The group will gather at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the temple for its first meeting of the fall term.

Charmion Sorenson will preside as acting honored queen. From 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday members of the bethel will attend a joint swimming party with Fruitvale Chapter of DeMplay at Castle-mont PooL CECELIA SHRINE, Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, will hold a stated meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Madison Street Temple.

William Meigs is chairman for the evening. NOVA DIES Chapter No. 544, Order of the Eastern Star, has made final plans for the matron, patron and officers' annual f- I A I in "Maya" aets. too. Another; better i reason jfor 1950V importance to Barnes is that it was then he married his attractive wife, Betty.

They now have a 6-month-old boy. Perhaps the first thing that anyone meeting RayFord Barnes for the first time says is: "Do you know you look and act like Richard Widmark? We, too, asked him this and found that i we were about the thousandth person to have so commented. Yes, he does iff just one of those curious coincidences. He's never met Wdmark; would, of to "just ee if people are right aboui the resemblance." At the i very least, Barnes would like to get a chance on film in a featured part to demonstrate that, although he may resemble Widmark, his acting technique and portrayals are his own. Fans Owe Actor Nothing, He Says HOLLYWOOD, Aug.

11. What does the public owe a screen star? "Nothing," says movie tough guy Kirk Douglas, "except courtesy and understanding!" "People certainly don't owe us loyalty," he adds. "In this tusi- ness you can fade fast. One minute you're up, the next you're down. When you stop delivering one thing a good per formance you can't expect tc be remembered." But fans should understand, Douglas says, that actors rate AND HIS ORCHESTRA IVHIUIII WED.FRL SAT.

TOUR OF UVtt But though a drama career were interrupted; when World War I ge in, Barnes became a Naw Vivigator, served four and. a inaif years- It was this experience which (after his bidding adieu to the Navy in 1945) served hfh so well with the Gaace Jsndf Matson Lines.

Barnes wenf tbHollywood, met a friend ofdirctor John Ford who gave hm. letter of introduction; Forjd pit Barnes to work In 'extra rce. But Ford, as you know, flakes very few pictures, andajf fellow has to make a living between acting stints," explains Thus young Fayford ljternMed his Hollywood jobs. (Which included assignment at MGM and Universal) wit sailing or anything else that hj feJPt equipped to do while he aitld for the right break. In the laf '40s he came back to the Bayf aria, worked as a stagehand fat San Francisco's Opera Hofs'e did backstage work at the Geary and Curran, too.

"I learie! to handle lights and Sand I got a healthy respect for; all the items actors depend upon for support from the more olless invisible workers behindthe scenes," Barnes ays. IMPORTANT YEAR It was 18J0 that proved rather Important the then 29-year- old actor, iie met KODert tiey of the Repertory Theater, started, out as an apprentice with the! group, gothj Equity card, and became a fledged profes-l sional stag? actor.

When a crowd gathers at a movie location site, for instance, watchers shouldn't get angry if a star doesn't sign every autograph book in sight. "If he holds up production for half an hour signing autographs it can cost the company thousands of dollars," Douglas says. "I like to sign them, jand I like people to like But there's a time and place for everything." am is Art MORE LL DAYS! GET SEATS NOW!

Mr, Williams Is a prophet decadanct and is obviously not concerned with what happens to the moral fibrei of either dear Aunt Nellie or sweet little Cousin Soosie. Williams writes for adults and if he wants to sell a spade, iin-sists on calling it a spade. ENTIRE COMPANY -j But enough of to get back to the Olivier-Leigh engagement in New it gives promise of being something on the special side. Gilbert Miller, now in London, arranging to transport the entire company of 54 persons, which includes stage managers, understudies, and the various production trappings including a 58-foot revolving table, issued a statement through his manager, Morton Gottlieb, last week, The engagement will start jon December Id and continue for 12 weeks." The first, show Will be the show comedy. Thereafter the plays will continue to alternate.

On Wednesday and Saturdays, one "Cleo" will1 be given at the matinee; the other jat night, so that serious students can make their comparison of the texts. Mr. Gottlieb, is quite a man for figure (financial tot feminine) points out that the production will probably be the most costly of next season, will have the operating expenses; of musical, and must amortize a $65,000 produion cost in just 12 weeks. Tre play-roll, estimates will be twice as much as "The King and This last statement I seriously doubt unless there has been a considerable tilt in the acting fees paid English performers, but that's the Gottlieb story; It was this matter of costs, he said, that made it imperative to se-eure a musical comedy theater like the Ziegfeld for the show since seating capacity is necessary and stage space must be supplied. DOUBLE USE While the plays will have different scenery for the most part, several sets will be used in both, a little matter of economy worked out by Michael Benthall tha director who couldn't set any reason why the Homan galley and the Sphinx aets could not be used for Shaw and Shakespeare.

And why not, pray. From Miller's point of view, the futuft looks rosy. Before the first advertisement was printed his office received, by mail, 1500 requests for seats with an average of four tickets, many enclosing blank checks, many from schools asking seats for entire drama classes.

But doubling in brass is not especially new to Oaklander Ray-Ford Barnes. His experiences vary all the way from running a sports radio program back in San Antonio to sailing the Far East route on the Matson Line, with' breaks in-between for coffee growing in Mexico an 1 engaging in the import export business in Hong Kong. This rather diverse background might give you the impression that Barnes is a devil-may-care gentleman out for adventure. Actually he's an extremely serious student of stage and- stage techniques, an actor who has devoted a considerable portion of his time to improving his knowledge of the theater and its people, and Who explains all his "adventuresome" past by saying: "I had to make a living, you know." TEXAS-BORN Barnes came to Oakland some 10 years ago from Texas. Born in Dallas, educated in both San Antonio and Dallas, he later became a journalism major at the University of Texas, but found almost immediately that his main Interest was in the theater.

He joined the Little Theater at Dallas and at San Antonio, later appeared at Pasadena's Community Playhouse. At college, of course, he took part in several shows. "As I recall, productions varied from reek tragedy to items like The Maltese 'Claudia and The Henry Aldridge Series' and then Shakespearean plays. I appeared in Taming of the Shrew' and 'Hamlet' and naturally, like the students at U.C. of us had to do backstage work shift scenes, paint flats, etc." All during his radio stint at KTSA and WOAI, while he alternately spun records for a platter parade and excitedly gave football scores, Barnes me off RIMMER JORDAN PONTIAC ltJ7 14Hi 1, C.lil.

Skating Bear Born Of Gasoline Shortage Inky-Dinky, the comic, kat-ing bear, which is now indispensable to Shipstads and Johnson Ice Follies productions, was born of the gasoline shbrt-, age of World War II. Inside the black bearskin is Montel Phillips who started skating because she couldn't get gas to take, her from her home in Pasadena to Hollywood to continue her ballet lessons.

To keep in trim, she tried skating at the rink near her home. In no time her ballet talent was translated into, ska t-ing figures which landed her a contract with Ice Follies, and a short period later, stardom! Inky Dinky is currently star ring with the Scotvold Twins in the Ice Follies of 1951 feature "Baker's Treat," and has Winterland audiences in gales of laughter with the cjomic antics which actually require' brilliant skating technique to perform. The little skating bear has become so popular that small replicas have been made of it for charms and lapel decora tions.
