Mrs. L. H. Martin, of Lenoir, N. C.,
who has spent the past eight years
in Europe, spoke to a group of Queens
College students yesterday afternoon
in the Phi Mu house. Mrs. Martin,
who is visiting her sister in Char
lotte, spoke of her life in Europe
and particularly of her experiences
since the beginning of the present
European war. Her husband is. a
foreign representative for an Amari-
can tool company, and his work has
taken them into many Countries.
They were in Franee from, Septem
ber, 1939, until the last of Sep
tember, 1940. After the occupa
tion of Paris by the Germans, the
Martins went to Agen, a small town
in the south of France, where they
stayed two months.
In speaking of the war and ^ its
effect on America, Mrs. Martin said,
“The - Americans cannot seem to un
derstand that all civilization, all the
things Americans and Christians hold
dear, are at stake. We should get
in the war right away, not merely
to help England win a war for
herself, but to combat the barbaric
forces which are seeking to destroy
America.” Mrs. Martin fit'ressed
1;he fact that the main need of Eng-
and is for bombers and trained
lilots, not for young, inexperienced
soldiers. She expressed the belief
that if England could receive im
mediate aid from America, and if
she could hold out until spring, she
would win the war.

Have you ever sat beside beside a
famous movie star, especially when
the star is the charming and lovely
Elissa Landi and had rer chat with
[you? One reporter’s knees turned to
water as she listenened to Miss Landi
say, ‘Do you still think the movies
are glamorous . ' . even after to
night”! And then she laughed and
said about the male stars like Clark
Gable, ‘‘Oh, they are nice, but no,
not so thrilling. I fell so — and at
that she gestured as if to say “won
derful” and turned to meet the ad-
miring girls who were eager to meet
her.
“I don’t see how I can go back
to New England after this wonderful
reception here,” Miss Landi, a stun-
ning blonde in a white net and se
quin gown, received “like a queen” as
she sipped her punch and had many
people presented to her by Miss Clara
[ Slaton.
Early in the afternoon she gave
the cast of the “Cradle Song” a few
fine points on acting and she said,
“One ounce of talent is spark enough
to ignite a flame if it-is fanned by
nine ounces of perseverance. I have
seen cases, though, where nine pounds
of talent failed because there was
only one ounce of perseverance.”
ELISSA LANDI
The skeches, wKich, applauded by
four curtain calls, were of girls audi
tioning a part for a show, imperson
ations of foreign refugees arriving in
America, love scenes through the cen
turies, the production of a movie,
and Qf a British girl protesting
against the war interfering with her
love.
