broadcast speech last night by
Rep. Bertrand Smell, New York.
Republican floor leader of the
House.
Mr.. Roosevelt pleaded with
youth to unite and challenge"
remembering that rules are not
necessarily sacred-principles are"
Mr.. Smell, speaking under aus
pieces of the Republican National
Committee, asked young voters to
unite in opposition to any re-
vision of the Constitution.
Our economic system is now
challenged as outworn," Mr.. Smell
said. I'VE are told it has be-
come an obstacle in the path of
national progress, menace to the
welfare Of our rising generations.
We are asked to cast it aside and
substitute something new - a
planned economy'-devised and
offered by the New Deal.
The youth of America-the
young men and the young women
upon whose shoulders will rest the
burden of carrying on our civiliza-

JOHN W|LLYS, AUTO
PIONEER, DEAD AT 81
Manufacturer SuCCumbS to
Heart Attack in East.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 26-John
North WHY'S, pioneer automobile
manufacturer and former ambas-
sador to Poland, died early today
Of heart disease.
Death came painleSSly. He was
semi-conscious but partly paralyzed
His wife and daughter, Mrs. Jose
De Landra, were at his bedside
Friends announced funeral services
had not been arranged, but said
they would be private.
Mr.. WHY'S was 81. His career was
typical of rising American indus
trialism. He began business as a
bicycle salesman, purchased the
Overland Automobile Co. during the
panic of 1907 on a shoestring, and
within few years was a million
aire.

must decide the validity of the
challenge. 1t means comparative
ly little to the elders of this
country
TINE issue of individualism was
IL drawn in the two speeches.
President Roosevelt urged the
youth of the nation not only to
maintain "the best of your hertz
age, but to labor to lift from the
shoulders Of the American people
some of the burdens that the mis-
takes of the past generation have
placed there"
The depression taught the cOun-
try, he said, that the American
spirit of individuaIsm" can not
stand, in the face of grave eco
nomic EMBELLISHMENTS, all alone
and unhelped by cooperative eff
forts Of government. ="
Individual enterprise should not
be abandoned, he said, adding
that the freedom and opportunity
that have characterized Ameri-
can development in the past can
be maintained if we recognize the
fact that the individual system of
our day calls for collaboration of
all of us TO provide, al least, Sc
curity for all of us"

the best way to catch squirrels to
last Sundays polo game-with
perhaps a few shady stories
thrown in for good measure. But
out of the meeting will evolve a
pretty clear plot and method
for treating it.
Hollywood writer's are divided
into two claSSeS-those under
contract to a studio and those
working by assignment only. The
former draw from 5000 to $4,000
weekly, the latter from 500 to
$4,000 a story.
Naturally, there are only a few
in the higher brackets-among
them Frances Marion, Bess Mere
dyth, Robert Riskin, Arthur Gaze
sar, Gene Markey, John Monk
Saunders, Howard Estabrook,
Jane Murfn, Allen Rivkin, Will
liam Slavens McNutt.
These are all tri-talented scrlv-
eners, equally good at turning out
original stories, scenarios; or dia-
log. Consequently, when one
writes an original. either alone or
in collaboration with another, he
or she usually does the scenario,
too.
THIS consists of breaking down
i a story into scenes, camera
setups, and detailed action. They
also write additional dialog II
any is needed. And each of them
is earning anywhere from $4,000
to S150,O00 yearly.
The average scenario contains
between 270 and 325 scenes and
requires from one to nine months
to write. A script for an ordinary
program picture of 270 scenes
usually is turned out in a month.
Scenarios for the longer Spe-
Gals, such as China Seas" take
considerably more time, as they
are expected to be of higher
quality.
After a scenario is completed
and okayed by the producer,
about so copies are distributed to
the players, director, business
manager, cameraman, set design
er, costume designer, technical ad-
wiser, property department, assist
ant director, script girl, casting
director, and the advertising and
publicity heads.
Eacn of the group is specifically
associated with the picture and
for that reason must be thor
oughly familiar with every phase
of it before and during its pro-
duction.

Will was doing roping act in
New York when Buck found him
and brought him over to the Fol-
lies, much to the disgust of his
partner, Flo Ziegfeld.
Buck put him on in The Mid
night Frolic,' paying Will SITS a
week. He had no lines except an
occasional gag to fill up a stage
wait when he snarled his rope.
The act went. but it was no
world-beater, and ziegfeld still
objected.
Have you fired your cowhand
yet?" he asked Gene Buck a week
later. All right, then you can
take his salary out of your royal
ties. He doesn't even brush his
hair"
Finally. to pep up the act. Buck
suggested that Will increase his
gag lines and get new ones every
two or three days.
You know what I'd like to do?"
said Will. picking up a thumbed
and dirty newspaper. I'D like
to make gags right out of this
here paper. about the things peo-
pie are talkin' and readin' about"
Buck was little hesitant. He
never allowed actors to spring
spontaneous lines, for fear they
would offend the audience. Never
theleSS. he tried Will out. And
that was the beginning OF Will
RogerS'S career as humorist news
commentator.
TWO men associated with
Il Washington knew Will
Rogers almost as we'll as any one.
One was Eddie Bowling, and the
other Vice President Garner.
Bowling recalls that in his early
days on the road. VIII would never
trust banks. He always bought
postal money orders and sent them
10 himself.
After leaving Broadway for
Hollywood the first time, Will was
persuaded to come back by the
Shuberts. WHO paid him $4,000 a
week to start their new vaudeville
circuit at the Crescent Theater in
Brooklyn.
Wills first day was an awful ex-
perience. He never got a laugh.
Making up in the same dressing
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-08-26

