not to try. In spite of her own
success, she looks back upon the
procedure of bringing Peggy to the
attention Of the proper people, as
much too hard job to be recon-
mended to any one. If any other
human activity has more heart
break and WEAKNESS in 1t, Mrs.
Garner has not found 1t or even
heard rumors Of 1t.
She speaks on the subject not
merely as a participant in the
seemingly endless trek from studio
to studio, but as one who observed
the whole process intelligently.
I'VE were the fortunate ones
among thousands of others who were
not fortunate" she says.

In her own case, the impulse to

Garner says. II always have been
certain Peggy had talent" she says,
"and her contract-one OF those six
months option affairs-conflrms my
confidence.
I'VE went to Hollywood without
even an agent to help us. I knew

The first person connected with

Of help Mr.. Tone turned out to be,

The first studio executive whose

Farrow was not in, just as nobody

Roadsiders
Shoot Lid
OffSeasOn
Audience Sings
For Sheer Joy
At Opening

They shot the lid off the melo-
drama season at the Roadside
Theater last night and everybody
had more darned fun. THE
Pioneers Daughter" was the occa-
sion for all the shooting. Whether
it was the long absence of the Gus
toners from the starlit meadows,
the splendidly hokey quality of the
play, or something even more defiant
of diagnosis, the theater's sixth sea-
son got off to an exuberant start.
The audience was so happy, in fact,
that during one lull for a scene
shift it broke out into loud and
lusty singing of the theme music
arranged and played by Betty Gray.
That is the custom, of course, be-
tween acts, but hardly in those
little fragments of time represented
by a substitution of backdrops.
"The Pioneers Daughter" is an
excellent choice for the seasons
opening play at the barn, which the
faithful, with q fine disdain for
fact, call red. It is melodrama in
the best tradition of the Roadsiders,
a melodrama so filled with wicked
white men that the author had to
make the Indians nice chaps just
to keep a proper balance between
good and evil. So rich is it in ho-
KUN that the critics thought 1t was
being played for the last shred of
ham until Director Ralph Fowler
pointed out that he had taught the
boys and girls to 60 straight, that
any effect to the contrary was in
herent in the play.
The cast which shares the fun
with the audience Is an especially
good one, well directed. Larry Law
renee, as "a true guide and noble
man." is excellent; Theodore Tiller,
I'd, is the same as quack phrenolo-
gist; Betty Brunstetter is Heavens
gift to 1939ers who wonder what q
'49er's daughter really was like, and
Milton Freedman and Paul Messink
are as dirty a pair of villains as
ever laid stained hands on stain
less people.
THE Pioneers Daughter" is
staged just about as handsomely as
anything the Roadsiders ever offered
their hiss-loving public. Alan, l..
Ferry earns q palm for his settings,
six and all swell, and Dorothy Crois-
SAINT for the costumes.
You had better plan to get out
one night In the next two weeks.

name of the picture when it was

Kind Women Marry" and in spite
of the acidulous flavor of the title,
it probably will 60 on being called

At any rate, Peggy is in it, did

Well. I've been threatening to
write about the lobby for a long
time and now seems to be about
the best time to do it.
In the first place, there are at
least two major divisions among
the lobbyists. There is one class
that lobbies for something for its
own associates. 1t pays its own
expenses and always wears Ell
Their a surprised or a harrassed
look. Then there is a class that
is always headed nowhere fast,
looks well fed and nourished-as
it is. That class is on a salary
and or commission Gf you know
what that land or" means you get
the ideaD.
Ever see a hive of bees swarm?
Well, the third house" of the
Florida Legislature (no different
from any other or Congress) is
exactly that. You hear the buzz
even in the basement if you hap
pen to go up that way. On the
main floor of the Capitol it is
noisy enough that you have to
raise your voice with your hat
when you greet a lady friend.
And on the second floor where
the Senate and House corridors
meet-boy, that's a racket!
Back home there is prevalent
an idea that lobbyists are crooks.
Nothing of the kind. The class
that is here on it's own business
is really doing a patriotic duty.
1t is trying to get the laws to
conform to what it believes is
right and just to its own indus
try or profession. The class that
is paid is trying to carry out its
employers wishes in the best
way it can. looking after the in
terests of the particular industry
or profession that employs it
There is nothing degrading in be-
ing lobbyist. Not any more
than being butcher or grocery
keeper. Either can cheat and
chisel more than a lobbyist.
And these lobbyists, although
they make life a misery for the
Senators and Representatives,
really serve good purpose. No
member of the Florida Legisla-
ture knows everything about
every subject and in the thou
sand-odd bills already in the hop
pers there are many abstruse
angles that nobody but one well
versed and trained in that par
ticular line could see and evalu-
ate. So the wisdom of the lobby
is loaned to Tor forced UPON the
members of both Houses and it
does some good.
However, just SO the writer of

