October 24, 1947. THE SALEMITE Page Five. Taylor Continues Travels; Hits Hollywood W ith a Bang by Carolyn Taylor « From Salt Lake City, we bounced and jogged by bus through Yellow stone Park, where we conscienti ously fed bears; through the Grand Canyon,, where we oohed and ahh-d over the magnificence of the can yon; and back to the one-horse town of Lund, Utah. The most exciting event, in my opinion, of our trip through the parks was an acquaintance I made with a soda-jerker in a drug-store in Cedar City, Utah, who had been stationed at Cherry Point Marine Base and had been to Morehead City, my hometown. We took the train from Lund, Utah, and started across the Utah and Nevada deserts to Los Angeles. We passed through Las Vegas, but the closest I got to a gambling house was the soda-fountain in the train station. We arrived in “L. A.”, as I affectionally called it after two hours, early in the morning. We were packed into limousines and sent off on a tour of Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills. My dri ver was about 60 years old and had never heard of any movie stars except Bebe Daniels and Mary Pick- ford. He pointed out the houses where the stars used to live, but hadn’t the faintest idea where any live now. The only gratifying event of the day was a glimpse of Glenn Ford as he came hurtling around the street corner in his con vertible. The next morning we took a tour of Warner Bros. Lot. It was a dis appointment to find all the sets used in movies to be nothing but ply- board fronts, held up in the rear by two-by-fours. We rode from an Italian street to a Switzerland vil lage, to Fifth Avenue in New York City. We passed one sound stage and who should walk out of his dressing room but Humphry Bogart, who, to our surprise, looked just like he does in the movies. Students Show In Art Exhibit This year, for the first time, Win ston-Salem \^’ill participate in Nat ional Art Week—November 1-7. This is a country-wide celebration which tries to bring recognition to home town artists and their work. Participants from Salem College will include Mr. Bromberg, Frank Trotman, lone Bradsher, Anne Cole man, Deborah Sartin, Mary Jane Trager, Mary Davis, Mrs. Bledsoe, and Virginia McConnell. If enough entries are received from this vici nity, the exhibit will be held in Salem College Art Gallery. This exhibition should be very interesting to Salem students. All pictures will be for sale. That afternoon, a friend of mine, who worked on the Paramount lot, got us passes into the Paramount Studio. We watched the making of a Mexican short, under the direction of Mitchell Leisen, who directs the major Paramount movies. They do one scene over and over until per fection is reached. (Hint to aspir ing screen stars—movie making is anything but glamorous!) The sound stages look like warehouses, and the dressing rooms of the stars like doll-houses. As we were leav ing, a convertible driven by a young woman, passed us. I mentioned to Kay that she looked very familar. She replied that she was Veronica Lake. I hadn’t recognized her be cause she had her hair in an up sweep and not in the usual “hang ing over one eye” style. We left "L. A.” the nevt morn ing, and took the daylight trip up the coast to San Francisco. More about that fascinating city next time. “Reznicks For Records” Complete Stock of Becords & Sheet Music KEZINICI^’S 440 N. Liberty .
