London ' Charm School ' grooms Britain's film players of the future.
To groom talented young players for a successful future in films, a ' Charm School ', an institution unique in the history of British films, has been established in London by the J Arthur Rank Organisation , Britan's biggest producing, distributing and exhibiting enterprise. The School is supervised by David Henley, Director of Artistes for the Organisation, and actively directed by Mrs Molly Terraine, actress and stage director for 25 years. At present, nine young actresses and four young actors - drawn from Eire, East Africa and Canada as well as Britain - are being trained, but eventually there will be 30 students. The curriculum includes movement and deportment, breathing exercies, diction, fencing, reading, rehearsing parts from plays and films and regular visits to film studios. Later there will be a miniature film studio where the students will actually appear before the camera as part of their training. Students are chosen from applicants for roles in films. When selected, they are given an optional seven-year contract and paid a salary during the training period . Photo shows: Constance Smith, 18-year-old student with a striking resemblance to Hedy Lamarr, goes through a love scene at the piano with George Calderwood, formerly of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Watching are - left to right - Sonia Holme, aged 22 of Cheam, Surrey; Patsy Drake, 18, of Plymouth, Devon and Moira Kerry , aged 18 of Dublin

Girls who reach the leaving age at the Hammersmith Technical School for Women are well qualified to take up a career, or become a model housewife. They take a three years course there, starting when they are 13, and apart from general education and art, which is compulsory, they are allowed to choose one subject in which to specialise - including cookery, ladies tailoring, millinery, embroidery, and housewifery.
Seen here young pupils of the millinery class making hats at the school. At the end of their course the girls are highly proficient, and can start work in the trade at a good wage.

AA Patrolmen at school .
Nearly forty five years ago, in August 1905, a small group of motoring enthusiasts met to discuss a matter which had been causing them a great deal of trouble and indignation . They were being persecuted by the magistrates and police of the country districts, who, between them were crediting a continuous flow of convictions on the most paltry and insubstantial motor charges. To combat this threat to their new recreation this small band of motorists decided to form themselves into an association. In September 1905, the Automobile Association was formally founded. Today the number of members is well over 850,000. This school, established in the summer of 1948, is the first that the Association has had .
PICTURE SHOWS:- One of the jobs of a patrolman is to be able to change a tyre in a matter, almost, of seconds.

TENSION AT TAKE OFF
11 April 1950
Jeannie Race, assisted by instructor Dick Pope concentrates every effort as she braces herself for the 'take off' on a water ski run at Cypress Gardens, Florida, where water skiing is a year round sport. Pope, 18 year old water ski champion for 1948 and 1949, takes time off from college to act as instructor. Water skiing is rapidly gaining popularity in America, and little Miss Race is typical of the young people to whom the sport particularly appeals. (FOTO:DUKAS/TOPFOTO)

Dry Ski School
Each year more and more Britons are escaping from the damp greyness of their island to the exhilarating snowiness of winter at it's best in the skiing countries of Europe . And each winter more and more of them are going to the Dry Ski School run by Lillywhites Sport Store in the West End of London to get some of the year's stiffness out of their joints and accustom themselves in advance to the strains and twists of sport . This is the sixth season of the indoor course , presided over by Anni Maurer , a former Swiss ski champion , who recently appeared on English television . She specially designed the short , curved skis which are used in her classes . Sometimes , in the ' season ' which runs from November to the end of February , she has as many as five half - hour classes ( from 12-18 pupils in a class ) in one evening . Her clients , as our pictures show , are both sexes and all ages , ranging from slim 18-year old typists to paunchy , determined 60-year-old business men and grey - haired , gallant housewives . When they reach the slopes they will certainly have got over the preliminary muscular agonies and can spend their holiday weeks in improving , or establishing their technique .
