Sprightly Winnie Lightner


The difficulty Of timing for laughs
in the making of a modern screen
comedy is complicated by the clev-
erness of the comedians in the
cast.
AS a consequence "Gold Dust
Gertie," Warner Brothers latest
feature picture starring Winnie
Lightner and featuring Olsen and
Johnson, which comes to the Oxford
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
OF next week offers the sound re-
cording departments altogether new
problems because practically every
member of the large cast is rated
as first class screen comic and is
certain to share in the laughter
which the picture provokes.
High-speed action and fast lines
were necessary to keep the tempo
of the hilarious farce at full speed
ahead. There is little time for
waits to let the audience catch up
it's laughing, yet it is so timed that
no lines are lost and no situation
left vague because Of the noise of
appreciation that always greets the
antics Of Winnie Lightner, Olsen
and Johnson or any of the support
ing players.

A PRISON AND A SHRINE

A proposal that a federal penitentiary
be built on the site of Fort McHenry,
at Baltimore, scene of the birthplace OF
the Star-Spangled Banner, was made re-
Gently by some government official in
Washington. Naturally, it has drawn
the fire of patriotic organizations.
Fort McHenry, in case your memory
is hazy, guarded the approach to Balti-
more during the War of 1912. In the
year 1914 the British advanced to cap
ture the city. Washington had already
been seized, and Baltimore at that per-
iod was the nations capital. But Fort
McHenry stood in the way, and fierce
all-night bombardment by the British
fleet failed to reduce it; and Francis
. Scott Key, looking on, wrote poem that
became the national anthem, and the
British sailed away and Baltimore re-
manned untaken.
All of which makes it evident that
Fort McHenry is real shrine of patri-
otism, place worth preserving; and it
justifies the following remark by Paul :
c.. Wolman, commander-in-chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars:
"The mere suggestion that Fort Nc
Henry be torn down and penal insti-
tuition be erected in it's place is partlcu-
larly repugnant to ever patriotic Amer
ican."
However, when you stop to think
about it, the whole business simply en-
phasizes how woefully inadequate our
prison system in America really is.
A prison ought to be a place where
society's derelicts are reclaimed for So
ciety's service. In thoroughly civilized
country it would be much more than
mere lookup; it would be something of
hospital for sick minds, and sociologi-
cal clinic, and workshop and training
school. In it, wise society would take
the men who have fallen into crime and
fit them for decent lives and good citizen
ship.
Such an institution would be a thing
for nation to be proud of; and it would
be highly fitting to put such an institu-
tion on the site of a reminder of old wars.
Under such circumstances, the plan to
put prison at Fort McHenry would ap-
pear in totally different light.
But our prisons don't come within
miles of that status now. They are
mere lockups. Most men come out Of
them worse than when they went in.
So Commander Wolman's protest is thor
oughly justified.

itself have been enough to stagger the
nation and leave it PROSTATE for many
months, even if it had not already been
overburdened under unrealized condi-
tions of overproduction and swollen in
ventories which subsequent events have
shown were also present.
''The contraction of purchasing power
described in the foregoing, therefore,
of itself suddenly left the market in
state of overproduction almost overnight.
Manufacturing and sales programs were
generally based on state of affairs that
abruptly terminated. Even before this,
the productive machinery of the United
States in many lines had been geared up
to such a pitch as to be able to turn out
more goods than even the 1928 and 1929
markets could absorb without a consider
able amount of price concessions, which
of course aggravated the case.''
Many factors operated to bring about
the depression, of course. But Mr.. Steph-
enson's account is worth great deal of
study.

Wiggily with a laugh. Then he did
a flip flop and there he was, stand
ing on his head instead of his heels.
And he began to slide down the
slippery hill that way.
How is 1t, Twisty?" called the
rabbit from the bottom of the hill.

Wonderful" grunted the fat pig.
"I'll try 1t myself" But when he
did he fell over and gave himself
such bump that he said sliding
down hill the regular way was good
enough for him. So he slid right
side up and Uncle Wiggily slid up
side down and they had fun.

RACK or THE DEPRESSION

Rome C. Stephenson, president Of the
American Bankers Association, in an
article written for the January issue OF
the Rotarian Magazine provides about as
clear and logical an account OF the rea-
SON for the business depression as we
have yet seen.
He points out that the tremendous ex-
pansion in the nations purchasing pow
er during the period that ended in the
stock market crash was not caused by
any changes in the regular commercial
banking structure Such things as brok-
ers' loans-ordinarily called the "invis-
ible banking system" enormous
sums of money on the market. These
loans came largely from sources other
than banks. Money became extremely
plentiful; and Mr.. Stephenson remarks:
43The initiation of purchasing power in
the United States during the period of
the boom through the operation of these
various factors was probably as great as
this country has ever seen. Obversely,
the sudden cessation of their activity con-
stituted one of the greatest instances Of
the contraction of effective purchasing
power in the nations history.
ssThe result was much the same as if
from under generally expanded bank
ing structure several hundred million
dollars of the gold that was actually re-
quired to support that structure Lad
been removed, necessitating rapid de-
flation, which would inevitably have been
followed by sharply falling prices and
depression.
