The final concert of the delight

was played Saturday morning at
the Central High School Audito-

a source of joy and education to
old and young alike, made doubly
so by the vital presence of Dr..
Kinder and the discernment Of
choice in the selections played.
Kindler's rendition of the several
stories behind the different num-

enough for attendance.

with an eighteenth century Polish
folk dance by Bach, followed by

Maryland's major financial in
Stitutions which failed to receive
licenses to reopen after the bank

The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation also withdrew its
commitment to subscribe to pre-
ferred stock in the new banks.
The r. F. c., however, agreed
to make substantial loans to the
trust companies to enable them
to make cash distribution to
their depositors. The Union
Trust Company accepted this
loan and is prepared to reopen
tomorrow on a S per cent with

The Baltimore Trust refused

The fourth group may be re-
ferred to as powers only IN the
sense that they may be created
as by-products from impoundlng
projects designed for other pur-
poses. They are such as might
be developed by dammlng the
French Broad at many points be-

such project is what has been
variously designated as the Bent
Greek or Long Shoals Dam Pro-
ject, in which dam between
100 and 200 feet high would be
contemplated, across the French
Broad some seven miles above
Asheville, with an impounding re-
servoir flooding practically the
whole Valley above that point to
BOSNIAN.
1t must be understood that the
floor of the French Broad Valley,
that is the bottom lands along
the river for some sixty miles
from few miles above the
Swannanoa junction to the four
forks above BOSNIAN, is almsot
level; the fall is hardly more
than two feet to the mile. Where
the tributaries running from the
mountains into the river often
exhibit an average fall of thirty
feet to the mile. as in the case
of the second group above, the
main river is relatively free from
shoals or rapids. 1t has often
been traversed by boats from
Rosman to Ashevlle. So there IS

along its course are practlcaliy

HOLLYWOOD, July 27. up
The world probably never viii
know when the perfect romance
Of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary
Pickford began to fade.
They probably do not know
themselves-or any definite rea-
son why their 13 years OF mar
ried life should end in separa-
ton and a possible divorce.
For more than a decade after
their wedding in 1920, the love
of Mary and Doug was almost
proveroial. They were one OF
the most famous couples in the
world. Their devotion was taken
for granted.
The happy task of being movie
celebrities and great monatIcS
rested lightly on their shoulders
They had common sense views
about business, but their attl-
tude toward each other was so
single-mnded that friends often
expressed uneaSIneSS.
Doug and Mary always danced
together at parties, and with no
one else. They sat next 10 each
other at dinners. Neither went
anywhere without the other for
more than q few hours, and even
then they exchanged telephone
calls.
Once Mary was son location"
at a railroad station. She tele-
phoned Doug twice, but the third
time failed to reach him. Her
company was hastily returned to
the studio, where the anxious
movie queen was treasured by
Doug that he was all right.
Their refusal to be separated
resulted in a motion picture re
volution." Doug baked at a
location trip because Mary
couldn't go along. Studio man.
ayers contrived to reproduce the
location scene right on the lot.
From then on Fairbanks crews
built mountains, meadows and
gardens. Sections of ships plac-
ed in tanks were built for 'The
Black Pirate. For long "shots"
the company went on location,
but a double played Doug's part:
Other studios soon learned
Doug saved money doing this and
soon all were building more sets
at home and making fewer loca-
tiOnS trips.
At home the Fairbanks manag-
ed to be both honeymooners and
leaders of the film colony's elite
social set. All their entertain
msnt was done at Pickfair, and
their guest book held names of
celebrities the world around.
When they went out it was only
to homes Of select few-the
Swansons' the Chaplins and Bill
Harris.
Nigfiht sports never saw them,
Doug never drank, because he
didn't particularly care for 1t and
because he always kept in top
condition for those heroic sireen
antics of his. Mary didn't like
drinking, either.
At the studio they had Separ-
ate bank accounts. separate busI-
ness managers, separate produc-

inc units. That was thelr com
mon Sence. They financed theli
pictures from their separate per
sopaI funds. This usually was
an easy matter for Mary because
She made less pretentious films.
Doug's pictures were so vast
that his whole private fortune
was at stake in them. He usual
w was broke" or close to it,
when a film was completed. He
had to wait for box office re-
cepits to get back his money.
He always did get it back, and
more. because his pictures were
successes. But there was a con-
slant nerve strain in the knowl-
edge that should just one pic
ture fail, Doug would have to
start all over again at the bot
tom.
When United Artists was form
ed, Doug's brother John Falr-
banks was made treasurer OF the
Fairbanks unit. As such he ham
died all the business details ana
Doug knew few of the financla!
worries.
Suddenly. in 1924, John Fair
banks died. The whole weight
of the film company, both financ-
es and production, fell on Doug.
Fairbanks lost the boylSh eX-
uberance that was much of his
charm. The winning smile was
slower in appearing, be became
more serious.
There was no hint then of a
change of Doug's attitude towarn
Mary. or in her feelings for
Doug. They still were the great
lovers for many years to come.
But from the day of his broth
er'S death. Doug was a changed
man.
