Hollywood Oscar Night
Now Disciplined TV Show
By ALINE MOSBY
Uniled Pren Writer
Hollywood (U.R) Oscar night
in Hollywood ha become a
disciplined TV show, but in the
old days the more informal
event was colorfully sprinkled
with bloopers.
Tomorrow four excited stars
will collect top film acting hon
ors at an academy awards
presentation that has been "dry
runned" into perfection.
Because of the demands of
television, the players aren't al
lowed to make thank - you
speeches or long-winded intro
ductions. In the '30s and '40s
such speeches livened up the af
fair. Wrong Frank
One year the late Will Rogers
was announcing the best direc
tor award. He talked on and on
about "My good friend, Frank."
Director Frank Capra was half
way to the stage when Rogers
suddenly boomed, "The winner
is Frank Cooper." Capra slunk
back to his seat.
In those days the awards were
handed out at a banquet. By the
time the guests partook of din
ner and juice of the grape, the
speeches got longer and the re
porters sleepier. One year pro
ducer L. B. Mayer put his arm
around winning producer Wil
liam Goetz and said, "I hope
someday you'll be as big a man
as I am." One wartime year di
rector C. B. DeMille introduced
the ambassador from China as
from Japan.
When Greer Garson won for
"Mrs. Miniver." she thank
youed for 45 minutes. The year

Olivia de Havilland collected for
"To Each His Own" she insisted
the award should be shared by
her 27 coworkers, and named
them all. Other winners fol
lowed this modest pattern except
writer Donald Ogden Stewart.
He declared, "I want it clearly,
understood I alone am respon
sible for the success of 'The Phil
adelphia Story.' I have no one to
thank but myself."
Hoagy Hugo
The year of Miss De Havil
land's first victory was punc
tuated with slip-ups. Producer
Samuel Goldwyn called song
writer Hoagy Carmichael
"Hugo". The projectionist got
the winning movie on the screen
upside down. And backstage
after the show Olivia snubbed
her sister, Joan Fontaine.
At first the Oscars were con
sidered too unimportant the
press did not cover the presenta
tions. The winners were an
nounced two months before the
banquet in the Motion Picture
Academy magazine.
Later the winners were re
leased to the press shortly be
fore the banquet, and academy
members read about it as they
ate the dinner. Clark Gable de
livered his acceptance speech to
the press a full hour before he
was handed his Oscar for "It
Happened One Night."
Now more than 500 corres
pondents from around the world
cover the academy event. But, as
many reporters annually wail,
"nothing happens at them any
more."

From Far
to Rome
Phoenix Ron Robbins, Phoe
nix, made a two-week vacation
trip to Rome, Italy, leaving
here March 11 and returning
March 27. He made the flight en
route through San Francisco and
enplaned at New York City on
the Trans World airliner, "Star
of Kentucky."
The first stop was at Shan
non, Ireland, where the group on
the plane had breakfast and then
continued on for a brief stop at
Paris, France, and at Geneva,
Switzerland. Fog hindered a
view of Paris but Mr. Robbins
described the flight into Geneva
a particularly beautiful one.
He arrived Sunday, March 13,
at Rome and spent the majority
of the time there, making side
tirps to Naples,' Pompeii and
Amalfi drive to the Bay of
Naples.
He also made a trip to Flor
ence and at Assissi attended
services at the church of St.
Francis of Assissi and visited
there the Franciscan monastery.
A friar showed him through the
chapels and various parts of the
monastery. There he viewed
paintings which had been done
by St. Francis.
- Back in Rome he also attend
ed a military concert held out-of-doors
in one of the old ruins
near the famed Coliseum.
Vestiges of the damage done
during World War II at Naples
was apparent, especially to for
mer industries and railways, Mr.
Robbins said.
He was particularly impressed
with the fact that everyone, re
gardless of station, appeared
well dressed both in style and
manner. The shops also were
filled with well-styled apparel
for both men and women and of
good materials, he explained.
The weather he found espe
cially good and spring flowers
and crops were in bloom.
Mr. Robbins made the trip
alone and decided only a short
time before his vacation to make
the trip to Italy. Because of the
briefnes he went without hotel
reservations but found accom
modations without difficulty and
the people friendly and eager to
show him about their cities. He
is employed in the collections
department at First National
bank, Medford branch.
Wives To Blame
For Failure of
Men in Kitchen
New York (U.R) The wom
an's to blame if the only time
Pop comes into the kitchen is to
see what she's cooking.
More men would do more of
the actual meal preparation if
they were given a little wifely
encouragement. And properly
handled, the men wouldn't leave
a trail of dirty dishes for the
women to wash up.
This optimistic outlook on men
as cooks comes from Andrew
A. Wilson, a bachelor, and the
only man entered in the recent
national cooking contest of Pills
bury Mills.
Wilson, an elementary school
official in West St. Paul, Minn.,
cooks as a hobby. He said femi
nine interference discourages a
lot of men who otherwise would
take up kitchen - puttering the
same way they take up golf or
stamp collecting.
"Trouble is," said Wilson, in
an interview, "the wife won't
let the husband cook his own
way. She has to be in there boss
ing the proceedings. . . usually
giving a progress report on what
he's doing wrong. So what hap
pens? After a while, the man
just gives up."
Wilson's advice to any woman
who would like to see her hus
band cook a meal now and then:
"When the man's in the kit
chen, you get out. Let him learn
by the few mistakes he will
make."
Getting him to wash the dishes
is another matter.
"Just point out it's easier to
wash as you go along," said
Wilson. "If this doesn't work
you have the perfect argument
for getting an automatic dish
washer." -

Two-Piece Suit Back
For Wear at Beaches
New York (U.R) The two
piece bathing suit is back in
sketchier form than during its
earlier spell of popularity.
Not that the nation's beaches
will bloom out exclusively in
bikinis come summer. But the
trend to the bared midriff is
here. One suit already showing
at southern resorts is the "Cleo
patra," a two-piece sarong style
designed by Milo Anderson for
Catalina.
This, one inspired by the
Egyptian influence in fashion in
general, was decribed by one
wit as the closest thing yet to
what the Egyptian working girl
of the Fourth Dynasty wore
which was nothing.
