The Harlow in question was famous actress Jean, a beauti- ful blonde born on March 3, 1911 to a Kansas City dentist and his wife. Named Hariean Carpentier after her mother, Jean Harlow, whose maiden - name she was later to make her own, she was destined to be- come one of Hollywood's big- gest stars and the first of its blonde bombshells. The ans- wer to Telescope's question seemed to be that the greatest cause for fuss was IrvingShul- man's best-seller, "Harlow:An Intimate Biography", written last year, and the subsequent movie which is now being made. There has been talk of making a movie about Harlow ever since her tragic death in 1937, but it wasn't until last year, when Shulman wrote the book with the help of her former agent Arthur Landau, that enough was known about her to prompt the making of a full- length motion picture. Shulman's book, which in- directly blames Hollywood for Jean's fears and unhappiness, has caused much stir, especial- ly in the film capital. I sup- pose the shoe fits and in fact, pinches a little. 1929 was the year that Landau discovered Jean and cast her in her first picture, "Hell's Angels". One glance from the public and she was a star, in every sense of the word. During the next seven years, she starred in many movies, such well-known ones as "Iron Man, "Red -Head-, ed Woman","Riff-Raff', "Suzy, " "Reckless", and a number with Clarke Gable--" The Secret Six", "Red Dust", "Wife vs. Secretary", and "Saratoga", the picture on which she was working when she became ill and died on June 7, 1937. Her life has been said to be a close parallel to that of Marilyn Mon- roe, the blonde bombshell of the 50's, who was also a vic- tim of the Hollywood buildup and who herself died tragically at an early age. The actress chosen to play the role of Jean Harlow in the current movie is Carroll Baker . She was one of the people inter- viewed nterviewed on "Telescope" last week. Helping the publicity and adding to the fuss is the scheme dreamed up by Joseph E. Levine, who is promoting the picture.

There was no- thing odd about that, except that during the seven-day jour- ney Carroll was transformed from Baker to Harlow, in a daily series of make-up tricks. After she disembarked at England as Harlow she continu- ed on aEuropean tour for the picture, which is now shooting in Hollywood. Her co-star is Peter Lawford. Despite all the fuss and all the people who claim they are sick and tired of hearing about Harlow, I pre- dict the picture will be a smash and everyone will clamor to see it, perhaps not in Holly- wood, but everywhere else. 0--0--0 The fresh new year has but made its entrance, but leave it to Hollywood. Already news, and much of it bad, has been made --the most tragic being the death of musical -comedy star Jeanette MacDonald, 57, of a heart ailment, in Houston, Texas. One of the most popu- lar movie sopranos, she became famous when she starred with Nelson Eddy in a series of pic- tures, "Naughty Marietta", "Rose Marie", "Sweethearts", and many more. Other famous roles were opposite Clarke Ga- ble in "San Francisco", with Maurice Chevalier in hit musi- cals, and a number of roles op- posite her husband of 27 years, Gene Raymond. Only last year Miss MacDonald made a guest appearance on CBC's "Flash- back" and charmed everyone with her liveliness. 0--0--0 Also in Hollywood, two di- vorces made headlines. The first was a surprise announce- ment corning from Nick Adams, who shocked even his wife when he announced, on a network television show, yet, that he and former child -star Carol Nu- gent would be divorcing after six years of marriage. Nick can always be counted on to do something different. A week later he was saying they would try to patch up their differences and reconcile. Though he is still a young kid as far as act- ing is concerned, Nick is known in Hollywood for his drive and determination to get what he wants. In fact, he would do anything for a role he wants. He used to be 'Johny Yuma' of "The Rebel"; now stars in ano- ther TV series and in a number of movies each year. Another couple have not been so agree- able as these kids. Actor Barry Sullivan, 52, and a Canadian - born starlet, Desiree Sumara, 26, have divorced after three years. But while some gals were shedding husbands, one little doll nabbed one. Annette Funi- cello, 22, former Mouseketeer and now a big star in Disney films, wed her agent, JackGil- ardi, in a big wedding in Cali- fornia.

