June Travis Hands Out Advice
To Girls on Keeping Fit

June Travis, feminine lead oppo.
site Joe E. Brown in "Earthworm
Tractors" now showing at the
Earle Theater, prescribeS an ath.
letic formula for school girls as
1.-The best way to keep healthy,
hearty, sane and beautiful all your
life" She says:
Learn q good, fascinating
outdoor game for every season
of the year, and stick to each one
you select until you learn it.
After that, keep on playing it
each season. Don't retire at the
ripe old age Of 20 or 30.
81 know this advice isn't i'm
practical, for 1 originally got it
from a 4O-year-Old woman who
had raised four children. She
told me it made for happy mar
ried life, too. And I've seen
countless examples. May Sutton
Bundy is one. After 30 years of
tennis, including seasons Of
world championship play, Mrs.
Bundy won another champion
ship out here, just to prove she
still could.
"My own seasonal games are
as follows: Baseball (SOftball,
now basketball, swimming and
hockey, in which / competed in
school; tennis and golf. I also
play badmintOn. Out here, in
California, season can be pretty
well mixed, and many Of these
sports are year-rOund.
cut I recommend clinging to
the seasonal idea, even here, be-
cause part Of the good a sport
does you is the enthusiasm you
and others bring to it. And that
goes by seasons.
''That is the reason am a
hearty believer in competitive

He Might Sell,
At That

Joe E. Brown has earned a
standing offer of job outside the
movie realm. He took a test and
filled out an application. The ap-
plication was approved, and First
National star, under the name of
]. E. Brown, was offered job.
It was to be salesman for a
tractor company in Peoria, III. The
okay on Browns application was
authentic and was made by the
home office without knowledge
that the ~. E. Brown" was the
comedy star.
It happened in this manner:
Brown, while filming his latest
First National starring vehicle,
"Earthworm Tractors" now at the
Earle theater, wanted to know
two things. AS demonStrator Of
tractors in scenes Of the picture,
he had to know how to drive one.
And as Alexander Bolts, blunder'
ing but indomitable salesman in
the famous stories by William Haz-
lett Epson, on which "Earthworm
Tractors" is based, he had to
know how to sell tractors.
Director Raymond Enright ar
ranged with local tractor distrib-
utor to give Brown demonstra-
ton and driving lessons. Joe him
self contacted a salesman, got
some lessons on tractor selling,
and then took a test which includ-
ed filling out the application. No
one concerned thought it would be
found by a clerk and sent through
to the home office.
"Earthworm Tractors" was
nearly completed when an amused
local agent brought Brown his
okayed application, along with q
note from a firm official.
