SALEM ACADEMY HEARS TALK BY MRS. MILNER Page Three. The Romau Catholie church is the greatest obstacle to communism, ac cording to the Rev. Edmund Walsh of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. SARA’S SCRAIP collection of old book.s is a copy of the Oolumbian Magazine” published in Philadelphia in 1791 At that time there were only sixteen states and the returns of the census of 1790 are printed. North Carolina had a total population of 393,751, classified as follows : Free white males of sixteen years and upwards includ ing heads of families — 69,988. Free white males under sixteen years — 77,506. white females, including heads of families 140,710. All other free persons — 4,975 Slaves — 100,572. The magazine contains a letter from President Wash- mgton to Congress, copy of a speech made by Louis XVI, King of France, a number of documents that deal with the early history of the United States as well as a “novelette ” some poetry and many amusing maxims. “When the Vision dies in the dust of the market place, When the Light is dim, When you lift up your eyes and cannot behold hi^ face When your heart is far from him. Know this is your war, in this loneliest hour you ride 'Down the roads he knew; Though he comes no more at night he will kneel at your side For comfort to dream with you.” —W. W. C. From “Testament of Youth.” “The things men desire Are transient as the leai upon the hill.” •—Paul Benjamin. » # * . Miller is a new novel that I think all of you will enjoy. It is a delightful romance with it« setting in a little Carolina tidewater town. One has to admire the young people who find hap piness m spite of the depression. Good local color. I drank from the golden cup And heard the hymn of joy, And caught a star then threw it back As though it were a toy. I laughed above the willows And wondered endless hours, Weaving the meadows regal robes From purple passion flowers. Beside the smouldering ashes I do not even weep — Who soared and sang on yesterday Lies down todaw to sleep, ’ Problems of Adolescence Discussed A discussion of the problems of adolescence was given by Mrs. Clyde Milner, dean of students and teacher of psychology at Guilford College, in Wednesday morning Chapel at Sa lem Academy. Most of the problems of adoles cence result, Mrs. Milner said, from habits and problems of childhood which are not adequately adjusted as they arise. The adolescent who finds herself egocentric is emotional ly one year old. She is emotionally 1 to 3 years old if she imitates the attitudes of other people or if she constantly wants to cause anxiety on the part of parents or teachers. The child aged 3 to 6 is character ized by doing the opposite thing when asked to do one thing, by do ing tasks for a reward from parents, by extending her personality through making noises, and by vivid fictional imagination. From ages 6 to 12 the child plays her game alone, compares her accom plishments and grades with those of individuals, and seeks exclusive friends. The tendencies of these lat ter periods, Mrs. Milner continued, often carry over into adolesence and accentuate the normal problems of that period. These normal problems were grouped under three headings: Phys ical problems, social adjustments and relationships with boys. CURRENT CINEMA I BEFORE THE LOOKING GLASS The most dramatic dress of the I week rested in Sosnik’s window last week. It was a black affair—black bouffant net skirt over black taffeta. The decolletage was low and marked I by a red flower over the bosom. The remarkable feature of the dress was I a long net cape—covering arms and dress at once. The cape gave the dress a pleasant personality and an I air of exclusiveness like a cellophane I wrapping. The dress would lend it I self well to one’s big moments, but the cape might be a little in the way I at time.s. Another Sosnik window displayed a demure black and white and gray plaid dress, with buttons down the front and white pique collar. Its I tailored companion was a gray en semble complete with rust accessor ies—the newest complement to gray. I Montaldo’s prominently displayed one of the loveliest of silk prints— a rich rose design on a deep blue background. Beside it were: the conventional straw sailor with small I veil and a bright, large patent leath I er bag. The next window held a new ver.sion of the dinner suit. This was la wide black taffeta skirt with a white lace jacket with short sleeves. I Beside it lay a great cape of coarse I dotted net ruffled and flounced in a I way to make anyone feel coquettish. On the back of the taffeta band I which tied around the neck—were three gardenias. In the Ideal windows there was a bright yellow sweater to complete a I suit. Some fascinating silk I prints formed the background. Cohen’s window, always nice-look ing, carried several good-looking tailored suits as well as a tailored taffeta suit—dark blue as to skirt and polka-dotted with white as to coat. MARY LOUISE HAYWOOD EDITOR Mary Louise Haywood, junior member of the staff, is acting edi tor of the Salemite this week. The paper will be edited by Mary Hart next week. "1 wonder that God is so prodigal, His moonlight was spilled in silver.” —Pearl B. Brown. I Sayg the Daily IlUni: “Courtship consists of a man «has- I ing a woman until she catches him." According to alumni office records, I 750 Duke University alumni married (as a result of campus romances. Outside of a few vicious anti-labor and militaristic misfits, the average film made in Hollywood during the last few months has been abnormallv high. “Mutiny on the Bounty” was l>erhaps the finest picture of its type ever made. The direction by Frank Lloyd and the acting by the entire east, especially by Maria and Mamo, the two Tahitian girls, was superb. \ ou can expect a great deal from “Ah Wilderness” and from the per formance given in it by Eric Linden. It is interesting to note that, with .several e.xceptions, of course, it is most often Warner Bros, who are not above allowing for propaganda in their releases. A plea for militarism and fascism was plainly in evidence when you saw “Shipmates For ever.” The other day, we hapjwned to stumble across a new Warner quickie” called “Man of Iron,” with Barton MacLane. This film im mediately falls into the “Red Sa lute ’ ’ class. It’s the most flagrant anti-labor picture to date. It deals with MacLane, a sturdy foreman in a plant, who is elevated to vice-presidency and finally to an offer of presidency in a large steel concern. MacLane, admired by his fellow-warkers, hesitates about tak ing the job