If
Dodging Stagnation Robert Donat plays with ship model.
Donat, Veteran Actor, Scorns
Security for Ups and Downs
He sounded
By ED L. CAMPBELL
(AP Newsfeatures)
London Security, said the man, is stagnation
like he knew what he was talking about.
Certainly Robert Donat, for he was that veteran British actor
doing the talking, can say at the age of 44 that his own life has
been neither secure nor stagnant.
Currently the outlook is
bright. Donat's newest picture,
"The Winslow Boy," from the
smash stage hit by Terence Rat
tigan, played to big houses in
London's West End.
But It has been a long time
since he scored his last film
hit. And a lot longer since he
did anything outstanding on
the stage.
He started with a big film
winner in "The Count of Monte
Cristo." Then, after several
mediocre efforts, he rang the
theatrical bell in James Bridie's
"Sleeping Clergyman."
,On the debt side went another
string of efforts until Hollywood
skyrocketed him to the 1940
star of the year award in "Good
bye, Mr. Chips,"
The war and Donat's own
Lancashire stub bornness
brought on the next "low."
Donat sent his wife and three
children to the United States
in order to protect them from
Hitler's bombing, but he refus
ed to leave London himself.
Arguments with Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer
over this finally
ended in mutual agreement to
dissolve his connection with the
American company.
The result was a return to
the stage and little success.
His wife returned after the
war but only to obtain an uncon
tested divorce.
Donat tried out and missed the
part of Bill Sykes in "Oliver
Twist." He got a bit part
hardly three minutes in Stew
art Granger's "Captain Boycott."
Then came "The Winslow
Boy." Sir Alexander Korda,
who always has liked Donat's
work, gave him the difficult role
made famous by the stage star,
Emlyn Williams.
Donat explains his checkered
career by acknowledging that
"people call me difficult."
He is apt to receive guests
dressed in unpressed tweeds,
an old sweater, a shirt with
rumpled collar and tie awry.
He will sprawl on the floor to
demonstrate the construction
of a model ship he and his old
est son, John, are building to
gether. John and Brian and
daughter Joanna divide their
school holidays between their
parents.
Try to steer the conversation
into personally pryng channels,
and Donat is off like a deer,
talking of other things.
"'The creative artist must pre
serve his freedom if only to pre
serve the element of uncertain
ty," he declaimed. "If the only
thing you get out of life is secur
ity, the result is stagnatoin."

Dallas Bear Eater Club
Has Dinner Minus Bruin
Dallas, Dec. 16 Bear dishes were scarce at the annual feast of
the unique Bear Eater Nimrods club in Dallas but the menu did
have one course of bear meat (Royal Roast of Bear with Porcu
pine Saute), and all kinds of other wild game made up for the
shortage.
Attendance at the mth annual
feed was 100 per cent but for
Taft Hamrick of Anchorage,
Alaska, who sent a telegram that
he was unable to be present and
notified the club members that
he had been unable to kill a
brown bear for the occasion.
The members unanimously voted
to excuse him.
Linza Dennis, the Hornblower,
sounded the call for the feast
which annually marks the close
of the hunting season The in
vitation follows:
Greetings: To all you rip-roaring,
Bear-eating, Bobcat-chewing,
lying, shooting Sons of the
Old West. The leaves have fal
len, the snow has tipped the
hi?h summits, boot blisters and
bedroll bruises have healed, and
it is again time that we should
meet to renew our strength for
the coming winter, spin our tales
and gloss over our misses in con
genial fellowship. So gather at
the Dale (Dennis' home in Oak
dale district) at sundown fully
prepared to follow through with
all the time-honored rituals of
our organization. Mountain mu
sic by 'the master, Allen Dunn,
at the official opening by the
Hornblower. Poems by Tennis
(Curt Tennis of Corvallis) the
Terrible, and sundry music and
mirth by the group (All meats
submitted must bear the approv
al of Doc Peterson and all bear
meat must have passed his run
ning test).
"To be followed by a period
oi recuperation and relaxation
before blazing fireplace, song,
story and mountain music as the
spirit moves.
"For recognition: The red
chapeau. (Signed) The Horn
blower." Most unusual menu of this
most unusual dinner was as fol
lows: Elk milk; rump roast of Yu
kon Lamb (by Wiley Gardner);
Moose's Caboose; Mule Deer's
Ears, Panther Dew; Royal Roast
of Bear with Porcupine Saute;
Bobcat Salad; Cougar Steak; Elk
Milk; Cow Elk Ribs, a la Linza;
Snow Flakes by Wiley. (Numer
ous condiments of the meal will
be added).
Owing to the circumstances
under which the bear meat was
procured, Doc Peterson had
ruled after giving it the test that
it be cooked for eight hours over
an open fire of buffalo chips
This rule was complied with,
Cooks Gardner and Dennis aver
red The grizzly bear and the
polar bear of the 1948 feed were
missing, but in their stead was
a haunch of mountain sheep

Low Schedules
United Air Lines today form
ally filed with the civil aeronau
tics board its proposed first-class
low-fare tariff for certain DC-4
flights over two segments of its
system. Subject to CAB approv
al, effective date for the new
service is January 16.
The special fare, averaging 5
cents a mile, would apply only
to daily round-trip DC-4 over
night flights on which, contrary
to other schedules, cargo would
be cabin-loaded. The designat
ed flights would be the over
nights between Chicago-Omaha-Salt
Lake City-Boise-Portland -Seattle
and Los Angeles-San
Francisco-Portland-Seattle. I n
addition to the reduced basic
fare, family plan, round-trip and
children's discounts would be of
fered. While fares would be lower,
due to proposed cabin loading of
front seats, service would re
main on a first-class level. The
DC-4's used would be equipped
with standard number of 44
seats. Meals would be served
and each plane also would carry
its normal complement of two
stewardesses.
Proposed fares for the new
service would be approximately
17 per cent below standard rates.
Fares listed include the fol
lowing between Portland and
the cities shown below.
Chicago $96.50, Omaha $75.-
30, Denver $51.05, Salt Lake
$32.05, Boise $17.45, San Fran
cisco $27.60.
