Evening star., 1935-02-23

for the splendid contribution which
he has made so unselfishly and so ably
to the ideals for which architects
strive" Russell declared.
This announcement would not be
complete if it did not record the great
obligation of all of the members for
what Mr.. Baldwin has done. and if it
did not express the concern of the
institute that, for the time being at
least, he is to retire from an official
part in the management of institute
affairs.
During the past eight years he has
given his daily attention to the work
of the institute at the Octagon, in
Washington, its national headquarters
His contribution of thought, good
judgment, and enthusiasm can never
be repaid except by the affectionate
regard and high esteem of the entire
membership, and these he has without
reservation"

Hoover pleaded for return OF
real American liberalism which "iS
not RECOMMENDATION nor repression
and is never coercion by bureau
crats," and warned against i'm
ported social PHILOSOPHERS of gov
eminent"
Years of instability caused by the
world war, with eventual collapse
into depression, Hoover said, have
unloosed forces that have made
liberty ego down the suicide road
of Socialism and Fascism in score
of nations" and the infection OF
these ideas into America have
brought our nation to dividing of
the ways fateful to free men,"
True American liberalism" Hoov-
er continued, has ever been open to
change, willing to experiment, anX-
ious for new ideas for the better
ment of lives and homes.
Terms Now Perverted
But it has been resolute that no
improvement to the lives of men is
possible which undermines or de-
stroys our liberties"
The former president said true
American liberalism and its Ideals
clash with the imported social phil
osophies of government.
Even the terms Liberal and Lib
eralisrn,' - he continued, "are now
perverted to cover every form of
Socialism, FasciSm, Communism,
and other political patent medic
cine. They are used as camou-
flage for the wholesale violation of
principles of liberty.
1T appears that to be Liberal
today you must advocate currency
or credit initiation although its ul-
innate destiny is destruction. You
must advocate that the govern
ment edge into a system of gov
ernment-directed monopolies. You
must ardently believe that the gov
ernment go into business.
You must believe in vast poll
tical bureaucracies. Generally, you
must accept many other infections
of European collectivism.
IF you do not believe these things
you will be called bad names, such
as 'reactionaries' or tories These
ideas are not American Liberalism. "
The true Liberal who would go
forward on the American road in
stead of wandering in this morass, s.
the speaker continued, must cease
to bother with the meaning of
phrases. We must demand a realis-
tic return to American ideals.

what are you doing out in ths

the basket of food was left at the

Mouse said to the rabbit:
You think my lucky pupils don't

Now I see Curly and Floppy Twis-
tytail, the pig boys, coming this

giving and you'll see by their an
swers they know what 1 have

Uncle Wiggily said he would.

1t was Thanksgiving Day. Uncle
Wiggily had eaten his big dinner
in his Hollow Stump Bungalow
not too big a dinner but just the
right size-and now he was hopping
out in the woods.
The rabbit gentleman was think
ing what a queer thing Thanks
giving was, not like Christmas or
Fourth of July or Halloween or
Valentine Day or the Last Day OF
School or anything like that.
Il believe" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself, as he hopped along in the
woods. Il believe there are lots of
animal folks that don't know what
THANKSGIVING is all about. OF
course Miss Mouse, in the Hollow
Tree School, tries to tell them.
"She has them bring food to feed
hungry families so the hungry ones
may have something to be thank
full for. But I'm sure that the an
imal folks that never know what
it is to be hungry or to be cold or
to want good place to sleep-I'm
sure these lucky ones don't know
what it means to be really thank
full"
Sudden Voice
"Oh, yes they do" suddenly said
a voice behind Uncle Wiggily.
Without knowing it Mr.. Longears
had been thinking and at the same
time talking out loud.

the thought that flashed through
his mind. Il wonder if it was one
of the Bad Chaps?"
This time he didn't speak aloud.
But when he again heard the voice,
saying: "Oh, yes they do!' the
bunny gentleman thought it time
for him to ask:
Who are you?'
To his delighted surprise he
heard the answer:
I'm the Lady Mouse Teacher
from the Hollow Tree School,"

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 81. U.P)-
Talking pictures led stock company
actors from the lone night stands
into the movie promised land be-
cause they made directors stop do
ing all the acting" and let the act
ors have a chance, in the opinion
of William Powell.
Powell, an honor graduate of the
theatrical road" trotted out the
fact that most topflight stars of the
talkies formerly trod the boards be-
hind legitimate footlights in sup
port of his argument.
In theda VS. of silent pictures,
Powell said, it wasn't necessary for
a screen star to know anything
about acting. I'VE had scenes such
as this he went on.
Not Paid To Think
@Lizzy Glutz never had a days
stage training in her life. yet she
was a great picture star. LizZy
would arrive at the studio without
knowing what picture she was play
ing in, or what she was to do be-
fore the cameras that day.
But what shall think about?'
said Lizzy to her director.
=" You're not paid to think he
would tell her. Just look at that
nail on the wall
$50 Lizzy would look dumbly at
the nail while the cameras turned.
Title writers did the rest. They'd
shove in title reading something
like this:
Her heart filled with despair
over her absent lover, Lizzy gazed
long into the night, -blah-blah.'
And, strangely, in the olden days
it was the director who did all the
acting. I have known directors
who fell, exhausted, after working
themselves up to high emotional
pitch. One director I knew broke
his finger talking to himself be-
hind the camera.
Sound Ends Jokes
There was nothing serious about
picture making in the early days.
Practical jokes, such as cleo
trified hot seats were the rage.
Sound. however, was not only the
salvation of the industry but it
brought an end to tomfollery.
Can You imagine Myrna 10y or
Luise Rainer sitting on an electri-
fled chair? Or can you picture a
top-notch director like Robert 2.
Leonard shrieking through a mega
phone and pulling his finger until
he breaks it?
No, sound drove all these things
out Of the industry, possibly saving
Il from ultimate destruction. And
the advent OF sound was the saliva
tion of the theatrical stock player.
"Of all the players on the screen,
1t Is my opinion that those who
have reached the top and those who
have enjoyed the longest success
are the ones who came from the
stock companies"
