ing question with counter question
we found ourselves trying to figure
out just how we stood, if, indeed, we
were still standing. But more speci-
fically, we were puzzling over the
phenomena of our Old Timers adroit
and specious economic or fatalistic
reasoning, or questioning-or some
thing-and just what had seized upon
and rendered him unable or unwilling
to think or reason except in terms of
the past.
can never be quite sure then, why
he persisted in. awaking memories of
the triumphant days of sideburns and
bustles, or Dawl at me about past in
terludes and progress from corsets
and hoop-skirts to scanties, from III
cycles-built-for-two and BryaG's 16-to-
l frenzy of the roaring pos to the
Model-T, then through the era of pro-
fiteers in pending disaster, which
ushered in the Lost Tribe of Hoover.
to the happy-days-are here again
reign of the New Deal, with every
body receiving relief-or being hope
full, still. It was all to much for me
but here is the preamble to the ques-
tions Old Timer left sticking in my
mind
Softies-Or Soft Soap?
Old Timer roared when 1 asked him
if it were true about us subsisting on
too much soft food, or soft soap, and
perhaps going morally flabby. The
rub is, he seemed to blame it all on
me. Say, now, I'm no relicfer-yet.
Still, imagined I could catch a fleet
ing CLEAN of pride in his eye, some
thing strangely reminiscent of teach
er's ill-disguised enthusiasm of long
ago when l, for once, recited well.
Old Timer charged into me with
something to the effect that cur faith
er's had gruebed the stunnps, cleared
the farms and made homes, then left
everything for~us to carry on, but we
don't. They had builded cities, schools
and churches, launched the greatest
and richest nation on earth, and gave
to us veritable empire flowing with
milk and honey-only to have us go
modern and elevate our noses at both
milk and honey, because they inter
fere in our efforts at reducing.
Our worthy ancestors accomplished
everything without tools or machines
save of the very crudest Sort and
without cash markets for a thing
they Produced they achieved all this
in the very teeth of political and eco
nomic oppression from abroad, and
they had no kind-hearted government
to furnish even occasional relief. They
did not have relief, or scarcely any
thing else, in those days, yet they
made a miracle of what we call Am
erica, and left it to us, a priceless
heritage.
Then why, now that we have gas
oline plows, tractors, machinery,
strearn-lined automobiles, powerful
radios and electric refrigeration, in
sact everything under the sun, must
we go prodigal and funk at feeding
ourselves? Why is it, while persisting
in the indulengce of unheard-of Tx
uries to a degree of illaudable, and
with educational advantages thrown
in, we can exist now only by and
through the charity of a beneficient
Uncle Sam?

Of cotton on farms. Bankhead said
the granary program would take into
0~co,lnt "the total titled acreage on a
farm as well as cotton production"
Under the new plan, he explained,
he total acreage on a farm in culti-
waited crops would be considered. This
would include tobacco, wheat. corn,
.u,oes, etc. Thus, on two farms of
he same size in a county, if one de-
voted land exclusively to cotton and
~" other devoted part of the acreage
to home feed and food crops, the first
4arm would receive smaller proper
tomato cotton allotment than the Sec
ond.

COMEDY HERE ENDS TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Errol Flynn Plays Title Role in The Perfect
 Specimen

Joan Blondell, the film star, es- capped without even so much as a bruise recently in one of the strang- est accidents ever to occur in a motion picture company.
 The mishap occurred on the Flint ridge country clubs golf course where "The Perfect Specimen troupe was on location, shooting ex- teriors.
 The final sequence of the comedy romance called for Errol Flynn, the male star, to pursue Miss Blondell around the golf course, supposedly a private estate. The actress finally hides inside short length of con- crete pipe that is being laid in an irrigation ditch.
 Flynn finds her there, demands an admission of love and, when t is not forthcoming he lifts the pipe and BlondeH high into the air with a hand winch to which the pipe is attached.
 At Director Michael Curtiz' "cut!' Flynn turned away from the handle of the winch to permit laborers to lower Miss Blondell to the ground At that moment, the lock on the winch drums slipped, dropping the heavy pipe and Miss Blondel fif- teen feet to the ground.
 Fortunately, the pipe landed or a pile of soft dirt and did not shat ter. While the rest of the company stood around horror stricken, Miss Blondell crawled from the pipe.
 That" she commented, was a rather rapid descent"
 The Perfect Specimen will bt seen for the last times tonight al the Coliseum Theatre.

 Griffith Jones, who plays the role of Maureen's brother in the film, delayed accepting Hollywood con- tract in order to appear in Noel Coward's next London production Jones appeared in the New York production of Elisabeth Bergners Escape Me Never" and may again visit the New York stage before going to Hollywood.
 Vivien Leigh, who is expected to win new screen honors as the other girl of "A Tank at Oxford is re- garded by her fellow players and by Director Jack Conway as a young actress who will be given every op- portunity to follow a Hollywood career if she so desires. She, too, was rehearsing a London play when the film was completed.
 A story of the adventures and experiences at Oxford of a cocky young Midwest college athlete who is awarded a scholarship to the famous university, "A Tank at Ox- ford" also presents three outstand- ing British character players in c.

Many Prominent Singers Being Relegated to

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 27.-Gladys Swarthout, the loveliest contralto, is coming back to work out her Paramount contract and they're giving her little epic called Am bush" which is about bank robbers and presumably cops. And she won't sing a note.
 The day of the operatic star in pictures would seem to be over Grace Moore, who started it all with One Night of Love" and long led the popularity parade of the warblers, came to terms with Co., lumbia on that last picture and accepted $50,000 for not making it in lieu of twice that for making it.
 Lily Pons, married now to Andre Kostelanetz is through with pie lures. Nino Martino despite such engaging films as The Gay Des- perado," is back at the Met, along with Jan Kiepura, whose Holly wood effort was a sour note at the box office
 Lawrence Tibbett, who started something in Rogue Song" of the early talkies but did not repeat for Zanuck when he came back, hasn't been heard from cinematical ly since Metropolitan" in 1885. Helen Jepson, who was effective in the "Goldwyn Follies," was com- mitted to Goldwyn for while but the producer let her go for want of an immediate vehicle Kristen Flag stad's film work-in "The Big Broadcast of 1888" has consisted only of an inserted aria.

That leaves, of all the songbirds with operatic pretensions or as- pirations, only the redhafred girl who never saw an opera stage but came to pictures from musical com edy-Jeanette Macdonald Jeanette has ambitions for opera, and puts across an aria in pictures when ever she can-but shes never for gotten that shes a picture actress first. When screen musicals had been discarded, Jeanette stayed on and played straight" roles until they same back and sent her to glory. And Jeanette remains the lone singing queen-and will re- main so unless by some miracle Hope Hampton C'The Road to RenoO catches on at this tail-end of the operatic craze.
 Nelson Eddy who has sung op- era on the stage. is right up there with Jeanette-but Eddy has never sung an aria on the screen.
 And remember when there was talk about producing whole operas on the screen? Ernst Lubitsch had the idea, but that was three years ago Since then Hollywood has been concerned less with costly experi- ments in "art" than it has been with getting returns on it's money and opera -on-the screen would be financial suicide.
 Even Nelson Eddy, who likes to sing it, will tell you that entire op- eras would be movie wash-outs.
 Except for few" he'll tell you, "the plots are so fun of gore, infidelity and assorted mayhem that they'd never get by the Hays office in the first place. In the second, they're time-worn and full of the old hoke. It's the music that keeps the opera fans coming back, but that's not enough in movie"
