Long Distance Ice

Back in 1905 when there weren't
ice-making machines or electric re-
frigerators, Frederick Tudor of
Saugus, Mass, had an idea. He'd
be long-distance ice man. Ice in
the tropics, he figured, would be I'M
usual-in fact it would be gold in
his pockets. From this Massachu-
sets town he shipped ice to the
West Indies. Tudor personally ac-
companied the first shipment to the
Island of Martinique. He was richly
rewarded and made many later con-
signments.

Rags in Paper Making

During the early 1905, rags for
paper making were so scarce that
they frequently brought as high as
20 cents a pound. Peddlers, travel
ing in red wagons, called on house
holders and traded bibles, tesla
ments, and other books for the good
Wife'S rag supply.

My town is the place where my
home is; where my business is situa-
ted and where my vote is cast; where
my children are educated; where my
neighbors dwell and where my life is
chiefly lived. My town has the right to
my civic loyalty 1t supports me and
should support it," says a down-state
paper. The same rule applies to Ely
and its citizens.

Unemployment will not be solved
until the unemployed are ready to work
for what employers can afford to pay
them. A wage scale that employers

'~That phase Of my life Is over"
John and his fans are sick into bore
dom Of seeing him behind bars in
pictures, or as the frustrated male
with . chip on his shoulder.
"The Sea Wolf" projects him into
the open and salty spaces. Our con-
versation takes place on the deck
Of the good ship Ghost cit was the
Alabatross In the "Sea Hawk'0. A
realistic sea glitters on an enormous
process screen at the back Of the
set. II have a new philosophy, !"
continues Garfield, whose face is
bloodied up (via make-up). He has
just been fighting with Edward G.
Robinson. From now on I accept
everything calmly" Except screen
jailsD
There will be no more additions
to the Garfield family-"until Eng
land wins the war" The boat is
rocking too much for my happiness,
but before I cross the plank to
safety, Garfield tells me Of his ambi-
ton to co-star in a picture with
Bette Davis. II think" says John,
"she has more sex appeal than any
other actress in Hollywood" ""I would

a long enough sentence for any
man."
To tease George q little, I say to
Bette, "Well, you've nothing to
grumble about with your three-pic-
tures-a-year contract" "Yeah?"
she replies. I gather that Bette,
as well as Brent, joins the free
lancers when Warmers are foolish
enough to let her slip through the
studios fingers.
To pierce the gloom. I say to
Brent, "Well, at least you must have
enjoyed making love to Ann Sheri-
dan in Honeymoon for Three"
That's just it," grumbles George.
There was practically no lovemak-
ing at all in that one!" He is
pessimistic about AIMS prospects Of
winning her fight with the studio.
"I hope it does her some good"
says George. But I was on strike
for 10 months once, and I didn't
gain a thing. They have the upper
hand always"
This Is beginning to depress me,
so I return to "The Letter" As
usual, Bette gives all the credit for
success to the director William
Wyler. And she is also more inter-
ested in the success Of the other
players than her own-particularly
James Stephenson, as the lawyer.
She explains why she Is killed of
in the final scene (Katharine Cor
nell and Jeanne Eagles were allowed
to liye).

"The Hays Office insisted on my
death. I was bad, so had to die.
But to live in this case would have
been greater punishment. The Hays
ONCE didn't understand that" When
you see the picture-and you must
see it-youu agree with Bette.
There is nothing depressed about
John Garfield in THE Sea Wolf"
His mood is rather one Of grim de-
termination. Il will never again 60

BY tne Associated freSS.
HOLLYWOOD.
Movie cinerlatographers have
found that not one person in q
hundred has a perfectly matched
face-the kind that, when photo
graphed, will look exactly the same
from either side.
LET any one who doubts this be
photographed under exactly the
same conditions on each side Of
the face" says Arthur Todd, q
studio expert.
"Then have one side printed nor
mally, the other with the negative
reversed. That will give two left
or right-profiles, and show how
much difference there is between
them"
Todd says some actors and &C
tresses are left profiles and some
are right profiles, which makes 1t
just dandy when it comes to Sc
lecting partners who face each other
in love scenes.
% Todd says few leading players
have bad prof1les. II they did, he
adds, they wouldn't stay In pic
lures very long.

There would be fewer bores In
the world if more people talked
shop.
Few persons know a great deal
about more than one subject. But
any fairly intelligent, fairly sue
cessful person knows a doggone
lot about his specially.
When he is talking about that,
his eyes shine, his face lights up
and his voice is filled with enthu-
siasm and vigor. He is sure that
his line of work is important, and
he can tell you why it is impor-
tant, how it is tied up with larger
things. If he didn't know that for
sure, he wouldn't be any good in
his job-and he is good.
He Knows What
He's Talking About
So, when he talks shop to you
he is on home ground. He is at
his best. And, furthermore, he is
talking about a subject on which
he is an authority.
Forbid him to talk shop, make
him talk about subjects on which
he has little knoWledge-and he
is likely to bore you.
More than that, you are likely
to think, What a stupid fellow
OF course, the person who talks
shop must be able to edit" his
conversation. He'll be a bore
even when on a subject he knows
if he doesn't pick out the inter.
esting things to tell you, and leave
out the facts that would impress
rather than interest you.
Select Items
Of Real Interest
For instance. the man who sells
automobiles could tell you of some
new and startling designs he has
just seen. That you would be inter
ested in. You wouldn't care how
many cars he sold last month.
CUnless, of course, you r a COM
petitor.)
A pretty safe rule in talking
shop is to talk in terms Of a field
ticular job.
