Babylon, when everybody In the cab
aret scene rushed back from lunch
each day for half hours impromptu
revelry on a set where they were dane
ing professionally from 9 in the morn
ing until at night.
You won't see Lloyd Lewis. who IS
nobody's fool when writing biographies
and pieces for the Chicago Daily News,
resuming for half an hour an inter
rupted interview with Rex Ingram,
who plays the Lord, and finally dis
covering to his amazement that this
time is wasn't the Lord, but his
stand-in.
You won't see the baby cherub who
was to fall in the brook at the fish
fry. The scene was written, the baby
cherub did fall in a brook filled with
warm water, with a nurse standing
on the bank with blankets and
change of clothing. The cherub
chosen was very small and given to
crying on any occasion. 1t was i'm
portant that she be seen crying as
other cherubs f1shed her from the
water. But the moment the cameras
started grinding was a signal for her
to turn on her friendliest smile.
Every form of tear provocation the
demons behind the cameras could in
vent was used to make her cry. She
was given cookie, placed in the
water, and then suddenly deprived
of the cookie. 1t was a very tempting
cookie, but, when snatched away, only
caused her to squeal with delight.
For hours. similar devices were in
f1icted with the hope that eventually
she would get little tired and per-
haps cry for that reason. But as the
day wore on, her good humor in
creased, until finally she was taken
from the water for the last time, hav-
ing frustrated every one present.
You won't see Rex Ingram putting
on and taking of the dozen kinds of
boards until We found the one that
was exactly right for De Lawd, spend
ing sometimes six and seven hours a
day in the makeup chair.
All of us connected with the pic
ture may in time forget the things
that amused and infuriated us during
the making of the picture.

the Pulitzer prize play, THE Old
Maid" will be presented.
EIGHT hundred will be accommo-
dated In this first Summer"
legitimate professional theater which
Mr.. Cochran hopes to put on par
with Glitch Gardens in Denver. The
latter, as you know, for years has been
the mecca for actors and tourists out
on theatrical rampage. 1t was here
that Donald Woods was whipped off
to Hollywood 1t was here that Dor
othy Parker found husband Alan
Campbell 1t was here that more
famous actors than you can shake a
stick at have had their fling.
Steve will turn his Maryland hill
side into such a venture. He will
take his former National Theater
Players out there in a bunch, plant
them on the farm, fatten them with
fresh vegetables and milk, rehearse
them within hailing distance of chick
ems, pigs and COWS, and watch them
recite ITO be or not to be" on hay
stack.
Here Leona Powers will be able to
make real love to the moon; Kathryn
Givney can soar to her customary
heights under the stars, and young
Edwina Wise, fresh from Max Cor
don's Pride and Prejudice" may
speak her young and tender words to
whatever village Romeo happens to
be passing by.
MISS POWERS, Miss Givney, Miss
N Wise, Howard Miller and Ray
mond Bramley are the first to be
signed to the cast of THE Old Maid -
When Steve gets around to it he will
interview others who wish to join the
company. At the moment, however,
he is in such state of building and
weaving that we tremble for those
who dare approach him and ask if
they might not play the role of a
butler in one or any play
Karl Nelson is to be the director
and that is especially good news, since
Mr.. Nelson is not only well-known to
Washington and Washington we'll
known to him, but it is no secret that
he and Guthrie McClintock together
combined to make The Old Maid
the success that it was on Broadway.
With this directing knowledge up his
sleeve Mr.. Nelson should make this
first Darby Farm" venture an out
standing success as well as all the
other plays he may choose to do.
ETHEL BARRYMORE, Roland
Young, Helen Menken, Florence
Reed, Roger Pryor and possibly Ed
ward Arnold are few of the celebri-
ties who have promised Steve that if
he needs them they will come pronto
up to his hillside. And other celebri-
ties who may be temporarily shaking
the dust of Broadway or Hollywood
off their feet have signified their in
tention of treking to Maryland if the
call comes at the right time.
So new theater venture makes its
appearance, and the city already is
agog with it. Every potential Juliet
is combing out her hair Every Hamlet
is looking for his black tights. Every
Mae West is trimming herself down.
1t looks like merry undertaking
when Uncle Steve gets going-and we
wish him the best of luck.

