The streets are all named, and
the studios numbered. The studio
buildings look like airplane han
CARS and are large enough to
accommodate any number of sets.
The smaller buildings and props,
when not in use, are kept in lots
and filed according to name and
number, just as we keep our office
filing case.
Today we drove through the
beautiful Twentieth Century-Fox
grounds and passed a wnite-pil-
Jared old colonial home, then a
real train of cars sitting on the
lawn, a Chinese village, quaint
New England and rural homes
even a weeping willow alongside
a solemn little group of tomb
stones. It is easy to lose ones
self in such maze, but of course,
visitors are never permitted to go
about without an escort, and the
escort must have a pass.
When we arrived at the office
Of the affable Harry Brand, di-
rector of publicity, he asked us
to meet the new and beautiful
featured Miss Helen Wood.
DRAMATIC ABILITY
Miss Wood is one of the
prettiest young girls we have ever
seen and combines that pleasing
quality of modern spirit with the
rare and somewhat mythical ro-
nautical tradition Of the Old
South.
She was born in the little town
Of GAINESVILLE, Tennessee, and
educated in private schools. From
her infancy she says she always
wanted to be an actress, but be-
cause she was afraid people would
laugh at her, she kept it a secret.
Her associates, however, were
always impressed with her beauty
and her dramatic ability, and she
was the first queen of the football
team on the occasion of the big
rival games.
When we asked her how she
happened to come to Hollywood,
she laughed and said:
81 know you will laugh when I
tell you / won a beauty contest.
1t was not the usual beauty con-
test with bathing suits. My mother
would never let me take part in
anything like that, but this was
one sponsored by the Federation
Of WOmen's Clubs, and the girls
wore formal evening gowns. 1 was
so surprised when they gave me
the first prize-and think of it
a round trip ticket to Hollywood
and all expenses for mother and
me-"
Samuel Goldwyn saw her picture
in a Hollywood paper and sent for
her. The outcome of that visit was
a place in Eddie Cantor's Roman
Scandals" After that she was Of
fered a contract, but that one
picture was enough to teach Helen
lot Of things, principally the i'm
portance of preparation, so she
went back home to finish school.
When she graduated from high
school, she sent an announcement
to Samuel Goldwyn, and he count
cred by return mail with another
contract, so again, when she was
II, she returned to Hollywood.
She has had number of good
parts and was given a longtime
contract by the Twentieth Century
Fox studios.
SOCIETY GIRL TYPE
Helen is the typical society girl
type and has an exquisite, charm
ing manner all her own. Her hair
is rich bronze-chestnut, her eyes

STUDENT COMPLAINS
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS Falr1aX:
"I'm a high school student,
and have to work very hard to
make my grades. AS soon as va.
cation comes, my father makes
me work, although he is very
comfortably off, and could af.
ford to let me have a little rest.
He just saves and saves, and
never spends.
I'm only Is, and I think work
ing till six or seven o'clock every
night is pretty terrible. Where
work see very few friends,
so this makes the work harder.
And I'm so tired, feel as if
I'm going to have a nervous
breakdown. Don't you think
this is a pretty poor way to start
school and make good grades?
'sR"
If your father is well-to-do and
can afford to let you have a
vacation before school opens, I'll
agree it's a pretty hard PROPOSE
ton to jump from work into the
classroom, and then be expected
to make good grades. Why don't
you talk it out with him, and
get him to let you have a little
rest from now till the school
opens?

