Q5 THE MAIQLBGIQOUGH DIAIQV 565 H I ficient! It seems to me that if you live in Iowa, you always turn out to be efficient. Jayne: Either that, or you're very Highty. Now, take Virginia Andrews. After two years in Miss De Wolfe's classes, she decided that she would also give the Iowa man a once-over. That was fifteen years ago, and she hasn't made up her mind yet. She'll probably marry them all, eventually. Me: Same way with Carrie Louise Newkirk. She went to Yale to get her Doctor's Degree, and she's still one of the students. I am sure it can't be lack of brains. And yet, there must be some reason for the delay. Well, say, there's Barbara Huber, down there about four rows in front of us. Isn't she brown! She fairly glows, even inside of this theater. How did she get that way? Jayne: My dear, she's a Life Guard at the Club on the Sands. And in her idle moments she picks up umbrellas off the beach. And when she's feeling really lazy, she takes care of young children when their mothers want to go in swimming. She's quite famous on the beaches. Me fstaringJ : She is changed, isn't she? Jayne: Quiet! The picture is going to begin. ' Me: Is that the cast? Read it to me, will you please, Jayne? live lost my glasses again. Jayne: This isn't the cast. It's just the directors and things. No one you know-except-yes! Esther Allen! Designer for Film Art. Pretty talented, isn't she? Ah, here's the cast. Oh, everyone's in it! Me: Who's everyone fpettishlyy? Oh, where are my glasses? Jayne: I'1l read it straight down, so you won't miss anything. Geraldine Hunter ......................................,.,...........................,...... Gloria Swank, the heroine Letitia Fairbanks ........................................,........................,,.. Mrs. Swank, Gloria' s mother Betty Jeanne Kuder .................................... Mary Thresher, a young girl fresh from the soil of a California Orange Grove fshe has her Orange Show ticket in her pocket to prove itj Sally Swigart ....................................... Little Molly, the youngest of ten sisters, who has come to the city with her big sister, Mary. Molly is having trouble in the city, because the telephone operators can't understand baby talk. Me fturning to her, after having hunted all over the floor and seat while Jayne was talkingJ: You know, I think I must have left them at home! It ought to be pretty good, don't you think?

Om THE MAIQLBQIQQUGH DIAIQY 5-65 I I Me: Oh, for ages, simply ages. They started their trade with Jacqueline Smith-the famous dentist-who was going up to Switzerland to find a kind of tangerine that helped along teeth. She never came down, I'm afraid. Or if she did, she came down without her tangerinesf' Jayne: How sad! That story is similar to Mary Margaret Hobson's. She wanted to be in the Scientific Research business, but when she took the entrance examination, she flunked fiat-due, I think, to her poor method of studying at school-no system, you know. The head scientist told her where she could go in such a way that she took offense and decided that she'd show him, the old meany! So she left for Mars. She landed all right, but now she can't come down again, and Pat Ruck- stell is planning to go up and get her. Pat has made several record-break- ing Hights in her 116 cylinder Ford plane, one to the moon, and two non- stops around the earth. Me: Why, I think that's wonderful! Did she get any reward?,' Jayne: 0h, yes! Betty Hale, the president of the Austin Motor Company, presented her with a collapsible Austin that can be carried in a plane, so that Pat would always have a means of transportation, even on the moon. And Brenda Boos, chairman of the Ladies' Aid Society, gave her a smut tag ffor social prestigej and a lavender mascot ffor companionable sentiment up in the stretches of dreary atmosphereJ. Virginia Gray was going to take a group picture of the tag, the mascot, and Brenda, but she was late. Me: Remember how active Brenda used to be? Chairman of the Ladies' Aid! But age does begin to tell. Look at Betty Lee Cline. Fifteen kids, and she never had time to do anything except let those twins, and triplets, and singletons run her ragged Last time I saw her, she was try- ing to keep a half a dozen of heruboys from playing football with the baby. Jayne: And Natalie Tatum! She used to be a non-smut fifteen years ago. But now she has her eye on bigger things. She spoke over television last week on Woman-and Her Place in the World. She's an economist, you know. I guess shels made a success of it. She was always interested in queer things. She learned the divorce laws by spend- ing three months in Reno with three different husbands. And, after she had lived off the state and the country poor house for six weeks, she wrote that book, 'From Marlborough to the Poor House, and Why.' Me: 'Tm afraid we're neglecting the picture. Jayne: It's only the news reel. Me: But look! Them-e's a picture of Ada V. Blake driving a tractor. 'Woman farmer in Iowa.' Doesn't she look husky, though, and so ef- 11711
