Irish Star
Corrects
Irish Fables
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Kathleen
Ryan, a pretty Irish lass, would
like to correct a few fables about
Ireland. ,
Jrish potatoes aren't fattening,
she says. And Irishmen never say
Begorra." .
"Potatoes cannot be so fattening
as people say they are here, else all
Irish farmers would be very fat,"
she said. "They are not. They are
very thin,
"I eat potatoes all the time."
Miss Ryan was chosen for her
first American part in Robert Still
man's "Sound of Fury." because she
had a lean and fiat-chested look no
Hollywood beauty could or would
-admit to.
."It's a poor meal on a farm in
Ireland," she added, "that doesn't
boast a large kettle of potatoes
boiled in their hides, along with a
joint of beef." ,
So. much for potatoes.
"I've never heard an Irishman
say , 'Begorra'," she continued.
"They don't say 'Top o' the mornin'
to ye,' either. But sometimes they
say A soft mornin' this mornin'.' "
Drinking Restricted
A "soft" morning is one with a
drizzle, highly usual in the land of
the pixies. '
'Irish intemperance has been
equally exaggerated.
"The pubs close at 10," Miss
Ryan said. "Unless a man is a
'traveler' (seven miles from homeL
he cannot be served after 10."
A "traveler" can drink until mid
night, but he has to prove he's
from out of town should a police
man come in the front door and
catch him at his malt (Irish
whisky).
! The police are never so unsports
manlike, she added, as to come in
the back door.
! Irish boys and girls rarely dance
the jig. The rhumba and samba are
more popular. Molly O'Donnell's
band plays the best Latin music in
all Eire.
, Miss Ryan sees nothing amiss in
American misconceptions, however.
"In Ireland," she said, "everyone
thinks all Americans arc million

now a broad highway stretching
from Radio City In New York ...
to Radio City in Hollywood, with
an important nerve center in Chi

1950 Will Be
Lucky For
One Producer
HOLLYWOOD (UP! The year
1950 will be lucky for one movie
producer. Lewis Rachmll. if he
works hard, talks little and reads
everything in fine print.
That's the consensus of a palm
ist, a psychic adviser, a phrenolo
gist, an astrologer, a handwriting
analyst and a character consultant.
Machmil consulted those oracles
as part of his preparation to make
the RKO movie "Bunco Squad".
He wanted to pick up a little first
hand Information on the tricks of
the confidence trade. ')...
"I went to the palmist first. I
didn't learn much about myself.
but I learned a lot about how they
operate," he said.
"The old gal studied my hand for
quite a while. She didn't see any
calluses on It so she came across
with a startling revelation: I am
not a laboring man, I am the exec
utive type. That cost me $2."
The next stop was a "psychic
adviser'; who advertises in the
newspapers.
Good Guessing
"This one studied my face " he
said. "You 'are about 40 years
old." she finally told me.
"All I learned from her is that I
look my age."
During dinner, Rachmll had the
leaves in his teacup read by an
elderly gypsy, and learned that he
must beware of a false friend. Then
he took In a seance.
"Rappings were heard," he re
ported, "but no materializations
materialized. The medium gave us
a half-hour's worth of ambiguous
statements and then said there was
an 'unsympathetic vibration' in the
circle and she couldn't go on."
A graphologist analyzed Rach
mil's handwriting.
''You are an Idealist, your break
will come through work, plus luck."
she said.
Called a Dreamer
Then a phrenologist pondered
the bumps on his skull.
"Talk little and listen lots." he
advised.
A "character consultant" sized
up Rachmll as "a dreamer, verv
susceptible to swindlers." He cau
tioned him to "be cautious in bus
iness transatcions and read every
thing in fine print." Then he took
his $2.
"You must be' tolerant," the
astrologer told him. "Measure
every word you say and don't speak
out of turn. You can upset what
you have Worked hard for."
"I didn't get much good advice
out of all those hints." T?anhmii
concluded, "but I got a lot of good
Ideas. My picture will tell all, and
that's a lot more than these phony
seers did."
