They appear to want escapism—music, comedy and especially adventure. And when the public calls for such fare, the ladies are bound to suffer. Female stars have the best chance in musicals. Witness the rapid rise of Doris Kappelhoff, al- so known as Day. But the movies offer little for actresses in comedy. Very few of the great screen stars of comedy have been actresses. And the gals are generally at a loss when it comes to adventure. They can do. little but provide romantic interludes between the heroic exploits of the screen stal- warts. Yes, movies today are patterned around the male talents. But such was not. always true. The greatest. star of the silent era was a girl named Mary Pick- ford. And the top attraction of the early ’30s was another girl, Shirley Temple. In fact, that decade before the war can be consigered the heyday of the female star.

The game, in which collegiate stars from the North and the South turn professional, was rated a toss- up after the North squad’s ace fullback, Chuck Hren of North- western, hurt his foot. With four of the nation’s top Passers on the two teams, fans expected a brilliant show. Maloy of Holy Cross and Agganis of Boston College give the North its passing punch, with Bernie Flow- ers of Purdue and Ernie Stockert of UCLA on the receiving end. The South relies on the tosses of Scarbath of Maryland and Graves of Texas A & M, Their top-flight ends are Lloyd Colter- yahn of Maryland, one of Scar- bath’s favorite targets, and lanky Jack Lewis of Wake Forest. _ Until Hren’s injury made his usefulness questionable, the North squad, coached by Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns, was a touch- down favorite to even the Senior Bowl series at two-all. With Hren possibly, sidelined, Brown called on halfback Gene Gedman of Indiana to fill the full- back gap. Other North ball-luggers include Michigan State's Don Mc- of 1:48 4-5.
