Your Needs

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. IL.
Wanta be a film actress?
Here's what you should possess:
Cd Ability to react naturally
to situations.
ca Personality charm.
Cd Intelligence to acquire tech
nique
a. And the experience neces-
Sary to perfect all of these.
This simple home acting test"
was given today by Edmund
Goulding, famous Metro oldwyn-
Mayer screen director, whose rise
has been by way Of acting, writ
ing, singing, composing and
dancing.
IF an actress lacks the first
trait she should give up; other
wise her performances never will
be sincere" he said. Without
the second, one can hope rarely
for better than character roles.
There is no halfway mark for the
third; intelligence is either there
or it isn't. If the fourth fails to
produce results, it is because the
girl lacks some Of the other requi-
sites"
The first point, Goulding as
serted, Is by no means technique,
but an ability to place ones self
in any situation and react as
would the character being por.
trayed.
'Too many players fail be-
cause they have too much tech
nique and not enough natural
ability" Goulding said. '"The
first type may be called o ham
the latter never can be.
when a born actress goes
into a scene she knows there
Is only one way to act. Those
who experiment with moods are
only trying out their knowledge
Of technique.
"Take an example from life.
Something happens to us. After.
ward we say: If I had that to
do over again, I'd do it differ.
entity We wouldn't. We'd do
the same thing If thrown into
the same situation again with
out warning.
with that ability to react
naturally, the great actress uses
technique only in defining what
her character is like, for all types
Of people react differently.
IF you line up 10 persons and
slap each one, you'd have 10 diff.
ferent reactions. You might have
before you a coward, a bully, a
Snob, a radical, a meek person, a
brave one, a fiery-tempered soul, a
great executive, an imbecile and
a drunkard. You can't expect
them all to do the same. A great
actor becomes the person he plays
and acts accordingly"
Goulding explained his person
atty requisite by declaring the
screen is pictorial and audiences
demand personality charm" In
telligence, he said, absolutely is
necessary. Experience will come if
the girl has the other three traits.

could understand. For the

in a whisper.
Acting on the screen is
like a good rehearsal for a

The actress admits to me,

GraUediggers Fail on
JOb-TOO Much Beer.

Forest Lake-A chance visit by an
undertaker's assistant to the cemetery
an hour before the burial was to take
place saved a good deal of embarass-
ment to the funeral party, when he dis
covered that two men sent out to dig
the grave had not even started work
The men had taken key of beer along
to keep cool while digging. They had
sat down before starting their work to
talk, they explained later. Time just
flew, and so did the beer-right down
their Threats. They soon forgot what
they were sent to the cemetery to do.
They read epitaph after epitaph. They
had foot race. Time passed until the
undertaker's assistant arrived with the
burial equipment. He found two high
ly polluted" men, but no open grave.
-Four sober men were engaged to dig the
grave in a hurry. The burial took place
exactly on schedule. The two grave
diggers sobered up the next morning
and both took time off to go fishing
and forget-or let the people forget
what transpired the day before.

Petty Grafters Pose as
Old Age Pension Men,

New Richland-A mighty raw but
petty pair of grafters worked New
Richland last week, and their names
should go down perhaps as the smallest
and meanest chiSelers in history. APP
preaching William Tetzloff, 82-year-old
gentleman, as he was walking down the
street, the two men stated they were
connected with the state in the cap
acity of Old Age Pension investigators,
and produced blanks which they pro-
ceeded to fill out as they asked ques-
tons. They informed Tetzloff that the
state was making plans to increase all
pensions $40 per month, and it was
their duty to secure additional informa-
ton from each of those now receiving
pension. After completing the blanks,
they told him that each pensioner was
required to pay small sum to defray
the expense of postage and other items
and asked for 80 cents. Their victim
told them he didn't have the change
and offered so cent piece. They took
this and then asked him if he didn't
have some paper money with him
Tetzloff drew out two one dollar bills
and as he sought to separate them
one of the men grabbed both bills while
his companion started the car. Because
of poor eyesight, Tetzloff was unable tt
get the license number of the car, an6
his description of them is vague. He
thought they were about 40 years old
both well dressed.

