Aline Mosby title she does
not explore. But for a movie
role she at last has the chance
to cut off her red hair, wipe off
4he make-up and play a prison
Inmate in drab clothes. And on
top of turning unglamorously
dramatic, she's pulled another
switch and posed for her first
cheesecake photos in a brief
bathing suit.
"I never posed in a bathing
suit before and maybe that's
why they put me in hoopskirts,"
sighed Arlene.
Never Had Chance
I never had a chance for a
really dramatic role, either.
always wore beautiful clothes
and just walked through pic
tures. I looked too lady-like.
"Wall T'o Vnfo4 T want
to pfay a dipsomaniac and give
(Gloria Grahame a little compe
tition. This current role, is my
first big break. No make-up,
straight hair. I lost weight and
lowered my voice. I've lost more
roles because I didn't have a
Brooklyn accent!"
During the last year, Arlene
stuck to her guns and watched
"the lady-like roles I turned
down to other actresses." Final
ly she got a chance for an un-
glamorous role opposite Rhonda
Fleming in "Slightly Scarlet."
"I want more dramatic roles,"
she said. "If people don't like
this picture, IH be back in hoop-

n I visited Arlene at her Bel
Air home (done in gray, to set
off hp red hair) for a look at
the "new" Dahl. Before, Arlene
admits, "People thought Rhonda
and. I looked alike. Now, m
short hair and then bangs, Ar
lene looks to me like a young
Jeanette MacDonald.
Loses Plum Role
, The strenuous dramatics of
, "Slightly Scarlet" nearly cost
Arlene her life. She collapsed
with anemia at the end ' of the
picture, and had to give up a
plum role in "War and Peace"
to Anita Ekberg.
But Arlene takes the bad luck
cheerfully. In fact, she also
laughs (in a lady-like way) over
reports she and Rhonda - had a
lively feud during filming of
"Slightly Scarlet." She insists
publicists for . the picture
"(teamed up the ffeud and
Rhonda and I just laughed over
it." ' .......
'Nonetheless, it's interesting to
. hear one actress talk about an
other. -
"The " producer wouldn't let
us see the rushes. He thought
. if one had more close-ups than
the other . . ." she said, and
; laughed again.
She sipped some tea and went
on, "Rhonda looks like a mil
lion dollars in this picture. I
' look like something the cat had
dragged in. '.'But then, I've had
all that glamour. She can have
it!"

Commenting on my dislike of
a poached egg on corned beef
hash, a Bostonian says I am miss
ing one of the world's best cul

rates it second to Boston baked

poached eggs on hash for me. I
believe it ruins the eggs and the
hash.

Know how two of Manhat
tan's wealthiest restaurant pro
prietors achieved their position?
Onrrwas previously a head wait
er in a popular place. The other
a bartender in a well known
cafe. Both spent much time in
making friends with customers.
They developed f ollowings. When
they went in business for them
selves they took their follow
ings with them. I know of' a
manicurist who did likewise.
She had a following of about 40
customers. And so what? She
bought a barber shop and started
off with her following of 40
as customers. Now she owns two
barber shops and three mink
coats. Keep this in mind, young
fellow. Develop a following.
That's like money in the bank.
Best
Note a product referred to as
"one of the three best Scotches
in the world." The other two are
not mentioned. I am curious. I
call upon the experts for enlight-
ment. What are the three best
brands of Scotch whiskey in the
world? I don't know exactly
how many brands of Scotch there
are but a liquor shop on Madi
son ave., Manhattan, claims to
have over 200 different brands
of Scotch in stock. So for any
brand : to be rated one of the
"three best" would be quite a
distinction.
Remembering
A New Yorker said he believed
that a number of years ago he
had heard a song about a "Yel

ferent as to words and music
from the current hit of that title.
He is right. There was another
song titled. "The Yellow Bose of
Texas" written many years ago.

A husband when streamlining
a plump wife should be careful
not to overdo it. He shouldn't
let her get too thin. That's bad
for the health. Besides, it makes
a female irritable and difficult
to get along with. The husband
should check on what his wife
should weigh for a woman of
her age- and height. Then he
sould weigh her every morning.

"She is in a logical position

said Dr. Snyder.
He said it is necessary to

for his convalescence.
"The physicians all spend
some time with her after every
examination discussing her hus

wants to know every possible

Dr. Snyder also said Mrs. Eis

Eden, Minister
Reported Split
Margate, England - (U.R)
British Socialists opened their
national convention today with
a charge that Conservative
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
and his number-two cabinet min
ister had split over economic
policy.
The Labor party, seeking to
repair several splits of its own,
declared in its official newspa
per that . Eden's chancellor of
the exchequer, R. A. Butler,
"has been defeated inside the
cabinet" and "wants to give up
his job."
The Labor party's official or
gan, The Daily Herald, said
Butler was outvoted in the cab
inet "oil a major part of his
treasury policy" aimed at stem
ing Britain's dollar shortage.
. Political sources already had
indicated at least a lack of "full
accord" on the measures needed
to correct the shortage, haunt
ing Butler's treasury after three
years of high exports.

Tall Tribe
Booth said the Tuaregs had no
need of 'such artifice, because
most Tuareg men are well over
six feet tall. The Tuaregs wear
white turbans.
There are two theories about
the origin of the tribe, now a
dying matriarchy. One is that
the Tuaregs were descended
from a lost Roman Legion. The
other is that they are descend
ants of a band of Crusaders, cut
off from returning to Europe by
the fall of Tunis.
"The Tuaregs carry, huge,

Booth said. "And each Tuareg
carries a poinard strapped to the
inside of his left forearm."
Males don the veil on reaching
manhood, he said, and from then
on they never let their faces be
seen.
By the time of Columbus and
the discovery of the new world,
Booth said, the black tribes of
Timbuctoo had built up the rich

said to have been hauled In by

This was the lush trade off
which the Tuaregs lived. A band
of nomads on the desert fringe,
they raided the caravans and
terrorized the Negroes.
"They had superior weapons,
and through the centuries they
built up a myth of white superi
ority and downright invincibil
ity," Booth said.
"I'll never forget the first Tua
reg I ever saw. We were riding
in our jeep-type car when a Tua
reg on horseback, his broad
sword by his side, appeared on
the crest of a sandy ridge.
