Despite the fact that tive Activity affected the legisla- lives and interests of the reople, most | folks were indifferent to what went on in Tallahassee’s legisla- tive halls. Only private inter- political groups and self-seekers made~any effort to keep tab on activities and influence action. By and large, it was “just anothér legislature’. Nothing very startling, either good or bad, ‘was accomplished.

Even if she is sweet and whole: | some, bright and witty, pretty as| a cover girl, well mannered in a way that didn’t come out of a book of etiquette or a studio drama coach’s book of rules, you'd better watch your step. No- body wants to be a “nice girl.” dl 000 Laraine Day, a nice now, is girl. She’s sweet and wholesome, | bright and witty, pretty, well-! mannered, and all the rest. She} is a hard worker, full of verve and | spirit, and she has a glow about her. She is genuinely friendly, sincerely interested in other people. She used to run her own private little theater just to give amateur actors a chance to act. Now she works hard in a little theater in Brentwood—to help out a cause. Sie’s just nice. And so—she doomed. “T haven't any glamor,” she laughs ruefully, “I'll always play and rh never get a real chance to act.” This is how it works. David! Hempstead, producing Lucky,” needed a society girl type | —with “authority and breeding” | —to play opposite Cary Grant. “Mr. Lucky,” he called in Laraine } | Day. “This character of the nurs have authority and breeding,” he added in effect. Laraine will be “it,” even though she has been what most folks had hoped for. | fleeing the role of nurse for years. Blame for this falls solely on the | Senate for its consistent failure to concur with the House, from which most really constructive and forceful legislation came | Senate amendments, weakened House measures and checked| every_effort to establish intelli- gent-and worthwhile labor regu- latory’ laws. Mindful of the fact tnat “old folks” will in all probability dominate coming elections, with the youth of the nation away: at the front, lawmakers, thinking of| opportunity | re-eléttion, lost no to give voice to their desire to do sémething for those in the “sunset of life”. It is doubtful if any legislature had more to say about the old- sters “and at the me time did less. While old age pensions may. be slightly increased from cig- arette tax money, there is a question whether or not returns will be as large as anticipated. School teachers fared no bet- ter and while several were made to provide money for them, indications are they, too, will have to content with laudatory expres-| sions. rather than increased pay checks. While not one woman in thougand evidenced any cern one way or another regard- ing the effort of Representativ Mary .Lou Baker to enact a bill giving married women equal) rights. with men in_ handling property and making contracts, the “Lady from Pinellas” finally was --victorious after long drawn out struggle. There is a strong division of opinidh over the merits of the bill, which permits women to} sue aNd be sued and makes} them free dealers. “About all it does,” stated one lawmaker, “is a put her at the mercy of the Ful-| ler Brush man.” On the other hand, Mary Lou terms it most constructive legislation in| a decade”—so We shall wait and see.

She says she wanted the ex- perience of working for Mr. De- Mille, | 000 Laraine spent nine years in lit- tle theater training, beginning | when she was 10, to learn how to act. She knows, and she projects jin every performance a sincerity like a searchlight. But the juicy roles—the roles of girls who aren’t | Perfect ladies—stay away from} j her door. “But you play the kind of girl the boys all want to marry,” I try to console her. | - Her eyes twinkle. role their MOTHERS want them }to marry*” (Ry Assocl. ted Press) CAMP POLK, La.
