Funny women have long been | a stock in trade of show business. But until TV, they were always overshadowed by the popularity of the male laugh-getters. TV has changed all that. The title role in the home screen's top show--"I Love Lucy" --belongs to a woman. Among the others who have nice ratings are Imogene Coca, Eve Arden, Joan Davis, Ann Sothern, Marie Wilson, Gracie Allen, Martha Raye and Tallulah Bankhead. Most of them were in radio, too, but have never |p had the immense success they en- Joy now. |best. we possibly can. I always have a smart outfit on, unless I've |just fallen in a mud puddle or something. | "I held out for three years against doing live TV. One of the main reasons I wanted to film was that you can look better. We spend {much more time lighting me than {they ever did when I was making Imovies. In those days, they'd look lat my nose and light me with a {match." | Lighting, you see, is what makes ithe glamor girls glamorous. It {shouldn't be too big a job on Joan. | Despite her comic characteriza- tions, she is a smart looking wo- man, with smooth skin and blonde air. Joan admitted that TV was the biggest thing that ever happened er How come, I asked Joan Davis, |," ft is because women's voices are not as recognizable on radio? "No," she replied. "It isn't hard to recognize my voice, or Eve Arden's, or Gracie Allen's." Is it because male comics excel in audible humor while the gals rely on sight for laughs? "Nope, I don't think so." Then why is it? "I think it's because of that nasty old g called sex," Miss Davis replied. "And sex is more visible than audible."

A QUEEN IS CROWNED By CHARLOTTE WHITTON, CBE Mayor of Ottawa LONDON, England --Before me, as I write, I have a yellowed let- ter. dated from Liverpool, July 5th, 1838, and addressed to a great- aunt of a friend, at "Monaghan, County of -Northumberland, Dis- trict of Newcastle, Upper Canada, North America" by her son -- the writer. \ He speaks of "the disturbances that have occurred in some parts | of Canada" but of the hope that "under the government of Lord Durham matters will be so ar- ranged as to prevent any further attempts at insurrection and re- olt"'. He adds that he is "forwarding, by the same ship, a paper' with "an account of the Coronation of our young Queen, an event which has been celebrated in every part of the Kingdom with the greatest joy, and an expression of the warmest attachment and loyalty to youthful sovereign'. Victoria Regina The crowning was -of Queen Victoria and the year that of the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada. That wag, almost a cen- tury and a quarter ago; yet one of my own earliest memories is of slowly tolling church and fire bells | in the town, and of men and wom- | en, quiet and sobbing, in a way. a | tiny girl coyld not understand, as, | having reigned for more than threescore years, the aged Queen, | who had been that youthful sover- eign, passed into history. | There were services in the Mar- | ket Place, gone now in the bustling | town, and in all the churches, and | large gatherings of the children, even of us little tots not yet at school, and bewilderment in my baffled mind when the household gloom was broken by my solemn statement that one of the clergy- men had said the good Queen's soul had gone to Halifax and everyone was sad from Paradise to | Vancouver. Paradise was now to me but Vancouver I did know, | because a family in town had just said goodbye forever to their friends and gone to that far coun- ry. | | CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Then 'Kindergarten' and all of | us working bright wool crowns on 'cardboard for the "Core-in-nation" lor something that sounded like |that, and marching round and {round with flags carried over our shoulders the while we shouted "The Mapul Leaf Forever" and "Soldiers of the King" that had been "Soldiers of the Queen' be- fore, All this for something that was going to be in the Fair Grounds on the day of 'core-in- nation". Then black gloom, again, just as in those days when the Queen was dead and everybody praying because the King had to have a "Corporation" (again I solemnly reported 'the teacher Miss Bow- ditch' had told us this). School closed; the King was still sick; and the marches were never made, though there was much '"to- do" in the streets and bands every- | where late on in the summer when, {well again, the King at last was | crowned. [YES COMES BACK |" And someone who was "over" | | for it reported that the birch bark | | canoe, sent to HRH Prince George, the person and government of our | As the World Grows Smaller The Royal Family Comes Closer Hall, where the Principal spoke of the death of the King. The pic- ture of Edward VII was draped in purple and that of 'Prince George" brought forward, the flag unfurled before it, and we all sang "God Save the King". Again the church memorial serv- ices, the official one in St. Paul's, seriously disrupted by Hilda Rob- ertson, now a respected Ottawan and all the Presbyterian row with her, crashing in a sudden skid in | untrustworthy reliance on the un- | accustomed Anglican kneeling benches. A year of excited preparation for the glad crowning of King George and Queen Mary, for here were a King and Queen who had really been in the town within the decade. Moreover, the King had been to sea in HMS Canada, and the wom- en were happy because Queen Mary was to be named Regent since Prince Edward of Wales was S0 very young. Besides, a '"'crossing'" was not such an unheard of trip now. Times were good, money easy, and even, from your own small town, a party of the women were going and "on their own'! Wasn't Miss Barr arranging it and not a man among them to manage for them? The Scouts had heen started and one of the town boys was chosen to go in the Coronation troop, and, since it was just at the end of school anyway, a school dance would be allowed Coronation Night -- your own first one with boys as well as girls present! THE TIDE OF WAR A bare three years and that happy, buoyant, comfortable world had gone forever; so many of the boys who had marched "i cadets" that Coronation Day dead, ere their twenties, for the King, in |far places. Then '""'Armistice", a a peace that was only a pause wars. The years of idleness, hun- ger and need, of breakdown in all the continents and hoplessness in the hearts of men. But, somt way, "King George and Queen Mary" seemed, in on- rushing years, steadfast, Secure, personifying in themselves the few enduring values in the strain and stress of a crumbling civilization. The King's Jubilee Message came as a rock of reassurance in the shifting sands: "With commonsense and good- will as our shield and buckler, we have kept, in spite of all difficul- ties, our heritage of liberty, alike for the individual and for our many constituent races'. .
