University Head Wants
To Keep His Post

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Aug. II.
DR.. H. c. Byrd, president of the
University of Maryland, is def
nitely not a candidate for the
governorship of Maryland in the
1888 elections
Despite persistent rumors, sup
posedly emanating from high
political sources, that "Curley"
Byro will be a surprise Democratic
candidate. running on the old-line
"Ritchie party" ticket, Byrd In
sists that he does not want the
office and will not run.
TOO BUSY TO RUN
DR.. Byrd said today:
Fright now l am too tied up
in the work Of the university
even to consider running for
governor or any other office. In
the three years that have been
president here I have mapped
out and put into effect a def
mite program for the betterment
of the university and that pro-
gram is just now beginning to
bear fruit. We are now in a
better position than we have
ever been in, and I wouldn't
consider relinql:ishing this posi-
ton for the next five years at
least.
"A number of my friends have
urged me to run for governor on
the ground that I would then be
in a better position to help the
university. But I believe that
can give the university more
now than I could give it If I
were governor. Operating from
Annapolis, I would have to lean
over backwards not to give 1t
too much.
OFFICE mot FOR ME"
"The way these candidates are
electioneering is months before
the primaries is amusing. There
is, of course, a lot of glitter about
the office of Governor of Mary
land, but it's not for me-"
DR.. Byrd, after serving as vice
president of the university for
nearly a decade, was appointed
president of the institution three
years ago. During that time, he
was a staunch party follower and
was known as Albert c. Ritchie'S
"right-hand man"

Stories Interest
 Many November ,. Issue Magazine

Most often when we read ad- ventures of the pioneers of 1898 the hardships are of snow and ice" says the Alaska Sportsman in it's November issue, just out. Few stories have been written concerning the thousands of pros pectors who did not immediately go to the Interior of Alaska, but spread out along its immense coast line and searched the creeks and rivers there for gold.
 The statement is made in the introduction to Adventure in '98' by Andrew J. Hutchinson, a true story of experiences on a pros pecting trip up the SuSitna River into the Talkeetna Mountains.
 On the trip the writer and his Cheechacco partner almost starv- ed to death and were exhausted from the battle with rivers, noun tains and mosquitoes. The arti- cle is based on a letter written by the author immediately after the adventure.

OF the performers frankly admitted
that everybody in the company was

show. Fine for Mr.. K He is a lion,
a WOW, whereas last year the same
turn was only good second act on a
vaudeville program. What he will be
next year nobody knows.
Regard also Edgar Bergen, the
agreeable. blond young college fellow
who started ventriloquism for fun,
took it up as a career, stayed at it for
years with his pert little dummy
Charlie" Bergen played vaudeville
and more vaudeville, made a few film
shorts, was known as a good man at
his job, but his name meant little to
the general public. Suddenly Bergen
and Charlie clicked in famous New
York night spot last season, and any
paragrapher who didn't boil and bub-
BILE about their wonderful act simply
was not in the paragraphing business
Now everybody who reads the Win
chellimitators from coast TO coast says
who? Edgar Bergen? Oh, yes. The
ventriloquist. And that Charlie Isn't
he marVelous?"
REN BLUE. a comedian who calls
Washington home (most Of the
comics arrive here as a result OF cleo
tionS), Is an old timer at the vaude-
vile game-one Of those fellows who
has been in the business so many
years that he no longer bothers about
trying to dash out between shows
when playing four day. Just lies
in his dressing room, stares at the CELL
ing. saves his energy and talks with
whoever happens to drop in. Blue

England as we'll, once owned a theat-
rical cafe in London, has been in in
Vulnerable film comedy shorts, knows

has been that Of reliable vaude

it for the simple reason that things
like that have happened.
AS matter of fact, there is a spe-
ciflc situation at the moment which
Is responsible for the agitation for a
better deal for real singers. Reliable
reports have it that one Of the current
vocal sensations OF the screen sang
not single one of those dulcet notes
which have torn the hearts right out
OF audiences. Instead, he merely
made the gestures while one OF radios
finest voices made the music.
TECHNICALLY. it is a simple trick
the one known as clubbing in
one voice for another. 1t was done,
If crudely, in the early days Of the
sound picture. 1t is done now with
such flnesse that even the supposed
singer and his phantom voice are
fooled by the genius of the camera.
Why should singers be worried about
it?
Well, let's take a chap like Phil
Regan, for example. Mr.. Regan. say,
gets wind OF role which requires
an actor who also can sing. He puts
in bid for it.
We've given the part to Joe
Doakes," the casting director tells Re-
gan.
But he can't sing" the latter pro-
tests.
why should he? Well just dub in
the voice of Caruso."
That would leave Regan out in the
cold (although that weather would
be very unreasonable in Southern
California;. And it would leave lot
OF other singing players in the same
spot. One voice could be a couple
OF dozen actors; Popeye this week,
Donald Duck the next and Akin Tam
iroff after that.
you may not know it, and may not
even care to know it, but Nelson
Eddy was voice on the screen before
ne was physique on it.
After Eddy was brought to Holly
wood because he had voice, there
was conviction that he was no great
snakes as an actor. He was getting
MS pay and a good sun tan for a
long time before he lent his vocal
talent to a picture featuring some one
VINO needed good singing voice
badly. The feeling got abroad that,
actor or no actor (the point still re-
mains uncertain in many minds) Eddy
should be in pictures. As every one
knows, he Is in pictures, having sung
himself from the wings right into the
middle of the camera lens.
Singers feel that is where singers
should be. And they don't approve
OF this business of a studio hiring
voice and letting 1t sing for every
one on the companys pay roll.
1t sounds pretty sane at that.
