Last September the father had the boy baptized into the Roman Catholic church, but the judge said this was done without the mother’s consent. The justice added that since the boy is not old enough, to reason for himself, The Jewish circum- cision, which took place first, must take precedence over the baptism. Panken’s ruling was, in effect, a decision against the boy’s father, John Glavis, 50, who had sought to have the child removed from a Jewish foster home. Glavis is a member of the Greek Catholic church, which recognized the Pope in Rome as the head of Christendom. His wife Gertrude, Mat. 2 & 4:06 Night 6:12 & 8:18 AIR CONDITIONED Sun. - Mon. - Tues.

The father started the current action after the.court last January found him guilty of neglect and ordered the child sent to a foster home. New York state law provides that the court must determine a child’s religion before selecting a foster home. Panken said the father in January declared he considered the boy. Jewish. The judge added that Glavis did not mention the baptism until he pe- titioned to have Dennis removed from the foster home. Panken said the mother was in a hospital at the time of the bap- tism and still was ill when her father brought the neglect case into court in January. The judge said she is now out of the hospital and will be given custody of the child providing she is financially able to care for him. “Call Me Madam” Is Hit Movie Now Shewing At Strand “Call Me Madam,” 20th Cen- tury-Fox’s sereen version of the stage hit is showing now at the Strand Theatre for a five-day run. The film has received — rave notices all over the country where it has been shown, and seems to live up to the hit precedent set by the stage version. Producer Sol. C. Siegel has turn- ed out a film that is reminiscent 0f Hollywood’s more golden days when hang the expense was the password, He was allowed a stra- tospherie budget, by presentday standards, and every foot of this film shows extravagant’ abandon in the spectacular scenes, number of singers, dancers and extras and in the lavish sets and costuming. Performances throughout are outstanding. Ethel Merman, ‘in the title role, follows through with a screen performance as good as the one she turned in on the Broad- way stage. Donald O’Connor ’ gives Miss Merman tough competition for acting honors with his song: ~and- dance part. Vera-Ellen is elegant and graceful as the princess, and George Sanders, as an idealistic diplomat, is impressive. The show's comedy content stems from the unmerciful ribbing that. the book applies to the late administration's propensity for fill- ing foreign coffers with American dollars. Irving Berlin’s music, as al- ways, adds materially to the audience's enjoyment of the movie, Stepmother Named Mother Of The Year BELLEVILLE, Ill. A step- mother who successfully reared four motherless children has been named the American Mother of 1953. The American Mothers Commit- tee selected for its annual honor Mrs. Ethlyn Wisegarver Bott, 58, marking the first time in its nearly 25 years it gave the award to a stepmother. Mrs. Bott is the wife of Dr. An- thony E. Bott of Belleville and for 20 years has been mother to his four children, two sons and two daughters. All spoke of her proudly when announcement of the honor was made in New York yesterday. At her home here, Mrs. Bott said: “I am very, very happy and very humble. The ideals which I have followed will continue to be followed. Our family really is no different from the family next door.” A national jury of prominent women, in announcing Mrs. Bott’s selection, said one testimonial in her behalf read: “Mrs. Bott has give each of the four Bott children a mother’s in- terest, love, encouragement and inspiration to become responsible citizens in the home, church and community.” When she married Dr. Bott five years after the death of his first wife, his children ranged in age from 5 to 14 years.
