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. The parent

can see no real security for
the child. 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."

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.

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.

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. Pepper is still valu
able in commercial food proc

fect on meats.

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."

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.
