Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladhcim

"There were faces to remember in the
Valley of the Shadow,
There were faces unregarded, there
were faces to forget;
There were fires of fear and grief
that are few f ,tten ashes,
There we're sparks of recognition that
are not forgotten yet"
We are approaching Memorial Day.
This was one of the outstanding
events of the year in our beautiful
community. 1t was made memorable
by the presence of survivors of the
Civil War, retired soldiers who hon
ored their dead comrades, and set an
example of patriotism for the young
er generation. There would first be a
procession from the town to the
cemetery on the hill. On arriving at
the cemetery each veteran would be
assigned the grave of soldier. His
purpose was to honor his memory by
placing on the grave wreath of
flowers. Then the school children, the
various fraternal organizations would
add their homage in the same fashion.
After this was done the band would
play hymn, a local minister would
offer prayer, and often an address
would be made Here was an annual
ceremony of great depth and value to
the community, but in recent years
has evidently lost it's meaning. Per-
haps it is because the Blue and the
Gray are now blended as one be-
meath the clay.
But the Memorial Day of yester-
year is still vivid. Those aged soldiers
stood for something higher, and more
enduring than war mongering and
propaganda. Conviction Illuminated
their souls. They were soldiers with 2
passion. This cannot be said of the
soldiers in the World War of 1917-18
and is not likely to be said of the
soldiers of the present war. They do
not volunteer-they see no purpose or
principle. They go to war because
they are afraid of the government.
But these Civil War men had a pas
sion. There was something patriarchal
about the manner of these old sur
vivors. And they were really the
fathers of our community. Associated

with lilacs, peonies, early roses, and

And then, with the battles forgot
ten, these G. A. R. men were joined
in the parade to the city of the dead
by Confederates of the community,
among whom were George M. Mason,
D. M. Mason, William C. Buncutter,
Charles M. Miller and others, the
lapse of years being responsible for
the forgetting of the others who
joined in these annual parades.
These men fought to preserve the
union of these United States |
wonder if they know how this very
unity is being undermined by new
destructive forces within America? |
wonder if they are not assembling in
the skies above where they are blow
ing trumpets of reveille-calling
youth of passion, courage, and honor
to commence new crusade for the
unity of American life? These worthy
patriarchs must not have died in vain.
The most fitting way of honoring our
soldiers this Memorial Day is to re-
solve that manhood is for honored
strife, not for self, but for God and
America the Beautiful, our heritage.
/ We are stewards of this inheritance
purchased by the blood and sweat of
our forefathers. The time has come
that we must be made worthy to re-
tain this inheritance, and this can
only be accomplished by the same
blood and sweat that oozed out of the
souls of our honored dead. The Revo-
luton proved that we could gain and
keep our independence; the Civil War
proved that we could achieve unity.
Today the American people can only
conserve what has been won by stead
fastly remaining pro-American. Being
pro- British or pro-Nazi is unAmeri-
can. Let's put our own house in order.

FOUR. .F|FTHS CLARA LOU
Before YOU knew her as Ann Sheridan, she used to
play football in Texas. Here's the truth about her
by Donald Hough

Clara Lou went to Hollywood at the expense
of one of the big studios; it burst into flames
when she won contract there - and it ex
ploded with bang heard round the world
when Ann" Sheridan finally reached star
dom in the movies.
1t all began when Paramount Pictures
started worldwide - well, almost world
wide - contest for both male and female can
didates to appear in a picture to be called
'The Search for Beauty" The idea was that
certain newspapers would conduct local con-
tests, and the winners would 60 to Holly
wood, appear in the picture and be given
chance for regular contract One of those
things. They were quite the fashion back
there in 1888. but went out of style later when
Evening star., 1941-03-16

it was found that there were too many heart
breaks per contract won
At the time, Clara Lou was student at
North Texas State Teachers College in
Denton, having recently come up from Den
ton Junior High School, where she was a
leading athlete: swimming, tennis, basket
ball, football. Yes, football. They grow them
husky on the Texas plains, and the girls at
Denton High had good team, on which
Clara Lou won reputation as good-looking
i mean good blocking - back, and as
very tough linesman, or lneswoman, or what
ever it would be. She had those shoulders,
and she was big girl.
At Teachers, though, she sort of grew up,
or thought she had to grow up, and her most
Evening star., 1941-03-16

strenuous activity took the shape OF torch
singing with the college band. She didn't do
any too we'll at this. Her voice was all right,
but her stage presence still was that OF
good-looking - there | go again - good
blocking back. Anyway, this movie contest
came along. The Texas paper that was han
ding the local angle of the thing was read
by most of the college students every day.
You had to send your pictures one por-
trait and the other in swimming attire, to the
paper. The camera and voice tests would
come later.
They wanted Sheridan to try. She was
handsome, healthy, native Texan - big
boned, tall, free-swinging, with a slightly
husky, sort of backwoods voice - and they
said she'd be natural. She gave them the
laugh Nix to that.
Evening star., 1941-03-16
Tense Scene


stormed down to the paper and learned that
her sister, Kitty had done it. A family crying
session followed. Clara Lou swore she d never
go back to school. She d never be able to look
the Others in the face, she said The idea of
pretending that she thought she was some
thing and so on, far into the night
Probably, deep in her heart, she was de-
lighted Who knows?)
Well vacation time was nearly there, so
she went back to school and took her medi-
cine, which wasn't half as bad as she thought
it would be.
Then the contest was over and bored man
from Hollywood came down and took short
movie tests and some voice tests. In the movie
tests you sat down in a chair, got up, turned
around, picked up a book, opened it, closed
it, sat down again. For the voice tests all of
the contestants but Clara Lou had memor-
lied appropriate little speeches. some of them
from Shakespeare Clara Lou spoke the death
less lines with which | opened this story.
I'm the movie test she stumbled and almost
fell on her face
That was all for a while. The man went
back to Hollywood, and from then on the
newspaper had more room for baseball box
scores. The school closed for the summer.
Clara Lou went to Waco to visit relatives.
The contest was forgotten.
The summer was nearly over when the
newspaperman who had had charge of the
local end of the contest called Clara Lou by
long distance telephone.
Come on home. Red" he said. You're
going to Hollywood.
You must be nuts" she said. What are
you talking about, anyway
Il mean it. You won one of the trips to
Hollywood Come on, Red. You can't get
out of it now"
Departed in Style
AND now allow me to quote from brief
document subsequently written by Miss
Sheridan:
"All my close relatives and a number of
boys and girls from college saw me off on
the train out of Dallas and made quite an
occasion of the departure. We were met in
Los Angeles by newspaper reporters and pho
tographers, and we were conducted in hand
some automobiles to the studio, which was in
the heart of Hollywood, some twelve miles
distant"
Just like that. Conducted in handsome
automobiles" Some twelve miles distant"
Don't you love it?
The big Red
The picture was made, all right. All the
contest winners had been given one picture
contracts at fifty bucks a week, and all of
them appeared in it someplace when the
picture was shown in Dallas the sign on the
marquee said "ANN SHERIDAN in The
Search for Beauty, and the customers saw
her in remarkable performance, peeking
over the shoulders of two other contest win
ners and grinning After the picture had been
shot, all the young folks we're given tickets
home. Most of them went others hung
around. eventually to add to the huge local
crop of pretty mattresses and handsome cab
drivers.
Red Sheridan was on the point of going
home herself She was not in the least disap-
pointed at failing to win regular contract,
because she hadn't for moment expected
one she was just looking forward to the train
ride back to Texas.
But she got contract after ALL She got it
