Charles carried high honors from Figeac to

shortest possible time. Then he announced:
Mother. still want to be an actor
Mrs. Boyer wept little, privately.
Nervous, shy, the young philosopher was
examined orally at the Paris Conservatory of
Drama. They turned him down. He tried
again and was admitted. Two years later
the school directors lifted him from student
rating and gave him the star role in Les
Jardins de Murcie.'
Paris was his. Eight continuous years of
starring followed. Neighboring capitals, then
Egypt, Turkey, Rumania and Syria called.
On each return Paris recrowned him.
He found time to make three pictures in
France, which added to his fame and brought
him to the attention of Hollywood, but which
inspired slight regard in him for the screen.
Hollywood offered him big money to act in
French-anguage versions of American films.
He came But Hollywood honors no kings
crowned elsewhere. Here he was just another
foreigner!
Boyer stood. thoughtful. alert, on sets,
watched the developing marvels of American
picture making. In 1890, in "Redheaded
Woman" starring Jean Harlow. he played
chauffeur. Next year. in another picture, he
spoke two lines. Once he said, "Oui, madame" "
and, later, Non, madame"
1T was no ones fault but mine, " he admits
now, and laughs as he says it. Il could talk
English. but had to think it out as spoke.
An actor shouldn't think about himself; he
should only feel - feel as the character he is
living would feel
That standing on sets and playing minor
parts challenged him - gave him another
battle to fight.

Back to France he went and studied Eng

returned to Hollywood, only to be miscast
in Caravan" I'm just not the type to wear

Charles bought passage home TO study
again but Producer Walter Wanger caught
him at the train and asked him to read a

resultant picture showed America an actor
of depth and subtlety. carried him to second
fame - in America.
To appreciate the success that followed
Boyer's first outstanding American role,

Ten evenings later, over dinner, they de-

they found the house sold out.

His belief, he continued, is that Amer ica would not enter that war, for it is with the great majority, as President Roosevelt has said, T have seen war, and I hate war" :. War is kind of selfishness; it has to be conquered. When Am erica went to war she fulfilled her intended duty of ending war. There is no glory in war today. Mankind, most beautiful thing of Gods cre- ation, was it created to kill our fellow man, destroy with poison nations; but the latter as with the gases, guns, and other means?
 We were created : to be first. happy families. and second, happy nations; but the latter as with the first, cannot live happily without the others. We should be grateful that, we are still able to observe Armistice. Day

 A survey of almost 5000 natives last winter by pr. Joseph Aronson, tuberculosis specialist, showed that 119 per cent had lung infections which had healed without any treat ment, indicating that gradually the Alaskan natives are developing some resistance to tuberculosis. sf

Although a few coastal Indians still rely on the ad- vice of their Medicine Men" most of the Alaskan natives are demand ing medical assistance increasingly each year.

 The fast-moving Warmers bunch must dispose of the lowly high school team to maintain it's pres ent status. The second game, Jen- sens versus Foundry, offers the greatest prospect of excitement of the two games. The former, with highly improved lineup, really has something which the Foundry team so far, not definitely placed for rating, has to do something about, or the fans will be disap- pointed.
