two 11-year-old boys. Both lads
were Of the same general propor-

So close was their resemblance that
in the glare of the camera lights,
Mr.. Smith could hardly tell Dick
from Larry.
The bout started and went great
guns because both lads wanted to
show Director Tay Garnett how
game they were. At the end of the
second round Dick went over to
Smith and pantingly said, II don't

other function at the moment than
being just back from Europe. She
came here to visit friends, not as a
carrier of important information to
be delivered sub rosa to any one in a
key position. If she plays Mata
Hari, it will be in a movie, and Miss
Carroll would like that understood
especially by the romance minded
who have tried to see spectacular
significance in her visit.
America, Miss Carroll also would
have it understood, is a very fine
place to be. After a week on the
liner Champlain between France
and this country, she volunteers the
information that you don't know
what 1t means to sit in a bedroom
which you know will not be torpe-
doed or bombed. know because the
first night I found myself in such a
room, I cried for two hours, very
luxurious reaction"
The two weeks prior to that luxury
were a fortnight of wartime horror
to Miss Carroll First of them was
spent in her home 26 miles from
Paris being not merely hostess but
maid OF all work to several score
orphans evacuated from a school in
the French capital All the cooking
and all the cleaning fell to the lot
OF the articulate Miss Carroll, an
experience of which she has to say
only, Thank Heaven I knew how
to do both" The second week was
the one she spent on the Champlain,
a period which she devoted to scam
ming the horizon for periscopes after
having been one of the unlucky few
aboard Informed by the captain as
to the fate of the Athena. Miss
Carroll thinks the chief officer was
a very nice person for having told
her the story, but just the same she
feels 1t might have been a happier
crossing had he not mentioned the
Athena.
About the only time HOLLYWOOD
crept into the chatter was with ref
erence to the possible resumption of
her place on that radio program,
the Circle, with Groucho Marx. etc.
The program, what with Grouchos
ad libbing, may not have been a
happy experience for other mem
bers Of the cast, but Miss Carroll
does not feel the same way. One of
the clnema's ladies best qualified for
a duel of wits, she welcomes the in
corrigible Marx streak that refuses
to bend itself into conformity with
the requirements of radio script.
1t was while Miss Carroll was
being her bright self on that subject
that some one mentioned her latest
picture, Honeymoon in Bali" the
reason for her press conference.
War and radio took back seat
then while she discussed the genius
OF children for dominating scenes
In pictures. The child in question
is a youngster, Carolyn Lee, 3l2, for
whom Miss Carroll suggests Earle
audiences be on the alert. Not, of
course. that they will need to be on
the alert if she is correct in her
estimate OF Carolyn Lees talent, but
because she is one actress who can
afford to mention some one else in
her pictures.
Only quibble one might find in
session with Miss Carroll is her
reference to herself as a refugee.
She was not, she says, able to get
her wardrobe out of Europe, but
fashion editors participant in the
interview did not know it.
How, then should a mere drama
editor?

dimples were again in her cheeks.
There they waited two weeks to
hunt deer and net fish, under the
ice, for dog-food for the long trip
to the coast.

American Sucker, Unique Fish Which
Carries Own Bait, Greed and Dishonesty

Although more than q, 600 differ
ent varieties of fish already have
been catalogued and new types con-
stantly are being brought to light
there is only one species, which car
ries its own bait.
This unique fish is commonly
known as the sucker and the bait is
mixture of greed and dishones-
ty, says writer in the Chicago
Daily News.
Thousands of these fish are hooked
every year by con men who, al
though using a variety of lines,
toss out the same old hook which has
caught the over-greedy suckers for
generations. The fishermen them
selves have a very low code of
morals but they live up to it and do
not class themselves with crooks or
thieves.
I'VE just work the suckers" one
remarked, "And if the fish wasn't
perfectly willing to grab of some
other suckers kale he wouldn't take
the hook.
Farmers bite? should say not"
he replied in answer to a query as
to where the best fishing grounds
were. Country folk work hard for
their money and want to investigate
before they lay out q dollar, The
big cities are filed with fish that
have the bait in plain sight and all
one needs to land them is a good
line and a fairly strong hook.

had been struggled through the Gus

the phone and give three long rings
and a short one and the entire
town would know that a SNUG
gler was sitting in her kitchen and
the town marshal would be on the
scene before you could say Jack
Robinson with your mouth open.
"When the silk was taken down
to the general store, and found to
have been grown in the Carolinas,
the fisherman would be called on to
change his line and hook for heavy
sledge hammer and be sentenced
to make canary bird tombstones

Con men who invent new tackle
look in scorn on those who persist
in employing lines and hooks. which
have been used for generations. Il
il almost unbelievable that q man
who had m-de a success of leRi-
innate business to the extent of n
