Here is wonderful example Of what happiness
illusion can contribute to the human mind.
Then there are the remarkable things they do
in Hollywood to create an imitation world for our
amusement. The "glass shots" in which far
away scenes are painted, and against which the
Hollywood actors are photographed right in the
studio so that you see them moving against
background of the Tai Mahal in India, or against
the Sphinx.
GiOes Relaxation to Millions
And the scenery made mostly of paper and
beaver board and the trick lighting which is two
thirds of any stars beauty! Hollywood is indeed
a city of illusions, yet it gives pleasure and
needed relaxation to millions of people the world
over.
Yes, the Charlie McCarthys and the Mickey
Mouses certainly deserve the places they have in
our life today, and just remember that when our
time comes, and when our souls pass to another
life our bodies will be just helpless and just as
silent as these little dummies of the makebelieve
world.

Our soldiers in the Spanish-Amer-

it undying glory. Nor wasit confined
to the Cuban conflict. It provided
martial inspiration for American
troops in the Boxer Rebellion, where
its words were changed to "A Hot
Time in China Tonight" and for the
British Tommies in the Boer War,
who substituted "TransvaaP" fer
"China." Later, as if to demonstrate
the universality of its appeal, it fur

veterans left. notably, John w Vo-

their companies were responsible
for many geat song hit. 1t was
Metz who composed the immortal
tune, "A Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight" Until his death year or
two ago at 85, Metz toiled amid the
cliffs and clefs of Tin Pan Alley. He
liked to reminisce about his old
song and its national glorificatien
during the Spanish American War.
Metz wrote the song in 1886 when
he was the conductor of the McIn-
tyre and Heath Minstrels-wrote it
on train passing through Louisi-
ana. He had decided, he once told
us when we found him in his cubby
