Acting Is Educational, 'Anastasia' Star Asserts
"Acting is just about the most educational profession," said Miss Viveca Lindfors, Swedish-born stage, screen and television actress.
Miss Lindfors, Eugenie Leonto vich and the cast of "Anastasia were guests of honor Monday at tea given by the University Thea tre.
"When an actor is portraying a character, he reads all he can about that character." Miss Lind-fors said. "In order to take the role of Anastasia I read many books about princesses, I learned how a princess should act, and how her upbringing affects her conduct. I even read books on Russian history to get a better feeling of Anastasia's character."
"I think Americans should speak their own English," she said while discussing drama. "A British accent assumed by a non-British sounds very much out of place."
"Yes, that is why it is an educational profession," the actress replied.
Miss Lindfors said that no matter how many times an actor plays the same role he is always learning something new about it.
One student interrupted at this point saying that actors would soon be learned if their roles demanded such extensive reading.
"I played in 'Anastasia' for nine months on Broadway, and almost every day I discovered something new in the part, points that could be improved," she said. "And you know, if you give a brilliant afternoon performance, you can never equal it at the night one. You need a good night's sleep after being on the stage for several hours."
And does she like television better than the stage?
"Certainly not!" was Miss Lindfors's emphatic reply. "But I do prefer it to making movies."

The bus line's decision followed swiftly Monday's Supreme Court decision to leave standing a lower court decision in South Carolina which upheld integrated buses on intrastate routes.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UP)—A bus company suffering the financial strains of a long boycott by Negro passengers today defied local law and custom to abandon segregated seating regulations in compliance with a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
The Rev. Martin Luther King, the boycott leader, said no decision to end the boycott will be reached until it is ratified by the city's Negroes in a mass meeting, tentatively set for Thursday night.
Bus Line Ends Segregation
The action defied a state criminal law that requires Negroes to sit in the rear of public transportation vehicles.
4 Israeli Civilians Killed In Ambush
JERUSALEM (Israeli Sector) (UP)—Four Israeli civilians were killed when their car was ambushed near the Jordan frontier, an Israeli military spokesman announced today.
Israeli army and police forces rushed to the area and an Israeli source said it was believed the ambush was carried out by Jordanian infiltrators.
Israeli circles in Jerusalem charged immediately that the attack was carried out by the "Fedayeen" or Arab "suicide commandos" and "remotely controlled" by Egypt in contravention of the cease fire agreement.

Psychiatric examinations to find out why the calm, bespectacled child, Robert Curgenven, wiped out his family at his Mansfield, Conn., home were begun Monday.

The hospital said Robert will attend his family's funeral service today at the Mansfield Baptist Church. Robert's father had been collecting rags to help raise money for a new church organ. Church officials said the organ may be installed in time for the afternoon funeral service.
