Picketing Strictly a Stunt by

Gal Who Laughed in Hitler's Face

By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 4.—EVEN THOUGH HER AVIDLY photographed, traffic-stopping “stripdown” strike’ was a publicity stunt arranged to plug a motion picture, this Gerta Rozan is just the gal who’d do something like that in any justifiable situation. After all, she once laughed in the face of Adolf Hitler.

At least part of her footage wil® be retained—if, indeed, it ever was cut. . ‘One day in the dining room of a large Berlin hotel, Miss Rozan spotted a little man:who she assumed was a Chaplin imitator. His nervous motions and the way his tiny ‘mustache wiggled made her giggle. When he turned and glow-

comic’ fury. About that time, a couple of men approached his table, saluted and said, “Heil Hitler!” (This was shortly before he came into power.)

C., the granddaughter of the late Mrs. John N. Carey. Mrs. Carey, of course, was one ‘of the prime movers in the establishment of the museum, now housed

One Founder Survives

© The other prime movers, were Miss Eliza Browning, then city librarian;- Miss Florence Fitch, then director of arg in the public schools, and Miss Faye Henley, a pioneer in the development of progressive education and then principal of Orchard School. Miss Henley is the only sdrvivor of the founders and it is she who will be honored Friday noon at a luncheon in the Indianapolis Athletic Club which will mark the 15th anniversary of the museum's establishment, For this occasion Miss Henley has written a children’s history of the museum, a copy of which will be given each member. Since those first days when. the museum was housed in the Garfield Park shelter house, the museum has come far. And since that| Set eudisition, it has acquired much.

Now Has 50,000 Lfems

In its permanent collection now are more than 50,000 items and it occupies a floor space of some 9000 square feet. Soon it will seek a permanent home with even more space.. The Indianapolis institution is well and favorably known in the world of progressive education, too. It is the third such institution to be established, preceded only by one in Brooklyn and one in Boston. There now are around 50 in existence. Arthur B. Carr is curator of the museum and s. Grace Golden is executive, secretary. Mrs. has been with the museum since 1928 and she says the institution is just what it says it is—a children’s museum. . In it, children see exhibits portraying life and customs of faraway lands. And they really pay attention. . Not like the hurried
