T almost exactly the same time that Columbus was discovering
n America, Macmillan I was head OF the Holy Roman Empire, that
strange. loose association Of scattered states whose heads voted as
electors for an emperor who should rule" them all. '
Many weak sisters were chosen deliberately as these Holy Roman
Emperors" so they would not get so powerful as to threaten domination
of the independent countries, duchies, marks, and other small units

Macmillan was a horse of another color. He was a strong, talented,

now BONemla ana hungary.
He also extended Austrian power
over MUCH of Switzerland and
even into northern Italy and
France. This reused opposition in
France and Italy, and began a
feud which has continued 400
years to today.
Macmillan and his successors
created the first strong central
authority which is the core of an
empire. Austria was rising into a
really strong, centralized power.
Europe fell in love with the
Great Power" idea, which per-
sists today. The H~apsburgs, when
they were unable to conquer more
territory, simply married it"
That is. they married into families
which ruled in other lands, and
thus got power for themselves.
About the time when the Pill
grims we're landing on the bleak
Massachusetts, coast at Plymouth,
the Archduke Ferdinand, ruler in
Austria, was fighting desperately
to keep Bohemia as a part OF the
Hapsburg empire, and gradually
all Europe was embroiled in one
of the longest, w%eariest wars IN
history, which took its name from
its length - the Thirty Years
war.
WHEN the inevitable carving
w up took place at the end OF
this war. Austria was deprived OF
most of her possessions in western
Europe, but was strengthened in
that very central section of the
crossroads of Europe.
Further gains were made in the
lower Danube section about the
time when the American colonies
along the seabOard had progressed
far enough to be hanging witches.

Brothers has sent out about Dick
Powell:
Dick Powell describes his birth
place, which is near Mt. View,
Ark, as being ten miles from
modern-conveniences.'
"As a little boy he moved with
his parents and brothers to Little
Rock, Ark, which still is his Of
fetal home.
when he was 5 a railroad en-
gineer, a friend of the family,
taught him to sing Casey Jones'
A few years later an indulgent
father and patient neighbors al
lowed him to practice on the cor
net. He still plays it-and a vast
number of other musical instru-
ments.
He sang in Choirs, at weddings,
funerals and baptisms and later
with a boys orchestra. A visiting
orchestra leader offered him a job
and Dick accepted. In Louisville
Dick changed from ballads to
popular music and his career was
started.
"One season he toured the mid
die west singing with an orchestra
and was advertised as Bill Powell
Many people thought he was the
movie actor. Dick tried to catch
up with the advance agent to
make him stop this practice, but
never did.
while he played and sang with
an orchestra in Indianapolis, he
sold insurance on the side. He
made a thousand dollars extra
that year. He himself invests
much of his money in life insur-
ance and annuitieS.
He went to Florida during the
boom down there and lost all his
capital except his fare back to
Pennsylvania. He rode a day
coach back and ate a lunch Of
Misunderstanding else-on the
trip.
He organized an orchestra
which played for a summer re-
sort. Then he got a job as mas
ter Of ceremonies and orchestra
leader in a small outlying theater
in Pittsburgh.
The theater was long and mar
row and Dick, to make himself
heard, sang through a small meg
aphone. Thus he became a Groom
er. Pittsburgh liked him. He
moved to the Stanley, a big
house and became the toast OF
Pittsburgh"
Suddenly Hollywood called
again. Warner Brothers wanted
him for a slightly unpleasant
crooner role in Blessed Event, a
picture in which Lee Tracy and
Mary Brian were featured. Dick
liked Hollywood and Hollywood
liked him. He went back to finish
his Pittsburgh engagement with a
Warner contract in his pocket.
He was accidentally paired
with Ruby KeeIer next in her first
picture, which turned out to be
the sensational industry %life-saver
called And Street. Gold Dig
gers of 1881 'Footlight Parade

S-weethearts' followed and made
Dick a star Of the first magni-
tude.
Dick Powell now gets more fan
mail than any other actor in
Hollywood. He lives in the Toluca
Lake district, keeps a bachelor
hall and is seen alternately with
Mary Brian, Margaret Lindsay,
Maxine Doyle and several others.
He answers all fan mail, COL
lects pictures Of his admirers, en-
tertains visiting Little Rockians
and flies. back regularly to visit his
family. He is ) feet 10 inches tall,
weighs ITO pounds and exercises
to keep in good condition.
He is as popular on the radio
as on the screen. and he is per-
haps the most generous star in
Hollywood in giving his time and
