a tweed suit, or a two- plece costume for day wear, Her lady-in-waiting then writes to Norman Hartnell, the Princess' | dressmaker, explaining what is wanted and asking him to prepare | designs and patterns of materials, | Later Hartnell goes to the Palace with sketches and samples of fab- ric available. Elizabeth chooses the | styles that appeal to her and selects | the fabric and the color. - Some- | times she asks for an idea of her | own to be incorporated in the | chosen style. "She is fairly conventional in her ideas," a friend said, "but no one could call her lavish. She has very definite ideas about what she wants New Dye Produces Gay Turquoise Blue Montreal.--The discovery of an entirely new dyestuff expected to be of great importance to the Canadian textile trade has been announced by Canadian Industries Limited. This dyestuff will produce for the first time a long sought bright turquoise blue shade embodying positive fastness to washing and light. The product, Alcian Blue, was developed in the laboratories of Imperial Chemical Industries in Britain and will be distributed in Canada by C-I-L. Aim of chemical researchers was to derive a fast dyestuff for tex- tiles from the pigment called Monastral Blue. Because Monas- tral Blue was not easily dissolved, its value to the textile trade was limited, Alcian Blue will be available in Canada in January and is expected to be of substantial aid to the British textile industry in its pre- sent export drive. Of particular interest to house- wives is the fact that the dyestuff remains practically constant on linen, all types of rayons, natural silk, wool, nylon and paper.

They had as their guests, the Mary Elliott Emith Circle, and The Young Ladies Cir- cle. Mrs. Don Rice called the meet- ing to order at 7.45 with a brie! business period and the offering was received. Mrs, Joseph Wilkins was pianist for the evening: A trio consisting of Mrs. Fred Wil- son, Miss Edna Greenfield and Mrs. Mabel Joyce sang "Why Should He Love Me So". Miss Kate McLaurin, recently re- tired frcem life work in India, intro- duced the guest speaker of the evening, Dr. Sarah Cook, of the Baptist hospital, at Vuyyuru, India. Dr. Cook has been a doctor in In- dia for 23 years. She said, "If I had five lives I'd be five doctors in Ine dia, the need is so great." The motion pictures of the work there were splendid. One picture of a small baby branded with a red hot poker on the abdomen, as a cure for colic, shows the great need to Christianize and educate these people from their superstition and darkness into the light of the gos- pel of Christ.
