MEDFORD M AIT., TRIBUNE. ftrEDEORD. OREGON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1938. PAGE NINE ROLE IS FILLED FASTi. STAGE Broadway Finds Fiery South ern 'Belle Type in Half An Hour While Film Capi tal Puts Years On Task Br JACK STINNETT AP Feature Writer NEW YORK Hollywood wasted a couple of years and a good many thousands without finding its Scar lett 0"H&r. but when Broadway needed a Scarlett, a producer got on the telephone and 30 minutes later there was Helen Clalrc. Clare Boothe'a caustic "Klaa The Boys Goodbye" Is not, of course, a dramatization of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind." But prac tically no attempt la made to veil the fact that It is a satirical story of the discovery of a modern South ern belle to play the film Scarlett. The Cindy Lou Bethany of the play get the Job, too, and before the cur tain falls there's no doubt In any one's mind that Cindy Lou, as por trayed by Miss Claire, deserves it. A "Snlt" Specialist Helen Claire has more southern background than a Cherokee rose, more charm than an Alabama moon. She can throw a "snlt" (tantrum to you) with feminine fury. And In de tense of her honor, ahe can shoot a movie producer as convincingly as If he were a dam-yankee soldier on a foraging expedition and she were Scarlett O'Hara. There's a reason for all this. Miss Claire was born and "raised up" In Union Springs, Ala. A grand father and several great unclea have tombstones there on which la written, "Killed In Action" In the CM! war. X proud posesslon Is a fading daguer rotype of another great uncle, Capt. Henry Clay Coleman, who led his own rebel company. An Eight-Year Siege At Virginia's Randolph Macon, Miss Claire got higher education, her Phi Beta Kappa key for outstanding cholaMlc work, and her first taste of dramatics. For eight years after that, ahe laid lege to Broadway. During that time ahe had manifold experience of radio, mall roles on the stage, the almost anonymous business of commenting for newsreels, and a year In Cincin nati. Ohio, with that astute director of stock companies. Stuart Walker. Rhe Went On working About a year ago, the movies. In their hunt for a Scarlett, got very warm. Anton Bundsmann, who ac companied Director George Cukor on that much-heralded southland tour, remembered Miss Claire. "T never saw myself aa Scarlett 0Hsra. The role I really felt and wanted to play was that of Melanle." aays Miss Claire. Aa la often the case, Hollywood, having gotten close to the goal, called the game off. Helen Claire went on with radio and newreela until Pro ducer Brock Pemberton, needing a Scarlett O'Hara in modern dress, re membered a bit ahe had done on Broadway and called her In. The rest la boxofflca history. Miss Claire Uvea In a penthouse on the upper west side of Manhattan. There's a southern atmosphere about tha plaoa. Perhapa that's dua to bar mother for Mrs. Claire never has had to sacrifice her southern aooent en the altar of radio and newsreel dramatics. Perhaps lt'a due, too, to Magnolia, Mlas Clalre'a young Negro maid, who also cornea from Union Springs and has a Tuskegee institute education.

T The beauties of Crater lake and the Rogue River valley were describ ed to a world-wide radio audience October 17 by Owth Cate, travel promotion manager of the New York World Telegram. Mr. Cate was In terviewed on General El ec trie's short wave stations W3XAD and W3XAF at Schenectady. N. T., the program being the laat of a aeries of three entitled, "A Newapaper Man's Air Tour of the Western United States." sponsored by the U. S, travel bur eau and the American Express com pany. Mr. Cate visited Medford and Crater lake during the past aummer, and from that visit he obtained the fallowing description of the lake and valley, which was told to radio lis teners throughout the world: "Yes, by United Airlines to Med ford. gateway to Crater lake. Jewel of the national parks. What a lovely bus Ade It is along the Rogue river, and up the mountains to the crater in which nestles this magic lake unique among wonders cf the world. Seven thousand feet above the aea, six miles wide, with a 38-mile shore line, surrounded by great cliffs, this unbelievably vivid blue lake la a paradox of nature. Two thousand feet deep and having neither Inlet nor outlet. Crater lake Is so cold that the snowdrifts which line Its shores never melt away, yet It Is so warm that the lake never freezes. "High up In the sky Is Its crater; deep down must you walk to reach 1U waters: Elsewhere there Is no lake so deep with waters so brilliant. With regrets at leaving this fascin ating lake and comfortable lodge. I found solace in the scenic ride back to Medford. There I was taken for a tour of the far-spread pear orch ards and through the packing house whence come the famous Bear Creek de luxe packagea of peaches, pears and grapes." 4 N DELINQUENCY MEADVILLE. Pa., Nov. 11. ( AP) A housewife In the backwoods farm ing community of Geneva. 15 miles from here, was Indicted today by a Crawford county grand jury on charges of forcing her two young daughters, 14 and 13 years old, Into prostitution. The children testified that their mother. Mrs. Smma Taylor, sent them to farm hands and laborers In the tiny town. Mrs. Taylor was held in Jail for criminal court on charges of contribution to delinquency of minors, prostitution of children un der 10 years of age, and assault and battery. - Five men were Indicted on stat utory chargea In connection with the onae. GIVE SEX APPEAL TO FOREIGN OIL CONCERNS FILE SECOND SUIT FOR By Slrrtd Ame AP Feature Writer. NBW YORK Jean Spadea was go ing along In a sweet-tempered way aa one of Fifth avenue's highest priced fashion artists. A yearly salary running Into five figures. But two years ago ahe became so annoyed by the glassy-eyed store window mannequins with straight up-and-down middles that she sat down and carved her own idea of a mannequin. Thereby she nomi nated herself for the very small crowd that's pioneering In new ldeaa of store display. Her mannequin had the curves of a live, alluring lady. One of Fifth avenue's fanciest stores snapped up 8ve (that's what Mrs. Spadea had named It). Now, Spadea figures are being sold acroa the country. And Eve has been booked to appear at the New York world's fair of 1030. Old-fashioned mannequins, says Mrs. Spadea. weren't clothes racks. ! but neither were they women. j Mrs. Spadea's models are brooding i beauties. They are plenty thin, but : they bulge where they should. They're ; long-legged. Some stand on one foot, . and that curves the other leg nicely. . They have deep eye sockets and hU;h cheek bones. They must be something because ; they seem to be cutting In on the flesh-and-blood beauties. There's a ; legend that New York young blonds j are sneaking off each week to oglo -their favorite Spadea model In the j window of the New York store that 1 has them exclusively. Seems the 1 gents want to see how their plaster j lady looks in each week's change of j dress. I They're turned out In the diamond studded heart of Manhattan 57th street Just off Fifth. Mrs Spadea uses a whole floor of the building: one room for what ahe meant to do (draw fashion pictures) and the rest for the' mannequin business that Just happened. That crushed loa cream cone wom en have been wearing as a hat la an example. Mrs. Spadea made one for herself four years ago. Forgot about it. Then dug It out to put on a mannequin In a display window. Month later similar hata popped up all over New York. Maybe there'a no relation, but anyway Mrs. Spadea eventually saw hata like hers selling by the hundreda In bargain base ments. So she's probably a good fashion weather vane. Which brings up pleas ant news for the ladles. Just now she hu a feeling (she doesn't know why) that she should add halt an inch to her mannequins' hips. That could start a new style trend and one more comfortable to the ladles. MEXICO' CITY, Nov. 11. (AP) Seventeen American. British and Dutch oil companies today filed suit In second federal district court In a new attempt to recover 9400,000.000 p roper t tea expropriated last March IB by decree of President Lazaro Car denas.
