 Composite Actor
 What Berle doesn't know about scene stealing he knows about joke lifting. For years on Broadway he was notorious as a purloiner of other peoples gags, and occasionally made little quips about his acquisi- tive talents, such as "When I turn over a new leaf, it'll be page in Joe Miller's joke book"
 On the "New Faves" set, he en. dured a long scrutiny from Parkya- karkus, and finally asked: What are you looking at?"
 "At every actor in the country" replied the comedian.
 Fishy stunt
 Penner has Q scene In which he pulls many yards of silk flags, all tied together, from his sleeve. This simple piece of magic is faked by having a property man squat on the floor beside Penner, out of cam- era range, and feed the flags under his coat.
 It went ell right for g couple of rehearsals, then Parky sent over to the commissary for dead fish. The fish secretly was tied to the end of the last flag.
 The camera began to grind, and Penner assumed his most fatuous smirk as the flag trick progressed. His expression when the fish ap- peared should make cinematic his. fnrv

GREAT Spirit NOW
IN NQQfiRACK CAMP
Doc Newton Given Credit
for Putting Fighting
Heart lin Players

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. O.
Coach Doc Newton has succeeded at
State College.
He has given the Wolfpack some
thing that means more than anything
elsa fighting heart and team spirit.
I'm defeat last Saturday, State look
ed better than it has in either victory
or defeat during the past four sea-
sons"
That was the opinion voiced by an
unnamed spectator who saw Carolina
capture the long end of 200 score
Saturday afternoon. He spoke the
mind of State College.
Win or lose, the Pack now has the
full support of. every State College
nar-and Doc Newton deserves the
credit.
Every one who saw the State-Caro-
lima game Saturday sensed that
spirit. Outplayed by better team,
the Pack stayed in there fighting
every minute of the game.
There were no cutters. There was
no dissension among members of the
team. Each Wolf was giving his best
for his team and his school. Individ-
ual personalities were merged into
that greater entity: the Wolfpack.
