It the first tinie since 1937 public has seen or heard stuck with play- only him for the rest of my “Two whole generations have up knowing me as nothing but Dr. Christian. Yet I have played in over 400 pictures and done every kind of a role, includ- ing many heavies.”” He'll be no heavy in this one. He plays Miss Lindfors’ father, a stub- born Swede who is a frontier farmer. I visited him at this Beverly Hills home, where he has lived for almost 30 years. He looked the same as ever, except that he had grown sideburns and a brush veland, Ohio. The latter two men are re-elected trustees, Merry Marital Muddle Makes Witty Comedy Paramount's “Darling, How Could You!” is a fresh, fast-paced comedy that will earn a barrage of laughs from opening-<day audi- | © ences tonight at the Islander Theatre. Starring Joan Fontaine, John Lund, Mona Freeman and Peter Hanson, this neatly perform- ed howler deals with an adoles- cent miss who tries to give Moth- er an education in the ways of the world, Parents Joan Fontaine and John Lund are catapulted into an up- Toarious succession of events when daughter Mona Freeman decides to right an imagined domestic wrong. It seems that while Mom and Dad have been on an extend- ed stay in Panama, Mona has been avidly attending dramas of ro- mantic intrigue. Applying her new “knowledge,” of illicit love, she wrongly concludes that her attractive mother is keeping com- pany with a handsome young doctor. Colorful assortment of charac- ters dress up this cleverly con- centration of an adolescent running amok in a grown-ups’ wor- ld. Racy dialogue adds punch to the spirited proceedings, and di- rector Mitchell Leisen has kept the ‘buoyant fun rolling along at top speed. Joan Fontaine is perfect as the mothre who innocently ocasions a merry marital muddle. As the dis- tracted father coping with a con- niving daughter, John Lund is pro- perly perplexed, while Mona Free- maz is pert and funny as the prime mustache for. his film role. He re- laxed in his upstairs study, a room laden with medals and trophies, in- cluding three honorary Oscars and awards from foreign countries. “I have no beef with Dr. Christian,” he said, puffing on a pipe. “He has been very good to me. I was on radio every week, summer and winter, 18 years with the same sponsor; I don’t believe any other show can match that record.” I asked him if Jean Hersholt and Paul Christian are the same son. avee “I don’t like to think so,” he replied thoughtfully. “I like to think I have an identity of my own. That’s one of the reasons I am doing this picture. I want to prove that I can do something else.” That doesn’t mean he’s abandon- ing the Doc. The show has gone off radio for the present. But Hersholt has made a pilot film for a TV series, and he may get active in that medium. Duck Hatches Costly Brood SEAFORD, N.Y. —A mallard duck is hatching a nest of seven eggs in this Long Island commu- nity at a cost of $300 a day. Builder Louis Hirsch, who is putting up 96 new homes here, is losing some $300 a day because he ordered a bulldozer driver not to uproot the tree where the nest is until the eggs are hatched. It takes about 26 days for a mal- lard egg to hatch, but Hirsch thinks he saw a crack in one of the eggs and hopes the mother mallard is near the end of her sitting. “I’m not sure,” he said, “how long I can afford to wait for her to become a mother.” U. S. farm exports in: January, 1954 were valued at 205 million mover in a harmless, hilarious ecandal. dollars, about 24 per cent below those of the previous January.
