IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear son
and brother, Erwin M. Smith, who was
called away two years ago May 9Th.
Out from our hearts comes bitter cry
Why did our loved one have to die?
With patience he suffered, his troubles
were sore,
But now they are ended-he suffers no
more.
God called you, dear Erwin, to His
home on high
May we be prepared to meet you,
For our time is drawing nigh.
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
We little thought your death so near,
But only those that love can tell
The sadness of saying our last fare
well.
Sadly missed by his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Smith and Family.
Accident, Nd, May A, 1887.

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood.-Strange things are happening these days to some of the screens male actors. Franchot Tone and Robert Montgomery, the goody-goody boys of numerous drawing room dramas, are portray ing mrrderers.
 Peter Lorre, sinister fiend of ''M' and Mad Love-" is playing the part of a wise-cracking Japanese detective. Boris Heebie-Jeebie Kar- loff soon is to be seen as kindly old fellow who goes out of his way to avoid stepping on bugs. And George Raft has forsaken his lac quer-haired nether-world roles for something very different.
 Never in the history of talkie- town have so many startling tram SitionS occurred at the same time. It's a new cycle, and if it contin- ues you may expect to see Gary Cooper whaling the tar out of or phans and Jean Harlow whamming the drum with band of street. corner revivalistS.
 And it's a daring gamble for film producers because the fans may or may not like such daring and abrupt changes in their celluloid favorites.
 But the reason behind this re- shuffling of assignments is simple enough. For @ long time tht Messrs. Tone, Montgomery, Raft Lore, and Karloff were typed a. actors suitable only for certain kinds of characters.
 Tone was whiz as polished young blue-blood, usually witt plenty of money. Montgomery never faltered when it came to delighting the ladies with a steady flow ot mots and epigrams. Raft was con- sidered only for oily racketeer roles and Lorre and Karloff were profes- sional bogeymen.
 Just the Type
 As long as they were clicking at the boxofflces, these people didn't care whether they were typed or not. But the unvarnished truth is that each of them began to slump
 They resented the fact that fans
