After telling how orderly the

veterans fled before cavalry and
tanks, remained a horror in the
minds of those with whom he
talked. He said they called it
"a real war"-"a dreadful night" ;"
The veterans. ousted from
Washington, were invited to Ideal
Park, outside Of Johnstown, by
Mayor Edward McCloskey. and
it was there, at Camp McCloskey,

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 6.
Newest plan of the busy Samuel
Goldwyn is to bring Sidney Frank
lin, the Brooklyn bull fighter, to
Hollywood to act as technical ad-
wiser on Eddie Cantor's new
comedy, 1.-The Kid From Spain
Negotiations are under way
and, as Franklin already has a
project in mind on the border,
the Film City very likely will re-
ceive visit from this country'S
only native bull fighter.
Observers point out that "The
Kid From Spain," as originally
written by william Anthony Nc
Guire, as inspired by the life of
this Brooklyn youth who won the
admiration Of the LatinS for his
proficiency in an art they had re-
garded as peculiarly their own.
In it's final form the Cantor
script is said TO have wandered
somewhat from the Franklin
story. The pride of Brooklyn
however, could give advice and
then Mr.. Goldwyn, no doubt, has
a willy eye on the publicity value
Of his association.
From Troy Orr comes the story
of the embittered writer, whose
Eastern guests were asking him
the meaning of studio terms.

they queried.
