Baldwin has been in politics 40 years, almost 30 of them as mem Der of Parliament for the Bewdley division of Worcestershire. He has held most of the high Cabinet posts leading to the Premiership, and has spared enough time from politics to accumulate a fortune in the steel industry.
 It has been rumored that he plans to retire after the coronation of King Edward next year, but the direct political opposition may cause him to retreat to private life before that time.

SO Il jumped, Ell? Well - what
next? Will its jump carry 1t into
your creel, or is it going to twist
its nnny tail derisively and swish
on down the stream to the waiting
net OF q fellow Waltonite? That
depends on your skill, your know
ledge OF fish, and your equipment.
Lack OF ability accounts for
some OF the stories about the "big
fish that got away, but another
reason fishermen tramp home with
empty creels and bitter hearts is
their poor judgment in choosing
proper fishing equipment. Many a
glistening lure is a waste of good
money and a headache in the
making!
There's an old adage that, ITO
train jackass, you must first know
more than the jackass!" The same
thing is true in fishing. If you
want to catch fish, you must know
more than the fish - and knowing
more than a fish means that you
must understand the "fishy mind"
and know how to pit VOW kill
against its scaly cunning.
Fish take lures becau.

food They are attracted by shape,

Tending her crown in this years
Miss Sepia Detroit" contest. Miss
Walker made known officially her
intention to defend the title, which
she won last year, when at the
last minute she filed her applica-
ton for entranc, with the contest
manager for this years contest.
She then shot to the top of the list
ing, displacing Bertha Donaldson,
who led last week, by reporting
$500 votes.
The surprise development of the
contest this week was the wonder
full showing by Connie Byrd, young
est OF the contestants, who is right
on Miss Walkers heels for the sec
ond position. Miss Byrd had been
considered by observers as a dark
horse in the race, but her sensa-
t'onal showing last week has caus-
ed them to change their minds.
The standings of the first ten
girls are as follows: Odell Walker,
6S,300; Connie Byrd, $4,000; Ann
Fincher, $1,000, June Petiford,

that your lure is Tifeiike! See that
il looks like food, acts like food,
hobs, twists, wobbles and weaves
like food Then that big baby in
the shadows will come up and see
you sometime!"
Weather influences the fishy
palate, too - therefore you must
have a lure in your case that is
convertible in it's motion. If the
fish do not rise to a wobbler, make
a simple change in your bait -
and try a spinner What? Didn't
know there were lures like that?
Well, there are! Weesner' "Wee-
zel' is the original spinning or
webbing feathered minnow. 1t has

wiggle Iich are quickly inter-
changeat giving you two bats

either and it has IL different
color combinations. If your local
dealer doesn't stock the "Weezel,"
drop a liue to the Fishing Bureau
at 500 High Street, Lima, Ohio. md
they will tell you about it.
But viii fever you do, study our

Review of
celebrity House"
(By STAFF CRITIC)

On Monday, April 6, the Theatre
Associates made their stage debut
at the Lucy Thurman Y. w. c. A,
in Celebrity House, a play in
three acts written and directed by
willard Leon Gardner of Detroit,
and starring Eulalia Gaines, sis
ter of Joe Louis. The play was
presented again on Wednesday and
Friday nights.
Celebrity House" is a rather in
volved, leisurely-moving play, deal
ing with the love affairs and So
cial ambitions of the wealthy Wal
dron family. A combined melo-
drama and society play, it utilizes
three dramatic themes: the woman
with a past, the girl who is marry
ing to save the family home, and
the eternal triangle-only in this
play it is a quadrangle.
It's three themes do not converge
into a central point, nor is either
of them given any lasting empha-
sis through a subordination of the
others.
Celebrity House" was hand
somely mounted, it's one setting of
the luxurious living room of the
Waldron home radiating charm and
dignity and good living. The la
dies of the cast were attractively
gowned, Eulalia Gaines and Marie
Winetta Booth being especially
well dressed.
AS whole, Marie Winetta
Booths portrayal of the somewhat
frustrated Mrs. Miriam Waldorf
was good, but there were times
when Miss Booth was too casual
as in the scene where she confesses
to her lover that she is a woman
with a sullied past. However, she
has considerable poise and dignity
and a feeling for her part, all OF
which helped her over several OF
Wednesday nights rough spots
Robert Booth (as Clyde Waldron
typical wealthy play-boy) was east
/ ly the most convincing of the more
! important actors, with great facil'
ity for making the most of a very
humorous part. Susanna Booth
Gas Iris the maid) did fine piece
of acting and made a somewhat
| in
lively. Leonard Andrews (as the
desperate lover of Mrs. Waldron)
was a handsome and tempestuous
Carl Bradford, who frequently did
some very good acting. Harold
Smith Gas E d wor d Valid
ron was MISUNDERSTANDING and
suave. Bill Gordon Gas Gilbert
Larrymore) was sufficiently polish
ed. Vicki Waldron was competent
ly played by Evelyn Everett, vi
vacious and attractive young lady
Kenneth Johnson was Harold
Wright, a shy young bell-hop with
literary aspirations and in love
with Vicki. Rosa Reid was YER
satile and worldly-looking Mia
Talmadge.
Eulalia Gaines did not appear in
Wednesday evenings performance
in the stellar role of Mrs. Waldron
but did the part on Monday and
Friday. Wednesday, she was a
well-gowned Lady Hughes, ex-
hibiting ease of bearing and come
illness in her long lowered even
ing gown and silver slippers.
Others in the cast included Vera
Gardner, alternating with Evelyn
Everett in the role Of Vicki VALID
ron.
Celebrity House" is to be pre-
scented in Toledo shortly.
