PAGE 12 THE SUN, BALTIMORE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1944 -cri 1 I imv it mil mJh Wit cv I- MRS. GEORGE W. DEXTER 5TH Before her marriage Saturday in St. David's Protestant Episcopal Church, Mrs. Dexter was Miss Patricia Ruth Stockum, a debutante of this season.

Society Mr. and Mhs. Edward W. Brown will entertain at cocktails Saturday after the Notre Dame-Navy football game. This party was to have been given after the Duke-Navy game several weeks ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. Abell 2d will entertain at a house party of out-of-town guests for their debutante daughter, Miss Elizabeth Andre Abell, in connection with the Christmas ball to be given December 23 at the Hotel Belvedere. Mrs.

Francis R. Cross will be hostess to her bridge club Friday afternoon. "I Love A Soldier" By Donald Kirkley To be married in wartime or to wait until the peace that question is brought up once more in "I Love a Soldier," at Keiths Theater. It is treated in serio-comic vein, veering from slapstick to muggy sentimentality without much warning. The script has little to offer in the way of solid advice to lovelorn ladies with sweet- hearts in the armed forces, and the plot tends to get off the track at intervals.

Like most of the photoplays on the subject, it roots for quick and easy marriage, with no more than superficial good looks for a basis. Stars In Cast The film must rely, therefore, on the personalities of the 'stars," Pa'uletfe Goddard and Sonny Tufts, and on contributory performances by Barry Fitzgerald stuck in as a delightful afterthought as -the jolly driver of a San Francisco-cable car), Mary Treen and Walter Sande. Miss Goddard is a war worker who likes to be nice to soldiers, but tries hard not to fall in love with, one of them. One look at Mr. Tufts, a hero home on leave, and romance begins to displace reason.

When they are playing around in cabarets and seashore resorts with their friends, Miss Treen and Mr. Sande, the picture is quite gay and amusing; when they settle down to arguments pro and con, they talk too much. Also there is a needless, bothersome complication in the fact that the soldier-hero has one wife already back East, from whom he is trying to get a divorce. Old Gag Involved This problem eventually causes the abandonment of the film's original thesis in favor of a new version of a very old theatrical gag. That is the one in which a young couple share an apartment platonically, pretending to be married, and being naturally misunderstood by many people.

The apartment is in the attic of an overcrowded boarding house near the camp to which Mr. Tufts has been assigned. Here he spends his evenings in pseudo-domesticity, leaving at 11 P. M. to report back to barracks.

This goes on until the nasty, profiteering landlady finds out about the surplus wife, and snitches to the military police. We then have an unexpected and altogether phony scene in which Miss Goddard is expelled from the vicinity in the company of a number of ladies of shady reputation. These Hollywood people do get themselves into the strangest situations. Good Taste Today By Emily Post I know that I have written quite often on the why of the rudeness of the hostess who has herself served before any woman guest at her table, but I had no idea how violent was my attitude until this letter arrived: Whatever can have happened, Mrs. Post? Kot a word have you said since I don't know on the subject of your long-held belief that the hostess who serves herself first is rude? In the community to which we have lately moved, this "rude" custom is their so I'm wondering what would you do were you in my place? Would you copy their rudeness thumbing your nose at yovrself or would you hold on to your own idea of politeness and be thought high-hat? Answering both questions in one I'd be sorry to seem high-hat, but I'd much rather seem that, than do what I know to be rude.

Good Morning! BY THE BENTZTOWN BARD (Folger McKinsey) It was only a glad "Good Morning" As she passed along the way, But it spread the morning's glory Over the livelong day! Carlotta Perry. AUNT HATT The old mother had died and the father was ill And the girls were so utterly helpless Then Aunt Hatt came along, just for a while. Just on a little visit. But they were her sister's children And she saw what things meant to them And how things were going, And so she took over took over Practically everything, the house. The buying of supplies, arranging of meals.

The straightening out of difficulties. The building up of system and order And the solving of their problems. Sunny and stalwart, firm and wise, Out of confusions and jealousies And little personal meannesses She built up a home in which love centered And they were glad to admit as the years rolled on That they'd never been able to get along Without Aunt Hatt.

Fried Chicken's All Right If They Art The Right Kind Of Chickens Dear Bard Chief Potato-Peeler Deute is my friend and superior in the d'Escoffier Society, but I must agree he is all wrong on that fried chicken business. Heavy breading and deep frying require the most skillful handling by an expert chef. Very few lay cooks have the patience and perception to get the fat hot enough to do the job right. Chicken isn't the only morsel subjected to this brutal treatment by amateurs. Have you ever seen some of the soft-crab concoctions hereabouts? At any rate, he called it "Virginia Fried Chicken" instead of "A La Maryland," which would mean a haphazard edition of a blob of gooey "cream sauce" and a so-called corn fritter.

Keep up the good fight for de-ketchuped oysters and unadorned chicken and crabs. Droolingly, Howard A. Burman. Baltimore, Oct. 26.

a cXndle in the window For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians ii, 9-10-11. A Mass Production Failure The question of fried chicken which is discussed so interestingly in the letter I have printed above is one that can be easily settled by a consideration not of the manner in which the chickens are cooked but of the kind of chickens they are and the way they are produced.