Parrot Talks in TlUO
Tongues, Laughs, Sings.

Detroit Lakes-So you no Speka da
Spanish, Ell? Well, that's all right too,
because Lorita, 15-year-old wordly-wlse
parrot pet of Edward Ranger of Detroit
Lakes can speak English just as well,
although she prefers her native tongue.
Hailed as the most cosmopolitan parrot
in existence, Lorita has visited Europe,
South America, Central America, and
the West Indies. Highly educated, she
talks, sings, whistles, coughs, and speaks
two languages. Most of her time Is
spent in wl1istling boat calls-calls for
mess and watches-which she learned
while on board ship. When she starts
to go in for some close harmony, she
usually picks anchor Aweigh" for her
selection. Abnormally large for a par
rot, Lorita tips the scales at about IL
pounds. Ranger, her owner an erst-
while seaman, purchased Lorita in 1928
from a native pet shop dealer in the
Panama Canal Zone.

Parachute Jumper
Gets TUO Thrills.

Grand Rapids Mickey Morgan, para
chute jumper de luxe, got new thrill
when he leaped from plane several
thousand feet above the field at Grand
Rapids during circus performance.
The first chute he opened failed to
carry him properly, splitting open, and
when he pulled the cord for the second
chute, the first one opened and dropped
across the lines, making few seconds
of quick work necessary. But the biggest
thrill was yet to come. Dropping safe
ly with the second chute after the
tangles were Strengthened out, Morgan
lit in the woods southeast of the air
port. What was his surprise when he
found that he had lit on top of a big
buck deer! The animal lost no time
in disappearing into the woods, leaving
Morgan on the ground.

Some 1900 first, second and
third class postmasters have
been placed under civil service
regulations by President Roose-
welt. This does not mean that
the postmasters now in must
undergo a civil service eXamin-
alton but refers to future APP
appointments only and practic-
ally cinches 1900 jobs for the
Democrats. If we mistake not,
the late President Wilson, did
the same thing and the order
was rescinded by the late Presi-
dent Harding. Congress can,
however, pass a measure to
make it stick. Civil service
rules now apply to the assistant
postmasters and the numerous
other divisions of the service.

Corn is Frozen
Last Days in July.

Ellendale-There were some tall tales
about the heat of July, but the strangest
comes from near Glendale, where a
five acre field of corn was frozen to
a crisp" the latter part of that month.
The thermometer took nose dive on
July 20 to around As above zero, but it
must have been colder than that on the
Joe Harry farm. Two days later it was
discovered that the field, which had
been coming along nicely and was of
excellent color, had all wilted down
from the frost. The field was ON a
low piece of peat soil, but it would have
seemed that the heat stored up in the
ground would have prevented any freez-
ing, even at quite low temperatures
Another unusual feature of the freezing
was the fact that the corn froze had
been planted the north and south way
of the field, while the corn that had
been planted east and west escaped
freezing, although in the very same
field and on the same level of ground

Not Going to Vote?
VIII Cost You Csc,

Faribault-Any voter who fails to
take advantage of his voting franchise
is literally throwing away anything
from a quarter toa half dollar. With
political interest now centering prim-
arily on the November elections, a
statistical study of Rice county election
costs shows that the average cost per
vote in that county in the primaries
was 35 cents This was on the basis of
a vote of 7,130, and with an anticipated
vote of around 1000 in November, it
is expected to pull down the cost to
around % cents, with expenses re-
manning approximately the same. AL
though the exact cost of the primary
can only be estimated, it was figured
that expenses were around $4,000. The
state furnishes some of the election
supplies. Printing and incidental costs
to the county ranged about $500.
Other expenses include pay for 100
officials in the county, cost of the can
wasting board in session three days,
mileage of election officials, rent in some
precincts for voting space, lighting, and
incidental supplies.

