F|REMEN PREPARE
FOR RELIEF DRIVE
Maryland Association Con-
ferences Consider Legis-
IatiVe Needs.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


SEAT PLEASANT. Nd, July o.
Although the General Assembly will
not meet until January, the Maryland
State FIremen's Association is already
holding conferences on relief legisla-
ton to be asked
The first was held last week in An
napolis, when Noble F. Rushe. presi-
dent Of the organization. Judge
Thomas Basin. chairman of the Leg
islative Committee. and Roy Morgan,
chairman Of the Board of Trustees,
met.
The two objectives Of the fremen
will be an increase in the fund to take
care Of the pensions Of the widows
and children OF the fremen killed
in action and an increase in the fund
for the injured iremen.
Benefits Insufficient.
The widows and orphans are now
receiving insufficient benefits, Rushe
stated. The widow receives only $40
month. while each child receives
only IS a month until it is Is years
old. The flremen we're allotted $1,000
year to take care of the widows and
orphans since 1918 Up to 1881 a
good deal of this fund was not used
and turned in the general funds Of
the State But since that time. due
to the increase in the population of
Maryland and subsequently an in
crease in the fire departments, the
fund is not sufflcient. =
Although the surplus Of the years
between 1918 and 1881 had been
turned into the general fund, the
firemen have been unable to receive
any of it to take care of the deficit
in the pension fund during the last
couple of years. The deficit Of last
year was s4.377.
Over a million dollars Is being re-
ceived yearly by the State from the
fire insurance companies, and the fire.
men believe that they should receive
adequate relief from that source with
out being a burden to the taxpayers.
The lack of the sufficient fund is pau
perizing the widows and children of
the firemen who sacrificed their. lives
to protect the property of the citi-
zens of this State.
Meeting in Baltimore.
The Executive Committee of the
State F1remen'S Association will meet
Sunday in the Lord Baltimore Hotel.
Baltimore, Md. 1t has not been dis
closed just what will be brought be-
fore the members of the committee,
but lively session is expected. The
executive meeting of the fire chiefs
also will be held in the Baltimore
hotel on the same day. They expect
to make arrangements to hold a meet
ing OF all of the fire chiefs of the
State at later date in Baltimore.
President Rushe announced yester-
day that 200 firemen are expected to
attend the annual short course at
the Fire College at the University of
Maryland September 4, S and 6. He
said that he has made ARRANGEMENTS
to have motion pictures taken of the
f1remen at work.

Connolly Likes
Inexperience

There is one musical and dance
director who has an entirely new
slant on the business of producing
screen eXtraVaganZaS. He is Bobby
Connolly. the famous New York
producer and director, whose first
big screen effort is Filtration
Walk" which comes to the Earle
Theater on Friday, with Dick
Powell, Ruby Keeler and Pat
O'Brien in the title roles.
It is Connolly who directed the
lavish Hawaiian sequence Of
Filtration Walk" as well as the
entire "Hundredth Night" West
Point play that takes up the lat
ter portion of the film.
At least half of the young beau.
ties who appear in the musical Sc.
quences of the picture are girls
with no previous stage or screen
experience. Connolly believes that
inexperienced girls are far easier
to direct, more spontaneous and
more charming than girls who
have appeared in other musical
comedies or films.
Before Connolly started casting
for the picture, he let it be known
that experience wasn't necessary
for a girl to get a spot in "Flirta-
ton Walk. At least half a dozen
of the girls finally selected we're
Los Angeles college students.
There was a waitress whom Con
molly spotted in Santa Barbara
restaurant. Another was the Is,
year-old daughter of a studio elec
trician. whose father had heard
of Connolly's call for inexperi-
enced girls.
One girl was a visitor from
Texas. who had succeeded in get
ting a pass to "see the studio" {"
and who had no definite idea of
going into the movies. They were
too new to the movie industry to
have had much chance to figure
out camera tricks" or to become
self-conScious and arch. And they
were all happy and proud to be-
come Bobby Connolly girls" The
director was more than satisfied

Dear Mr. Kelley:
When I bought my ticket for

SON arriving later would have to
stand until the first scene was

few others did the same thing.

would have Jared better even
in the gallery, as the sO-called

nearly all the first scene, what
with the tramping of feet down
the aisles, the lowering Of chair
seats, and the added nuisance
of people rising to let others
pass 50 that even q view of the
stage was cut off. I cannot un-
derstand why, if they put out
that sign they did not carry it
into effect. They do at all con-
certs, and I'm sure If they did
it two or three times at the

replaced by flowing, poetic
phrasing that tells the story OF
ancient France with less round
about method.
AS Hampden presents it it is
colorful theater and its principal
part is so rich in opportunity FOL
the actor it is easy to understand
why it is the favorite opening
play of the repertoire week.
Such durable quality it pos
-sesses as a play traces to the
tense and thrilling moments
wherein the cunning churchman
eoutwitS his enemies by genuine
theatrical trick. by that solemn
crisis when he draws the sacred
circle and invokes the curse of
Rome on those who would soil his
ward, Julie.
When Hampden dons clerical
robes he invests these parts with
a fine reverence and dignity. II
is so in "Caponsacchi" and his
"Richelieu" in the flaming vest
'ments of the cardinal is a fig
ure drawn to grace the high pull
pit or the prelate's throne. The
Hampden facility for sly fun and
subtle wit is neatly served by the
playwright, with the motives and
purpose ingeniously etched to
give the character solid appeal.