Nearly all the fried chicken you get nowadays is mass-production chicken, hatched out by the thousands in vast brooder houses and raised practically by machinery, ing in chickens that have no flavor, no nutritive value and no appeal to the taste, however cooked. It is only the old-time home-raised chickens which go around following the mother hen, fed on the food of the country home and housed in old-time chicken houses that are really fit to eat. Who's Coming? Who's coming, eh? Coming today? Walking right in And sitting down? Miss November, With bright eyes shining, Cheeks aglow, And no repining And so much to remember. B. B.

It was performed by Miss Graham and May O'Donnell, and mimed the scene of a lady awaiting a mysterious destiny, with some thread of continuity and some moon-shot symbolism.

Third came a new score, "Appalachian Spring," by the American composer, Aaron Copland, the most flowing and literate of the three. Perhaps his juxtaposition with the two preceding scores gave Mr. Copland's measures their oddly lyric impression. The music was reminiscent of his "Lincoln Portrait" which was widely played last season. From Mountaineer Life Miss Graham had composed a scenario laid beside a partly built mountain cabin, ani peopled it with a pioneer woman, a revivalist with his followers, a sturdy husbandman and herself as the bride.

The action translated into movement a conventional dramatic episode in mountaineer life, ending on a note of hope and confidence. The small company of dancers included Erick Hawkins and Merce Cunningham, with Miss O'Donnell, Pearl Lang, Nina Fonaroff, Miss Yuriko and Mar-jorie Mazia. It was a well-trained group, extremely cohesive, alert, and had the quality of precision without the appearance of performing a stale routine. Louis Horst conducted the orchestra. Previous programs of the Coolidge Festival had presented chamber music by the Stradi-varius Quartet with several soloists, and by Alexander Schneider, violist, and Ralph Kirk-patrick, harpsichordist.

By Robert B. Washington, Oct. 31 Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, patron saint of chamber music in America, was honored on the occasion of her 80th birthday last night in the auditorium she built for the Library of Congress two decades ago, with the performance of three new modern choreographies to three new modern music scores commissioned by the Coolidge Foundation. The program closed a three-day festival of chamber music held annually under sponsorship of the foundation she created to foster fine music.

Archibald MacLeish, librarian of Congress, presented her with a manuscript which he explained was a "declaration of public gratitude," signed by President Roosevelt and by officers of the Government associated with the library. Praise For Artist No American patron of the arts, Mr. MacLeish said, "has contributed more to the understanding of music in America, and no one has given greater encouragement to writers and performers of music in America than Mrs. Coolidge." The three stage works presented were modern creations by Martha Graham, the noted American dancer. The hrst, entitled "Imagined Wing," was done to a new score by the French dissonantist Darius Milhaud.

The music was in Milhaud's characteristic vein, in which dynamics of sound are a primary consideration, and the harmonic qualities of sound only secondary. The scenario for the stage action called for a prompter, Angela Kennedy, and a single-unit adaptation of the Greek chorus idea in the person of a dancer named Yuriko. The symbolism was somewhat vague, the action episodic. Second And Third Scores The second choreography was "Mirror Before Me," performed to a new and unexpected conventional score by Paul Hinde- Price 10 cents in 8728 com Address orders lO The Baltimore Sun Pattern Service 1150 SIXTH AVENUE NEW YORK 19, N.

AlT EP I A tsar Ire tIei LI military wedding would be so romantic, or because they couldn't say "no" to the scared and homesick lads who were starting off to defend their country, or because Johnny's uniform and brass buttons gave him a glamor he had never had before. And, also like you, thousands of these war brides have found out that with Johnny out of sight he is out of mind and out of heart. Their little flicker of love died out for want of something to feed on.

They got tired of sitting at home knitting sweaters and, writing letters to men to whom they had really nothing to say, and posing as anxious wives. Raises War Problem They wanted to be girls again, free and unfettered, and to go about and have good times. And many of them, without intending it or desiring it, fell in love with other men with whom they knew they could be happy as they never could with the men to whom they were married. All of this raises a war problem that no board of strategists knows how to handle. Shall these young wives who have suffered a change of heart tell their husbands of it now, or wait until they come home to impart the bad news? It seems cruel to add one more sorrow to the men who are already enduring all the agonies of war.

But, on the other hand, is it not even more unkind to let a man go on nursing a dream that can never be realized and loving and trusting a wife who has been faithless to him? We can but shed a tear at the thought of GI Joe getting a letter in which his war 'bride asks for a divorce, but the picture is not quite so gloomy as it seems, for perhaps GI regrets his hasty marriage just as much as his girl wife does and is just as anxious to be free. Personality Defined Dear Miss Dix What is personality? Tom and Bob. Answer Personality is the little intangible something about each of us that makes us different from anyone else in the world. And it is either our greatest blessing or our greatest curse. Dear Miss Dix I married a boy I didn't really love because he was going overseas, end he was in love with me and I felt sorry for him and didn't want to hurt him.

But I find it was a great mistake because 1 am not the type of girl to settle down with one boy. I am too fickle. I like to have many dates and to go around and have a good time, and being married cramps my style. What must I do? Must I hurt him by getting a divorce and free myself now? Or must I wait until after the war to tell him that I want to be rid of him? Or must I spend the balance of my life with a husband I don't care for and who bores me to tears? G. E.

H. Today's Common Mistake Answer Many thousands of other young girls, carried away with war hysteria, made the same tragic mistake that you did of marrying boys for whom they had no real affection just because all the other girls were doing it, or because it seemed patriotic to be a soldier's wife, or because they thought a 7 1 To pound down. 2 Sandarac tree. 3 Punctuation mark. 4 Vipers.
