NO WPA CHANGES
 HERE DISCUSSED

Tentative plans for the fall in regard to the local educational and recreational branch of the WPA set up were discussed yesterday after noon when local officials and state office executives conferred here. As far as could be determined there will be no drastic changes in the local set-up and it is hoped that more stress will be placed on the vo- cational guidance branches of the local program.
 Miss Edna Harmon, head of the local project, was unable to say def initely this morning just what would be the procedure in the fall, other than to state she hoped the vocational guidance would be con- t'nued and perhaps given more att
 ontion.

Can Maid of Honor
Sing at a Wedding?

n EAR Mrs. Post: have an only
~ sister who is to be my maid OF
honor. This sister has lovely voice
and would like very much to
have her sing at the wedding if you
think this could be arranged so as
not to interfere with the wedding
procession. Will you tell me how
you think il could best be done?
Answer: 1t would be unusual but
not unheard of should your sister
sing during the pause in the cere-
mony between the betrothal and the
plighting of the troth. In other
words, she could stand at the side
of the chancel steps and sing while
you and your betrothed walk slowly
up the steps and take your places
in front of the altar. Having fin
ished her song, which of course
must be very short, she then fol-
lows and stands on your left. If
it could be arranged so that she
would be hidden from view, she
could sing while the congregation is
assembling, but it would not do to
have her enter the church and then
go out again to meet you and come
down in the professional.

John Montague, strong man golfer
Of Hollywood, equipped with the
"clubs" he used in taking a $500
golf bet from Bling Crosby.

Young Moores golf had been
good enough to land him job as a
professional at the Clayton, N. ",
country club. He once had played
the nine-hole municipal course at
Syracuse in %.
Moore Had Police Record.
Moore had a passion for making
records, and some of them were po
lice records. He got a six-months'
suspended sentence in 1927 for pos
ing as policeman and taking $50
from a grocer accused of selling
liquor.
On the night of April 5, 1880, four
young men held up a roadhouse
near Jay, N. w. taking $500 from
Kin Hama, the owner. When Hana's
father-in-law, Matt Cobb, objected,
they gave him a vicious beating.
AS the robbers made their get
away, one of their cars struck a
culvert. One robber was killed. Two
were captured and got 16-year pris-
on terms. The fourth, believed to
have been "Bull'' Moore, dis
appeared.
The New York state police sent
Moore's fingerprints to the Los An
geles police department. On last
July 9 Hollywood's strong man was
arrested in the Beverly Hills apart
ment which he shared with Oliver
Hardy, and charged with the New
York robbery. When they took him
to Jail he admitted that he was
''Bull'' Moore and that there was no
longer any reason for avoiding pub
licity. He posed willingly for pho
tographers, but refused to discuss
the charges against him.

The arrest was bombshell to the

lest thing about this story is that it
is true. 1t happened two years ago,
and since that time John Montague
or LaVerne Moore or "Bull'' Moore
depending upon your point of
view has been the most talked-of
man in the goling world.
John Montague, as the film colo
, ny knows him, came to Hollywood
three years ago. His ability to play
golf was astounding. He was
handsome in his burly way. His
manners were delightful. He was
chivalrous with women. He appar-
emily had a bank roll. He had two
Lincolns and Ford. He could drink
a fifth of Scotch and eight gin fixes
for breakfast and never bat an eye.
Montague Stunned publicity. But
as Greta Carlo proved, one sure
way to get into the linelight is to
try to stay out of it. No one in
Hollywood knew who Montague was,
whence he came or where he de-
rived his income, not even Oliver
Hardy, the rotund comedian with
whom the mystery man lived for a
while. And apparently nobody
cared.
But a man can't do the things
Monty did and remain in oblivion.
His feats of strength were as amaz-
ing as his golf prowess. He held
UP a heavy automobile while a
friend changed a tire. With one
hand he picked up George Bancroft,
husky moving picture "heavy," and
stuffed him in a locker, upside
down, during a moment of horse
play. He could even lift Ollie Hardy
in one hand. He ate dozen eggs in
less than half minute. He Git was

said, had rehabilitated himself and
was now an admirable citizen.

who arranged for Johns $4,000

Nevertheless, he went back to New

The one mystery none of them
was ever able to solve was the orr

NEW YORK, September l1.-Right
now the most televised girl in New
York is known only to her co-workers
as Miss Patience. Most of the time,
too, all she wears is black satin
bathing suit.
Never protesting about her hours
nor the suffering sometimes encoun-

As necessary in television as the

Well, she can, for she's show

gineers and program research men to
do her share in the television field
tests under way in New York.
Contrast in CoIors.
The black satin bathing suit was
selected mainly because of the color
contrast it offers to her whitish pink
features, giving the camera two ex-
tremes of the color range.
Patience has her living assistants
who also go through their television
PAGES, but most of them never like
to stay under the lights longer than
can be helped. Patience just
smiles on.
Almost any evening she is at work
at the special N. B. C. television studio
in Radio City, standing on as the
camera picks up her image and sends
it along TO the transmitter atop the
Empire State Building for experiment
tai broadcasting purposes.
These broadcasts, in continuation of
the tests being conducted with the
r. c. A. system, still are put on solely
for engineer observers at special re-
ceiver locations about the city.
Not on Regular Schedule.
They come mainly at night, a couple
of hours at a time, but not on regu-
lar schedule. Outside of Patiences
efforts, the program material is prin-
cipally that of the drama, such as
small intimate sketches that require
only two or three characters and little
setting.
The engineers and studio research
staff also on occasion look on other
acts like singers and dancers, solo
scenes for the most part, in their
attempts to solve the problems being
encountered in the development of
suitable program matter for television
broadcasting. Lighting effects also
come in for consideration
AS soon as they get farther along
with the studio research, the engineers
plan to take their camera outdoors in
the streets of New York and there

mined yet, but it is the next test step.
