it hasn't worked out that way.
Slipping stars, or those who
find themselves without port
folio in Hollywood, have
little difficulty in arranging a
vaudeville tour at a comfortable
salary. They prefer it to going
to England, where most Of
Americas shopworn screen &C.
lebrities have found a haven in
the British studios. A good act
might help to restore them to
favor but most of them pack
their aviation luggage, cook up
a few stories, perhaps a song,
come on after a flowery intro
.duction, proceed to lay what the
vaudeville veteran calls IAN
egg"
No, I think the vaudeville
stage is better off, and the stars
are safer, if they remain in the
sheltering realm of the screen.
1t may put a little extra burden
on the vaudeville bookers, who
find it increasingly difficult to
fill four-act program and who
use the radio as the main re-
cruiting office. But the stars
will preserve their standing with
their public, and vaudeville
might be improved by q little
scratching for new talent.

HOLLYWOOD, May 1S.-It Is
said in Hollywood that no actor
ever retires.
It is a profession in which those
involved carry on for better or
worse long after the retirement age
set for Army officers, industrialists
or Supreme Court justices.
I'm spite of the Shirley Temples,
Mauch twins, or Dionne quintu-
plets,' says Bette Davis, "few
actors or actresses do their best
work as youngsters or as young
adults"
Sir Cedric Hardwicke, who was
Dean Harcourt" in Green
Light" has said an actress is her
best after IS and that an actor
does not usually mature" until he
is As.
But these are not the principal
reasons for the refusal Of actors
generally to retire, in the opinion
Of Maxwell Arrow, casting director
at Warner Brothers. Actors keep
working, he believes, because they
love their work, enjoy it more than
the people of any other profession.
IT don't believe I have even seen
q happy retired actor" he says.
"Nor one who would not return to

twirled his mustache, while the
heroine groveled at his feet, and
the audience entered into the fun
by kissing the villain and cheer
ing the hero"
The motion picture has changed
all that.
To-day" George went on, "pic-
lures have made acting so natural
that the audience feels it is being
taken into the confidence of the
actors. Realism has replaced act
ing as we knew it. When we see
a family sitting around a dinner
table, as in 'Ah, WildernesS!' it is
Just as though a wall Of the house
had been taken away and we are
permitted to look at an intimate
occasion in the life Of a real
family"

of today and you will be impressed

their scenes in a normal, easy man.

Powell are exactly the same off

That is why any young player

fatal.

Automobile and truck drivers
throughout Minnesota were warn
ed this week to dim or depress
their headlights within not less
than 500 feet Of an approaching
vehicle, or suffer the penalty I'M

fic Regulation Act.
Instructions were issued to High

to carry on continued campaign
Of strict enforcement Of the new
law against every driver who fails
to comply with it in this respect.
Speed and insufficient visibility
in other words, over driving the
headlights, has been a common
cause of night accidents in the
past. Glaring headlights too have
added to the accident toll" COM

The new traffic act requires that
headlights with an upper and low
err beam be so arranged that upper
beams provide visibility at least
$50 feet ahead. This Is sufficient
for night driving, experts assert

the shortened stalk.
The potato crop has suffered

that when Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey
leave in August that the WPA
leaders will carry on the program
in much the same manner.
Because WPA recreational lead
ers are hired and paid by the gov
eminent to stimulate interest in
recreation, it is not in the juris-
diction Of the department to hire
men for maintenance work. ut Is
easy to see," he said, that leaders
could do little supervision If they
had to spend eight hours day on
maintenance" Their job is organi-
cation, he continued, and the city
must provide the facilities. His de-
partment provides supervision and
activity, he summed it up, not fac
ilities.
ut is true that Melrose has a

work." said Mr.. Campbell, "but he
was hired before the quota reduc-
ton and specific orders came stat
ing that no maintenance men
could be hired" Sank Centre has
an advantage over Melrose in the
services of Coach Gene Harvey.
Investigating the need for leader

the four leaders now here were
sufficient to care for the program.

they must make application to the
