Local Born Author One of
Ten Most Interesting PEOPLE

by MGM for two original stories
for the popular Judge Hardy fam
lily series.
Gunther points out that other
contemporary writer's, good though
they may be, have not written a

Can't Happen Here" He implies
that Lewis social dramatization
have not yet been equalled in their
imprint on the American scene.
Lewis titles have entered the lang
uage, he said. No historic account
of this country can disregard the
scenes that Lewis Photographic
mind have neatly tabled and filed.
Those who met Lewis for the
first time when he appeared in
Minneapolis can understand Gun
theirs selection. Those who heard
the fabulous tongue Of Lewis in the
curtain talk will long remember
the lean frame, the jutting hands,
the vibrant personality. He's ex-
citingly interesting and he's dyna-
mic.
Lewis, Gunther points out, can
be quite as maddening as he is en-
gaging. Reporters have found that
to be true, it is said. His tongue
Is razor sharp.
The piece comes at a startingly
coincidental time, for it is released
in the same magazine that is soon
to carry the portrait Of the birth
place town Of Lewis. The story,
yet unscheduled, portrays aptly the
yet magnetic pull Of the novel that
rocketed Lewis to fame some TWEEN
ty years ago.
It comes too just a week after
a former Sank Centre girl, Mildred
Bjone, was named in another field
by just such a prominent selector.
The 19-year-old girl was Petty

in table tennis. Northwestern Uni
versity student and daughter of
Mrs. Chris Bjone, of Chicago, Mil

artist, George Petty, whose air

modern feminine pulchritude.

The annual spring cleanup, this
year complicated by fallen tree
