A NTHoNY ADVERSE had nothing on Enrol
~ Flynn. For in the brief space of 81 years,
the young Anglo-Irish actor under contract at
Warner Brothers, has been all over the world,
visiting practically every country from Abys-
sinia to Alaska. And some of his "pearl-hunting"
and "gold-prospecting" ventures have been as
romantic as those of the fiction character made
famous by Hervey Allen. 1t is rumored that
Enrol Flynn is writing the story of his adven-
lures. No doubt by the time the young actor
reaches that much-looked-forward-to age of 40
he will have experienced enough romantic and
exciting adventure and gathered enough ma
terial to supply copy for several books as thick
as the famous Allen best-seler.
Born in north of Ireland on June 20, 1909 he
was educated in London and Paris. The spring
of 1928 found him in Amsterdam as member
of the British Olympic boxing team.
He was in Tahiti pearl fishing with boat
he had purchased and a crew of natives, when
an English film company arrived there to
shoot" on location for "Mutiny on the Bounty"
Flynn was given the role of his maternal an
cestor, Fletcher Christian and re-ving the
adventuresome character famed into fame the
spark of the same spirit in the youthful Irish
man. He quit his pearl fishing at the conclusion
of the picture and went to New Guinea to
prospect for gold.
In New Guinea he received two things which
he has since worn constantly his only good
luck charm, thin gold chain given him by a
dying missionary, and an ugly scar on his shin
bone given him by poisoned arrow shot from
amoush by New Guinea native
He says he found "a spot of gold during
these exciting days but it was more than
spot-it amounted to many thousands of dollars
His next venture didn't prove quite so prof.
table. He bought a coastwise schooner and put
1t into the inter-island freight service But the
schooner soon struck a hidden coral reef, thus
abruptly discontinuing the service.
He returned to England and went on the
stage His first opportunity was given him by
Sir Barry Jackson He played in "A Mans
House" "Othello" and THE Constant Nymph"
He also appeared in stock companies through
out the provinces and managed to get in several
roles in English motion pictures.
His big film opportunity, however did not
come until Irwin Asher of Warner Brothers.
British company saw him on the stage and
signed him to a contract to come to Hollywood
And here began his greatest and most exciting
adventure. To quote him: Il did not find Holly
wood as cruel to outsiders as many say. But
did see why it was going to be my toughest
adventure. You can't bluff your way through
in Hollywood. You have to be ready at GER
tain time and place and deliver the goods The
grind is terrific, but it's exciting If it were
easy, wouldn't like it,"
Aboard the steamer coming from England
ne met and danced with a fascinating lady He
thought her lovely and very charming person
but didn't think great deal more about It
IT'S small world for not long after his arrival
in Hollywood, their paths crossed again. this

Wonder how tall he is?" the brunette re-
marked, her eyes filled with admiration
Gosh, don't you ever read? He's six feet
two and he weighs 180 pounds and his eyes and
hair are brown" the other spelled off all in one
breath. "Jimminy Why couldn't there be more
Errols and fewer chunks in this world?"
There just aren't enough Irish, I guess"
replied the brunette.
But whether his Irish blood has ANYTHING to
do with 1t or not, in the parlance of the people
Enrol Flynn has what it takes" His most
popular pictures so far have been those in which
ne plays costume roles, type of picture to which
ne seems peculiarly suited. The handsome young
Irishman is rapidly filling the place left vacant
by Douglas Fairbanks, senior He plays swash-
ouckling, romantic part In manner that makes
every feminine heart In the audience futter

speeds has good memory for telephone num-
bers; can do card tricks; has suppressed desire

gance-food, particularly meats.
He is an avid reader of newspaper editorials
His favorite movie stars are Claude Rains. Joan

For outdoor sports he prefers swimming,
horseback riding and tennis. Besides he is a
champion boxer and likes to watch fast box
ing match. AS for indoor sports, it is said he
plays mean game of poker
Next to acting, Flynn prefers writing. He
has written a number of short stories. some
verse an original story which he sold to War
ner's for goody sum. and novel entitled
Beam Ends"
Typical Of his ever r-grow1ng popularity, espo
cially with Young America, was a conversation
recently overheard at the showing of .'The
Charge Of the Light Brigade" In Hollywood
theater. Two very young women stood gazing
at a picture of Flynn and Olivia de Havilland

TAKING CARE OF BOOKS

Milton wrote an essay once on the subject of
books. In it he said that books were like
friends having once become acquainted with
them, one liked to 60 back and read and re-read
them like we do our friends, visit anr revisit
them.
This year, the taxpayers of the state of North
Carolina are furnishing free text books to school
children. This is being done in order that every
child in the state will have an opportunity to
have his own books when he goes to school
Heretofore, in large families children have often
not been able to have enough books to 60 around
or in families where the parents have not cared
enough about whether they had them or not.
In return for giving children free books the
state asks that the books be taken care of and
turned back to the proper authorities at the end
OF the year in good condition. In this wav the
books can be used for many years. It is de-
plorable fact that many children have not been
brought up to take care of their books. Thew
want to write over the pages, draw pictures in
them, tear the backs up, or even cut or tear out
entire pages. They are often careless where
they leave their books and loose them.
The teachers job will not be an easv one in
keeping up with these loaned books. Of course
parents and students will have to cooperate
but II nothing better comes out of this free text
book law than teaching children a respect for
and desire to keep their books clean and neat
we will have accomplished something

OF SUCH PROMISES is THE
KINGDOM OF POLITICS.

Acting Chairman Cannon of the House appro-
priations committee predicts balanced budget
in 1888
When 1888 comes around, it will be in order
for the Congressman or some other responsible
authority of the administration to move that
prophecy up to 1889 if precedent is to be follow
ed.
The public must be firing of these promises
that remain unfulfilled
Instead of Congress taking hold of this serious
situation and going at it in business-like and de-
termined manner. it trifles and dilly-dallies and
usually, in the end winds up with larger appro-
priations and, therefore, larger deficit
The budget can be balanced of course, but not
by the process of continuing the policy of spend
ing more revenues than are taken in Even
Congress ought to know that
