Dear Editor:
Nv friend, Colonel Mclaughlin,

the material things of life for
anyone to choose such a hard
way of livelihood and we all
have to admire one who makes
an honest effort to help himself.

COMPETITION IN BUSINESS

COMPETITION IN BUSINESS
Probably as good answer as any 10 tre
complaints so frequently heard ABOUT Siila'i
towns suffering from the business compe-
tition of larger places, is recorded oy ire
Spruce Pine News, which tells about two
merchants of that place selling their wares
in Asheville. The News has reached the
conclusion that appeals to small town prloe'
community interest, community spirit, ana
the like, are not effective in controlling
trade; that many people are influenced en-
tfrely by selfish and personal reasons III
placing their business; that they buy where
they buy because they believe it to their
financial or other advantage to do so. The
Spruce Pine newspaper believes that a
small town merchant who completes with
a city merchant in the latter's own conf
munity is giving demonstration that
ought to be convincing to the population IN
the small town merchants territory.
OF course there are just about as many
different views in regard to this matter III

HOLLYWOOD, September l6.-
Seven centuries ago the worlds great
est romance was livedl
Four centuries ago the love story
of the ages was immortanzed by
Shakespeare.
Today it pulses with life-its dra-
matte power undimmed by the pass
ing of time-its eternal truth more
brilliant-its heart appeal universal
Romeo and Juliet"
The force of this most famous OF
love stories, which has captured the
imaginations of millions for centuries
past and will continue to do so for
centuries to come, lies, in my opinion,
In its enduring human characters,
who live today as vividly as they did
then.
am enthusiastic over the vast po-
tentialities Of the screen as a medium
for presenting Shakespeare's master
piece, Romeo and Juliet" and I am
in Hollywood to lend literary advice
to the production, which will star
Norma Shearer.
OF the great love stories of the ages,
I may say three are paramount
Romeo and Juliet" Antony and
Cleopatra" and Tristan and Isolde"
Mark Antony was one of the three
lords Of the Roman Empire; Cleopatra
was a queen; Tristan and Isolde were
warrior and princess; but Romeo and
Juliet we're just noble youth and noble

maiden, with no history besides their
love. They were ordinary, everyday
boy and girl.
There are innumerable love stories
Of famous kings, knights and princes,
but Shakespeare chose love story in
its tensest human common denomina-
tor for Romeo and Juliet"
1t is a legend Of centuries ago, but
it could still happen today or centuries
hence-because it IS the essence Of
life itself.
am often asked: Can Shakespeare
be cut in adaptation for the screen?"
why not?" reply.
The dialogue is cut for stage per-
formances. I am interested in the
technical side Of writing for the screen,
although my knowledge is limited to
the screen as a medium of entertain
ment. But I can readily see and un-
derstand that changes will have to be
made.
The great scenes in Romeo and
Juliet" will have wider scope before
the camera than they have on the
stage. The possibility of filming the
ball room scene" the duel scene"
and the tomb scene" are unlimited.
The screen will show them more
vividly than the stage can.
The opening scene, for instance,
which is fight on the stage all on
one spot, will develop on the screen
into a riot menacing the peace of a
whole city. The feast at which Romeo
first meets Juliet will become a formal
entertainment. with the splendor be-
fitting a great noble of the Italian

BURLESQUE RE0PENS
WITH HESiTANT SHOW
Billy Arlington, the La Fonds
and Alexianna Put Merit Into
Bon Ton Girls"

IT Is difficult to judge the merits of
a show which is in something of
an embryonic state, just emerging in
frenzied fashion from frantic dress
rehearsals. as is the case with Bon
Ton Girls" which yesterday brought
gayety to the Gayety once again.
There are number of indications.
however. that the opening opera at
the Ninth street temple of mirth and
other things will shape up into some
thing better than an average bur-
lesque show. There are girls, couple
of whom are shapely and talented
There are comedians who know their
trade and it does not seem to matter
that most of the comedy material is
SO worn that the audience should
know the blackout gag as soon as
they hear the first three lines. They
still laugh; at least they laughed yes
terday. There also. are some novel
chorus routines, devised by frankie
Bryant, which need only line to per-
form them. The handsomely cos
TUNED ponies in Bon Ton Girls" may
never attain anything like perfection,
but they certainly will improve much
as they get the feel of their routines.
So it won't be long before this is
one of the better burlesque shows.

A Live-Wire Republican Party Needed

H. G. Wells in his final article on the American
Scene in Golfers declares that "a live wire Repub-
can Party is the most urgent need in the United
States This is true, and the Grass Rooters' con-
vention held in Springfield, ILL.,, recently has laid
the foundation for rejuvenated Republican party
despite contrary opinion by the New Deal" press
The Midwest Republicans have recognized that
need and although their efforts may accomplish
the fact Immediately it safely be predicted that
long before the next campaign is in full swing a
powerful party will emerge from the past crushing
defeat.
The reason given for the need of strong Re
publican party, the noted British author sees it.
is that if constructive, creative party is not avail
able to rescue the country from its mistakes fail
ure in government will leave the country by default
to 1.-The raucuous voices" the Longs and Renos and
Coughins and Gassaways. That would spell disaster
Accordingly, the authors view follows that a
Republican Party Of strong principles and definite
and appealing aims is needed-a party to which the
people can turn in confidence and trust.
Some people believe that the Republican party
was entirely disrupted following the last presden-
tal election however that is far from the truth 1t
has been biding its time, awaiting the mistakes
which will enable it to gain strength in spite of the
$4,SOO,0oo0O0 fund which generous Congress voted
to generous President to be distributed during the
next twelve or fifteen months to a people who are
expected to show their generosity at the polls.
The Republican Party is strong and its strength
will be keenly felt very After three years of
Democratic experimentation, it must be admitted
that the principles of the Republican party are
sound, and besides sound American dollar, include
economy in government, cooperation with business
budget, reduction in public debts and sound promo
ton of international trade and friendship. These
principles can apty be applied to the future without
experimentation-they are safe and sane.
