GETTING SERIOUS

THE epidemic of kidnapings which has
1 sprung up in the past few years in all
parts of the country, indicates the need
for heavier punishment for those who
seek this deteStable means of obtaining
easy money at the expense of grief and
tragedy to others.
Hardly day goes past that a serious
kidnapping is not reported from some
part of the country.
The kidnaper seeks to obtain his ends
by terrorizing the family of his victim
and working upon their anguish to give
him the money he desires, usually threat
ening death or Disagreement to his vic
tim if his demands are not met.
In some few states kidnapping is pun
ishable by death In some respects it
is much more atrocious than murder
The latter at least, is over and done
with as general thing, in comparative
ly brief period of time. kidnapping may
be dragged out for days.
1t might not be desirable to make kid
naping a capital offense, but there is no
sound reason why those guilty of it
should not be deprived of their liberty
for long time-for life.

Joe Brown in
State Comedy
Noted Star at His Best in
"The TenderfOOt"

Joe T.. Browns newest hit "The
Tenderfoot' begins a four day en-
gagement at Warmers State today.
1t is by far one of the funniest
comedies that has ever come out of
the film capital, and certainly the
biggest laugh-getter that Joe f..
Brown has ever appeared in.
1t seemed as though such mirth
provokers as Local Boy Makes
Good" and Fireman Save My
Child" could not be surpassed; but
1.-THE Tenderfoot' has done it.
The situation of a Texas cowboy
let loose on New Yorks Broadway
provides the starting point for a
series of happenings and mishaps,
each one funnier than the one pre-
ceding. From the moment Joe, in
boots and ten gallon hat, rides up
the Big Canyon in a horse drawn
junk wagon, things begin popping.
He has come to invest his lifes
savings in order to make enough to
buy the ranch back home. Two
shoe-string theatrical producers
sell him the idea of buying his way
into partnership with them in the
show business. and what cinches
the deal Is Joe's infatuation over
Ruth, the producers secretary.
A Texas cowboy in the show bus
mess on Broadway lends itself to
enough humorous situations TO
pack any film, but the develop

NEA Sat.vica Writer

Hollywood.-A trip through any
motion picture studio reveals
scores of unsung workers who
really play important roles in the
most highly exploited Of all indus
tries.
The first of these to be met, and
therefore probably the most inn
pressive. is the guardian of those
sacred" portals. In some studios
this guardian Is q man-in others
q girl. But all have the same out
standing duty. They mus the able
to say mo" to people and make
them like 1t. Further, they must
know who to let pass and who to
keep out.
Oldest, In point Of service. of
these guardians at the present
time is Grant Donley. u charming
blond girl still in her eos. For
four years Miss Donley has sat be-
hind a grated window guarding the
main entrance to Warner Brothers
Studio. No other studio to-day has
a guardian who has served that
much time.
So, when I decided to find out
just how much of a job 1t Is to
guard studio entrance, Grant was
elected. Besides. she probably IL
the most patient of all guardians
when 1t comes to answering silly
questions--which Ia one Of the
reasons she still Is on deck after
four years of service.
Guarding a studio gate Is a vi
tally important job. First Of all
there are several hundred studio
employees whom she must know In
order to pass them through the
electrically controlled door without
delay.
Then three is a smaller group
of permitted visitors who have
legitimate business within the
Studio. They must be recognized
and passed inside Immediately as
1t IL just as essential to expedite
necessary bushes sas 1t is to pre-
vent a waste of time through un-
necessary callers.
Keeping out the unnecessary
callers--those simply curious to
see how pictures are made--is the
part Of the job which requires real
tact. Scores of these curious folk
apply at the studio gates every day.
Naturally, they can't be admitted
as their presence would slow down
production.
Yet they must be turned away
In a manner that will leave them
free of resentment AZ 1t is quite
necessary for the film industry to
have the publics goodwill.
