Works of the University of Chicago. Dean Works spoke at the meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges end Secondary Schools in the Stevens hotel. The government was also under the fire of William Bennet Bizzell, president of the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Bizzell charged that government employment in "artificial pursuits of an emergency relief nature constitutes a "wasteful expenditure of public funds" which could better be used to give high school students and unemployed adults vocational training.

Dean Works, who headed the association during the last year, said suggestions for federal control of educational standards have come from the Association of Chief State School Officers, the United States office of education, and the American Council on Ertuoal ion. "Any realistic observer of what has happened to higher educatiun in Germany," he declared, "cannot help but hesitate before placing all forms of higher education under direct government control." Works said that requirements for chief state school officers have not kept pace with the importance of the office. In many states, he said, a person who cannot meet the requirements for the lowest grade teacher's certificate can occupy the position of chief educational officer. In 1937 only eight states required that the chief officer be a college graduate. Dean Works also cited short terms of office and "the extent to which party politics is a factor in the choice of the officer" as arguments against federal control.

Dr. Bizzell urged the training of unemployed persons to fill the gaps in industry caused by shortages of skilled workers. Of the nation's adult population of about 32.000,-000 have less than elementary school training and 9,000,000 are unemployed, ho said. "The large marginal group which is unqualified for any kind of skilled employment is inevitably thrown out of work when industrial output is restricted," Dr. Bizzell said.

"The federal government has tried to find employment for these people, but there has been little effort to find out what they are capable of doing, or to train them along those lines." Irving Maurer, president of Beloit college, Beloit, was elected president of the association to succeed Dean Works. 5(S Lit MW i tit' tit' yffefTri7rT Billing. Margalo Gillmore noticed an ad-vertisment for Wuthcring Heights in a southern city while No Time for Comedy was on tour that billed Laurence Olivier as "Mr. Scarlett O'llara." Following that theory, quips Miss Gillmore, why not bill Olivier and Vivien Leigh in the Romeo and Juliet production that comes to the Auditorium this month "Mr. Scarlett OTIara as Romeo; Mrs.

Heathcliff as Coincidence. Laurence Olivier, who collects old theater programs and has a valuable collection of Romeo and Juliet programs, will be able to see still another one when he comes to Chicago. It was Romeo and Juliet that opened the Auditorium after the first night's dedication ceremonies in 1889, and it was Patti who appeared as Juliet that December night more than half a century ago. Private Live. The paragraph about the plat of the orchestra, giving names and positions of the musicians, that now appears in Chicago Symphony orchestra programs, brought in a letter from Marjorie DeLamarler Racine, daughter of Composer and Conductor Eric DeLamarter.

"You didn't mention, for instance, Mr. Evans, whose hobby is making very fine ivories," writes Mrs. Racine. Or Leo Ruckle, whose lovely oil paintings are shown annually at the orchestra party, and who when he retires will live on his farm and make oboe reeds. You forgot Mr.

Met-7enger, who can eat more than any man in the county, and Mr. Iloudek, who resembles very much the famous head of Beethoven. "And Carl Rink of the first violins, who goes gypsy every summer and takes a string quartet all over the country. And Fred Boos, who plays bass and tuba, and makes trunks in his spare time and can be called upon to play Santa Claus. There is Hugo Fox whose Indiana farm home is lovely he raises lambs, pine trees, and, he hopes, oil! There is Bob Mayer, the agony tuba player, or English horn to you, who has been doing a lot of fine solo oboe work; and Harold Kepper, who can play any instrument except the bassoon and can sing the whole quarte't from Rigolctto, and who knows more odd and unrelated facts about this and that than any person I know except father." COATS By Mae Tirtee.

