Community Club Meets.

The Community club held it's first
regular meeting at the schoolhouse
Thursday evening, September 18.
There were 80 members present.
Mrs. Otto Reuer, the new president,
opened the meeting. Mrs. Milton
Price, the new secretary, gave her
report of the last meeting which was
approved. Mrs. Ed Goring, treas
urer, reported there are about $38 in
the treasury to begin this years
work.
After the business meeting Mrs.
Chas. Krantz of Askov, was intro
duced and gave a very interesting
talk on the Agricultural Adjustment
Act. The group was requested to ask
questions on different phases of her
talk and before the discussion ended
we had learned a great deal about
the AAA.
Otto Sanderson, local instructor in
agriculture, told of the organization of
the FLA or the Future Farmers of
America. This has become county,
state and national organization, and
has membership which is entirely
voluntary, in every state in the Union
as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico
The state of Virginia was the first
to organize this group in 1917, Min
nesota being the 42nd state to join
There are four grades or degrees of
active membership, "Green Hand,
Future Farmers, Estate Farmer"
and American Farmer. The local
chapters determine the individual ad-
vancement in the first two grades
of membership, the State determines
the third, and the National organiza-
ton the fourth degree. Their motto
is Learning to do, doing to learn,
earning to live, and living to serve.
They have an emblem, a creed and
salute to the flag. Their aims and
purposes are primarily to develop
leadership, cooperation and citizen
ship. His topic was well worth while
and very interesting.
The program was concluded by
song by Carol Aakhus, after which
the lunch committee served a de-
licious lunch.

NEW YORK.
If, walking down Broadway, you
chanced to encounter haggard, de-
jected man who looked as though
he had lost his last friend, funds and
scratch-sheet pencil, the proba-
bilities are the individual would be a
happy, prosperous professional come
dian.
If, in addition to being haggard
and detected. the man looked as
though he had recently been SEN
fenced to the electric chair, but
planned to beat the rap by hanging
himself with his necktie, the chances
are his brief case would disclose a
partly-consumed package of chewing
tobacco and the tell-tale gold letter.
ing IF. Allen"
Fred Allen, who has been arousing
mirth from coast to coast for Is
years in vaudeville, movies and
radio, is probably the most morose
looking person at large today.
This is not pose. Allen is just
one of those people born to worry,
fret, stew and suffer about their
work, and the fact that he deals in
humor and makes a steady $1,000 a
week at it does not exempt him from
mental anguish any more than if he
were an insolvent small-town drug
gist overstocked with water wings
on Christmas eve.
He Casts AspersiOns.
Many vendors of cheer worry
about their work, but feel obliged
to maintain an appropriate mask of
joviality in public. Allen probably
is unique among show people in that,
except for his moments on the stage,
he keeps up no public front. He is
habitually candid in his sentiments,
most of which are pessimistic, and
-from-the-shoulder in ex-
pressing his likes and dislikes, many
of which are dislikes.
He frequently casts acidulous as
PERSONS at such sacroSanct insti-
tutions as sponsors, advertising
agencies and studio audiences. He
has called other comedians intel
lectual midgets living on borrowed
minds" He has declared that news
papermen, whom few performers
have the temerity to insult, have the

when the Germans broke through
at Sedan, he received word that
they would enter the town in Is
minutes. Cabin drove in his car
toward Cherbourg to rejoin his unit,
but the Germans beat him there.
The same thing happened when
he headed for Brest. He narrowly
escaped death when he abandoned
his car a few moments before a
plane dropped a bomb, smashing
it to bits After the armistice he
made his way to Marseile and re-
mained there until coming to Amer
lea about six weeks ago.
When he talked of the war,
Cabins light-hearted vivacity van
ished. He looked at the floor and
spoke in monosyllables.
Cabin confessed amazement at
questions American intervieWers
have asked. The French public, he
said, Is not interested in actors
personal idiosyncrasies.
He said he was startled when
asked whether he slept in tops or
bottoms of pajamas. He said he
sleeps nude and would rather not
wear clothes at all, but because he
must do so, prefers comfortable
sportswear.
AS to whether French or American
Evening star., 1941-05-11

