less thing and could be so easily over
come if only the greedy few who have
with their money usurped all power
in the running of this government,
would give little attention to lifting
up their fellow beings, who IN most
cases are better than they.
In a recent piece in this paper l
said it was not right to pay certain
class worker up North $24.N for eight
hours work while the same class
worker in North Carolina got only
$728. Perhaps that is what rlled Mr..
Parham and caused him to complain
about my articles in the paper. He
you know has many people working
tor him just as al rich men have.
In that same paper 1 said the Dies
Committee was bad thing as 1T was
the servant of organized wealth ana
sought to destroy Franklin ID. Roose-
welt the greatest bulwark between
the producing class and the plutocrats
We ever had. If this Dies Committee
is allowed to continue as it has been

be allowed to organize and have any

Parham angry as he thought of those
who work for him. 1 hope not but ii
it did there is nothing 1 can do about
it, for the truth must be told if we
are to have better times for all in
this country.
Now 1 want to say to Mr.. Parha am
and all the many who he says do not
agree with me 1 will be glad if they
will put in this fair paper just what
l have said that is not true. These
things 1 have been writing about are
of first Importance to us all, not on
to the farmers and workers but to
the merchants, doctors, lawyers,
preachers and every one who wants
to see prosperous and peaceful coun
try. Bring your thoughts out in the
open where all men may see where
you stand on these all important
questions. I certainly welcome any

that general fund raids on the high

Little Opposition To-

Henderson expects little trouble
from Warrenton when the basketball
teams meet in a doubleheader Wed
nesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the
high school gym.
In a previous meeting at Warren
ton, the Henderson aggregations
walked off with wins by sizeable mar
gins, Warrenton showing little in the
way of scoring power.
The Henderson girls are as yet I'M

the local lassies to hand them their

and all through the scale of state &C

evitably create a most embarrassing
situation for the next legislature.

he will not be in office then, and
isn't as careful as he might be of

of Victor McLaglen, Wallac Beery

up in front.
Visitors to Warner Bros green
room at lunch time were treated
to some surprising interludes when
William was acting for that studio.
Working in a picture, he would bring
his script into the restaurant, order
his food and study hard until it ar
rived. Then he would rest the script
against glass directly before him
and begin talking to it, sometimes
in loud voice that filled uninitiated
visitors with CONSERVATION.
According to an old associate
who was working on the picture at
the time, Marlene Dietrich holds the
all-time Hollywood record for dia-
logue blow-ups on single scene.
This occurred during the filming of
Scarlet Empress" in 1884, when,
ne says, 81 takes were necessary for
passage requiring fewer than so
words of dialogue. The scene took
three days to complete to the salts

plainly that he played George Kauf-

them all at it. His change of pace,
his alteration of comedy and

A word about the battle scenes.
In all amateur and 95 per cent of
the professional productions, these
scenes seem to consist Of two people
or half a dozen or maybe 200
whanging away at one another for
a moment and then suddenly call
ing an armistice to give an actor a
chance to utter words. Without any
sense of strain at all, Margaret
Webster, the director, has made the
battle seem fluid, rolling thing, q
storm with natural lulls in it.
1t all seemed so very good that

be he will be called 10 per cent Willie

ress spent all of her time at home
studying up on screen roles. This
may have contributed to Bette's loss
of husband, but it undoubtedly
has proved a salient factor in estab-
fishing her as Hollywood's best act
reSS.
Hedy Lamar doesn't study nights,
but works in her dressing room just
before shooting time. Her maid
reads the part aloud, and Heddy
writes it down with pencil. John
Garfield does the same thing, only
his wife acts as his reader and
prompter.
The fastest study" among all
players in Hollywood excepting
"One-Take" Temple, of course-is
Robert Montgomery. All directors
agree to that. One of the most in
telligent men in the acting group,
Montgomery is an avid reader and
student of the arts. He possesses
such rapid-fire mind that he re-
talnS the longest and most involved
passages in script with only scant
application. He is one performer
too, who never need be prompted on
pronunciations. In other words
Montgomery is directors delight
Don Amache is rated second.

stage as she mutters her lines. AT

dressing room with a phonograph
going full blast directly toward her
ears, repeating the lines she is

the newest of the group, THE

now before the cameras the Hardy's

QUESTION is delayed by the custom
arv rival heir and the inevitable
gold-digger who seeks to help out
the villainous fellow by involving
Mickey Rooney.
Switching from genre to CUSTOM
arily fantastic Hollywood plot pre-
sented certain problems, for Metro
was aware that followers Of the
family may be alienated if the char
acters deviate too much from the
conception in earlier stories. For in
stance, young Rooney is not per-
mitted to smoke or drink, although
he associates wit hthe gay night club
set. His abstinence from liquor is
accounted for by promise he gives
his father never to touch drop,
and although he takes out an occa-
sional cigarette, some fortuitouS cir
cumstance prevents consummation
of the debauchery His sister, Ce-
ella Parker, is not thrown in the
path of such temptation, for her
character seems to have no leaning
toward such stimulants.
The profit of the Hardy series to
Metro per invested dollar is greater
than any other pictures from that
studio. The first involved the mod
est budget Of $225, 900, but with the
increasing success of each episode,
the cost has been enlarged until
s400,000 is being reached in The
Hardy's Ride High" Most of this
added money will be spent on sets,
for a Detroit mansion and several
night clubs must be shown: each
cafe involves a neat sum because Of
the large number of extras needed.
Among the guest stars who will per-
form with the Hardy stock company,
which now consists of Rooney, Miss
Parker, Lewis Stone, Fay Holden
and Sara Haden. will be Halliwell
Hobbies as the butler, Virginia Gray
as Mickey's inamorata and Don

Low License Tags
Prove No Fun

1t used to be definitely the thing
for Hollywood stars to pull strings
to get themselves low-numbered
automobile license plates or those
with trick numbers, especially with
one Of their initials in the lineup.
But no more. Eddie Watkins, who
obtains plates for stars and workers
at Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer as q studio
service, reports stars and players
are all asking for the biggest possible
numbers. And" he says, II was
turned down on two trick numbers
-42x42 and 43x43-and had to get
rid of them with a couple Of studio
electricians"
Stars have discovered low and
trick license plates are too easily
remembered, passed among fans by
word Of mouth and too quickly rec
