The total is already over 100,000 more than the 1951 figure. Steamship passenger officials say ocean-passen- ger traffic is running about two-to-one, ships over alr- craft. Recent figures have also shown that air traffic over the Atlantic has picked up considerably, partially because of reduced rates inaugurated by most of the transatlantic air lines. Thus, both ship travel and air travel across the Atlantic has increased rapidly in 1952. Recent statistics also show an increase in travel over the Pacific and over the Mediterranean. Despite the record this year, shipping officials look for a new record in 1953, which they hope will push the Passenger total over the Atlantic to more than one mil-! lion. Factors which are likely to cause this new record if are lower air fares, which are one of the few.transporta- | tion rates which have declined in recent years, and rela- | tively stable ocean passenger fares, which have increased only slightly recently, a .

Louisa Kinlock won applause from critics. So now Ethel Barry- more Colt is taking off her disguise and invading the country’s tough- Vest musical stronghold, New York. At the rambling country home in | Mamaroneck, N.Y., where she was born, Ethel talked of the uphill jroad she -had traveled since her jstage debut with her mother in | “Scarlet Sister Mary,” when she | was in her early teens. This was | when one-critic blasted her hopes | with’ the description—‘More Colt than Barrymore” — a jibe that clung through the years. Said she: “When you have. seven genera- tions of actors behind you, people just natarally expect you to be as | wonderful as your parents and | grandparents the first time you ap- pear on a stage. If you aren't, the boos are much louder than they would be for an unknown beginner. “But an actor has to begin some- time, and the only. way is to begin on a stage.” Ethel is now Mrs. John R.

I called the hospital and was told that they required a fifty dol- Jar deposit. Since it was Sunday afternoon and I only had five bucks in my pocket, this. item kind of | j worried me. The boys at National Airlines offered me the money but I decided to stop off at Percy Trotman's on the way to the hos- pital. He not only let me have the money but went with me to see that there were no further compli- cations. We arrived at the hospital a couple of minutes after Ellis took Jimmy in at the emergency en- trance. .The business office was unusually cooperative and in prac- tically no time, Jimmy was on his way back to be prepared for his operation. z It might be well to mention here that the lady at the counter showed tact as well as understanding. Be- cause I was upset and because if there is anything in the world “I like most, it is privacy, 1. asked that they give Jimmy a private room. The office informed mé that it was an unnecessary expense and as it turned out, Jimmy enjoyed having a Mr. Yates and Mr. Davis as room partners.
