Adventure Club

The Adventure Club has q
rival as the BIGGEST and
BEST club in the United
States.
We hear FROM our new club
members, Betty and Shirley
Thompson, 1923 Park Rd. NV,
that a newspaper in their home
town, Medford, Mass, has q
club similar to ours. They
are charter members and their
brother, Capt, Kinky Tom"
Thompson, is one Of the clubs
most famous characters.
Betty and Shirley suggest
that perhaps some of our club
members would like to ex-
change letters with members Of
the Medford club. We think
that is a very good idea and
even a better one would be for
the two girls to send member
ship cards in the Adventure
Club to their little friends. We
have other members in Massa-
chusettS. And members in Chi
cago, Pittsburgh and, good
gracious, practically all over the
United States. We don't like to
boast but we wonder If the
Medford Club can match
THAT.

Shirley to send us their pic

THE Movies 4
BY BEBE DANIELS
coer;sss BY iisI {. siermsa

MY ABILITY to fitch an afternoon
ANI dress and a pair of high heeled
slippers enabled me to ''crash the
gate" in motion pictures.
As a matter OF fact, I had played
around motion picture sets while a
child in company with my mother.
when she took fling at the screen,
and occasionally was given Just a
bit by a kind-hearted director, but
my first real opportunity was given
me because l borrowed" the dress
and the slippers.
Il happened on an afternoon when
things looked rather black. l was liv-
Ing with my mother again after three
years of school and the financial sit
uation of the Daniels was far from
being pleasant. Mother had been
playing bits now and then, and on
this particular afternoon, was out on
location with a company. leaving me
to my resources. I had wanted to
help but the goddess Of luck and the
casting directors ignored me COM
pletely. My name was known to a few
Of them but the securing Of job was
another thing.
Suddenly the telephone rang. 1t
was Harold Lloyd's manager with the
information that he would like to see
Mrs. Daniels.
Mrs. Daniels Is not In" I replied.
"Not Mrs. Daniels" he went on
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-09-15

somewhat impatiently, II want Miss
Daniels"
I managed to splutter that he was
speaking to Miss Daniels.
"Please come in to see me this aft
ernoon, If possible" he said, and this
I promised to do.
I was so excited I could have
yelled, but on top Of this excitement
came the realization that had moth
ing to wear. How many times have
women been in this situation.
A hasty survey OF the house re-
vealed nothing in my wardrobe, but
the luck had changed, for mother had
just bought a light afternoon frock.
Without any debate whatsoever I
grabbed that and put it on. Then
found that 1 needed slippers. Another
problem, but still another search and
1 found a pair In the wardrobe Of
my aunt who was visiting US at the
time. These were appropriated In a
like manner and I set out for the in
terview.
To make long story short, I got
the contract as Harold Lloyd's lead
ing lady.
Sitting in the producers Office
awaiting an appointment Is not the
most pleasant thing in the world for,
in the majority of cases, the wait Is
a long one. II seemed to me that I
sat there fully eight hours, although
in reality, as l afterward learned, it
was close to two.
l really had no idea what sort Of a
proposition would be offered me so
was mentally concocting stories re-
lating to my capabilities, my expert
ence and so forth. In addition to this
I had done up my hair In such a way
that added several years to my ap-
pearance and this was helped out by
the long skirt on the dress and the
high heels.
Finally was admitted into the pri-
very kind and cordial but I was so
scared I couldn't say a word. just
mumbled something incoherent and
stared. All of the fine stories I had
made up went out of my mind in a
flash.
He asked me to stand In one corner
Of the room and then to walk to and
fro across the floor which I did.
With a puzzled look he said:
Him, I thought you were much
younger, Miss Daniels"
All my hopes went out the window.
Here I had tried to look older and
that was the very thing he didn't
want.
l couldn't say anything for mo-
ment but realizing that something
must be done I started TO take down
my hair and dress it as | had been
In the habit of doing. l can see the
expression on that mans face even
to this day. He was absolutely dunn
founded.
When I had finished and given him
an opportunity of seeing how looked,
he smiled.
After a bit Of questioning he APP
peared satisfied and offered me con-
tract as leading lady TO Harold Lloyd.

DELAWARE CITY PROSPERITY
Several Large Building Projects
Were Completed During 1882

The year 1882 saw several large
building projects completed at Del
aware City and the prospects of a
number of others being started for
1888 within a short time. The
Government completed the four
miles of stone jetty between the
end of Pea Patch Island toward
New Castle after two years work
at a cost of about $2,50O,000. The
new Delaware City High School
was completed and placed in use
last September at a cost of $780,
900, including equipment, and the
four miles of concrete highway be-
tween Delaware City and Port
Penn, was finished early in the
year with several hundred yards at
the Delaware City end. Bids were
opened on December 18th for the
new steel lift bridge, bascule type,
which is to be built over the branch
canal at Fifth street, in that town.
It is expected the contract will
be awarded in a short time at a
cost between 100000 and $4,000.
The Government is also engaged in
purchasing marshland along the
north side of the canal between
Delaware City and st. Georges.
Approximately 800 acres are
sought. A survey has been COM
pleted between the Delaware river
and the back bay at Chesapeake
City, Md, and if Congress appro-
PIRATES the necessary funds. the
work Of widening the canal from
II to 35 feet will be started.