Budget Balancers-Republican
And Democratic

1t is amusing how the over-zeal-
Gus anti-New Deal press and presi-
dent-makers of the country are
booming the budget-balancing rec
ord Of Governor Landon of Kansas,
all the while ignoring the much su-
perior record of Governor Paul "
McNutt Of Indiana, Democratic
friend of President Roosevelt.
Kansas puts out the news that
property taxes have been cut by 80
percent Indiana can boast of a
general 35 percent reduction since
Governor McNutt took office. The
Indiana cut in farm taxes has been
so percent. Kansas brags that
bonded Indebtedness has been re-
duced for political subdivisions by
s21, 100000 since 1892; Indiana
can show cut in bonded debt
which soon will amount to $780,
100000 since 1882. Kansas has a
100000 state debt. Indiana has
none. Kansas has state general
fund property tax levy of 14.4
cents per 800; Indiana has 465
cents general fund tax.
In balancing the state budget,

Governor Landon permitted the fed
eral government to assume practi-
calIy the whole burden in taking
care of the states destitute. On the
other hand, Indiana, which has the
better record of fiscal management
in all affairs, contributed 35 percent
of the money necessary to feed and
clothe her destitute citizens. This
percentage is one of the highest
shown by any state in the union
and her relief administration under
Governor McNutt has been cited as
a model for the nation.
In Kansas there are many dis
tricts where public schools are clos
ed. School teachers throughout
Kansas have forfeited one-fifth OF
their salaries to the Landon PEN
chant for a balanced budget. Pub
lie officials throughout the state are
on reduced salaries.
The rundown condition of state
institutions is reliably reported to
be deplorable in Kansas. That is
the price Kansas citizens must pay
for the economy record made by
this wealthy oil man who is gov
ernor.
Everyone knows the school story
of Indiana. Not a school door has
been closed-salary money for ev-
cry teacher-no standards sacr1-
feed, yet 100000 of economies
introduced. Indiana, as shown by
the recovery business chart, is pros
porous. Kansas is one of the black
states on the business recovery
chart
Yes, compare the McNutt and
Landon records. What a pity that
true facts are kept hidden by par
tisan politicians and selfish inter-
ests in order, as of old, to keep peo-
pie in ignorance of the truth.-C. f.

orderly who had formerly been a
cavalryman sprang into the saddle
and wheeling his horse brought 1t
near the wall just as the captain
had gained the top of it, he did a
Tom Mix landing behind the order
ly and away they went under per-
feet hail of shots from the natives
who appeared from the forest.
Soon arriving at c., they decid-
ed to await for daylight, as the
captain knew that as soon as the
horse returned riderless that a
searching party would start out,
and he guessed that we would take
the short cut across by the trail.
Early next morning, he, with the
mounted detail was just ready to
start when they heard firing and
realized we were in for it.
AS we were forming for the re-
turn march, sergeant came up to
me and said: "What's the matter
Rookie? You look rather mussed
up" I looked down and it was no

uniform was ruined, buttons torn
off the blouse, and the whole thing
ripped by thorns and covered with
mud, and to make matters worse
the front Of my uniform as we'll as
hands and MY rifle was smeared
with blood. In my eagerness Of
trying to get my first "Gugu' / had
laid my head close to the sight
when firing, and forgetting the re-
coil, had not held the rifle securely,
and my nose had received the full
benefit of the kick, but under the
excitement I had not noticed it.
Upon our return to camp | expected
to be bawled out, or at least to be
kidded, for my ignorance, but no
one mentioned it. However, the
next day at drill l was taught how
to remove shells from my belt by
pushing up on the point of them at
the same time 1 pulled on the top,
how to hold the rifle when firing to
the difference between service uni
form and barrack uniform. / was
told that when call came to as
Semble under arms at night it US
ually meant long hike and perhaps
several days absence, fighting, hik-
ing, etc., SO they dressed for the
trail without question, as a few days
in the jungle made a uniform look
like a Hawaiian grass suit.
While this was my first test of
discipline, and my first scrap, there
soon followed mounted detail
which furnished plenty Of new
thrills; also there was my first
night on sentry duty which proved
to me that a recruit can be really
scared and still have to remain on
post.
Since those far distant days
have served in another war, in an
other country, have looked at mat
ters from the standpoint of nom
commissioned as we'll as a commits
stoned officer, but I believe that the
most lasting impressions of my
years of service have been those of
a rookie in the Philippines.

Relates Army Experiences

In last Sundays Columbus Dis

some length written by Major Floyd
E. Walcott, Columbus, in which he
as a rookie soldier, tells of his ex-
perience during the Philippine in
surrection. The article also carried
the picture of Mr.. Walcott, who for
several years made this place his
home, and was captain of old Com
pany M, at the time America enter
ed the World war. His wife was
Miss Franette Hart, granddaughter
Of the late Captain and Mrs. Hart,
who resided on Kennebec hill,
where Arthur Hambleton resides.
Major Walcott's article as it appear
ed in the Dispatch, is Of some
length, and we reproduce it in part.
The editors note states:
Japanese aggressions in Asia and
the plans to improve U. S. defenses
in the Pacific recall to mind the ex-
perience of Americans who enlisted
in the Philippine service at the turn
of the century. The following ar
