Encourage Acting" Interest In Children, Says Director By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor , New York -UPD- So you be lieve there's a potential star in your family? Encourage the youngster in his interest in acting, even if he ends up with a career in bricklaying. He will be a bet ter person for his experiment with histrionics, says Frances Fuller, actress, head of a famous school for actors, wife of a television producer, and mother of three children. "You can't study acting without learning about your self, and about other beings," said Miss Fuller. "That is where the great benefit lies. "But I can't blame a parent for having doubts.

And I guess there still are a few parents old fashioned in their outlook to ward the theater. To them I would say, "Don't worry about the class of people your youngster will be with. The finer people are the ones who make the better actors." Opportunities Good "Opportunities in the pro fession are still quite good," she continued. "There are not so many movies. But there are television and radio, in addi tion to the theater. The talent search goes right on." Miss Fuller was. graduated in the '20s from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the non-profit educational in stitution she now runs. Helen Hayes is largely responsible for her first break in the theater. Miss Hayes sent her to au dition for her husband, the late Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, for a small part in the play, "The Front Page." She not only got the part but oh the same day met the stage manager, Worthington Miner, her husband now for 30 years. The Miners have three chil dren a son, Peter, married and father of three, and now an associate director for CBS TV; two daughters, Margaret, in college, and Mary Eliza beth, who will finish high school this spring. Broadway Veteran Frances Fuller, a tiny wom an with sparkling . blue eyes and dark hair, starred in a number of movies and ap peared in several Broadway plays including "The Animal Kingdom" with Leslie How ard. Five years ago she moved over to direct the academy, which in its 75-year history has produced many names in acting from Grace George to Grace Kelley. Graduates in clude Cecil B. de Mille, How ard Lindsay, Lauren Bacall, Jane Cowl, Diafla Barrymore, Claire Trevor, Don Murray, Jason Robards Jr. and Anne Bancroft. A youngster hardly arrives just by being graduated from the academy. "I don't think that more than two or three out of each graduating class out of a starting group of 200, only an average of 20 grad uates have become stars," she said. "But others have found their field in writing or di recting." "We can detect the spark within a matter of minutes when a student auditions," she said. "There is no such thing as a star overnight. Or, if there is such a thing, then the hard work begins."

WATCH FOR PAULINE'S FA Various Stages of Aging Matter of Disagreement By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New -York -4UPD- Whatever your age, are you young, middle-aged or old? Trying to answer this ques tion makes the battle of the superiority of the sexes look like a Sunday school picnic. for even the experts can't settle on firmly drawn aging lines. Psychologists, psychiatrists, anatomists, anthropologists, physiologists, nutriti o n i s t s and even lawyers have differ ent points of view. They agree, however, that there is disagreement about what is young, middle-aged and old, since there are so many vari ables. Dr. Margaret Mead, of the Museum of Natural History, takes the view that the eyes and the times have a lot to do with how you're pegged. Your class, your occupa tion and the extent of your medical and cosmetic care," she said, "figure into how old you appear to others. "Take ' occupation as an example. People like baseball players and ballet dancers are regarded as 'old' when astronomers of the . same chronological age are 'prom ising young men.' Old Maid At 25 "Now consider 'old' as it's used in 'old maid.' Two gen erations ago, if a girl wasn't married in her thirties, she was an 'old' maid. Today the term is used to describe un married girls in their mid and late twenties." Physiologically, human de velopment and decay has five stages. First, there's infancy. It lasts until the seventh year. Between that time and age 14, there's childhood. And youth stands for the years between 14 and 21. People between 21 and 50 are adults. Old age, according to phy siologists, is everything after 50. The sands of time, from the anatomist's point of view, leave their , marks on human bodies. But the marks aren't left on the same birthday, since some people look 70 when they're 50, and vice versa. The anatomist looks at skin and considers it a more reliable index than birthdays. Young skin is pink, soft and smooth like that of infancy. Hard, 'wrinkled and coarse skin is old. A combination of the two is middle-aged skin. The anatomist also looks at hair. Thinning,' color loss and extreme dryness: Old. That is, if at the same time, hair on other . parts of the body flourishes and increases. A Part Of Living Gerontology, the science of the study of aging, mean while, holds that aging is a part of living. The least im portant changes, according to gerontologists, are wrinkles and grey hair. Behavior and brain size interest gerontologists. After 40, the brain, according to In Central Point GIFTS Nothing to buy. All you have to do is come in and register! See our New Ship ment of Spring Coats OUR MANY ANNIVERSARY theory, is somewhat smaller than it was in youth. And after age 75, it shrinks markedly. But gerontologists hold that certain attributes improve as old age sets in. Speed slows down, but endurance fre quently improves. Judgment increases, if there was intelli gence in youth. According to law, there are two main periods between cradle and grave. Infancy, ac cordingly, lasts until age 12. Everything after that is man hood or womanhood. Infancy, however, is sub divided. At 12, infants of the male variety are permitted to take the oath of allegiance. At 14, infants of both sexes are said to have arrived at the age of discretion. 4 Apricot Dessert Use dried apricots to give bright color and rich flavor to winter meals. Rinse the apricots, cover with water and cook slowly until almost ten der. Then sweeten to taste and add a little salt and a drop or two of almond extract. Sim mer until completely tender, then cool. Serve as stewed fruit or spoon over squares of warm gingerbread or spice cake. -4 Spicy Dumplings Dumplings are so good with stews of all kinds.. For a new taste treat, sift V4 teaspoon poultry seasoning in with the 2 cups of flour and other dry ingredients. This gives a gentle herb flavor. Try it and if you prefer a lit tle stronger flavor, as we do, increase the poultry season ing to 2 teaspoon. 4 Crusaders Ate Hoi Dogs History's first "hot dogs" were made during the Cru sades by grinding pepper and meat together in order to pre serve the meat on long marches.

SHIRTWAIST 5S98 and Maternity Smocks & Pedal Pushers SPECIALS FEATURED ALL SEASONS Room Decor Needs Black Punctuation Decorator Declares Chicago -IUPD- A room with out a touch of black is com- parable to a woman without eyebrows. So says Ruth .Mauerman, president of the Illinois Institute of Decora tors. "A room always needs a touch of black to punctuate it," she said. The recorator debunks the theory that every room needs a touch of red. "Avoid red un less it really fits, comple ments, or matches," she said. Just one bit of red can ruin a carefully coordinated room. Miss Mauerman's decorat ing philosophy includes stay ing away from what she called the ordinary colors, such as navy maroon and dark brown. She feels that the more subtle the color, the more exciting and useful it is in, the home. She also tries to avoid over use of the neutrals such as beige or "greige," which is a combination of gray and beige. "You can make a color like that do too much," she said. "I like to work toward a safe combination rather than be ginning with one." 4 . Wine and Dumpling To give chicken and dump lings new color and flavor, brown the chicken pieces well before making the fricassee and use sauterne or chablis wine in the sauce. Just before serving, sprinkle the dump lings with grated cheese and chopped chives or parsley.
