The story Of Annie Oakley opens
when she is just a country gal out in
Ohio, making a living by shooting
quail through the head and thereby
not filling them with buckshot, takes
her to Cincinnati for a shooting match
with the country's ace shot, joins her
up with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West
outfit, makes her famous and ends
with her In the arms Of the man she
loves in cheap shooting gallery.
It's not a great picture, but it tells
this story in such a natural and un-
affected manner, moves with such a
bright pace and has so much fun as
1t goes along that it Is almost bound
to entertain. There may be few dis
crepancies, such as some 1885 dialogue
in the days Of horse blankets and
horse cars, but these things do not de-
tract from a film story told in the
pleasant vein Annie Oakley" is.
The picture was directed by George
Stevens, and the cast performs with a
proper good will. Barbara Stanwyck
does very pleasantly with the title role
and to a large degree Wndicates her
self for some past tantrums. Preston
Foster is opposite Miss Stanwyck, as
the marksman with whom she falls in
love, and he performs with much
hnesse.
Melvyn Douglass, as the inevitable
fine chap who loses at love, and Mo-
roni Olsen, as Buffalo Bill, are among
the others who contribute much. The
poker-faced Indian who plays Sitting
Bull with such an eloquent "ugh!" is
the real star of the piece. however

it has been a whole chair, with

when I am using the gadget I

feeling I get is that it is the

No, I don't mind in the least,
I'd be delighted, stranger, to

Let's cut out the twitters and
get down to hard facts.
Not one out of 500 Would-be
authors cares a hoot for writ
ing in itself. They are merely
rebelling against the drab OBJ
scurity of their lot, resentful
and envious of those who have a
place in the sun. And they think
that writing is the answer to
what ails them.
There is nothing wrong in
such rebellion. 1t is a perfectly
natural urge, and should by
some means, be gratified.
But it is tragic waste of time
and energy to try to crafty that
by trying to write-unless there
be a motive behind it entirely
removed from egotiSm.
For writing is NOT a snap.
It CAN'T be done by taking
a little time"

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

1t is one of the most diff
cult and complicated of all
crafts. It entails bitter dis
cipline. And it isn't a parlor
game for show-offs.
AS a means toward personal
aggrandizment. writing is al
ways bum bet.
Why does the average anna
teur writer fail? That's why.
The stuff he produces means
nothing to the reader. It was,
indeed, never intended to
mean anything to the reader.
1t was produced to tickle the
vanity of the author, and has
no higher aim than its spot
upon some page.
But real writing goes far
beyond personal glory or print
er's ink. 1t has little connec-
ton with the person who does
it or the page that carries it,
These are but mediums for its
transmission.
Real writing is actually not
writing at all. 1t is universal
hunger and fury, tenderness
and fear, wonder and despair,
made articulate. It is deep
calling to deep"-and the an
swer is far more important than
the original call.
It's not what it does FOR
YOU that determines the sue.
cess or failure of writing-but
what it does to THE OTHER
FELLOW. So those who write
to serve their own egotism had
much better learn how to make
good Waffles.
REAL REWARD
But for those who write be.
cause they cannot help it
there is no greater or more prof.
liable adventure than the writ
ten word.
That word may never be pub
lished-may never be fit to pub
lish-but to them that does not
matter. They will soon find
that one crude paragraph that
honestly fumbles for the truth
will do more for them than 20
volumes of printed chit-chat.
For by that fumbling they
will be lifted far above their
own limitations and weakness
into that quickening Of heart
and mind which will make them
part of ALL life.
Not enough of a reward? Then
don't try to write. For that is
the only real reward for any
writing.
It's the only reward a real
writer would ever want.
