IT'S SAID that everything passes sooner or later 80 maybe this fixation about seeing a wife,
mine, standing in the doorway of a beautiful home,
Jains hug &: Deacing apart, mine, will pass,
A 30-year-old- bachelor (not by choice exactly) shouldn't be bothered with such foolishness, Isn't he happy with his two rooms and bath? Isn't he happy with his life of complete freedom of movement? Isn't he happy eating out every night in some gay spot where music and laughter abound? I don't know,
All this bloke knows is that he was talked into taking a ride with a representative of the Marion County Residential Builders Inc. who insisted the Parade of Homes was what every bachelor in the city should see. Study. Contemplate.
Bungalows Didn't Inspire Him
THE ECONOMY bungalows ($6250) didn’t inspire me. Very nice though. It's easy to see how a young fellow, trapped into matrimony before allowing himself the luxury of dreaming up big ideas, would be happy to haul his spouse under a tarpaper roof with white sidewalls. A casual inspection of several h revealed they have everything “dreamhouses” have only in a much smaller quantity. You must admit two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bath are enough to live in, Even happily ever dfter. And don’t overlook thermostatically controlled heating and built-in cabinet space. That's the thing my guide harped on. Compactness. Use of every avallable foot of space. “Put $550 down, pay $42 a month and it's yours.” Looking at these houses, as I said, didn't Inspire any eye-opening, scalp-tingling, chest-heav-ing reaction. But then I've been dreaming too long

Heck, I think payments of $42 a month should compare with monthly rental fees. My bachelor quarters cost me more than $42 a month, (Strictly for the benefit of Stmon Legree, my landlord, let me say I'm happy to pay what he asks.) _... Moving a little further north we checked a few story and a half houses boasting fireplaces, studies and two bedrooms and baths upstairs. Not bad. At a distance and with my eyes half closed as If sighting in the manner of an artist, I conjured effortlessly a homey scene. Just the kind my mother talks about every time I go home. You know, nice little houses, a good wife, couple of kids, fine lawn, car, garage, No zing. Coming close but still no zing. The fact that could have. a choice of several story and a half houses for $15,000 or “in the neighborhood of $15,000,” didn’t deter me from hewing to the line on which “the house that ld wants” someday stands. Ranch houses sparkling in the late afternoon sun weakened me. A Georgian colonial home with white col made me ache inside. There was a half brick and half timber sample for $25,000 which should be on any list of homes designed to render a bachelor incapable of saying no to a damsel. The joint reeked with that security they talk about, that “blue heaven” stuff and the good ol’ American institution. Why haven't you ever married?” asked my friend. We were standing in front of a Cape Cod house, gray shingles, Bedford limestone front, garage hooked on to a breeseway and trimmed like a bride.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10—-Mr. Augustus Goets and wife, Ruth, go singing back to the saltmines shortly, having committed heresy in the authorship guild. Gus and Ruth, playwrights, actually profess to like Hollywood and to enjoy working there. An admission of this sort may likely get them stoned by all the other scriveners who have made careers of sneering at Hollywood, while knocking it loose from as much cash as possible. It has never been anything but fashionable to refer to the cinema capital as the perverter of talent, the final refuge of people who are taking in writing and the destroyer of all that is clean and fine in some ink-grimed fugitive from a police court run.
Dirty $2000 Gets Sneers
IT HAS even been the vogue to look down the nose at the salaries wihch are paid these suffering prostitutes of art, as if the money were made of shoddier paper than the scratch to be found in the paycheck of a coal miner in Scranton, Pa. They curl a lip at the two G's that stupendous films pay them each and every week, but I have noticed in Hollywood that there is never any reticence about hanging round the cashier's cage on payday. The commonest ‘plaint of the poor Hollywood
- writer, apart from love troubles, is that the jewels
he scatters from his gold-mounted typewriter always fall before swine; that all producers have-two heads; that all directors are mental incompetents who should be shut away for the good of society, and that all agtors are wooden hams who should be wielding @ pick instead of mouthing dialog.
Here again the Goetzes dissent. They have
just completed the film version of their late hit’
play, “The Heiress.” While no one generally is so pinch-faced as a Broadway playwright, fresh come to the golden swill barrel of Hollywood, they claim complete happiness with the studio, Paramount, the producer-director, William Wyler, and even the actors Olivia De Havilland and Montgomery
Clift. This amounts to nothing less than naaed treason. Gus says there were no story conferences, of horrid legend. Ruth says not a single line they liked got knocked out. Gus says they got mixed up in no caste-system snarls. Ruth says the direction was so fine that she now has a sneaking admiration for the camera as opposed to the old quill-pen as a medium of expression. They say in unison that they like the climate, although Gus still owns no lilac slacks or Hawaiian polo shirts, and has not taken to black glasses as a steady costume.
