INCREASE IN HOME
CONSTRUCTIONS IS
PREDICTED IN 1940
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April i
(UP)—A 10 per cent increase in private home construction operations .
during 1939 is predicted for 1940 by
Real Estate Commissioner Clarence
Urban.
Every major branch of real estate
improvement will share in the expected upswing in business, Urban
said. He listed among favorable factors the leveling off of building material prices which occurred when
the European war started last year.

“OUR REPUTATION IS OUR GUAKANTER”
_ KEYSTONE MARKET
. Guy Tabler was hostess to the Chat“T once wrote a chapter for a book
on motion pictures making. My contribution was supposed to be on the
acting end: How to prepare for a
role. 1 worked hard on that chapter. My eonclusion then and now is
that the imagination must be vivid,
in the acting field.
“T received a lot of kidding from
my friends on that bit of writing
but it’s still the truth as I see it.”’
Miss Davis cites the example of
her current role of the governess in
Rachel ‘Field’s story, ‘‘All This and
Heaven Too’’ as one which was created by the writer almost living the
role as she developed the story and
which requires the actress playing
. the part to do the same,
“Practically all I had to do was to
read the book to be able to project
myself into the character who be;came involved in one of Europe’s
. most sensational murder inysteries
lof the middle 1800’s.
Some parts, Miss Davis said, required a great deal of thought and
study as well as the ability to project herself into the place of the
character she is playing. The ‘best
example was her role in ‘‘Dark Victory’ which could have become
maudlin but which was a dramatic
triumph because she did not overplay it.
“T forgot how Bette Davis would
act in those circumstances and tried
to think out how my character would
do it. It was that simple Just a case
of pretending.”’
