Fred Stone Revives Low Down
On Annie Oakley

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 16.-Fred
Stone, noted comedian under
contract to RKO Radio, was an
intimate friend of Annie Oakley,
world-famous markswoman whom
Barbara Stanwyck portrays in
RKO Radios current picture Of
the same name, which is released
this week.
Stone, whose outstanding per-
1ormance as Katharine Hepburn's
father in RKO's Alice Adams"
was his first film effort after
years Of fame in vaudeville and
musical comedy, met Miss Oakley
in 1910 when she was starring in
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show
and he was touring in vaudeville
with his partner, Dave Mont
gomery.
Until her death in 1925, she
and her husband, Frank Butler,
were constant visitors at the
Stone farm-estate in Amityville,
l.. I. In fact, Miss Oakley prac-
ticed most Of her shooting there.
To her went the credit Of teach
ing stone, an excellent markSman
in his own right, the art Of shoot
ing glass balls from horseback.
She also taught his eldest daugh.
ter, Dorothy, to shoot.
When Annie Oakley died she
left the actor all her Scrapbooks,
memoirs, and other pieces Of her
personal property. Her saddle
she left to his daughter, Dorothy.
Stone offered the use Of this
saddle to George Stevens, the
director Of the picture, and it was
used in many of the scenes. Her
rifle and ScrapbookS he gave to
museum at Cody, Wyo., which
houses other mementoes Of her
spectacular career.
Playing opposite Miss Stanwyck
Is Preston Foster, whose perform
anoes In THE Informer," The
AriEonian'' and "Tfae Last Days Of
Pompeit" have Skyrocketed him UP
the ladder Of cinema fame.

Ethiopia and New Deal Barred
For Comics, Says Charlie
By CHARLES RUGGLES

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 16.-I was
talking to Harold Lloyd the other
day and we decided that for any
young man with q bad case Of
wanting to be q comedian we
would prescribe q room at the
Lambs Club, and in six months
he ought to be on his feet.
BY that time he would have
such a good working idea OF what
comedians have to put up with
in real life he would rather be
a Swiss bell ringer. In fact ne
probably wouldn't even want to
see another comedian.
Not that I am actually COM
planning. you understand. BY now
I am so used to this life I don't
even snarl at myself in the mir
ror while am shaving any more.
There is just one little thing that
I can't get used to-being laughed
at when I'm trying to be serious.
Harold has the same trouble.
I could tell by the hurt look IN
his eyes when I mentioned 1t.
I used to know a comedian with
q passion for pSychoanalysiS, but
every time he tried to talk about
it his friends would laugh at him.
He had that same look in his
eyes. Poor fellow, after he shot
himself people even laughed at
his funeral when the paIbearerS
tripped with the caSket.
Personally I am interested in
government and international re-
lations, but do you think can
get anyone to listen to my ideas?
No; they break right out laugh
ing in my face. Like the other
day when was talking to Bill
Gargan, who had dropped in TO
