The guest on the television show
was more than 50.
She showed
up with battle

The director,
who had been
a TV expert
for a long time,
shot his hands
up and said:
"Good heav
ens, get that
old lady out of
here!"
The "old
1 a d v" was
Uarman Nichols Gloria Swan-
son, mi old Irouper who wasn't
easily "gotten out." She wasn't
that time, cither. She put her
No. 5-AAA shoe down and in-
isted on going through the per

The sponsor looked at the
how and reported that the love

noining, looked a Kit younger
than his video star, who was
made up In red lip slick and who
was pushing 25.
Miss Swanson told me about
the incident over a spot
lunch at the Slntlcr,
television technical adviser;
they need a little Hollywood
training." she said. "In black
and white productions under
proper lights, the battleship gray
lipstick looks neutral.
Could Ltarn A Lot
Miss Swanson, who has just
made her first picture since 1U41,
believes that backstage and on
stage TV folks could learn a lot
from the experts in filmland
The actress had her own tele
vision show for a time and ran
into all sorts of trouble. She'd ex
pect a telephone to ring. Maybe
it would, more often it wouldn t.
Or worse, it would ring ahead of
time or late.
"You can ad-lib around that
sort of thing on the radio," she
said. "But while you can t see a
phone rung, on TV you can see
the person sitting there helpless
ly wun a pnone in nano on cue
waiting for a buzz. It looks like
the dickens."
Another thing the television
people don't know how to use,
according to Miss Swanson, is the
lighting system.
She once was on a show wnere
he had two lights trained on her,
with the cards containing her
lines placed between the two
of lights. She was supposed to talk
to somebody wilh her head turn-
"That's the trouble wilh therd one way and then switch to

of five mountain ranfies, 129

Tok Junction during 194a. in
1948, 4.462 vehicles used the

The hichwav. built at a cost of
$138,000,000 in 1942, is an all
weather gravel type. It is the
only route connecting Alaska
with Canada and hence me
United States by land.
Built for military use during
the war, the Alaska highway was
opened for tourist use in Febru
ary, 1B48. The route wanders
through a vast, nearly uninhab
ited land for hundreds of miles.
but the greatest distance between
accommodations of some kind is
only 94 miles.

She told the director "no" and
he gave her a bad time. When
she twisted her head from light

San Francisco, Mar. 17 U.R)
A. T. Mercier, president of
Southern Pacific company an
nounced today the inal figures
of 1949 earnings showed a 25.3
per cent drop from net income
in 1948.
Mercier reported the net in
come of SP transportation sys
tem last year was $32,675,617.88.
a drop of $11,094,662.36 from

Mercier blamed extremely se
vere weather in the west, north

states in the early months of
1949 for affecting earnings.
Moreover, he said, the increases
in wages plus the 40-hour week,
made inroads on the year's
profits.