Mercy Killings Advocated
For Congenitally Unfit
Recommended By DR.. Fos-
ter Kennedy, Head OF
Neurological Division OF
New York Hospital
Especial to The Citizen,

NEW YORK, May ia pro-
gram designed to legalize the
mercy killings" of tens of thou
sands of persons in the United
States who are congenitally I'M
fit and about whom no diagnos-
tic error could be possible was
suggested in a signed article in
Golfers today friday by DR..
Foster Kennedy, head of the
Neurological Division of New
York's Bellevue Hospital, and
professor of neurology at the Cor
nell University Medical College.
Under the title "Euthanasia: To
Be or Not To Be" DR.. Kennedy
advocates the merciful legal re-
lease of life of those he describes
as natures mistakes. Explain
ing that I'VE doctors do not al
ways know when a disease in a
previously healthy person has be-
come entirly incurable", he states:
The case is far different with
natures mistakes. Here the
brain, damaged beyond repair,
perhaps in birth, lacks power to
grow. Here there can be, after
five years of life, no error in
diagnosis, nor any hope of bet
terment even to near normality.
Nor is there mind enough to hold
any installation of a dream to
live by; no hope either or normal
dying. To these unfortunates we
surely might be allowed legally
to grant a dreamless and unend-
ing sleep.
I'VE must not attempt to aim
or to draw laws for the idea of
euthanasia as a whole. l have
tried TO indicate where these
ideas could beFiniost- merrifuIlys
applied with the least, the min
imal. chance of error, and l have
warned of these problems in
which our wisdom and judgment
may sometimes err.
Fer the present. let things be
as they are for the man bound in
pain for a while. Our ways of
assuaging pain grow apace. But
let us try to relieve of living the
young person or child who should
never have lived at all-the tens
of thousands of congenitally un-
fit about whom no diagnostic err
ror could be possible.

this column may not be regarded
by all the members as a neophyte,
it may be well to mention that
those lobbyists who are on the
"andIor" basis may report to
their employers that crisis has
arrived and others appear on the
scene. What happens then is sin
executive session" and adds no
noise to the buzz in what might
be termed the rotunda of the
Capitol. Influence is exerted in
many ways in these sessions.
Read o. Henry's ''The Arena" and
you will discover that folks don't
change much from one genera
ton to another. 0. Henry was
a newspaper mana good one.
Along with lobbyists the mass
mind reverts to attaches. Much
has been said and written about
attaches. In story from all of
them are striking blondes or
stunning brunettes and here and
there bewitching redhead
thrown in for contrast. Truth of
the matter is that the attache
committee is the most harrassed
bunch of aging gentlemen you
can find anywhere. There are a
dozen applicants hungrily await
ing every new niche. The best
commentary | can give you is
that l have noticed the most
gorgeous giI1 of all the applicants

and here we are in the fifth week
of the session. There are wives

gorgeous girl is still outside.
Doesn't match your notion, does
it?
There are lot of things you
think your legislators do that
they don't do and lot of things
you think they neglect that they
simply don't have time to attend
to. Think that over! This week
they have an early breakfast, at

time for the session, half the
time miss their lunch, work I'M

SIONS OF CITY

Miss Marie Rand, visitor in Key

impressions. Miss Rand is an
artist with the Fleischer studios
in Miami. She writes:
Everyone kept telling me
there was no point in going to
Key West. Nothing Ito see and
nothing to do, so I wanted to sat
isfy myself and visit this place,
and see this queer place, out of
sheer curiosity; so with two of
my friends we went, and were
delighted.
key West is like several chap
tiers taken from history books.
The town is quaint, people are
very friendly and courteous. You
can really say the city has the
good old fashioned southern hos
pitallty.
1T seems odd, yet enchanting,
to view people fishing from their
front porcnes, and to be able to
alp water from the Atlantic
ocean and a few minutes later
up more out of the Gulf of
Mexico, as we did in that de-
lightful city.
Il think IN the very near flu
ture Key West will be one of the
largest winter vacatloning resorts
in the United States. Saturday
night life is the life for every
person to 60 to Key West and
see, in fact they would have to
go to really understand what 1
mean.
Il am very glad my curiosity
urge was strong enough to en-
courage me to visit the city and
hope that something turns up to
present the opportunity to again
do SO. 1t was really thrilling to
stand on Duval street and realize
you were on the longest street in
the world, which reaches from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of
Mexico. I
Restaurants and sidewalk
cafes are nice, clean and inviting
