Although there is noticeable
lull in politics throughout the
State, undercover the b'hoys are
still at it. There is a good deal Of
talk in Baltimore of cutting the
ticket in November in regards to
the Radcliffe-Nice Senatorial fight.
Your Rowing Reporter doesn't
think, however, f1lat those con-
templating cutting the Democratic
TICKET will get very far. The Rad
cliffe-Jackson-Tydings organization
has shown its strength and even
if for the sake of argument the
Bruce-O'Conor organization should
do everything but come out in the
open for Mr.. Nice it would not be
sufficiently strong to beat the OPP
position.
The observation-disclosures ydings
outfit in Baltimore are in high
spirits. Your reporter has talked
to several lieutenants of these
bosses and they have but one pur-
pose in mind. Mainly to get Mr..
Radcliffe reelected and then
watch out for they are out for
Governor O'Conor and any honest
observer of State politics will
tell you that Governor O'Conor's
prestige has sunken far below
that of the former Governor, Harry
Nice. Governor Nice, while in of
flee, was more popular than Gov
ernor OConor is today. Taking
into consideration that any man
who might be elected to this high
office will naturally lose lot of
friends because it is impossible to
take care of everybody that had
a hand in their election. Why
Governor O'Conor is so unpopular
at this present time is hard to
figure out. But one thing is OBJ
viOus - he has less jobs to give
out than any governor in the last
fifteeu years. Before Mr.. Nice
left office he swore in 500 en-
plOyees that would have been
open for Governor O'Conor to give
out. All of these employees were
put under the merit system and as
Governor O'Conor had counted on
them it left him in rather an en-
barrassing position. Be that as it
may there is still something far
deeper than not being able to
give out these jobs to the b'hoys.
Keep your eye on Charles E.
recently appointed to the
State Accident Commission. Mr..
if all goes we'll, will run
for Attorney General against Mr..
Walsh. There is talk of Mr.. Walsh
for Governor but regard
less of that Mr.. Moylan has his
eye out for that lucrative position.

dominate the markets without
much consideration of ultimate inn

Then came the "War of Keys

It's an interesting story. But
let's get back to the Keys. The
old motion was resurrected. In
stead of presenting one Key to
the President of the United
States, the b'hoys tipped the
quantity to three - one to the
Hon. Franklin D., one to Cover
nor O'Conor and (cursesD one
to Ex-Mayor Lee! And bitter as
it may seem TO Mayor Richard,
the name of Mayor Lee and all
the CounciImen appeared on the
dainty little plate attached to
the wooden Keys! There was
no mention of Mayor Richard be-
ing Head Man, as of the Year
of Our Lord, one thousand,
nine hundred and forty. The
irony Of it all!
I'm told that Mayor Richard
was recovering from the shock
rather nicely until several days
40 when he received letter
from citizen, asking: "Who
is Mayor of Hagerstown, any
way?"
During Mayor Lees regime,
he ordered gross of bio Keys
to be used on special occasions.
And since that time they have
been presented to visiting digni-
taries ranging from Beer Barrel
Tony to those specializing in the
removal of bunions. But it seems
that there won't be any more
Keys for the visiting notabIes.
Mayor Richard is gonna toss 'em
all in the furnace. But on Sec
ond thought, he can't do that
because the heating apparatus
in Mayor Lees Memorial is an
oil job.
But, the Battle of Mayors" is
a welcome relief, what with all
the European War News and
Fifth Columns. One thing, too,
should not be overlooked. 1t is
definitely conceded that, Keys
or no Keys, Mayor Richard has
everything under controI-that
is, maybe, or should we say, per-
haps!
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-06-07

Of course, that was o. K. at
the time, but it seems that Mayor
Richard had other ideas when he
moved in. II seems that while
Mayor Lee had departed for for
Elm shores his influence at City
Hall still prevailed and that
annoyed Mayor Richard no end.
So he thereupon tackled upon the
walls of Mayor EIgin's Monu-
ment a plaque devoid of Mayor
Lees monicker. 1t merely read:
Erected by the Citizens of Ha-
gerstoWn." And to make it
unanimous Mayor Lee wasn't
called upon for a speech by Mas
ter of Ceremonies Panborn when
the dedication ceremonies were
held.

comedy, with more than touch of glamor
thrown in.
1t was not intended as really big picture,
no colossal epic, but the point was, from Miss
de Havillands angle, that it gave her chance
to carry picture right smack on her own
shoulders. The fate of My Love Came Back
depended squarely upon the competence of
her work, and she regarded it as the beginning
of new phase of her career as an actress. The
picture has had unusual success for such
modest effort, and Miss de Havilland's judg-
ment, and her confidence in her ability, have
been justified.
She is on her way, now. and she knows it.
Possessed of quick intelligence, grand
sense of humor and unusual personal charm,
this little girl is one of the picture colony's
own favorites, and it is to the unanimous
applause of Hollywood that she is proving she
has more to offer than real hair and eyes that
open and shut; that she can say more than
Mama" when you wind her up

public was growing confused as to whether
she was one of the actors or sort of human
set of dishes given away at the end of the
seventh reel and demanded a chance to play
parts less doll-like in their requirements.
But nothing happened until Gone With
The Wind came along She was given chance
to test for the part of Melanie.
This was the break she had been waiting
for. and she made the most of it, turning in a
test which won her the part hands down. 1t
was not easy. Although in the book from
which the movie was made. Melanie in the
beginning had nothing more important to do
than to exude sweetness and light - quite
in line with Miss de Havilland's previous
experience - her part in the story's climax
was highly dramatic In the picture, her suf-
fering and near r-death had to be exceptionally
we'll done in order to carry the story through
the intense drama of the background, the
burning and fall of Atlanta.
That she did this in one of the surprise
supporting part triumphs of the year is
motion-picture history. The response of the
public to her work was enthusiastic; the
critics pointedly recognized the dramatic
ability she so clearly had demonstrated.

But now the studio wanted her to 60 back
to portraying the Eternal Maid Marian in her
vine-clad tower. Miss de Havilland mixed that
idea. She felt she had proved that she could
act with more than her eyelashes, and she was
going to do it from now on. She battled with
the studio for six months, deity catching and
tossing back every script they hurled at her.
Refused the Port
OINE part she would have enjoyed playing
during this period was that of the young wife
in Rebecca, and she was invited by the pro-
ducer to test for it. But she found that her
sister Joan Fontaine, already had made tests
for the part. She refused to go into oompeti-
tion with Miss Fontaine. for whom she is as
ambitious as she is for herself Her sister got
it, of course, and did memorable job.
Then came the script of picture to be
called My Love Came Back Miss de Havil-
land read it. and the differences between her
and the studio were dissipated by mutual
consent. She was given the lead in this, oppo-
site Jeffrey Lynn, in role unlike anything
she had ever attempted: that of tempera-
mental musician and it called for the works
