Prefers FootIights

I have been one Of those
who always have refused to
believe that the legitimate
theater could ever die, and I
still do believe that. By that
it shows signs of-well, let
us say-signs of sickness.
There can be no doubt. And
our one hope for reviving it
or even keeping it as an ex-
tensive as it is, is obviously
through the younger genera
tions. Because if the younger
generations continue to grope
as they are now, with no in
terest in and no experience
of the legitimate theater it
will have become defunct in
their minds, and therefore
in time defunct in practice.

Pleads For Stage

We are here today to con-
Germ ourselves with youth
and the theater, and I take
it to be a general appeal to
do anything which tends to
familiarize young people
with what seems to be a
shrinking institution.
I know I received a great
shock a few weeks ago in
Philadelphia where we were
playing Hamlet. Among the
many people I met was a
young lady who turned out
to be II, and she gave me
rather a shock by saying,
"What made you suddenly
take to the theater
And I said that I had been
attempting to practice the
theaters for at least Is years,
the motion pictures only for
the last four, and then she
said-this is what shocked
me: ''You know, this is the
first play I have ever seen
(laughter) and that young
lady was II years Of age in
the great city Of Philadelphia
and she had never been in
side of a legitimate theater
where she saw Hamlet of all
those to start with, and she
told me that it was the
"goods. (laughter) So we
gained one convert.
of course, we know how
familiar the youth Of today
is with the drama as ex-
pressed through the screen.
On the screen the youth Of
the world witnesses the
drama at an even earlier age
than ever our fathers saw in
the legitimate theater. They
are perfectly familiar with
all the names of the we'll
known stories through the
screen. But we do know that
taking the country by and
large, there is only a very
very small legitimate theater
in existence.

ponent of undressing for the
multitude Once she did il
for the burlesque baron
known as Minsky1 locally
she is best known as the
strip queen Of Ninth Street.
I know not what will hap
pen if Gypsy Rose Lee starts
shedding brassieres in a
manner to pass Mr.. Hays
vigilant Hollywood censor,
Joseph Breen, but I suspect
the answer will be found
on the cutting room floor
BurIesque Star
Nevertheless, the very
prospect moves Mahrics
Cred" Kann, Of Motion Pic
ture Daily, to utter a violent
protest. He is not swayed a
particle by Broadway repu-
tation; indeed he feels that
a revealing reputation is
SOmethino that HOLLYWOOD
should shun, like the con-
stantly irritating thought Of
an official United States
movie censor.
I think Mr.. Red Kann is
absolutely right. He does not
base his objection on the fact
that Gypsy Rose Lee comes
from burlesque or that she
is the headliner in the cur.
rent Ziegfeld Follies. He
merely believes that the
screen has no available frame
for an artist whose main ap-
peal is exposing the body
beautiful so far as the. law
allows.
Editor Kann has good
precedents to back him up.
He has, as a matter Of record,
the fact that Sally Rand
hardly made a slight dent in
the Hollywood picture. He
has also the knowledge that
Paramount paid $4,000 for
the motion picture rights Of
the bawdy "Sailor Beware"
and its dividend was a fea-
ture, in a deodorized version,
that never attained the Dig
nifty of a Washington first
run screen.
In the Headlines :
Mr.. Goldwyn might also
consider that Sally Rand OF
Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Corio
or the other leading ex-
ponents Of undress have never
been considered for an F
Street booking, or an engage
ment at the Earle, the only
vaudeville houses in this
jurisdiction. Their stages are
crying for headline attrac-
tiOns but I would like to be
present when Guy Wonders
even suggests to q n 9
Manager John j. Payette a
strip headliner. 4
So I ratify or second the
red-faced vote of Maurice
(Red) Kann. I know he has
the interest of the motion
picture industry deep in his
heart, since he makes a sweet
living by keeping his finger
on its pulse. They may steal
Gypsy Rose Lees jewels, but
Mr.. Kann believes Lloyd's of
London should pay for the
missing gems, not Holly.

Annie L. Rowland
Weds Mr.. Edwards

On December Is, at sik-thirty
o'clock in the evening, the home of
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Rowland of the
Bobbitt Community was the scene of
simple but beautiful and impressive
ceremony when their only daughter,
Annie Laurie, became the bride of
Talmadge Hight Edwards, of Raleigh.
The home was beautifully decorated
with green pine and tall white can
delebra, the only lights used through
out the ceremony being the soft glow
from white candles. The bride and
groom entered the living room unat-
tended and the wedding vows were
spoken before anDimpRevised altar, in
the presence of only the immediate
families and a few close friends of the
young couple. Rev. B. o. Merritt,
pastor of the BRIDE officiated, using
the ring ceremony of the Methodist
church.
The bride, very attractive blonde,
wes attired in a medium blue suit
with navy accessories and wore a
shoulder corsage of Talisman roses
and lilies of the valley.
Immediately following the ceremony
the young couple left for a wedding
trip to points unknown. After jan

Formal Garden of
Mrs. Kate Watkins
Is Complimented

Christmas decorations were much
more in evidence and on a more Ella
bOrate scale this year than ever be-
fore in Henderson, itut not any were
more impressive than the formal gar
den of Mrs. Kate Watkins on Winder
street with it's originality in lighting
and the natural beauty of the garden
Varied colored spot lights shed a
beautiful glow over the greens and on
two very attractively decorated
Christmas trees, while a large flood
light shed q soft light over much of
the garden. In the far recesses of the
garden cleaned three electric stars.
They were so ingeniously arranged
that they appeared to be anchored in
the armament. In addition to the
lovely lighting effects erected by Mrs
Watkins, nature added it's bit to the
beautiful scene Saturday night by
turning the full glow of a beautiful
moon.
Many people viewed the garden and
all were impressed with it's sheer, ma
tural beauty of it, as we'll as the de
corative art of Mrs. Watkins.
Mrs. Watkins has been an active
member of the Henderson Garden
Club for some years, and her garden
was not in competition for the prizes
offered by that club for the best de-
corations in the various classified
tons at Christmastide.

uary 1, they will be at home to their
friends at 100 Seawell Avenue, Ra-

The bride is the attractive daught-
er of Mrs. and Mrs. B. l.. Rowland, Of
the Bobbitt community She received
her education at Epson high school,
where she was salutatorian of her
class Since that time she has taken
a business course. She was very &C
tive in the social and church work
of the community and her sunny dis
position and pleasing personality have
won for her many friends.
The groom is the son of T. w. Ed
wards, of Franklin county. He re-
ceived his education at Epson high
school, and now holds position with
the Raleigh Linen Supply company
of Raleigh.
After the ceremony the brides
mother served sandwiches and coffee
