Ethel Barrymore CoSt Says She Would Be Better As Miss Schultz By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York tip Ethel Bar rymore Colt was born into the most famous theatrical family in the world. But so far as her career goes, she would have been better off as plain Emma Schultz, she says today. "The Barrymore name is a terrible, terrible handicap to anyone starting out in the thea ter," says Miss Colt, a 45-year-old blonde who achieved a com fortable measure of . recognition as a concert and operatic, artist only after an arduous struggle. Miss Colt's mother, Ethel Bar rymore. is the subject of an NBC-TV "Command Perform ance" tribute this Saturday, a one-hour ceremony to which Miss Colt will contribute her filial genuflection. She will be joined by a curious collection of other Barrymore admirers in cluding Tallulah Bankhead, Jo seph Cotton, Vic Damone and Roy Campanella. Terrified at Debut "I knew that when I went into the theater as an actress 20-odd Is That So? By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist After watching Julio Gallo of Modesto, Calif., and his team of wine tasters taste his wines for one hour, I'm convinced: profes sional wine tasting is one of the most difficult and aroudus arts practiced. In the 20 samplings, the tast ers, never know what they are tasting, whether it is wine for blending or a batch which which might have attained its peak of excellence and is therefore ready for bottling. And, occasionally, to keep tasters on their toes, the laboratory slips in a sleeper a white wine, say, to which an odorless tastesless coloring matter has been added. The tasting room is sealed The temperature is 68; the air humidified with all foreign od ors extracted; the light diffused; the color of the walls a pleasing neutral blue-green; the room soundproofed. To get the best reflection of colors, the table top is pure white. The glasses are thin-walled, tulip-shaped, narrower at the mouth than the base to concentrate the frag rance of the wines. Tasting Sessions Tasting sessions are always just before lunch and late after noons when appetite is strongest and senses most alert. Because tension, worry, party ing with overeating and over drinking, and smoking some hours before the tasting can blunt the taste, the taster must refrain from such indulgences or beg .off for that day. Even the slight argument before the tasting can drop the taster's ef ficiency tremendously. Mr. Gallo and his team begin their session by inspecting the first sample's color and clarity. These noted, they are dismissed from the mind. And well that they do: taste sensations are af fected by colors. Next, the men swirl the wine about in the glass to release its aromatic components and they inhale its fragrance. Brifely, be cause nerve endings fatigue quickly. With concentration, they can recover within 30 sec onds. After nosing the wine, the tasters taste it allowing just a little to rest in the mouth and bathe their 9,000-plus taste buds on the tongue. Then they draw air in over the liquid to vaporize the more elusive aromas. Finaly- ly, the men let a drop or two trickle down the throat no more, to catch the throat sensa tions. To swallow more would affect the taste of the next wine. To rest taste buds, they wait at least two minutes between sam plings. Then the mouth is rinsed with water and they are ready for the next samplings.

"I could hear the audience whisphering 'that's her, but she doesn't look like her mother. And she doesn't sound like her.' " "I was torn apart with fright and complexes. And when the critics 'saw me they said the talent in the Barrymore family had come to a stop with Ethel. John and Lionel. There were times when I wanted to die. "Of course, Mother was won derful. She tried to protect me from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. She could buck up my courage, but, you know, she couldn't play my parts for me." However, being a Barrymore did have one advantage. "It gave me taste, it gave me standards," continued Miss Colt. "I knew what was good and what was bad. So at least when I walked out on the stage, I knew I was lousy." Eventually, she turned from acting to singing. Five years ago Miss Colt (who is Mrs. Romeo Miglietta in private life) decid ed to change her professional name to shake off the burden of her Barrymore handle. , "I became Louisa Kinlock," she said, "and suddenly, my whole carreer began to open up. In fact, since Louisa Kinlock, I've done over 500 opera and concert dates. I think that pretty well proves that as Emma Schultz I probably would have done well much earlier without the heartbreak. "In fact, I proved it so well to myself and got so much confi dence from Louisa Kinlock that I gave up the name a couple of years ago. I feel that now I'm pretty much accepted for myself." Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- AN ENGLISH STAR flew to New York for his first visit to America and opened on Broadway that very evening. The critics threw their hats in the air both for him and his play. The next day a reporter asked him to tell her his first reactions to America. "It's a wonderful and in spiring country," he en thused, then added, "of course, all I've seen so far are my reviews." On his first visit to Eng land, Will Rogers was be sieged by newspapermen for his impressions of the Lon don scene. "There's one thing I discovered mighty fast," drawled Rogers, "and that's why England is a tea-drinking nation. This morning I tasted your coffee!"
