DaLECaRNEGBE Lmmwwiiiwl Row To Handle A Frightened Child JJ ANDLING A FRIGHTENED CHILD is something that all professional men are called upon to do at times, and parents very frequently. Here’s how Dr. T. H. Long, Mobile, Alabama, handled a young and refractory patient, and persuaded him to do what was desired of him. • The little chap was five yean old, old enough to know fear and to understand that hurts come even with those who are trustworthy. Dr. Long wanted to measure the corneal curvatures and to do so. he had to use an " instrument called the ophthalmometer ' which to the uninitiated resembles some gadget from a Buck Rogers movie. The young patient was extremely timid " Sflß anyway, and when placed before the instrument, he became almost hysterical. Dr. Long and the mother did their utmost to reassure JU him, but it was no go, and after a long siege BBsrt Ala they were about to abandon the idea of examining him that time. Carnegie But Dr. Long knew that it would probably be worse the next time for fear would attack him the minute he entered the office. So he put the little boy out of the chair, and he himself took his place. He paid no further attention to him while the refractionist went through the motions of obtaining the finding. The little boy’s tears stopped flowing as he watched what was going on. Pretty soon, he wanted to look. But the doctor paid no attention to him, just continued to show tremendous interest in the proceedings. The child’s curiosity got the better of him; now he must see. So Dr. Long relinquished his seat to the boy fixed his eyes raptly upon the target, and the finding was obtained with no further delay. Yes, and if you can handle children, you can handle adults They are not so different.

By INEZ GEBHARD WHEN RONNIE ALCORN was 13 he was sent to reform school; he says it was the first time he slept in a clean bed or had enough to eat. That was in 1932. It was his amhijHnn to produce motion pictures—‘‘Johnny Holiday”, made at that same reform school, is his first cl RONNIE ALCORN one, and he plans eight more, for United Artists release. His story is fantastic, that of an underprivileged boy bom to be a success (he had made his first million by the time he was 30) who took plenty of hard knocks on the way to achieving it. He has a second ambition—to help as many underprivileged boys as possible; he has already done a terrific job at it. We’re always hearing about movie stars who dash from one set to another on a bicycle, when working in two pictures. And about radio performers who leap from studio to studio in taxis. But Kent Smith has out-done them aid. For a week he commuted daily by plane between Hollywood and San Francisco, to do a stage role and finish a picture. His latest is “My Foolish Tieart.” Vera Vague may sound dumb as a man-chasing comedienne on the air—at present on Jimmy Durante’s program on NBC —but away from the radio Vera, otherwise Barbara Jo Allen, can talk for hours about orchids, her two hothouses, and the third one she’s building. During the Christmas holidays her white orchids retailed in New York for 825 apiece. Not bad! Those occasional off-key solos by “Dexter” represent real artistic hardship for Sam Edwards, who plays the role. He started his career as a singer, and has to battle his professional training when he makes those tuneless squeaks. Teresa Wright invited her husband, Niven Busch, to visit hex on the set when she did some torrid love scenes with Marlon Brando for “The Men”. He stalked out, blushing. But Robert Cummings’ wife was present when he made love scenes with Lizabeth Scott and Diana Lynn for “Paid in Full,” time after time, and nobody was the least bit embarrassed by the routine. Judy Holliday was so good in the play “Bom Yesterday” that it was hard to imagine anyone else in the screen version, but during the three years of disagreement over terms it looked as if any one of eight other actresses would get the role. And how they all wanted it! But after Harry Cohn, of Columbia, saw her in “Adam’s Rib” he gave her the contract she wanted. Jan Sterling was one of the disappointed eight. However, she has signed a new Paramount contract, and in her first picture, “Union Station”, plays a gangster’s girl, a role said to be like the one she’d have had in “Bom Yesterday”. Mercedes McCambridge is another actress who can have Just about anything she wants in Hollywood. Radio and stage experience prepared her for her screen debut in “AD the King’s Men”, in which she gives a sensational performance. If Gertrude Berg ever decides to turn talent scout, she can point out that the following stars all played roles on “The Goldbergs” before they became names—John Garfield, Paul Stewart, Joseph Cotten, Marjorie Main, Richard Widmark, Van Heflin, Shirley Booth, Martin Gabel and Sam Wanamaker. And a lot of others, too numerous to mention. ODDS AND ENDS ... It looks as if Steve Cochran would be the screen’s next bad man with the ladies; in “Storm Signal” he beats up Ginger Rogers and Doris Day . . . The United States supreme court will be asked to strike down motion picture censorship as a violation of the Constitution . . . Julia Faye, Hedy Lamarr’s slave tn “Samson and Delilah”, has had plenty of experience in slave roles; she’d played 10 different ones, the first in 1917.

SECTIONAL TOURNEY WILL BE BROADCAST Robert W. (Bob) Nulf, popular football coach at North Side High School in Ft. Wayne, will bjoadcast a play-by-play description of the Warsaw sectional basketball tournament Feb. 22 thru 25. over radio station WKAM, 1220 kilocycles on your radio dial. This announcement came this week from Joe Autenrieth, general manager of WKAM, Warsaw. Bob has a fine background in all sports and has had experience in broadcasting basketball tournaments, having done the Michigan tournament last season over a Kalamazoo station. His play-by-play accounts are noted for their accuracy. Bob was coach at Kalamazoo College for several years before going to North Side in Ft. Wayne. The Columbia City - Milford game will be recorded and rebroadcast over WKAM at 8:00 a. m. Thurs., Feb. 23 and the Silver Lake - Pierceton game will be heard at 9:45 a. m., Thurs. On Friday at 7:15 a. m. you can hear the Warsaw - Burket game and the rest of the tournament will be heard on the following schedFINAL GIFT TO THE KREMLIN? THE TWO MOST frequently heard stock excuses for our dull, suicidal attitude toward Spain are: first —that our recognition would constitute approval of its form of government and second—that our recognition would make a “field day” for abuse and vilification by the Reds all over the world. As opposed to these “horrible alternatives, many military strategists point oat that Spaih in the Red camp would preclude the possibility of our landing and maintaining a large force of troops upon the European continent and that Russia would quickly take advantage of this obvious conclusion and march westward to the English Channel, thus making certain her conquest of occidental Europe and the British Isles. A glance at the map win convince the most skeptical of the force of this reasoning. Now, the first of these excuses might bear some weight if our government had lived up to the high moral standard which it implies. But we maintain embassies in every center of mayhem behind the iron curtain, and we will doubtless soon open one in Communist China. Then by what standard do we approve the governments of Dictators Stalin, Ana Pauker, Tito , and all the rest of those wholesale butchers? Excuse number ooe is , unworthy of one who is meticulous , about his honesty. Excuse number two is that our recognition would make a “field day” for the Reds. l There’s a lot of truth in this one! Can’t you imagine the emanations from Pravda and Isvetxia? Can you hear the roars from the Hollywood pinks, the Robeson followers, and our other patriots in and out of jail? Well, maybe it is only fair to give them a chance to enjoy their indignation. Certainly Russia gave us a “field day” when she stole Czechoslovakia from under our noses. We rose in our wrath and hurled at them the weight .of our most picturesque abuse. But Russia got Czechoslovakia!
