Swims at Riviera"
Nor does she miss an opportunity
the chance in her path. THE other
day did a diving shot with Claudette
Colbert in the studio tank. The screen
behind the tanks was a picture OF the
Riviera. So you see I've been swimming
at the Riviera. Gary Cooper compi-
mented me on my crawl and asked
me where learned to swim. After
told him had learned in the Yellow
stone river, we had a nice long chat
about Montana.
The directors, stars and prop
erty men are very sociable and pleasant
to work with. Can't you imagine how
much that means to newcomer like
myself who is completely mystified by
the whole thing?"
Asked her opinion on what it takes
to be a success in Hollywood, Ruth
analyses:
IT don't think success in Hollywood
can be attributed to one thing, but
rather number Of things, those be-
ing:
/. Ability to sing, dance or act.
2. Ability to make people like you.
3. Ability to stick with a thing and
work hard.
4. Last but not least, patience"
Ruth concludes in a mood of high
resolve, sincerity and simplicity.
"There is my story and I hope you
can CLEAN from it how happy and
grateful am for this wonderful OPP
portunity. Believe me, shall do every
thing within my power to make it
amount to something some day. Not
many are given the chance I've been
given and I shall never stop being
grateful to those who were responsible
for it,"

SHORTEST TRAIL
Is NOT A BEELNE
CAPTAIN GREGG FOUND THAT
OUT IN FOLLOWING TELE-
GRAPH POLES

Capt. J. o. Gregg, earIy-day real
estate dealer of Great Falls, once
proved TO his own satisfaction that
a straight line Is not necessarily
the shortest distance between two
points. IL resulted from him follow
ing a line of telegraph poles in
stead of the winding prairie trail
when he was set af0ot between
Great Falls and Fort Benton and
in a hurry 20 catch q dOwn-river
boat at the latter place.
Captain Gregg, veteran OF the Civil
war in which he served in an Ohio
regiment. came to Great Falls when the
town was being laid out, prepared to
stake his fortune on the outcome Of
the city in prospect.
In the late summer of 1888 he de-
cided to go down the Missouri river
on the steamboat, Marie Powell, which
was to be the last down-river boat OF
the season. He left Great Falls in the
afternoon on horseback, his valise tied
to the saddle horn and an overcoat
behind the cantle. He expected TO
finish the 40-mile ride before dark.
He had ridden only few miles when
his saddle cinches became looSened
and he dismounted to tighten them.
While he was thus engaged q band OF
wild range horses galloped by and his
mount joined them, leaving the cap
tain standing on the prairie. The last
he saw of the animal was a goodby
wave Of its tail as it disappeared over
a distant hill.
Despite the fact that he now had
neither Valise nor overcoat and that
it was 80 miles to Port Benton, he de-
cided to go ahead on foot. Night was
approaching, but he told himself that
bv following the old military telegraph
line which connected the two towns,
running across country, he could make
it even in the dark without getting
lost. The boat left at daybreak. So he
left the trail and started following the
telegraph line which ran as the crow
flies. He regretted his decision after
wards but it was too late to turn back.
He could go only ahead.
He climbed steep aScents, sometimes
on his hands and knees. He went down
declivities that were almost perpen-
dicular. Once or twice he just missed
rattlesnakes and as night fell, he sew
eral times routed wolves and coyotes
from their lairs. So he went on, over
hill after hill
Just at the break of day he topped
the last elevation between him and
his goal and his spirits rose as he saw
the Marie Powell still riding anchor
at the wharf. He reached the boat just
as the crew was lifting the gangplank
AS he went aboard he collapsed and
had to be assisted to q Stateroom
When he awakened after a refreshing
sleep he was down river 100 miles on
his way to st. Louis

on others, that represented
honest mistakes, and eXcusable
errors.
All of this is inspired by the
news that the Theater Guild
next season will have an infu-
sion Of young blood. 1t may be
exactly what the Fifty-Second
Street producing organization
needs. The official communicate
says:
THE Theater Guild and the
Mercury Theater have agreed
upon an association for next sea-
son for the production of series
of ShakeSpeare's historical plays
which, as a group, will be called
Five Kings"
NEW BLOOD COMING
The production, which will be
under the direction of OrsOn
WelleS, will be given on two
nights and will include Henry
Nv" (parts l and p, Henry ""
the three parts of Henry W."
and Richard III"
These plays will be presented
to Guild and Mercury SubScrib-
ers as two subscription prOduc-
tiOns.
Broadway rumor also persists
that the Guild next year will cut
down its own production opera
tons, sponsoring independent
production units and trading its
ready-made subscription audi
ence for production partner
ships.
One of the best authenticated
reports - unofficial, however
is that Lee Shubert has become
professionally interested in the
Guild. Another rumor has
Worthington Miner choosing
plays and producing independ-
emily under Guild auspices.
The Guild is currently in pro-
duction partnership with the
Actors Repertory Theater, whose

OLD TINE IDEA
1 wish that the Guild might
rid itself of some of its old fogy
ideas. Such, for instance, as
that no star is big enough to be
starred by the Guild.
Theresa Helburn stands for
this venerable policy founded
on the Shakespeare's line, The
Plays the Thing" She has
championed it, defended the
soundness of the system, even
though it has been demon
strated, time and again. the
road" buys names" and so
does Broadway.
Theater Guild box office
statements will show that Kat.
arine Hepburn in the hoary
Jane Eyre" did bang-up bust
ness in Washington, and other
cities. Not because she was a
Theater Guild attraction, but
because the public was curious
to see Katharine Hepburn as a
stage star.
GUILD GUESSED WRONG
When the Guild produced
Turgenev'S Month in the
Country" they rebuked the Ma
tional Theater's former mana
ger, Steve Cochran, for daring
to place Nazimova in bigger
type than the play, or the Guild.
AS great a star as George M.
Cohan had to accept minor bill
ing under the Guilds ruling,
which featured the "Ah Wilder
ness" title, over the star.
And still I'll take the Theater
Guild label on almost any play.
1t represents to me a shot at
the center of the production
target every time they lift the
curtain, and the smartest pro-
ducers in the business some
times guess wrong.
Those who pick comedies like
"Storm Over Patsy" wouldn't
last long on my play picking
staff, but I have sat in review

Ocean Parkway Project

Through systematic plan
ming, and such action as cir
cumstances may warrant, the
State-owned ocean front land
south from Rehoboth can be
converted into a useful public
area. 1t has natural elements
which lend themselves to de-
velopment at moderate cost.
There is a good beach, and off
the shore is good fishing
ground.
These possibilities are being
brought to public notices as
the result of an exploratory
movement headed by Mrs.
Henry B. Thompson, whose
interest in such matters is
praiseworthy. Through her
efforts the people of Delaware
doubtless have begun to real
ize that what is practically

quired to make a compete Job

doing the work gradually the
ultimate hoped-for result is
possible. - Journal-Every Ev-
