Wednesday in Columbia's THE Lone
Wolf Strikes" Once more Warren
William portrays the international
scapegrace who mixes robbery and
romance Unfortunately and this
time pretty Joan Perry is the cause
of the debonair Michael Lanyard
returning to the ways of crime.
The new adventures of the Lone
Wolf have already been hailed by
critics, not alone because the film
marks the renewal of what amounts
to a screen tradition, but also be-
cause of the excellent cast and thrill
ing entertainment value of the film
itself. The picture opens with the
Lone Wolf in retirement, happy with
his seclusion and his goldfish, much
to the disgust of Eric Blore, his hi,
larious valet. A close friend of the
Lone VOLTS is murdered and a fab
ulous necklace is stolen, so the deb

screen roles by studying all char

takingly, asserts that the practice
is not only valuable to him as an
actor but as an average citizen.
He points as an example to the
study he made for edison the
Man." the dramatic film biogra-
ply which comes to the Carolina
theatre next Thursday for an en-
gagement of three days.
The star says his study of the
careers of Father Flanagan for
Boys Town." Henry M. Stanley
for STANLEY and Livingston" and
Major Robert Rogers for North
west Passage" were both inspira-
tional and Informative but that
Edison's life was a highlight in his
research areer
For n thing" he says,
"Edison's patience was astound-
ing. After 5000 items had been tried
as light filaments, all failures,
someone remarked at his lack of
progress and he replied, This is
progress. 1 now know 5000 things
that won't work. How many of us
would keep on to success after
even a thousandths that many
failures? Such a mans life cannot
help but benefit the world and I'm
happy to be ~portraying him. I hope
I can put over just a trace of his
greatness"
Tracy further points out that
when Edison was learning teleg-
raphy at eighteen, he practiced as
much as eighteen hours a day and
that early in life he began sparing
only four hours a day to sleep say
ing there was so much to do and
SO little time in which to do it that
he had to hustle.
Edison always said time was
the most precious thing in the
world because it was the only thing
money couldn't buy" Tracy states.
HE threw himself into work not
for personal gain but to aid the
world. He early resolved never to
invent anything he wasn't sure the
world wanted. He said he lived
twice as long as the average man
because he worked sixteen hours
a day. He had a handicap in his
deafness, yet he gave the world
two miracles of sound-the phono-
graph and the telephone transmit
ter"

Edison, The Man. Will
Be Shown At Carolina

Edison, visited the inventors work
shops, talked with Edison's family
and his friends, and absorbed a
multitude of facts about the great
Americans life. He can talk for
hours about the man.
HE never cared about clothes
as adornment and chose to spend
his salary on books and appara-
tus," the star says. "He had the
habit of making notes and filled
thousands of books. He never went
into a saloon and abhorred cigaret-
ties, although he chewed cigars con-
tinually. Bills never worried him
and he was a poor business man,
yet d true genius.
He started inventing at the age
of 81 and at "a he was working on
As different inventions at once. He
took out over 1850 patents in his
life. He read everything he could
get his hands on and once spent six
weeks, eating and sleeping at his
desk, until he read a stack of books
and made 1000 experiments just to
achieve a certain result he was
after.
edison was far ahead Of his
time. He even visualized talking
pictures away back in 1878 and
actually produced them in 1912. He
relied much on common sense;
once when a mathematician had
worked for several days trying to
find the cubical content of an
electric light globe, Edison pour
ed water into a globe and told the
man if he would then measure the
water he would find the answer.