when his wife (Dorothy Peterson) tells his that he was born to be a worker, that he can never be happy in an executive’s desk. He finally takes the job and proceeds to be the object of intrigue by a disappointed relative of the presi dent of the concern who had wanted MacLane’s job. The new work and more money go to his head. He starts to make wealthy new friends, takes up golf and tennis, and fulfills his life-long ambition: to install a new shower in his home. Calling his wife on the phone from the country club, he tells her that he will not be home to dinner as he is making influential friends at the club. He tells her that she should go out and further her education by seeing “a good movie.” The story wanders on un til MacLane has built a new man sion with a super-shower and is giv ing a party. At this time, there is a strike at the factory which Mac Lane stops. It is then that he real izes that God made him a worker and nothing more. So he takes his old job back, leaving the audience wondering what is to become of his new mansion The Hays office, al though it didn’t like the picture, stated that “Sturdy and a good mixer, he lacks the mental jioise to withstand success.” In approach ing the Warner studios to find out more about this picture, we were told that we would have to see a mys terious gentleman “who handles all student relations” but since this party unknown never seemed to be at the studios, we decided to give up and take it for granted that Mr. Hearst and Warner Bros, are not in terested in student questioning. The same thing was in evidence at M. G. M. At Culver City, we se cured information about every sub ject, but when we inquired about "Riff-Raff,” another anti-labor film, the publicity director asked to be ex cused. In an attempt to find out how mo- tion-picture players, who had gradu ated or attended college, felt about propaganda in films, we talked to Stuart Erwin on the set while mak ing “Exclusive Story” for M. G. M. Mr. Erwin attended the Uni versity of California at Berkeley for one year, became stage-struck, and loft to become an actor. He will have, been working in pfctures for eight years in May. He thought that both the theater and the cin ema should stick to entertainment only. He thought there wag enough trouble in the world without pay ing good money to sit through a heavy movie. He said he had no ticed some of the new college pic tures and termed them “subtle forms of militarism.” I don’t like a picture that isn’t amusing or en tertaining.” Sorry that he hadn’t completed his college course, Erwin said a college education is very nec essary to be successful in a broader sense in the movie industry. “If I were at college again, I’d start off by majoring in languages— Spanish, German, French, Greek and Latin. I would work up on my his tory, too. When you’re working in the movies, you’ve got to have them. In this game, you’re talking against time, and you can’t be too familiar with your lines. Your lines can never be jwlished. ” He thought that the best college films were musicals. Didn’t know why it was that the movies couldn’t make a picture with authentic col lege atmosphere and understanding. Thought that there were tremendous educational possibilities in the movie especially in the forms of medicine, history, and geography. He admit ted reading Hearst jjapers an thought that most of Hollywood did. This is not to be condemned too much as the papers in Suothern California are far and away the poorest in the country, and they are none of them too healthy morally on the student problem. Then over at Paramount, we met a comparative newcomer to the cine matic ranks Gail Patrick. The studio publicity department tell us that “she stands alone — the only cam pus belle who ever made good in Hollywood.” Miss Patrick attended Howard College in Ali^bama and stated that she had been attached to NSFA several years back at How ard. Miss Patrick felt very definitely that a college education was of prime neioessity in her work. She thought that the day of the stage was about over, but she said that she had never done any stage work outside of what she did at Howard in extra-curricular activities. She had no desire to ever do any teaching at college, and she refused to issue any statement about the fight against collegiate liberalism in films because she said she only saw pictures which would help her in her own screen work. Miss Pat rick, a very dazzling redhead, said that her ambition in life is to be come Governor of Alabama in 1952. We spoke to a gentleman in the Paramount Publicity Dej>artment. somewhat astonishing facts about extras iu Hollywood. Out of everv 1000 applicants for extra work, 300 have been to college for at least a year, 40i0 have high school diplomas, and 300 have grade-school education. This is quite an increase, we were told, from several years ago when most extras were much leas educated. Hundreds of former socialites and, playboys from wealthy families ap ply each month for extra work and are glad to get it. Four months ago, there was a Central Casting List of 11,000 names. Today this list has been cut to 6500 names. W'hen a .studio wishes, let us say, fifty Italian workmen, they go to a machine, newly installed in their offices on Hollywood Boulvard, press a button or two, and fifty cards pop out with the name, photo, address, and abil ities of e.ach on a card. Ho pulled a card out of his desk drawer and showed it to us. The name was Thomas D’arcy Corrigan. The man is about 70. He has a M. A., Ph. B., and a Doctor of Laws Degree —to mention only a few. He attend ed the University of Madrid and Trinity College in Dublin. He prac ticed law. He took to the theater after he had reviewed shows in Lon don for a newspaper. Turning to the Theater, he worked in Shakespearean shows under a great many famous names of the period. lie was called to assist in the editing of the Punk and Wognall’s Dictionary. And these were but a few of his experiences. He has just completed several days work on the Mae West picture at $10 a day. And he was glad to get that. The new Mae West picture will bo released in about two months. We spoke to her press manager, and l>e vyas pleased to tell us about her. “I can tell you anything about her that you want to know. She trusts me!” cess to her great personality. “Per- He said that Mae West owed her suc- sonality,” he stated, “is 75% of success in the movies. Mae has been an entertainei: all her Ifie. She feel* that she knows what the public wants, and she gives it to them. ’ ’ —National Student Mirror.
