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.

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

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."

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. The action challenged constitu
tionality of the November, 1036, ex
propriation law, the executive de
cree seizing the oil holdings and
President Cardenas' decision Octo
ber 35 rejecting the companies' Joint
"administrative appeal" against Ions
of their properties
A similar suit, pending for sev
eral months, was dismissed by the
supreme court on October 8 on the
grounds that there was no room for
appeal against the constitutionality
of the expropriations until a ruling
v.ms handed on the companies' "ad
min Utrnt'.ve appeal." With the lat
ter Oecldec against the firms, the
way waa ;leared for filing of the
latent suit.
