Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BUR

| ny yin
Sammy Jay was indignant. Yes,
sir. Sammy Jay was very much put
out. In fact, Sammy was just plain
downright mad. 1t is bad enough to
be found out and blamed for the
things you really do, but to be
blamed for things that you don't co,
and that you don't even know any,
thing about, is more than even Mr..
Jaybird can stand. 1t had begun
when he met Jimmy Skunk early in
the evening.
Hello Sammy Jay. What were
you doing up SO late last night?"
said Jimmy Skunk.
Il wasn't up late. I went to bed
at my usual hour. Just after Mr..
Sun went to bed behind the Purple
Hills" replied Sammy Jay.
"Oh, come, Sammy Jay, be honest
for once in your life. 1t was long,
long time after Mr.. Sun went to bed
that heard you screaming and
making a great fuss over in the
Green Forest. What was it all
about?" said Jimmy Skunk.
Sammy Jay stamped one foot. He
was beginning to lose his temper.
You know he loses it very easily.
Il am honest!" he screamed. II tell
you I went to- bed just as I always
do, and I didn't wake UP until this
morning."
Then you must talk something
dreadful in your Sleep" said Jimmy
Skunk, turning his back on Sammy
Jay, who was so mad by this time
that for a few minutes he couldn't
find his tongue. When he did he
flew off screaming at the top of his
lungs. He was still screaming when
he flew over the Old Briar Patch,
where Peter Rabbit was just be-
ginning to doze off. Peter was
sleepy. He didn't like to have his
morning nap disturbed.
Hi, Sammy Jay! Didn't you
make racket enough last night to
give honest folks a little peace and
quiet today?" shouted Peter Rab-
bit.
Sammy Jay flew up in a young
cherry tree on the edge of the Old
Briar Patch and his eyes were fairly
red as he glared down at Peter
Rabbit.
whats the joke, Peter Rabbit?
That's the second time this morning
that I've been told that I was
screaming last night, when all the
time I was fast asleep" said Sammy
Jay.
Then it's a funny way you have
of sleeping" replied Peter Rabbit.
Come, Sammy, be honest, and tell
me what you were yelling Thief for
over in the Green Forest?"
Peter Rabbit, you and Jimmy
Skunk are crazy, just as crazy as
loons!" sputtered Sammy Jay. Il
tell you was asleep, and guess I
ought to knowi"
And I guess know your voice
when I hear it!" replied Peter Rab-
bit. IT'S bad enough in daytime,
but if were you I'd quit yelling in
the night. Some one of these times
Hooty the Owl will hear you and
that will be the end of you and your
noise. Now go away; want to
sleep"
Sammy went. He was mad clear
through, and yet he didn't know
what to make of it. Were they just
trying to make him mad or had he
really been screaming in his sleep?
He flew over to the Smiling Pool.
Jerry Muskrat looked up and saw
him.
What were you yelling about in
the night. Sammy Jay?" asked
Jerry.
This was too much. Sammy Jay
let his wings and his tail droop de-
jectedly and hung his head.
Il don't know. I really don't
know anything about it." he said.

"IF l HAD MY WAY"
FEATURED AT CAROLINA

Bing Crosby shares honors with
his youngest co~-star, little Gloria
Jean in a bright new Universal
comedy. eff I Had My Way" which
opened yesterday at the Carolina
theatre.
Gay tunes, the best Bing has had
in a long while, are enlivened by
duet arrangements for Bing and
Gloria that are particularly effec-
tive. And with the addition of a
clever supporting cast and an ex-
cellent creen play, "If I Had My
Way" is altogether an appealing
film.
AS always, Crosby's easy pres
ence lends enjoyment to his per-
Torrance, and makes it one of the
best in his long string of success
full pictures. Gloria Jean, hailed as
a major screen discovery after her
debut in 1.-THE Under-Pup," has a
childish charm that is utterly cap
tivating. In several dramatic and
comedy scenes she proves that her
talents as an actress have not
been overestimated.

amazingly impressive and eye
dazzling! These words best De
scribed 1.-THE Hunchback OF Notre
Dame" which opened yesterday
at the Bijou theatre.
A remarkable and convincing
achievement in every department
from basic idea to actual perform
ance, "The Hunchback' can safely
be hailed as the most spectacular
motion picture Hollywood has pro
duced in the last decade, and IN
this writer's judgment it ranks
with the screens stupendous films
of which there are very, very
few!
Vastly superior in every respect
to past efforts to interpret the spa
cious and melodramatic Victor
Hugo thriller, the current version
is a personal triumph for Charles
Laughton, whose Characterization
of the crippled cathedral bell
ringer is without question his
GROWING contribution to the screen.
Equally notable is his superb sup
port, including a host of stage and
screen celebrities - Sir Cedric
Hardwicke, T o a S Mitchell,
Maureen O'Hara, Edmond O'Brien,
Alan Marshal, Walter Hampden
and Katharine Alexander.

West opened the ten of hearts
and South saw that If he simply ran
off four heart tricks he would have
no re-entry to dummy. Thus he
won the first trick with the queen,
led small heart to dummy's king,
then played a club. When East
split his club honors, South won and
forced out East's other honor. East
played third club. Declarer won
and on his last club discarded
spade from dummy.
Next South cashed his two TOP
diamonds. then played the jack of
hearts, overtaking with dummy's
ace. Dummy's queen of diamonds
was now played, and at this point
East held the guarded jack of dia-
monds and two spades. and West
had retained three spades to the
queen plus heart, which was now
high. West, of course, had to let 20

spades won the remaining tricks.
