Well, Not Really Whenever Myma Loy hears someone assert that the reason for her success on the screen is that she always plays herself, she smiles and wonders. She thinks mostly of her role as Nora Charles, the fun-loving wife of Detective Nick Charles in “An other Thin Man,” which opens to day at the Palace theatre. It was this role that started her fame as “the perfect wife”. She’s plyed it three times. “Nora Charles is a typical mod ren wife, somewhat exaggerated to get over the type,” she smiles. “But there are lots of things Nora does that I would never dream of doing at home and I like to think of myself as at least an average wife. “Nora amuses me because she is the sort of character it is easy to become in this day and age. Speed is the keynote of our existence and modem women, like men, try to meet its demands. We all seem to fear ‘he who hesitates is lost’. Nora isn’t calm or composed an instant.

The proof lay in a set repro ducing a Scottish public inn of the 1830’s which John Goodman, unit art director, declared to be the most difficult set to re-create authentically for the picture. “There were no Scottish inns of consequence ifptil about 1800,” he explained. English inns dated back to medieval times. But in Scotland, while they may have been watchful of their pennies, the townsfolks cared for wayfar ers beneath their own roofs.” o FAVORS RAGWEED Ragweed as a cover to land that will be planted in tobacco seems to be desirable following various tests made by College and fed eral scientists.