Farmers Boast Tempts
Fate, Barley Destroyed.

Minneota-The cheerful farmer is
somewhat of an oddly in the North
west lately, and when one ventures a
satisfied comment on his crop cruel fate
laughs and slaps him right in the face.
Casper Van Adverse was telling the pro-
prietor of a Minneota store that his
Barley was the cleanest in years, and
even as he spoke, the fire siren blew.
1t was call for the Minneota fire de-
partment to put out fire in his field
of barley, waiting for the thresher.
Van Altworst's pardonable boast cost
him eight acres of barley shocks.

WPA WALk0UT
Terminated
Workers on the Fernberg Road
Receive Satisfactory Wage
Adjustment Saturday.

Following wage cut on the WPA
road building job on the Ely-Fernberg
highway the first Monday in August,
twenty-six men laid down their tools
and came to the city to protest the cut
which took them from an industrial
classification and placed them on the
agricultural basis with a decrease in
wages.
The men were st. Louis county men
and were receiving the industrial basis
of $50 per month. The agricultural basis
on which they were placed the first of
the month cut their pay to SAB per
month. The work was being done in
Lake county and the agricultural basis
of pay prevails in that county.
The matter was referred to the WPA
authorities in Duluth and st. Paul and
Saturday notice was received that the
crew be put back to work and that the
basis of pay be at 5000 per month in
stead of the $55 per month they were
receiving before the cut.
1t is understood that camp has been
established near the work and that the
men will pay $3.50 per month as their
share of the board bill. Under the
previous $55 a month pay they were
compelled to board themselves and as
ali were residents of this city, they paid
81 per month each for transportation to
and from the work.
The new rate is satisfactory and the
crew reported for work Monday morn
ing in a body. The foreman on the
Job stated that this is one of the best
crews among the several working on
forestry projects and their return to
work assured the department of excel
lent workmen. Forester Iigat is in
charge of the Fernberg district for the
government and he is very much
pleased with the turn of affairs.

Abdomen Punctured In
10 Places, Boy Lives.

Coleraine abdomen punctured in
ten places by the accidental discharge
of a rifle, 11-year-old Donald Caverly,
son of Monson Caverly of near Remor,
is recovering in the Itasca hospital
Against the advice of his elder brother
he was carrying the rifle as he rode on
a hay rack in his fathers hay field, oc-
caSionally picking off a gopher. The
gophers got a rest when the rifle
slipped down through the tines of the
hay rack and discharged straight
into young Caverly's body. It was
thought he would bleed to death be-
fore he could be gotten to the hospital
but his courageous fight seems to be
pulling him through so that he should
live to shoot more gophers.

Granite Falls-A sharp crash of light
ming that lifted residents of Granite
Falls half way out of their chairs, was
thought to have caused no damage until
four days later. At that time Irwin
Falk found that the belt had struck
mighty close to home-in fact had
entered the kitchen of the home in
which he was living. In the process of
moving the furniture out of the house,
Falk found that the lightning had
burned hole into the kitchen, two
holes through a copper boiler, each as
big as an apple, and then had travelled
down metal fishing rod and smashed
the steel to pieces.

Up to the time this is put in type, the

Hundreds of Bats,

Red Wing-The mystery of the dying
bats in Red Wing has been cleared.
Hundreds of the dreaded animals were
being found dead in streets and lawns,
and it was popularity believed that they
were dying of starvation because of the
drouth. No such thing, says William
H. Gradner, Red Wing naturalist. The
bats are dying of over-eating. THAT
bats are dying from starvation is a mis-
taken theory" Gardner stated. "They
really are dying from being over
stuffed. The myriads of slim, dark
moths or millerS that swarm around the
electric lights of night are fatal to bat
life. A close inspection of the dead
bats show that they are not under