women have more appeal for him.
well, he says he isn't well enough
acquainted with any American
women to know-yet.
Cabin spoke from experience when
he said the school of hard knocks
is excellent training. In his teens
he worked for six years as a laborer
in an iron foundry and as cement
mixer. He believes children who
aren't sheltered from the seamy
side of life are more self-reliant.
Just now. his biggest problem Is
learning English. Recently he had
three-hour conversation with
Spencer Tracy, whom he admires
very much. Tracy speaks no French.
Cabins vocabulary was about 10
words. When they finished talking
both men were exhausted.
He gets a kick out of slang and
has learned to say nuts" and
sucker"
Struggling, he automatically re-
fused to name the actress he would
like to play opposite in his first
American picture.
The choice" he said, smiling,
"is Mr. Zanuck's."
Which proves that Jean Cabin
has mastered an important first
lesson in Hollywood.
Evening star., 1941-05-11

Some say his plays have no plot,
are no good, and that he is
publicity conscious phony. Others
go to his shows, get tears in their
eyes about all the illusions they've
lost and Saroyan hasn't, and give
him prizes.
One thing certain, the Armenian
boy calls himself a genius simply be-
cause he believes he is one. He's
perfectly serious when he says he
loves everybody and certainly there
is no case on record of him being
unkind.
OF people Saroyan says:
Everybody is partly heel, also
partly divine. In the biggest bum
you find tremendous grace and good
ness"
In brief that is the theme of all Of
his plays.
Evening star., 1941-05-11

In 1899, within a period of 13
months. three of Saroyan's plays
were produced on Broadway, Time
of Your Life" MY Hearts in the
Highlands" and Loves Old Sweet
Song" the first winning the Pulitzer
Prize. Saroyan rejected it with some
sharp words about wealth patroniz-
ing art.
His current play is produced with
his own money . all he had .. .
and he predicts it will run indefi-
nitely.
Like Alexander Woolcott, said to
be the inspiration for "The Man
Who Came to Dinner" Saroyan has
already had play written about
him, The White Haired Boy" 1t
folded after weeks tryout in Bos-
ton, but critics agree it was the
fault of the play rather than the
theatrical possibilities of Saroyan's
life.
Once Saroyan paid to have his
rejected stories published, which
gave him the idea of soliciting
manuscripts for an anthology of
lousy writing" He gave it up, how
ever, when the only contributions
he received were the bad works of
bad authors" rather than the bad
works of good authors, like himself.
No Pain and Anguish.
When his first book was published,
collection of short stories, Saroyan
hawked it personally on the Oak
land-San Francisco ferry, telling
prospective buyers that he was the
author.
There's none of this business
about composing in pain and
anguish for Saroyan.

Citizen Kane" in essentials, if not
in treatment, is enough like other
movies to inspire the hope that they
will be like it in method.
1t is the work of an iconoclast, an
enfant terrible, genius possessed
of almost as many exasperating quail
tiles as admirable onces. 1t reflects
its producer Observation-Disclosures as
the complete disbeliever, the ag-
nostic whose attitude lined Holly
wood up almost solidly against him.
1t shows him, for instance, as dis
dainful of the theory of collabora-
ton, which is such basic article of
faith in the studioes that a dozen
writers are assigned to story.
Welles wrote his own.
Casting Rule Violated.
In casting it he went violently
contrary to the rule of box office
name, plunged himself into the CEN
tral character, employed two un-
knowns for the principal feminine
roles and filled out the cast with
recruits from his sensational, but
little known, Mercury Theater Co.
Having gone so far in alternating
those whose advice helps ruin other
pictures, Welles decided to go
farther. One of the favorite anec-
dotes told in connection with cit
izen Kane" is that when he saw the
first drawings of the sets for the pic
ture, his eye lighted instantly upon
the absence of ceilings in the rooms.
Where are the ceilings?' Welles
asked.
1t was the preposterous question
of an absurd neophyte. Every one
in Hollywood, except Welles, but in
Guiding even studio charwomen,
knew that you could not light q
scene in room with ceiling.
Welles refused to believe it, ordered
ceilings, proved that he was cor
rect and now has convinced Holly
wood that his innovations in lighting
are the very thing toward which the
cinema has been cropping since in
fancy. 1t is only one of many de-
fiances of tradition which is being
heralded as "the most startling de-
velopment since The Birth of Ma
ton"
On the basis of this and other
evidence. even before the pictures
open, one seems justified in sitting
back in the lively expectation Of
comes now the revolution.

