a burning house | and Joan Crawford has followed to I rescue her. The camera is now I trained on the reception hall of [ the house. The set is only about ' 10 feet wide. The two stars will ■ have to do the scene with flames 1 roaring up both walla and with j burning fragments falling from, above. These flames come out of gas, jets and are regulated. In the ! scene, however, there is only a nar- i row lane of safety for the two stars I to work- If they lose their heads, fall in either direction, they will be burned before the fire can be put out. There is real tension on the set as Director Frank Borzage signi- ' ties that everything is ready. Miss Sullavan takes her position I prone on the floor. Joan stands ' behind her. “All right, light It up." calls ' Borzage. Flames hiss from the jets. One i column of fire leaps 15 feet high I Others seem to reach out for the ' stars. "Action!" cries Borzage. Joan reaches down and scoops Margaret Sullavan up in her arms I As a feat of strength alone, it is j amazing. She picks her up as [ easily as a man would. No need to fake the look of fear : is she runs the gauntlet of flames to reach safety back of the camera ■ Both girls are trembling when i she puts Margaret Sullavan down, i 'Something is burning, I smell it," ; cries Margaret. Unmindful of the : crowd, the two stars grab their I skirts, give them a hurried inspection. Their hands fly through their : 1 lair to see if a spark has lit there '' It is a false alarm. They are ail 11 right. i i I A minute later looking at then

The debate began as a serious d'scusslon of ‘‘resolved: that swing music is detrimental to American culture,” but it ended in a Jive session with 250 freshmen alligators truckin' in the aisles. The official debaters were Ann Pollak of New York and Margaret Morin of Newton, representing Radcliffe and the negative, and Stanley Packer and Paul Erlanson of Wyoming. O„ of M. I. T. the affirmative, but that didn’t stop the audi■nee from contributing to the discussion. Radcliffe approached swing from) the academic standpoint, contending: “Culture is based fundamentally on democracy, and the three attributes of democracy are freedom of speech, originality and informality. Swing is all these, and as a democratic institution, it’s a part of culture. M. I. T. resorted to Webster's definition of swing: “to wield a weapon or to hang or execute ” “Where will our culture be in two years?" demanded M. 1. T. “Truck it down!” the audience! responded. “Swing music is increasing the! use of drugs,” pressed M. I. T. ‘Some orchestra leaders among the dope, and that is more, they drink!” idols of the youth of America take “Jive it” someone shouted M. I. T. made a final effort. “Swing arouses "ae sex instinct” Packer yelled. I The audience clapped. | “Two persons of the opposite sex were put in a room together and all day long nothing but symphony music was played,” he explained when quiet was restored. “Aset 1 i ious discussion resulted. The next. 1 day swing music was played andj

smoking walls of the set, Margaret j Sullavan manages a smile. “This house Is getting blacker and blacker,” she says. "I suppose you thinK you’re not,’* j says Joon. The companay laughs with obvious relief. This is one scene they are glad to get in the camera. Anything might have happened. 1 Only a few stages away, M-G-M 'is shooting “Dramatic School," with Luise Rainer, Paulette Goddard and a whole setfull of pretty giris. No tension here. It's almost like a picnic. Between takes, the company thinks up nicknames for each other. The more inappropriate the better. : When they want Paulette Goddard, they call, "Hey, Butch!” Lana Turner is “Buttercup", Virginia Grey is “Slats", Ann Ruther- ! ford is "Snooks”. All the girls call Cameraman Bill Daniels “Daddy" j >• Trying to keep order on the set | ' and to get the picture in on schedule is Director Robert Sinclair This isn't the first time he has handled a large cast of beautDs. He staged the Broadway production of “The Women". "But don't think I am having an easy time of it,” says Sinclair plaintively. “You never real'y get used to this sort of thing." Movie makebelieve seemed very unimportant when a group of us gathered around Jascha Heifetz's i dressing room and listened to the harsh oratory in which Hitler

seemed to be I plunging the I world toward I war. I Director WilI I i a m Wyl er, I noted for his I calmness on the I set, was exI citedly translatI ing the chancelI lot's booming I phrases. Heifetz, whom you would ex-

pect to be excitable, never changed expression. His hands lay still in his lap. When, with the speech half over, I Wyler reluctantly ordered the company back to work, the violinist performed with his usual faultless technique. However, his thoughts must have been tumultous. For Heifetz was passing through Vienna at the time of Hitler s famous coup and saw the Austrian nation going down Into oblivion.

the serious discussion—well, it <minot continue.” “Yeah. Man!” sighed the audience. o ARRIVALS ■ Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Schlickman of Peterson are th“ parents of a baby girl born at the Adams county memorial hospital this noon i at 12:32 o’clock.