I think his affections have been

"He IS constantly praising her

"Once friend asked me if 1 was
jealous, but 1 just laughed and
quoted: "AnOther woman now and

A LOT OF WORDS

John d. NJ Hamilton, chairman OF
the Republican national committee
and chief strategist for Governor ALT
M. Landon. in his bid for the pres
idency, seemed to have made hit
when he appeared in st. Paul Monday.
He was proclaimed by one writer as
brilliant, aggressive, forceful and
astute. He may have the stage pres
ence and he may be quite an orator,
he may even be good looking, but
what does he and his man Landon
stand for and who do they represent?
Governor Landon in his recent ac-
oeptance speech was indefinite and
raised more questions than he settled.
They talk about his having liberalized
the Republican party. How about

Publisher Hearst, the Du Points, does
anyone believe they would allow the
nomination of Landon for the presi-
dency if they did not consider him
safe to their interests? And how
about the oil men, packers, bankers,
and other great financial interests?
Governor Landon, like the national
committeeman. may also be a pretty
good speaker, but where does he stand
on economic issues?
Talking about Landon's acceptance
speech, Governor Green of Rhode
Island said: He steered shy of the
tariff. He made wide detour around

Olympiad.
Although sports nominally should
have nothing to do with international
politics, the American delegation to
the Olympic Games which opened q
few days ago at Berlin, has injected
politics into its participation. While
delegations from all other countries
dipped their flags when passing by
the swastika-flag bedecked reviewing
stand on the opening day, the Amer
leans refused to do that. If they had
openly said that they would not salute
the German national flag because
they wanted to protest against certain
of Adolf Hitler's policies, that could
have been understood as a manly
however futile-act. Instead they
sought refuge in regulation to the
effect that the American flag must
be dipped only before the president
of the United States. That is true in
the case of army parades and the
like. The American Olympic delega-
ton consists of young civilians who
are not bound by army regulations.
Whether one likes Hitler and his
new flag or not, is, in this case, i'm
material; the fact is that the swastika
flag is now the national emblem of
the German republic and officially
recognized as such throughout the
world. International courtesy de-
mands that on occasions such as this
where an American delegation is
the guest of Germany-the national
flag of Germany be saluted in the in
ternationally prescribed manner. AS
it was, the American demonstration
fell completely flat, for it served
merely to emphasize the Oft-repeated
suspicion that Americans when
abroad like to make their own rules
and regulations. These things cannot
be done, and most certainly they are
not conducive to the fostering of
friendship between two great nations.
1t would have been a far more effec-
tive demonstration for the Americans
to remain away from Berlin alto
gether. Then the world would have
sat up and taken notice.
Now, it merely guffaws-and goes
on with the game.

Worker is MainStay

The worker may not be show
cred with glory, loud shouting,
flag waving, and so forth, but he
is more important than the war
rior. The worker cannot be
blamed if he asks the fighting
man to get out of the way so that
he can go on with his work. The
one produces, maintains and
builds, while the other destroys.
An editorial along the line Of
these thoughts appeared in The
St. Paul Daily News under the
caption Civil War;" and follows:
In The Daily News Wednesday was
a revealing sidelight on the civil war
in Spain, dug up by newspaper cor
respondent who was trailing a re-
treating army across the country.
Stopping at little farm to get a
drink. the correspondent asked a
peasant which side he was.
The peasant said bluntly that he
was on neither side. He only hoped
that both sides would get the fighting
over with and go home, so that he
could go ahead with his job of getting
the crops in.
This peasant probably was vice.
fully undereducated person with no
understanding of the great issues of
the day. But he did manage to voice
humanity's age-old complaint against
war-it gets in the way of the work
that has to be done.
He has had brothers on every bat
tie field in all history. To them
armies and battles are an unmitigated
nuisance and the work of the world
would go forward a lot faster If they
were abolished.
And although 1t may be heresy to
suggest it, these people probably are
quite right.
Human civilization is a strange
growth, and we do not entirely un-
derstand how it got started or how II
does manage, in spite OF obstacles. to
keep progressing; but it is clear that
its base is the worker and not the
warrior, the man who produces rather
than the man who destroys.
Civilization does not rest on base
of armies and navies; it rests on the
backs of the men who work with their
hands, in field or in shop, and it will
last just as long as they go on hold
ing it up. They are greater process.
