If YOU ask Frank Calvin, Cecil B.

Calvin is down on the pay roll as
director of research" but the job
of looking up obscure data for such
epics as Northwest Mounted Po-
lice" the De Mile historical picture
Just completed, is cinch compared
to his unofficial or extracurricular
task of answering miscellaneous
queries having nothing to do with
the movies whatever. Somehow, De
Mile seems to expect Calvin to know
everything.

Some Offhand Queries.
Calvin got up and left the table
to look it up, but, as he hadn't re-

ended, the general party never did
get the benefit of this information.
And probably Calvin didn't get to
| finish his lunch, either. He prob
ably told De Mile in the Office, and
then went to work on something
else.
Here are some of the other Off
hand queries that De Mile has
popped at Calvin during the last
two weeks:
/. Where was Christ during the
years he was supposed to have been
lmissing'?"
2. whats the population of South
American"
3. whats Sally Rand's real
name?"
4. when did the Ming dynasty
end?"
S. whats the correct pronuncia-

6. Where are my glasses?"

Some of the most profitable pictures
of 1910 were those in which fair
haired lads of the screen were cut
off in their prime. The fans didn't
object, and now it looks like 1941
schedules will carry an even larger
assortment of grim finales.
In "Billy the Kid" the last scene,
big one, features Robert Taylor's
death. He is shot down by his best
friend, Brian Donlevy. A decade ago
any star of Taylor's standing would
have walked out on such a plan.
But Bob seems delighted at the idea.

Humorous Robert Benchley, who

For the life of me, don't UNDER

"I don't know how I ever hap

Every time a visitor walks away
from the sound stage where I'm

Benchley, who has appeared in

We heard two young men ar
guing Saturday last about how
fast a car could be driven
around the curve in the high
way near Dugway State park.
One of the lads claimed he could
make it at rs miles an hour
other other didn't believe it.
They left. Since l did not hear
the ambulance siren immediate
ly afterward | expect they ac-
complished what they set out to
do--but to what avail?
The bone of contention during
past meetings of the city cOun-
Gil has been construction of
safety islands similar to the one
at Fourth and West Main. The
island was not so safe last week
when John Sheen of Uhrichsville
drove his car against it and the
machine had to be tOwed away.
However that is an argument in
favor of the island. Looking at
it from another angle, Mr..
Sheen's car was not made to
strike an immOvable object, and
he should not have been driving
in the middle of the street.
While we have never seen a Pc
destrian mount the oasis when
marOOned in the middle of the
street, the island may have some
value in teaching motorists to
use more caution as witness Mr..
Sheen's car.
The recent foggy weather has
been a contributing factor to a
number of accidents the past
several weeks. However there
are some people who just SIM
ply have a habit of making the
best of things no matter how
tough the going, by inserting a
little humor into life as they
plod along. For instance Dan
Landrum, who works out at the
Pharis Tire and Rubber COM
pany claims that Bob Donald
son, that genial individual who
operates a boat livery at Buck
eye Lake was shingling a build
ing the other day, and found
himself out four feet beyond the
