NEW YORK, December 17.-Elmer

himself upon the woes of being a W.

"All announcements of dates on

the regional director Of the Federal
theater project.
"At present, if we want a teakettle
or dozen thumb tacks we have to see
Washington about it. I don't want to
take the rap for the bureaucratic ma

now If they had given me a free

out of Washington.

Rogers and Notable Cast
Supporting Him Film
Excellent Picture

Described in advance accounts
from Hollywood as the finest to
date of Will Rogers notable series
of American character portraits,
the Fox Film production, "The
County Chairman" will be shown
at the Carolina next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
"The County Chairman" is
screen adaptation of the famous
play of the same title, by one of
Americas foremost humorists,-
George AIDE. Opening on Broad
way in the year 1902, "The Coun-
ty Chairman" ran there for a year
with Maclyn Arbuckle as it's star
and then toured for the next three
seasons. In addition to the celeb
rity which it brought to Arbuckle,
the play created another star of
the era-Willis P. Sweatnam, who
appeared in the famous role of
"Sassafras," colored man-of-all-
work. In the screen play, Stepin
Fetchit is seen in this notable
part.
''The County Chairman" it is
said, is a story of smiles and heart
tugs, rivalling the hugely success
full Judge Priest" and "David
Harum" as a vehicle for Rogers.
In the new film he is seen as a
willy, lovable county boss, half
diplomat, half-rustic. He wins
elections and arranges love match
es with equal skill-and no one,
not even his rivals, can resist him.
s John Blystone has directed the
, picture, with Edward w. Butcher
listed as producer, and the adap-
tation from George AIDES play has
been made by Sam Hellman and
Gladys Lehman.
A notable supporting cast in
cludes such players as Evelyn
Venable, Kent Taylor, Louise
Dresser, Berton Churchill, Mickey
Rooney, Frank Melton and Stepin
Fetchit:
Once again, it is stated, Will
Rogers displays his recently de-
veloped flair for singing in this
Spicture. You will recall his must
cal propensities in Judge Priest"
This time he renders an old-time
western rangers song, accom-
panying himself on the guitar.
Another highlight of sThe County
Chairman" is one of those famous
torchlight professions so much IN
vogue. at the turn of the century.
This one is staged by Will and is
said to have all the frenzy and
thrill of it's originals.
You mustn't miss Will Rogers,
the inimitable. in "The County
Chairman" You'll love him more
than overland no one can say
more than that!
