Friday, September 23, 1938. THE SALEMITE Page Five. BACK STAGE WITH THE DAWN PATROL (Continued Prom Page One) are quite normal; fo rinstanc.e, his favorite foods are cake, chops, steak, and he’s a perfect fiend about fudge, which he is constantly receiving from ardent fans. His favorite song is Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” and although his music leaves him little time for anything else, he does have a weakness for pipe collecting. (He smokes cigars). Mr. Hall’s orchestra has been playing about sixteen years, having started out at the Ambassador’s Ho tel in New York in 1922. The maes tro himself is from a musical family. His father was concert-master in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Damrosch, and he himself was a member of a symphonic orchestra before organizing his band. As to his musical tastes, Mr. Hall confesses a liking for both classical and swing music, each in its place. “However,” he said, “if I had it all to do over again, I’d still have my swing band!’ ’ On this present tour he has play ed at ten colleo'es and finds that swinsr ill moderation is the favorite for dancing. He came south on this trip chiefly because the greatest re sponse to his radio programs is from this sect'on of the country. “On the whole,” he said, “southern peo pie are more interested in music, and take dancing more seriously than the northerners do.” Southerners, ho said, are less demanding and will take almost any kind of music given them. Travelling with Mr. Hall and the band is Mrs. Hall who "mothers” the bovs. Large, jolly, and typically Ital ian, she is a personality equally as important backstage as lier husband. She thoroughly enjoys travelling with the orchestra, and apparently “the bovs” like to have her around too. Offering pepnermints to the Salemites, she confided that among her “family” were two bridegrooms, one of them having been married only a week ago. Their brides, how ever, do not enjoy Mrs. Hall’s priv ilege of travelling with the band. Mrs. Hall, like her husband, is a real New Yorker — accent and all. But she confesses quite a liking for southerners. “The loveliest thing in the South,” she said, “is the speaking voice of its women.” While our two Salemites were back stage making friends with Mr. and Mrs. Hall, i)olly Dawn was “out front” watching the movie which preceded the performance. Later, she came in, dressed in grey plaid slacks and a wine-red shirt. (She wears slacks for travelling). As she changed from slacks to rust suede dress and green suede hat, Robin Hood style, she chatted merrily with the interviewers. They describe her as being vivacious, unspoiled, and enthusiastic as a college girl — so enthusiastic in fact that she all but bubbles over. She never stays still a minute, but is always up and pranc- inir about, ioking, teasinnr, and hav ing a wonderful time. Her clothes she said, arc designed by Wilma of New York. Dolly confessed that swing is not her chi^>f interest, for she is study- inpT for the opera. At home in New York she takes voice lessons each morning. In case you didn’t know, Dolly won an amateur contest three and a half years aeo in Newark, N. J„ where she lived; and in that wav became connected with the band, Refore that time she had nev er thought of singing as a profession. Since live dogs scare Dolly, she started collecting toy dogs in the hope that she would get over her fear. Now she has a collection of over five hundred pets of every size and description — many of them sent to her by fans. She has one, a pedigreed, over five hundred years old. Dolly’s real jiame is Teresa Anna Maria Hobile, Italian. In common with most girls Dolly keeps a scrap book — in fact she keeps three of them! It’s all in the family, but Dolly and Mrs. Hall call George “Poppy.” ‘We think Poppy is the handsomest man in the world,” they said. “Don’t youf” THE WRONG^'^RIGHTOF IT 1 It is from this starting position that a person entering a car so often ,stumbles headlong into the seat. Note the awkward position of the tntirt body, the unlovely lines of the legs. Posed by Virginia Grey. In entering an automobile, the body should always be facing toward the front of the car; the right foot should be the first on the running board, allowing the body to keep the graceful lines and to enter easily. FIRST FULL WEEK OF CHAPEL PROGRAMS (Continued From Page One) Our closing chapel of the week on Friday morning was begun with the singing of “Fairest Lord Josus. ” After the announcement, Rev. Gor don Spaugh from the Home Church spoke to us on the subject: The “Peril of Moral Neutrality.” There is no middle road in religion; there is no neutral ground; there is no an swer but “yes” or “no.” Chris tianity i.s not a negative thing. The fact that a person does not do certain things is not enough to make him a Christian. There is no other thing in the Christian religion that needs doing over over as much as the phrase “thou shalt not.” There is no better place for bad habits to grow than in a noutral heart. “Kll your heart with the spirit of Christ, and let the ‘don’ts’ take care of themselves. ’ ’ THE WORLD OVER ANSWER TO “HOW DtIMB ARE YOU?” Call the candidates A. H. & C. Any one of the t^iree could have ar rived at the conclusion at which A. arrived. He arrived at his conclusion negatively. This was A’s. reason ing: I have got to prove one of two tilings: whether or not I am marked. I will start off reasoning negatively. Suppose I am not marked. I can see that B and O are marked, and they can sec that I am not marked. We are all tapping our feet because we see soot on at least one person’s forehead. B and C are both intelli- rrent men. If I am not marked, then one of them will immediately know that he is marked, because that is the only explanation for the other’s tapping (as both B and C can see that A isn’t marked). But neither of them raises his hand to say that he is marked (as one of them would certainly do if I were not marked), Therefore I know that I am bound to be marked.” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has ac quired rights to "Scaramouche.” for both the novel and the play by Rafael Sabatini, and will film a talking veir- sion, “Scaramouche” was brought to the screen by Metro in 1923, under the direction of Rex In pram, with a cast headed by Alice Terry, Ramon Navarro, and Lewis Stone. in a corner of the browsing room in our college .stands a large, illumin. ated globe beautifully mounted on a walnut stand — a memorial pre sented last spring by Francos Wing field Alexander of the class of 1938 in memory of a I'Vances Mosely Wingfield of the class of 1836. At the time of its presentation this globe was accurate and up to date in every detail. But so turbu lent and changeable is the situation in modern Europe that already there is an inaccuracy in tjie mapping. Hitler’s annexation of Austria upset European boundaries as shown on the new globe. Colloge students more than any group of j>eople in the world should bo vitally concerned with current world-wide affairs and follow care fully each latest development. And yet, unfortunately, many college campuses aro isolated centers, blind and deaf to all outside change, com pletely centered about themselves. These are dramatic and history making times in which we live. Every college girl on our campus should b(> made to realize that this is true. The attention of all modern writers is concentrated upon central Europe. As fast as events take place the press releases good and I interesting interpretations and com mentaries. According to “The Saturday Re view of Literature” the best book released recently (and included in our library), upon the back ground of the European situation is John Gunther’s “Inside Europe.” Gunth er, an outstanding American foreign correspondent with a wide range of experience in European capitals, has written a personality study of the world’s dictators: Hitler, Mussolini, Laval, DoIlfus.s, Stalin, Baldwin, and their associates, underlings, and ri vals. He also evaluates political currents, intrigues and social move ments going on in Europe. His book, in short, is a political guide through Europe, full of anecdotes, pictu resque touches, and moments of pro found insight. Current magazines in the library are full of articles which touch upon the most recent international devel opments. For example, in the Sep tember periodicals, these articles of interest were found: “Eduard Benes” by Carl Joachim Friedrick. “Atlantic Monthly.” A characterization and study of tho SOMETHING NEW FOR FALL ATTIRE (lition, ” by Arnold Hoellrigel. “Nation.” Also an editorial on America’s role in tlie war crisis. Salemites aro urged, for their own benefit, to make use of these library resources in keeping up with world developments. Salem Beauty Shoppe Newest Hair Styles Phone 7138 525Vi S.
