tape, which is fool-proof, will tell
the firemen what box the alarm

The old alarm indicator has
been out of order for several years
and has frequently recorded wrong
numbers, causing the fire depart
ment to go off on wild goose
chases. The new system, manu-
factured by the Gamewell Co., is
said to be the last word in fire

major scenic and historic points
in the two Carolinas. They assem-
bled at Greensboro and from there
went to Western Carolina, then
swinging down into South Caro-
lima and working back up to Ellz-

two nights here. On that occasion
they were royalty entertained, be-

Buffalo, New York. a few years
later. That night he told his wife:
Il am going to write a play
about Lincoln and produce it, and
am going to play the part of
Lincoln"
What do you know about
writing or acting, either?" asked
his wife.
Nothing" he replied, but I am
going to do it. anyhow"
So he wrote u play based on the
life Of Lincoln and produced it in
Buffalo with rank amteurs in the
cast.
1t was a dismal failure" he
said. Il was never so disappoint-
ed in all my life"
That cured him of the Lincoln
fever" for a while, but around a
year later he resolved to produce
Lincoln play and take all the
parts himself. This he did. and
his imperSonation scored an i'm
mediate success. Since that time
he has given his Lincoln imper-
Sonation from 40 to so times each
year, appearing principally in
high schools and before KiWaniS
and Rotary Clubs and conven-
tionS. He has played to audiences
ranging in size from 100 to $1,000
persons.
Numerous critics have hailed
him as the greatest living imper-
senator of Lincoln. better even
than Frank MeGlynn, the fam
Gus actor who usually plays the
part Of Lincoln in motion picture
productions.
Il naturally look more like
Lincoln than the others who i'm
personate him." said Mr. Ayde-
lotte. " I do not have to depend
as much on accentuation of
Makeup as they do. I have the
thick lip, the high forehead. the
large nose and the same facial
wrinkles that gave Lincoln his sad
expression. Then, too, I am taller
than the other Lincoln imper-
senators and do not have to de-
pend as much on makeup to
achieve height as they do. Lin
coin was six feet four, and am
six feet one and three quarters
inches in height. When made up,
I stand six feet four"
Impersonating Lincoln is mere
ly a hobby and a sideline with
Luther Aydelotte. who is sales
manager of Kleinhans Co., one of
the largest mems stores in Buff
falo.
Il greatly admire Lincoln" he
said, and when I put on my
makeup I try to throw myself
completely into the character I
am protraying. seek to portray
the humane side of Lincoln and
to make my audiences see the
greatness that was in him."
Mr.. AydeFottes act consists of
4 35-minute monologue in which
he carries on {. conversation with
imaoinary characters Sucn as
Mrs. Lincoln and various Cabinet
members and political leaders Of
Lincoln's time, conveying to the
audience whau the imaginary
characters are saying by the ans
wers he makes.
He is scheduled to give his i'm
personation before the Kiwanis
Club tonight and will appear on
the stage of the Carolina Theatre
tomorrow night at nine o'clock.
He will be here until Thursday.
This is his first visit to his old
home since 1912, a quarter of a
century ago.
The town has certainly chang
cd a lot since my last visit he
