Coloratura Canary Makes Good Stops Singing For Her Supper
Washington (U.P.)—Just a few months ago, Sari Barabas was playing canary for her supper in GI service clubs in Germany.
Today, she's in America—an established coloratura soprano. And if she doesn't take in at least $50,000 in "take home" pay a ye t will be her own fault. She has the offers.
The pretty blonde Hungarian singer is a displaced person. She was discovered by Horace Heidt last spring when he was making a tour of Europe in search of talent for his radio show, "Original Youth Opportunity."
Heidt asked Sari if she wanted to come to America. She didn't hesitate.
Sari's story is a little fantastic.
The young lady recently competed in the national finals of the Heidt contest. She won second place.
The master of ceremonies almost dropped his baton. Before long, Sari joined the troupe in Paris. She has been wowing audiences ever since.
Sao's story is a note夹穗. The personable blonde was scared to pieces when a Heidt scout suggested an audition in Berlin. She sang the "Queen of the Night" aria from Mozart's "Magic Flute."
It's wonderful," she said in very passable English, "to go from one state to another and not to be
stopped for passports—or to have to change currency half a dozen times. Not one policeman stopped me, either."
Sari was born in Budapest, the daughter of an industrialist. She started out to be a dancer, but developed a "charley horse," and began singing when she was 16. World War II interrupted her career, but right now she has no worries.
The San Francisco opera is after her. The movies have offered her contracts. She is now under a flexible two year contract with Heidt.
"What makes me happiest, though," Sari said, "is that I have applied for American citizenship and one day will be a citizen.
"My second ambition is to appear before the president of the United States to thank him with 'God Bless America.'"
**Hollywood**—(U.P.)—When most men look at Shelley Winters they hink "Wow!" Don Loper thinks "plaid taffeta."
He Sees A Glamour Gal And Thinks: 'Plaid Taffeta' Or 'Black-Velvet' Eyes
"It's bright and crisp and you can hear it coming," he said. "Like four-alarm fire. That's Shelley."
And this is Loper. When he looks at a movie beauty all he sees is the fabric she reminds him of, a talent few men would envy.
But to Loper a glamor girl is a "material" thing and he makes a good living with this theory. When Lana Turner hired him to make her wedding gown, he dived for a bolt of champagne satin, and she paid him a pretty penny for the compliment.
If Lana has a champagne chassis, Margaret Whiting is the "lady with the red-satin voice."
"It sparkles and so does Maggie's voice," Loper said. "If used right, red satin is the greatest come-on in the world—and Maggie knows what's right."
Jayne Meadows has "black velvet eyes," according to our man Loper. And for Shirley Temple, he sees baby bunting—soft and cuddly and warm.
Maureen O'Hara strikes most gents as a red-headed siren. To Loper, she's a girl with "cashmere hair."
"Jane Greer is champagne lace. It's dignified-like Jane."
"Marie Wilson is moire ribbon," Loper adds. "Decorative but scanty wrapping for a cellophane package."
Ann Sothern widens eyes of most men. Loper's yardage-good peppers see her as white chiffon.
June Alllyson is chintz.
And there's one famous beauty who reminds him wistfully of blue serge.
"Tallulah Bankhead," Loper said. "I know she'd never wear it—but it's the only thing I can think of that would quiet her down."
Only Woman Network Television Producer Says Work Behind Camera Fascinates
Captain Jancie graduated from the University of Kansas in the summer of 1949 with an A.B. degree in sociology. She served as a W.A.C. officer during World War II from 1942 until 1946. A reserve officer, she was recalled into service when the Korean war broke out.
University women seniors who will graduate in June are eligible for the army's college graduate officer's training program.
New York—(U,P) The pretty young things struggling to get on television screens should take a look behind the cameras, according to Caroline Burke, only woman network television producer.
Capt. Joan G. Jancie, screening officer for Kansas applicants, aws at the University Thursday to interview women. She said the qualifications called for graduates between the ages of 21 and 27, unmarried, with no dependents under 18, and in good physical condition.
"In many ways I think women are better suited to this business of producing than men," she said. "We have ways of getting rid of our frustrations and anxieties by just getting good and mad or"—here she gestured toward a glass full of pencils on her desk—"by something silly like breaking pencils."
Masek-Varenhorst Engagement Told

Mausolf-Ochs Pinning
Mrs. Ray Robinett, of LaCrosse, announces the engagement of her daughter, Jeanne Masek, to Mr. Glenn Varenhorst, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Varenhorst, of Conway Springs.
Miss Burke is a fragile-looking brunette beauty of 34. While male TV producers get ulcers worrying about last-minute rehearsals, she quietly breaks pencils.
Mrs. Thomas A. Clark, Alpha Delta Pi housemother, read a telegram announcing the pinning at dinner January 4. Mrs. Clark was presented an azalea plant.
Mr. Ochs of Russell is a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Springs Miss Masek is a College senior Mr. Varenhorst is a graduate student.
Alpha Delta Pi sorority announces the pinning of Delores Mausoff, College junior, to Mr. Kenneth P. Ochs, business junior.
Caroline is a co-producer of an educational show called "Watch the
World," and is planning a daytime serial and a daytime women's show which will go on the network after the first of the year. She is no newcomer to the producing field, even though she says she constantly brings startled looks to sponsors' faces.
But back in 1939, when people really were getting in on the ground floor of television, Caroline, at the ripe old age of 23, left her job teaching art education at Reed college in Portland, Ore., and announced to N.B.C. officials that she had certain ideas about cultural programs for television. They hired her.
Car Theft Excused When Stork Wants A Quick Trip
"Ive learned to do everything... cut, direct, produce, splice, bloop..." She explained that bloop meant counting the film feet and advising the writer how many words he could use.
"Everything went fine for a couple of years until I went skiing for two weeks one winter and came back to find there was no more television," Caroline said.
And if any budding actress thinks it would be less glamorous to switch to the producing side of the cameras, she should just ask permission to go into the lady producer's office at the National Broadcasting company.
St. Louis—(U.P.)—When Edwin E. Stevens started out to take an evening ride in his car, he found it had disappeared. Neighbors said someone had driven the car off a few minutes earlier.
"Sponsors seem to feel more at ease if a man produces their show," she confessed.
The next morning Stevens found his car parked where he had left it the night before.
Waltham, Mass.—(U.P.)—The wallpaper in Arthur J. Murphy's attic room, consisting of Civil War scenes and cartoons clipped from newspapers of the 1860s, has lasted nearly 90 years.
War News Covers Walls
A note on the driver's seat cleared up the mystery. It read:
"Dear Sir: Thanks for the use of your car. My wife was going to have a baby, and we couldn't get a taxi. I replaced the gas. It was a boy, seven pounds, six ounces. Thanks again. (Signed) Mr. X."
Stevens said he wouldn't even think of pressin prosecution if the man is identified, but that he would like a cigar.
