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.

Is That So?

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.

years ago, it was a nerve-wracking
experience just to step out
on the stage," said Miss Colt
with a sigh. "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."

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!"
A publisher in Indianapolis received an unsolicited manuscript en

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE is the way we Dodge dealers feel aboat competitors' efforts to
match the Swept-Wing 58. They lowered the roof some, but left the sides high. Their
windshields got smalW while oars got bigger. So mach far styling. Then, for another
important comparison take ride. Here's Dodge with Torsion-Aire unspmraon that just
about everybody "ffrmfai is the greatest advance in sway-free, dip-free silent going that
any car offers. So what do these other cars do? They borrow an air suspension system
that's been used in buses for two years! (Costing well over $100.00 extra.) And most of 'em
still don't have push-button driving much less Dodge TorqueFlite the proven auto
matic transmission. If you're a little disappointed in the T8 version of your car, come
on in and see our Swept-Wing 58. The others" are catching on but they can't catch up.
