Try and Stop Me

IN" A SMOKE-LADEN- room, some grim-faced gangsters,
their sleeves rolled up, were intent upon a big-stakes
poker game, when two kids suddenly appeared. "Uncle
Desmond," piped one,
Ya gotta show this cube

owners had just negotiated
sizeable loans at the local

conditions improve soon,"

I guess m have to rob a
bank."
"If conditions don't im
prove soA," snapped the '
other, "I HAVE robbed a bank."

' Bells of St. Mary's'
Fails To Warm Heart
Of Television Reviewer
By FRED DANZIG
New York (UPD Having
watched "The Bells of St.
Mary's" Tuesday night the
cockles of my heait should
be warm enough to cut into
winter fuel bills.
But it didn't work out that
way.
The 90-minute CBS-TV pro
duction put together some
engaging personalities to tell
the story of St. Mary's paro
chial school, its troubles with
a neighboring millionaire and
its faith in itself and prayer.
The troubles were many: The
millionaire played by Charles
Ruggles, was a hypochondriac
who wanted the school razed
for a parking lot; Sister Bene
dict, played by Claudette Col
bert, developed tuberculosis;
Patsy had family troubles;
Eddie couldn't fight; the
school was falling apart and,
in the idiom of. the day, one
student took a dive on a quiz.
SEEKS DIVORCE
Los Angeles-flJPD-Billy Dan
iels' third wife filed for di
vorce Tuesday charging that
the Negro singer choked and
threatened her. Mrs. Pierrette
Daniels, 27, also sought a re
straining order to prevent
Daniels, 44, from "molesting,
annoying or abusing her."
BOARD CHAIRMAN DIES
New York-flJPD-Barney Ru
ben, 74, president and board
chairman of Bond Stores, Inc.,
died Tuesday, .
Enough trouble here to last
through a full 36-episode se
ries, I'd say.
Troubles Superficial
The troubles, though many,
were really supe-ficrial. Even
the tuberculosis was a very
mild case. Prognosis: excel
lent. And the millionaire real
ly had a heart of gold. Since
his new office building was
noticeably lacking in traffic,
it was no surprise when he
donated it to the parish for a
new school.
The most genuine perform
ance of the night was turned
in by Marc Connolly, as Dr.
McKay. He had an honest, na
tural approach while the mas
terful brow wrinkler, Robert
Preston and Miss Colbert was
fine in a scene to outdo each
other. However, Miss Colbert
was fine in a scene that had
her boxing and, later, when
she learned of her ' illness.
Otherwise, she was, well
Claudette Colbert, complete
with superfluous hand-waving.
Preston's role called for
complete, believable warm
hand ingenuity. He came over
with excessive stiffness.
Rendered Obsolete
The labored mechanics of
this story have ben rendered
obsolete by time and I
thought the fundamental message-dealing
with faith re
warded could have been
twice as effective if half of
the underdeveloped sub-plots
were discarded.

puts clean water on the floor. This is a fea
ture they really liked at the Good House
keeping Institute.
SCRUBS
it thoroughly ,
- While you are wetting the floor twin 12
; inch nylon brushes- are doing the scrubbing
for you. No more laborious scrubbing or
mopping. Stiff nylon brushes on the nozzle
loosen the dirt so it can be picked up.

it possible to remove waz.) The McCall's
Test Kitchen considered this a very im
portant feature.
Vacuum
DRYS

drink's up its own scrub water leaving your
floor dry enough to wax in minutes. The
water that you vacuum up is held in a
separate "dirty water container," ifs never
mixed with the clean water in the tank.

water. The people at Parents' Magazine
thought the vacuum drying was the most
helpful feature.

the tedious scrubbing an end
to wet hands. With the new
Hoover Floor Washer you just
; fill the tank, add the floor
cleaner. Then yo wash your
floors and vacuum dry them . . .
so easily and neatly you can do
it in a party dress and
heels.
