Flat Tire Is
NOT So Funny
Bob Montgomery Thinks
Humor Is Great Stuff
Though.
Times Special

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, March IA
sense of humor, thinks Robert
Montgomery, is the most important
thing in the movie business, but
when a property man comes on the
set to tell him his car has a fiat
time, it is hard for him to practice
what he breaches.
"A sense of humor-comedy, the
light touch, call it what you will,
has been responsible for the de-
velopment of more stars than any,
thing else, the star says.
Its the one thing we all want,
the circumstance of life being what
it is. Humor. of course, is not just
some fellow with a grin, but the
understanding which springs from
deep philosophy and courage.
"It is the answer to the dictates
of common sense which says, don't
take things SO seriously. Relax,
they're not that Important"
just then the property man ap-
preached. "Mr. Montgomery, he
said, your car has fiat tire. I
just saw it coming in"
The star, set-faced, rushed out.
His sense of humor suddenly had
vanished.

and it only remains for the action
to show how that solution may be
acquired.
Illusions Stand Out
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Huston's
portrayals stand far above those
of the rest of the cast, comedy roles
are skilfully drawn by Harlan Briggs
as Dodworth's former classmate,
"Tubby," and Paul Porter as A. B.
Hurd, the back-slapping London
salesman for Dodsworth's company
1t is Lucille Fenton's playing of Mrs.
Dodsworth which seems to be most
out of line 1t doesn't seem that
Dodsworth could have made the
mistake of marrying her, if she
was as impossible as Miss Fenton
paints her.
Mr.. Huston said yesterday that
"the stage hands are the real stars
of our show" and after seeing the
rapidity with which the complicated
production is run off, one is inclined
to agree in part.
1t is Mr.. Huston's show from the
first scene, which he plays almost
entirely with his back to the au-
dience. This veteran actor, proud of
his vaudeville days when he used to
play Keith's Theater with comedy
skit, has won his way into the hearts
of most of us. And in "Dodsworth, :"
nc ~, "(so hrio1 Ovor tho White
House" one of his best pictures, he
seems to inject his own philosophy
into the role he plays.

When Mr.. Reuter- heard that a
new symphonic organization had
been formed here, he volunteered
his services to Conductor Ferdinand
Schaefer. He came here to play the
Rubinstein D Minor Concerto with
an inexperienced orchestra, at the
close of a difficult and disheartening
season.
Like Mr.. Schaefer, the soloist had
confidence in the orchestra for in
recent letter to the State Symphonic
Society, he wrote, recalling the per-
Torrance:
I was agreeably surprised at the
tone quality, technique and fine
musicianship of the orchestra, and
with what Director Schaefer had
done with it. I played the Rubin
stein concerto in Hamburg, Brand
enburg, Brunswick and New York
and yet can not recall finer support
or more vigorous handling of the
tutti. I remember that the audi
ence was quite enthusiastic and re-
called Mr.. Schaefer and myself

the light of the four ordinary candles

he was seeking

The act begins with considerable
billing and cooling on the part of
"Hollywood's happiest couple" but
the cooling disappears when sign
on the stage reveals that Miss Dan

The act is brief but entertaining.
Ben does an amusing job of self

we already have remarked, is even
more attractive than on the screen.

WOMEN FIGHTERS

Pictures from the Spanish Civil
war show women fighting in trench
es and barricades by the side of the
men. They scatter death and de-
struction among their enemies as
flercely as the most remorseless sol
dier could do. Women bring child
rem into the world at the cost of
heavy suffering, and normally are
keener than men to preserve this
life that is so scarce to them.
What a terrible upheaval and re-
versal of life it is, when we find these
women, the natural preseTvers of
life, trying to destroy it! How can
you account for it? Only through
the hatreds that have grown up be-
tween different classes in society,
as the result of human selfishness
and envy. The American people
must look out that no such hatreds
gain force in our country. God grant
that no conflict ever reaches the
point in our life where the women
are goaded on until they reach a
point of passion in which they seek
to destroy life.
Milford chronicle., 1936-11-06
BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS

Back 60 years ago, there were only
about so organizations in the coun-
try performing the work of a Cham
Der Of Commerce or Board of Trade.
Today there are probably 5000 of
them.
The formation Of all these societies
has added enormously to the power
of cities and towns. Formerly there
was no organized force in most
cities and towns working for i'm
proved conditions. The people
wanted progress but they had no
system for getting it. Their desires
were like a river which flows down
to the sea in a series of rapids with
out any power development. Such
a river turns no wheels of power. If
you build dams and erect power
plants, that river turns the wheels
in a thousand mills. So when you
organize a business or community
association, you take power that was
going to waste and make it produce
results.
Milford chronicle., 1936-11-06
NE TRUE SPOKESMAN

The millions Of men who are get
ting out in the woodlands and fields
in pursuit of game, should consider
few things. One is that there is
a very limited supply Of game in the
United States. Unlimited hunting and
lawless pursuit Of animals and birds
have exterminated some of the most
valuable creatures which our rich
land once produced in abundance.
Game laws have been made to pro-
tect this game for the benefit of
everybody. The hunters who violate
these laws, who sneak through the
woods with illegal prey, help to make
the land poorer for everyone, includ-
ing themselves.
Also these hunters should remem-
ber that very many people are killed
and wounded each year as the re-
suit Of carelessness by sportsmen.
The man who blazes away whenever
he sees the bushes move, should stay
at home and practice with a toy pis-
tol.
Milford chronicle., 1936-11-06
THE OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS

The great obstacle in the way OF
home town progress, is inertia, the
difficulty of getting progressive
movements started and supported.
There are always some things that
could be done to push town ahead
and give it greater advantages. All
that is needed is leadership and en-
thusiasm, and those things would
be done.
The home town newspaper is a
big factor in giving this support.
When a good movement is started
it backs it to the limit. It tells the
reasons for that movement, it re-
ports the meetings where it is push
ed. it urges everybody to get out
and back it up. With that kind of
support the leaders are encouraged
and they get things done. A town
with a successful newspaper is one
where things are going to move.
They can't help it.