Kitchen Important To Busy Housewife A well-planned kitchen should be brightly lighted. It should be easily accessible from the delivery entrance, usually either at the side or rear of the house. Many of the newer homes have the kitchen facing the best view, perhaps even at the front of the house. In this case, there should be a side delivery entrance. The modern kitchen is de- signed around the working area. Perhaps You Need An Extra Bathroom Older homes often have in- adequate bathroom facilities. You may want to remodel the present bathroom, or on second thought, decide on an extra bathroom or powder room. A powder room may be tucked under a flight of stairs, or if you have a home with a centre hall you may "borrow" space from the hall for a roomy bathroom. A second bath can also be tucked into a dormer. When you have decided where you want the extra room, make your plans carefully. Many bathrooms, while ade- quate in area, could be re -plan- ned to serve the family better. Make a floor plan and con- sult a plumbing contractor. He can show you any number of fixture styles in a wide range of colors. Choose fixtures suited to your floor space. Large well-placed mirrors, color -matched accessories, hid- den piping, generous size medi- cine cabinet, ample storage facilities, sufficient illumina- tion, attractive floor covering and wall finish are all desir- able features in a well-planned bathroom. Paint Colors In Book Form It is generally accepted that women's apparel is the purest and oldest form of fashion ex- pression, but there also exist many other facets of fashion of which we are not so keenly aware. One of them is home decorating. Styles of furniture, draperies and wall colors change as a re- sult of revised tastes, just as dress styles do, and once accep- ted, they are more durable. Since decorating a home can he a major expenditure, this dur- ability is a great advantage, but it also increases the impor- tance of making the right de- cision in the first place. If you make a mistake, it is" frozen" for a long period of time. Since walls make up the lar- gest color areas in a room, the selection of their colors is vital to the mood you wish to express and the background you want to create for your furnishings. To assist you at this critical stage in planning your decorating, color specialists at CIL have produced a "Masterpiece Color Guide" which contains 200 pages, each in a suggested primary wall color with two comple- mentary colors showing through cut-out windows. By flipping through the pages you can see, at a glance, the possibilities of co-ordinating your wall colors with any of the basic shades currently being shown in carpeting, textiles, up- holstery, ceramics and furniture finishes. Here the stove, sink and the refrigerator should be grouped in such a way that the kitchen work can be performed with a minimum of walking. Because the kitchen floor will get more usage than any other part of the house except, perhaps, the hallway, the floor covering should be long lasting and easy to clean. Proper ventilation is impor- tant in the kitchen, not only to draw away cooking odors and excessive heat, but also to pre- vent accumulation of moisture and resulting condensation. A ventilator over the stove is not a luxury. Ample storage facilities should be provided for food, utensils, soap and cleansers, cleaning gear, and all the use- ful household gadgets that make housework easier. A feature that the busy mo- ther appreciates is to have the kitchen located where an eye can be kept on the children's play area outside. Many older homes with in- adequate kitchens could be re- modelled, with careful plan- ning and re -grouping of equip- ment, to save walking and wasted energy. Paint that re- flects light can help to brighten the dark kitchen. GET THE JUMP ON SPRING CLEANING WHILE REMODELLING Home improvement, clean- up, paint -up, and light -up all go hand-in-hand with the com- ing of the spring season. Spring cleaning is import- ant, especially when planning various remodeling and repair jobs around the house. Home storage areas probab- ly have collected waste mater- ial during the winter months. These are unsightly and are fire hazards which should be remov- ed from the home and disposed of immediately. A good procedure to follow in cleaning out storage areas is to work in one room at a time. Clear it of old newspapers, magazines, worn-out clothing, unwanted furniture and the countless other items that col- lect in a home. Carry these materials outside and burn or leave thein for the garbage man. One way to control trash fires is to use galvanized steel rubbish burners. These contain- ers have close: -fitting covers which keep dangerous sparks from flying. C. COUNCIL APPOINTS HOSP. REPRESENTATIVES GODERICI 1 -County Council appointed John V.
