its annual frustration With the flashiest clothing designers in the 'world and plenty of chips to buy the stuff with the movie stars have no place to show off their glad rags The studios and stars are spread out over a couple of hundred square miles of countryside and there any stretch of street where they would logically converge to form an Easter parade To remedy this deplorable situation the movie people in recent years have cooked up a synthetic Easter parade over an arbitrary mile stretch of Wflshlre boulevard one of the main drags almost in downtown Los Angeles ordinarily pretty deserted on Sunday Here the stars that have the nerve niay turn up on Easter morn with complete fancy-meetlng-you-here nonchalance ostensibly ea route to churches that dot the neighborhood but curiously coincidental witli the arrival of photographers Only a small part of Hollywood takes part in this hokum however Sunday is the only day the celluloid Idols can get much rest so most of them will stay quietly at home with! their families possibly gq to a neighborhood church and spend the rest of the day tunnelling through the Sunday papers and seeing if anything to eat in the ice box With

prepare well in advance for the task of protecting their The committee listed five instructions for parents: 1 However frightened you may feel keep outwardly calm so that the confidence in your own protectiveness will not be shaken 2 Nevercspeak of the raid in the hearing if you can avoid it Mental impressions are formed much earlier than most people realize 3 When the raid signal sounds take a shortcut to the nearest shelter If there is none nearby take the baby to the safest room in the house or to some point protested against flying splinters 4 Take garments enough to keep him warm a basket or pillow a first aid outfit a toy to amuse MENTAL CUES -AFFECT CHILD ST LOUIS Mo April 4 (Wide World) If your home Is bombed get hysterical and make mental wrecks of your children The American Committee on Maternal Welfare which will meet here next week In conjunction with the second American Congress on Obstetrics and Gynecology declared today that the attitude of the mother and father and older children is the best mental protection for a young child Children of highly impressionable years take the cue to fright or calmness from their parents or older children in bombings just as in

Miss Davis got by being pinged by Jimmy sling-shot while Miss Bruce got snapped with a rubber band in the hands of Jeffrey Lynn 1 Miss Sheridan got hers off the swift toe of Richard Whorf In the Warner Bros latest picture and because of the kick Whorf automatically caught up with such other woman beaters of the films as John Barrymore Edward Robinson Fred-ric March and Cagney This increasingly popular movie-land practice of leading men leaving their footprints on their leading women got its start seven years ago when Barrymore who claims to be an expert at such things let fly bis foot at Miss Lombard Later she suffered the same indignity from March Afterward she expressed the vagrant thought that there was something strangely appropriate about the title GEHRIG MOVIE