But He's Not Aware Of the Feminine Furor
Being Portrait of Jean Cabin, the French Composite
Of Gable and Tracy, Who Prefers His Bachelorhood
BY Mary Hale,
Associated Press staff Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.
Before going to see Jean Cabin, I
was told that he is a herman COM
posite of Clark Gable and Spencer
Tracy.
Also, that girls on the Twentieth
Century-Fox lot, where he is under
contract, run, not walk, to catch a
glimpse of him; that after one
glimpse they almost sWoon with de-
light and are never quite the same
again.
1t was a misleading buildup.
Cabin is definitely virile type,
but he doesn't remind one of Tracy
or Gable. (Zhan Gah-ban is the
way you properly pronounce his
name, but he'll probably be Gene
Cabin" to the average voter0 The
French star of "Pepe LIE Moko" and
Grand Illusion" is too individual to
permit comparisons.
AS for sex appeal-Gabin is gen.
erously endowed. But it isn't SO OBJ
vious as reported. It's quite possible
to talk with him and not be acutely
conscious every moment that he's
supposed to be Gods gift to women.
And, apparently, Cabin is not aware
of the feminine furor.
He Shows Indifference.
Because he has studied English
only two weeks, we talked through
an interpreter, Margot Fragey. This
was something like wearing mittenS
to play the piano. Not that l doubt
Miss Fragey's integrity. But 1
suspect she has sense OF humor.
Perhaps Cabin is little weary OF
being questioned about women. He
parried inquiries with polite indif-
ference.
Yes, he admires Ginger Rogers
very much. When his English is
better he would like to meet her.
He also admires and would like to
meet Bette Davis, Jean Arthur,
Carole Lombard, Katharine Hep
burn, Clark Gable and Gary Cooper.
No, he could not say which Holly
wood actress has the most sex ap-
peal, because he has seen only one
American picture since the war.
No, he has never seen Hedy Lamar
emote.
"Ah! Marlene!"
But when I mentioned Dietrich,
his boredom vanished.
"Ah! Marlene!" Beaming Cabin
waved both arms and spoke sur
prisingly good English. 'Marlene
and I are-what you say-pals. Old
friends. We knew each other in
France"
American women, Cabin said, are
spoiled by their husbands. They
have many more privileges than
French women.
But they are entitled to privi-
leges," he laughed, IF they can get
them. 1t does not concern me.
am a bachelor" He added, happily,
ST like being single"
Cabin, who will be 81 in May,
was divorced last year after an
eight-year marriage to Doryane, a
music hall entertainer. He has a
strong aversion to Wednesday be-
cause, he says, all his bad luck
occurs on that day.
Raced With the Nazis.
Seated in the living room of his
hillside home, Cabin was dressed
in dark blue trousers, blue shirt
and tie, blue and gray striped socks,
black shoes He wore no coat. He
describes his eyes as green, but
they look blue. His blond hair is
streaked with gray, the result of
his war experiences and subsequent
illness.
At the outbreak of the war Cabin
was stationed on a. mine sweeper