Good Morning I didn't think they could do it! Capture the suspense, the horror, the beauty, and the strange eeriness of "Rebecca," the book. Put. they have! The screen version is subtle, electrifyingand almost as fascinating as the novel, which I 1 nought by all odds the best story I'd read in years. LDidn't As most of you know, it's the memory of Rebecca, not Rebecca herself, that is the narrative's dominating Influence. Rebecca the first Mrs.

de Winter, mistress of Manderley is dead. But the great house where she had lived is full of the unpredictable and evil woman, known by few to be that, and kept alive in the minds of all by the persistence of Mrs. Dan-vers, the housekeeper, who had been her devoted slave. To Manderley, Maxim de Winter, prominent society man, known best for his vast Tudor estate, brings a bride a wistful, colorless, sensitive, timorous girl, pathetically anxious to please all and to be happy herself. From the start Ihe is the victim of Mrs.

Danvers' quiet, vicious persecution, and as life moves on in the great house, the TRUE story of Rebecca her life and death unfolds. A story only known before In its entirety to one wretched person, the man who had been Rebecca's husband. The name of David Selznick is becoming to movies what "sterling" Is to silver. There's nothing snide about his productions! Intelligence and imagination are revealed in everything about "Rebecca," from the casting down to the delivery of the tiniest scrap of dialog. The surprise sensation of the year is Joan Fontaine's portrayal of the title role.

She takes Du Maimer's anemic little mouse of a heroine, and makes her charming and alive the while retaining the modesty, appeal, and shrinking terror of people that characterized the girl in the novel. Miss Fontaine has magnetism, beauty, and a voice that makes the heartstrings vibrate. As for Laurence Olivier he's as great a de Winter as ho was a Heathcliff. Which is certainly praise plus or I mean it for such. Judith Anderson gives a bitingly impressive performance as Mrs.

Danvers, and all other roles are beautifully handled. Scenery, gorgeous or weird, was TH H.OOU These four pretty Chicago girls were chosen to be maids of honor to the Queen of ihe Fiesta at the annual Fiesta del Sol held recently in Phoenix, Ariz.

Mrs. John V. Cr epa, vice president of the club, is Dittsburgh, April 5. As you hop-skotch thru the country a movie columnist has all manner of questions about Hollywood and its people fired at him, and one persistent question always is demand for Information about Loretta Young. "Is she as gorgeous off the screen as on the screen? "Aclunlly is she as grand a girl ns she nppoiirs to be?" Ii other words, the fans in every city want to know nil about her.

The thing that most annoys her in any man those who think it is clever lo be discourteous. The thing she most dislikes in women the hahit of some girls of wetting the end of a cigaret before lighting it, and second, the habit of some who wet their lfps with their tongues before acknowledging an introduction. I asked her once If she ever has been vindictive, or If she enjoyed getting revenge, and she answered me with an Abraham Lincoln quotation: "I destroy my enemies by making them my friends." Of the pictures she has made she prefers "Man's Castle," White Parade," and "Life Begins." The Gretchen has been in pictures 14 years of her 27. Her debut was a bit part in a picture that starred Fanny Ward and Theodore of lost causes, she has no peer in the Hollywood realm. Her favorite dish is chili end beans.

Next to that, in order of preference would come cracked crab, weiners and sauerkraut, and black-eyed beans, and hot water cornbread Isay, if you can eat that stuff and get that beautiful, I think I'll try it. Her favorite cities are Los Angeles, Rome, Italy, and Biloxl, Miss. The first song she recalls: "Mighty Lak a Rose." She remembers her mother humming It In the parlor of their house back in Utah. The songs she most prefers now: "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" and "The Angels Sing." Novelist whose books she most enjoys, Stefan Zweig. Her No.

Loretta Young is known under that tag only in the movies. Her mother and sisters call her "Gretchen." It's a happy tag for the lovely Salt Lake City person, because she looks like a Gretchen. I have never met a person whose sympathy is attracted so unerringly to the underdog: it's as natural for her to rush to the dressing room of the loser as it is natural and habitual for the rest of us to crowd into the dressing room of a winner. Habitually, she'll be found going with chaps who excited her sympathy. In other words, Loretta has a fund of loyalty that never seems overdrawn despite the withdrawals entered against it.
