his Boys Town" of 1888, and If you
have seen the picture at Loew's
Palace you might easily guess what
was worrying him.
Mr.. ConSidine was wondering
where in Hollywood, or anywhere
else for that matter, he was going
to find an actor who could turn in
an authentic impersonation of the
youngest bank robber in Texas his
tory, maybe all history. This 7
year-old Flip" who is too tough
even for Mickey Rooney to handle
in Men of Boys Town." is no fig
ment of a script writer's imagina-
ton. Texas really did have 7
year-old bank robber, and it was not
so many years ago.
He was a member of Texas
gang" Mr.. Considine reported when
waxing sad over his casting prob
lem, "and he felt he should prove
he was the equal of any one else
in the mob, So one day he walked
into a bank, pointed a gun at the
cashier, walked out with the swag.
Might have gotten away with it, too,
if he had not tried a repeat per-
formance on a Storekeeper who
thought it all a joke and disarmed
and captured the daring bandit"
Then Father Flanagan asked if
he couldn't have try at straight
ening out the lad: the Governor of
Texas happily shipped him to Boys
Town and that's why he was in Mr.
Considine's picture and hair. He
didn't worry Mr.. ConSidine for long,
however. Director Norman Taurog
came upon young Daryl Hickman,
who made his film debut in Grapes
of WRATH" and from then on Flip"
was Mr.. Taurog's problem, Mr.
Considine had spoken on that score,
too.
We'll no doubt find a boy who
can play the role" he had said
but it will be a directing job more
than an acting one"
P. S.-The original youngest bank
robber in all Texas history couldn't
have played himself in Men of
Boys Town" Mr.. Considine met
him at the premiere of the earlier
Boys Town" and found him, after
two years of Father Flanagan's cure,
quite a delightful lad with no COM
prehension that he had been a
bandit. Not at all the sort to play
Flip" an even match for Jimmy
Cagney or John Garfield even at
his age.
Those responsible for the towns
stage shows seem to be taking
Irving Berlin's advice about saying
it with music. At the Capitol, the
name band parade started by
Tommy Dorsey this week, brings
along Horace Heidi on Thursday,
Ted Weems on May and Jimmy
Dorsey's crew early in June. And
the Earle still has Charlie Spivak
slated for an early appearance, just
as soon as he and the Earle can
achieve a time-space coincidence.

The physicians questioned those
who had been through it. It was
terrifying, they agreed, but they
said they we're glad for having been

The A. r. P. was overjoyed with
the results. The suggestion was

say that the Greer incident marks
a change of German policy, the
beginning of a series of attacks on
American policy from defensive to
offensive But it suggests to US
once more that we ought not to for
get the battle of the Atlantic as
whole nor that crucial phase of it
which may be called the battle of
transportation.
When all is said and done, the
island of Great Britain and it's
waters of cross and approach rep
resent the crucial and probably de-
cisive area of this war: the war
can be won by Germany by complete
victory in that area, and though
the chances are growing less, they
are not altogether finished by any
means.
Whether the Greer affair marks
turning point of policy or not,
it seems likely to be the forerun-
ner of other incidents, since the
situation is one which must be
exasperating to the last degree to
the Germans and one which may
become intolerable under conditions
easily foreseeable. We ought not
to become overconfident; we have
had enough of wishful thinking;
but there are indications that our
efforts are bearing fruit, and Ameri-
cans may take pride in the efficient
and seaman like manner in which
their Navy is doing its job.
