A KEY WESTER RAMBLES
AROUND THE COUNTRY: Out

of the Jean Hersholt set we come
and walk around bit. Suddenly
this huge apparition appears
from around the corner of the
set. 1t is Oliver Hardy and
Laurel is not far behind. Both
of their faces are daubed with
white grease paint and they cut
quite some figure with baggy
pants not helping much. They
are filming feature with air
plane stunts and castle sets.
Down the walk a little way is
Harold Lloyd's bungalow which
is his home when making pic
lures. That night we went rid
ing out toward Hollywood Bowl.
Right in front of us stopping US
and many others is none other
than Orson Welles-and you
can't change his poise in the
middle of that roaring traffic
for anything. He stands there
calmly and beckons to his wife on
the sidewalk to cross over. But
she refuses and with only the
slightest shrug of his shoulders
he ambles away calmly. He wears
a huge Van Dyke type of beard.
Welles you will remember is the
actor producer who startled a
nation with fictionized radio
account of an invasion of earth
by Martians which was so real it
disrupted several small towns.
He now has a producer-actor
contract whereby he can make
his own pictures and act in them
as he pleases. So good is he.
Tomorrow We'll tell of some of
the peculiarities in Hollywood
shooting on the set.

ateO fresSD
Ieign National Anthems have
gene the way of all flags.
1t may be interesting to you to
consider that this flag ceremony
while courteous and a very flat
tering, is also an expensive one
There are, literally, hundreds oil
nations. The large type of flag
used in this ceremony is, extraor-
dinarily expensive. So that when
you consider that hundreds OF
these flags must be purchased,
you may appreciate that here is
an investment running into thou
sands of dollars.
Another gesture in behalf of
neutrality is particularly note
worthy and calls for hats off to
Fredric March and the producers
of his play, ''The American Way,
which is anti-Nazi in every line
and castigates the German-Amer-
lean Bunds. The producers an
nounced the play was being
closed because it inflamed pub
lie opinion and, therefore, work.
ed against the interest. of peace.
An unfortunate consequence of
this, however, will be unemploy-
ment for a cast of actors and
actresses which totals more than
one hundred people. Thus they
take their place with others who
are the unfortunate victims of
war.
I was thinking the other day
when I read this notice in the
newspapers what a marvellous
time o. Henry would have, and
what wonderful opportunities it
would suggest to Jimmy Valen-
tine, if he were around.
The notice I refer to was the
paid advertisement of The Bank
For Savings, and it stated simply
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-09-20

that 1856 persons had at one time
or another opened savings &C
counts and forgotten to call about
them. This must have happened
long time ago, for the bank sug-
.gests that the people who opened
these accounts, or their heirs" +,
put in their claims.
Now under state law these
funds will revert to the stage un-
less petitions are put through
and authenticated. So if you have
any long lost uncle who went to
Australia a long time ago and dis
appeared, you'd better ascertain
whether or not his name is on
this list. 1t just might be that
here in New York tidy fortune
is waiting for you.
If YOU live out of the city and
would like a list of the names
published in connection with this
affair, presume the Bank For
Savings, New York, N. Y, would
be glad 10 send you one.

TRAGEDY TOO VAST TO UNDERSTAND

Words are inadequate to suggest the
horrors of warfare or the suffering of
human beings in the struggle. The human
mind finds it difficult to realize that mil
lions of men are involved in a death
grapple, that the Ingenuity of civilized
peoples is now being used to promote
slaughter and that women and children
will inevitably bear a burden of pain that
almost transcends belief.
Somehow, we seem not to comprehend
that battles are fought by human beings,
that victory means bloody corpses and
blasted bodies of husbands, sons and sweet
hearts.
In the weller of human suffering what
difference does it make if the individual is
a misguided German YOUTH veteran of
France, or defender of Polish soil? Man
kind is once again at grips with death,
loosening emotions that blind the intellect
and scar the soul. What net profit is there,
regardless of what army captures what
village, or what general displays his
strategy?
The answer to these questions en-
phasizes the futility of warfare and the
shooting guns tell us of the inability of men
to solve the problems of their world. Old
hates, bitter enmities, present suspicious
and future fears combine to make beasts
of men. The elemental RACES take posses
sion of human beings, who become the vic
TINS of their own prejudices, ignorance
and folles.
Until human beings become more in
telligent, until they become more spirit
ually-minded, there is little prospect of
peace upon the earth. The days of So
called peace will be but the preliminary
period in which to prepare for new wars.
In time, new vital issues will present.
new crises and the youth of the world will
be led to the slaughter-house again.
There is nothing to be gained by
name-calling, by emotional denunciation
of others, by flag-waving and breast-beat-
ing.
Soldiers across the water are being
killed; women and children are being
blasted in their sleep; untold human be-
ings are foretasting the misery of months
to come.
Human intelligence has failed to con-
troll the emotions of men; human frailties
have lured new victims to death and the
earth and it's people will suffer.
Men and women on both sides accept
their fate bravely. They play their parts
with some degree of nobility, with prayer
on their lips to the God they worship and
the conviction in their hearts that He is
with them in fight for honor, truth and
justice!

Force must be met with force; ap-

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (AP).-
One of little old New York's most
/ picturesque customs has been
victimized by the war, and hence
forth no foreign flags will fly
from the mastheads when visiting
diplomats and other distinguished
dignitaries are guests in New
York hotels. Ever since New
York has been a metropolis of
any consequence whatever, it
has been an interesting ceremony
to honor foreign representatives
by raising their native flags above
the hotels where they were
guests. l have often seen the
Union Jack floating lazily by the
side of the Stars and Stripes
above one of the major hotels in
Manhattan, and what was as sure
an indication as word from the
Embassy at Washington that Sir
Ronald, the former British Am
basador, was in town. Indeed
you had only to drive through
the avenue and note the colors
above the hotels to guess fairly
accurately who the days visiting
diplomats were. -,
A number of hotels in discon-
tinuing this time honored cour-
tesy give as their reason: neu-
trality. In keeping with the
Presidents request that everyone
refrain from making statements,
or in making display, of words,
and deeds, these hotels believe
the interests of American peace
will best be served if the flag
custom is suspended, temporarily
anyway. And so from now on
the only waving colors you will
see will be the American flag.
And the only national anthem
you will hear in the dining rooms
and dance halls of these hotels
will be your own. Because For
