Would Lady Olivier (Vivien Leigh) really be as beautiful as she is on the screen, where she has the help of make-up, clever lighting, and a tactful camera? Women journalists who interviewed her in Melbourne found that the screen had done justice to her heart-shaped face, with its fine bone structure, her small, tip-tilted nose, and her curving mouth. But it had not quite captured her smooth, ivory skin (devoid of any make-up), the grey-green eyes fringed with thick, dark lashes, or the tiny elusive dimple at the edge of her chin. Prejudice died hard the world over. Primary women teachers in New Zealand had not yet had the opportunity to make just that contribution to the education service which was the privilege of women teachers in some other countries, said Miss C. M. Rains (Dominion president) at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Women Teachers’ Association, held recently in Dunedin. She added that it would not be long, however, before New Zealand came into line with other democratic countries of the world in this respect. The importance of the contribution women teachers made in the teaching and influencing of young children, and adolescent girls in particular, would not be denied. Women teachers asked no favours, but merely impartial treatment; that all other things being equal, sex alone should be no bar to progress to high office. Bumble Sale.
