After-Vacation Slump Hits Mount Oread Hard
Tuesday night. The Hill is?
Tuesday night. The quiet, and the let down after Thanksgiving vacation is general at this point. Students are studying, sleeping, or just relaxing after the four-day holiday, but they are not partying now.
Scheduled for Wednesday is the regular midweek varsity, which has always done its part in the past to lift spirits when they fell too low. Next week, however, the University's social life will swing into action with the beginning of the Christmas parties and dinners. The long line of these will continue until vacation begins, giving the students a last whirl before Christmas.
The dress pictured above belongs in any woman's wardrobe. A sheath of white rayon, with a swirling silver jacket, it promises to make the holidays even gayer.

Cases in point might be selected at random: Clark Gable, for instance was smubbqd by Hollywood's scouts because his cars were too large. Clark had to go away, return in a stage play before they could consider him. Mary Martin had nothing to offer as far as movie producers were concerned. She too had to wander far afield, make a hit on Broadway, before the films noticed her.
If a figurative pin were stuck in the midst of a glittering movie premiere it would more than likely strike some famous personality who refused to be laid low by Hollywood.

Film Capitol Called 'Heartbreak Town'
Hollywood, Dec. 3- (UP) The origin of one of the most famous geographical names in the world, Hollywood, has long since lost its meaning, but if the nature of a town means anything, this capitol of glamour should be known as "Heartbreak Town."
Hollywood has an unconscionable habit of picking them up and laying them down. The virus of Hollywood is a persistent fever and the victims always come back for more. subsequently were signed by
And this applies to others besides actors. Oscar Serlin, brilliant young Broadway producer of "Life With Father," served several sluggish terms as a producer at various major studios on minor pictures. He got tired of waiting for his long-promised break, quit Hollywood, produced his smash hit and then sat back and chuckled as the offers began pouring in from "Heartbreak Town."
Then there is the case of the two leading men in support of Ginger Rogers in "Kitty Foyle" at RKO Radio—Dennis Morgan and James Craig.
Both came to "Heartbreak Town" several years ago, but gave up the struggle for recognition, left the movies flat, took up stage careers and

But it's this stubborn refusal to be relegated to minor work that eventually turns up the real starring material in Heartbreak Town. It's the ordeal of Hollywood.
