THE OLD WALL GAME—Striped and ready for battle, the. Collegers stride onto the field at Eton,
England's famed public school, for the annual "wall game", played on St, Andrew's Day.
Their opponents ore called the ,Oppidans. No goal was scored and this was in keeping with
tradition because there hasn't been a goal since 1909. Object of the game is to work a ball
along a wall 'on the campus into one of two g qals, which are known as "gool calx" and "b,ad
calx". No one knows why they are called th is, but then the'wall game is a mystfying affair.

A bewigged British judge has
just touched my distant :and
bucolic heart with the Solornonic
decision that a wife is not cruel
if she throws dishes at her hus-
band. If she hits him, that's
cruelty. A hit husband and you're
out. But just to throw them—
that's not significent in a divorce
action; and in this particular
case he refused to grant a decree,
A judge has to keep his wits
'sharp, and this one is out to a
fine point. I have often wonder-
ed about- these dish-throwing
wives. Never, in by observant
career, have I known, firsthand,
of a wife who tossed crockery
at her-husband. It is an athletic
diversion I believe is limited to
comic strips.
It is like the rolling pin, with
which„the happy bride sits at
the front portal 'and awaits the
early • morning homecoming of
her mate. No doubt a man has,
somewhere, been hit •with a roll-
ing. pin—because a man, some-
where, has been hit by about
everything = but it' is not an
everyday haptening in the„nor-
mat conjugal arrangement.

business, since the exact time

In the 15 months that "Peyton
Place" has been in print, 4.5
million copies have been pub-
lished in hardback and paper-
bound editions. It is a startling
statistic, particularly when com-
pared with Margaret. Mitchell's
"Gone With the Witid", which
has needed 21 years to sell
5,435,000 . Apparently one out
of every 37 Americans has
bought "Peyton Place" or is
waiting for his ordered copy.
Mrs. Metalius has thus far tak-
en. $250,000 in royalteis, For the
movie rights, however, she was
paid only $70,000. The reason
for this is that Twentieth Cen-
tury-Fox was the only studio
which would touch the book, and
then only after, considerable ex-
purgation.
"When (producer) Jerry Wald
sent me the book in Europe last
year," Mark Robson, the director,
admitted recently, "I threw it
away without even- answering
him. Much later;'Wald gave me
a script that changed the book's
sensationalism into good, natur-
alistic drama and did a superla-
tive job of integration, Only be-
cause of this, I took the job.
When time came to go on loca-
tion, •C amden ((population:
3,700) was the only town in the
Northeast to extend a cordial in-
vitation to the production unit.
Gilmanton, N.H., where Mrs,
'Metalius wrote the book, near-
by Laconia, where she later
moved after separating from her
schoolteacher husb an d, and
Woodstock, Vt., considered by'
the Hollywood people as the
most typical New England town
in existence, had all been under
consideration. But each com-
munity' has had enough of "Pey-
ton Place" as soon as it was
published and was loath to co- -
operate.
Mrs. Metalius herself had.
nothing to do with the produc-
tion. "She had no sympathy at
all with the countless problems
of converting her story," Wald
said last month. "At least half
"of the book had to be dropped.
The way she kept carping, it
) sounded as if she wanted us to
do a 15-hour film."
Last week, she was back in
Gilmanton at work on her sec-
ond novel, "The Tight White
Collar". Its theme: "Man's in-
humanity to man—in' a small'
