VANISHING AMERICANISMS By INEZ GERHARD RNOLD MOSS has succeeded in so many fields that it is hard to know where to begin de scribing him. He entered college at 15, has a m aster’s degree. He has been a success on the stage, radio and screen, as actor, writer and producer. As narrator for “Duel in the Sun” he was so good that he was engaged for the same stint for "Arch of Triumph.” His latest A I 3 That night we had dinner at the Plaza and it was there that we first saw Kandace. She was sitting alone in a booth, and when she caught Joe staring at her boldly, she nodded and smiled at him. ARNOLD MOSS picture is “Reign of Terror,” for Eagle-Lion. During the war he did broadcasts in four foreign lan guages, narrated six pictures for the navy. The coming season will see him on the stage in "Twelfth Night,” and on television as well. He is married, has two young children—and makes interviews a pleasure. Daytime serials may be broad cast in Korea, if Miss Ok Yul Kim, an announcer, and Mr. Young Ho Song, a director, both with the Korean radio network, have their way. Here to tour New York’s radio studios and study American technique, they visited “The Road of Life” and "Young Dr. Malone" broadcasts, said they’d recommend them to their government-operated radio system. George Burns and Gracie Al len cut their European visit short by two weeks, came rush ing home to Hollywood early this month. Could be that they had last-minute preparations to make for their new comedy show, starting September 21 on CBS. Lon McCallister has made only two pictures for Warners', but they represent the high and low of his career. In 1941, in "Gentleman Jim,” he did a bit role; in “The Story of Seabiscuit” he’s co-starred with Shirley Temple and Barry Fitzgerald. Instinctively I knew, when I saw the tall dark man come through the door, that Joe was in for trou ble. And I was right. The tall dark man strode toward the booth and there was something about him that caused my blood to creep. I stood up, but was by no means quick enough. The stranger had grasped Joe by the coat front, jerked him to his feet and slapped his face. After a while a messenger came in and handed me a note. I read it and looked sourly at Joe. “Now you’ve done it. That was Count Obeid and that was his girl you in sulted.” “Insulted?” said Joe. "And he wants to fight a duel with you. He realizes our boat sails first thing in the morning, so in order to accommodate us he’ll await our pleasure at dawn. He will do you the honor of permitting you to choose your own weapons.” Joe shook his head and tried to grasp it. “That punk—the dope who smacked my jaw—wants to fight a duel? You mean like they do in Sabatini’s books?” "And I can choose my own weapons,” Joe went on. He stood up. “Come on.” I followed him, not quite daring to use force in stopping him again, yet ready for any emergency. We went back to the Plaza. The count and his girl were, of course, gone. Joe made inquiries, wrote down an address and beckoned me to fol low. A taxi deposited us before a pretentious looking house of white adobe. A servant admitted us and presently Count Obeid appeared. "You’re giving me the honor of choosing my own weapons,” said Joe “ I’ll take these,” and he knot ted up his fists and held them W w e ll, to represent ' i to *23 w e e k ly ; set your own drrases ns bonus.

Also, why wait till dawn?” HAT followed was pitiful. We trooped into the back yard. Joe and the count took off their coats and squared off. Grinning, Joe stepped in and delivered a quick one-two on the nobleman's chin. Blood appeared on his mouth. He swung wildly. Joe set him back on his heels. The count came in again and Joe knocked him down. He got up and came back for more. “Listen, old horse,” he said, "you're as dumb about the customs back in America as I am about them over here.