room with Bowling, he told Eddie
that if he ever again found the
knack of making an audience
laugh he would never stop talking,
even if he had to play every bene-
fit in America to keep in practice.
Every night for several years,
Will and Eddie Bowling would
meet at Dinty Moore's after per-
formances, where the Broadway
down-and-outers lined up nightly
waiting for Will to pass by. He
never forgot them.
TWILL was a gypsy" says
w Jack Garner of his old
friend. He was the most lovable,
irrepresSible gypsy that ever
played one-night stands.
He had played every little
theater in the whole United
States. and he remembered the
exits and the stage doors as if he
had been in them only yesterday.
1T was in his blood. and he
kept wandering. He turned UP at
naval conferences and World
Series, at political conventions and
Pan-American parleys. and his sa-
gracious humor contributed to
their success.
1t was the gypsy in Wills blood
that sent him to his tragic death
in the wasteland of Alaska
I'm glad says Eddie Dowl-
ing. that Will died in a remote
place among humble, sincere
people For along with the fun
he brought to millions. his true
greatness lay in his sincere desire
to remain an unspoiled, humble
philosopher"
One other in Washington once
knew Will Rogers intimately, the
late Harry Rogers, a newspaper
man and cousin of the famous
humorist. He used to tell the story
of how he lived not far from Will
Rogers family, and his mother
constantly warned him:
Keep away from that Rogers
gang. They've got Indian blood
in their veins"
Harry Rogers died penniless and
alone.

= PERSONS thyroid gland may be neither over
n active nor underactive. and yet there are other
conditions affecting this organ that can produce Seri-
Gus results.
For instance the tissues within the thyroid gland
sometimes become affected by disturbances of growth.
Nodules FORM giving enlarged and ugly appear
ance to the tissues. These noduleS are caused by
overdevelopment of some of the gandular tissues
within the thyroid.
The most dangerous condition is the development
of cancer of the thyroid. The moment such posi-
bity detected, the entire gland should be removed
Immediately.
AS in other tissues. cancer of the THYROID varies.
In some cases the cancer grows rapidly, and IN TACT
DESTROYS life almost before anything can be done
If the malignant tumOr is retained within the
gland itself operation offers a hope Of successful re-
moval When the cancer grows outside into the
neiGhboring tissues the operation is much more eX-
tensive. mutilating and dangerous.
A FTER a cancerous goter is removed. it is Gus
n tomary TO treat the tissues with the X-ray, with
a view to destroying such glandular material as has
rot been removed by the knife
There are other cases in which the thyroid gland
becomes infected and infamed The treatment OF
infection Of the thyroid gland is naturally like the
treatment of infections elsewhere in the body.
Persons with infection must be given every posi-
BILE opportunity TO by being put to bed their

this method Of treatment Will sometimes bring about
a CON- letely successful result.

A NATOMISTS have found certain persons who

GAlLCA NOAA III AL NANAAs
The first gamble taken by
producer is buying a story. It's
the foundation for his whole pro-
duction. So, if his judgment is
right, the film has a fair chance
OF being a success. But if he's
wrong-that's just too bad.
There are three principal
sources of screen stories-stage
plays. books, and originals. Re-
spectively, they furnish about 20,
40, and 40 per cent of picture
material.
Studio scouts scan every Broad
way show in hope Of finding a
suitable screen vehicle. They
might even hop to Buffalo, Phila-
Gelphia, or wherever the play is
having its trial run if good adj
vance reports have leaked out.
WHEN a play comes from the
w brain of topnotch play
wright, film producers usually
scramble for it even before re-
hearSals are started.
Screen rights to plays bring
anywhere from $4,000 to S11G,-
900. with only proved successes
such as Dinner at Eight" and
"Dodsworth" being in the top
brackets. Consequently, if a play
wright feels he has a hit" he
usually ducks movie negotiations
until the show has proved itself.
For gathering material from
the second source, books, all
studios maintain reading depart
ments of from 10 to Is peoples.
Their operating methods may
be seen by glancing at the Twen-
tieth Century-Fox department.
The readers make three Synopses
of each book.
The first contains the entire
plot in single concentrated
paragraph. The second synopsis
is three paragraphs long and con-
tains a more detailed outline of
the plot The third one, dealing
briefly with character types and
telling the story in detail, runs
about four pages.
All the single paragraph synop-
Ses are sent to Daryl Zanuck,
studio production chief. If one
appeals to him, he sends for the
second synopsis. If still inter-
ested, he reads the third. Then
if he thinks he has material for
a picture, he reads the book.
IN the third division, original
IL stories. the treatment varies.
All originals submitted on specu-
lation receive the same treat
ment as books.
Most originals. however, are
written on assignment. If a pro-
ducer has an idea. he assigns a
writer to develop it. Or, if a
story is needed for a star, one or
more writer's are assigned to
grind it out.
In most instances. rough out
lines for original stories are de-
veloped in story conferences of
the producer and writer's. A
transcript of the conversation in
one of these conferences is much
funnier than anything any of the
participants can write.