TT
The Goetazes go back, now, for work on another film, and they have just taken a house, sight un-| seen. Chief reason for their acceptance is the house has a swimming pool on the second floor. Ruth believes that this will give them a certain! social distinction, even for Hollywood, since to date they have met no one with a pool on the second! floor. - J
They OK Mass Mentality
AS A CLINCHER, both refuse to knock the| American people for demanding unleavened. trash in movie entertainment, but believe that the movie! makers have been guilty of underestimating the receptivity of the hayshaker to decently adult en- | tertainment. If nothing else, this last will scourge the Goetzes from the Authors League, since no; Broadway author ever returned from the. minklined sewers without cursing the mass mentality, which made movies a popular, necessity. This is all very heartening, especially since ‘1 just heard that one studio was changing the title | of Galsworthy's “Forsyte Saga” to “That Forsyte Woman.” With this trend in force, I was afraid the Goetzes highly adult “Heiress” would be changed to “I Found a Million-Dollar Baby at High Noon in Macy's Window.” I like to hear nice things about Hollywood. They grow such pretty money out there that one day I hope to scythe some for myself, and I would! hate to dwell in a town where an artist is little better than cayiar-fed pig.
Eggs | cn Yoghurt By Frederick Cc. Othman
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10—1I certainly hope Sir Stafford likes apricots. Stewed. And how I ever got tangled in the problem of feeding the British Chancellor of the Exchéquer, Sir Stafford Cripps, I'm still not quite sure. Better chefs than I obviously have been worrying about the vegetarian chancellor's yoghurt. But there was the sign at the National Press Club saying that Sir Stafford and his sidekick in the dollar crisis, Ernie Bevin, were dropping around for lunch. And there was James B. Montfort, the manager of this rest for weary reporters, looking worried. 1 asked him what did he intend to feed our distinguished guests? He said that was the question. Mr, Bevin gets meat and gravy like anybody else. The difficulty is Sir Stafford. His Britannic Majesty's embassy on Massachusetts Ave. in an effort to be helpful, only managed to complicate the decision for us hosts, Manager Montfort hauled from his desk a list of six menus suggested by the diplomats as suitable for the chancellor.
Scramble Gets Scrambled
THESE INCLUDED: 1. Scrambled eggs and spinach. 2. Scrambled eggs and a baked potato. 3. Omelet with spinach. 4. Omelet with potato. 5. Plain boiled spaghetti with sliced tomato and grated cheese on the side. 6. An all-cooked vegetable plate. The instructions went on to say to leave off the butter, salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard. If Sir Stafford wanted any condiments in his lunch, he personally would sprinkle on same, Mr. Montfort said what did I think Sir Stafford would like; I said I'd always heard that he preferred grated carrots. Mr. Montfort said this was & mistake; the white paper from the British indi-
cated that Sir 8. liked his carrots cooked. Fact was, sald Mr. Montfort, the only vegetable. the Chancellor would eat raw was a tomato, sliced. And what did I think of spaghetti cooked in plain water and piled neatly on one of the club’s thick plates? I was against this; Mr. Montfort agreed. Neither did he like the idea of vegetable plates because they usually tasted soggy. That left us with eggs scrambled and eggs omeleted. We settled for scrambled. Then should Sir Stafford have spinach or a baked potato? Mr.! Montfort said you never can tell how a baked potato will turn out, whereas spinach is always: just the same. Spinach. So we decided that Sir Stafford would get two ‘eggs slightly scrambled in butter and a dab of spinach, which probably would be cold before the waiter fought his way through the mob.
Worries About Dessert
MR. MONTFORT still looked worried. What about dessert? I told him I'd read that Sir Stafford liked yoghurt (which is artificially soured cream), chopped nuts, honey and lemon juice, well blended B+ with a fork. The manager was aghast, Nobody'd ever opened a jug of yoghurt in the Press Club. Nobody ever would. Not even for Sir Stafford. And anyhow the embassy had mentioned only two possibilities for the Chancellor: Milk pudding or stewed fruit. I said, milk pudding by all means. Mr. Montfort sald yes, but what is it? I didn’t] know, - either, So we turned to stewed fruit.) , Prunes? Pears? Persimimons? The embassy gave| no hint, Mr, Montfort got out a picture of Sir Stafford. We studied it carefully, -He said, apri-| cots? I hastened to agree. We intend to observe daretully whether the Chancellor enjoys his lunch. If not, our morning was in vain. *
