From reader comes this letter:
Reminiscent of the Redland Hunt
Cup Race as mentioned in your
Sidelights of last week, it might be
of interest to Montgomery people
to learn little more about this
club which holds its point-to-point
race each spring at "Avalon" the
home of Mr.. and Mrs.. Harry w.
Blunt near Laytonsville and there
could be no more delightful setting
for a race than the rolling hills of
this beautiful estate.
"Much praise should be handed
Mr.. Thomas T. Mott, NTH, for
Redland Hunt, to whom is due the
credit of building up in few years,
hunt that is almost equal to those
of our sister state, Virginia, whose
hunt clubs are of long standing.
montgomery County being
sometimes called a suburb of
Washington often has riders from
the Army, Navy, and Diplomatic
Corps, Redland Hunt has had some
particularly good riders from the
British Embassy"
This writer goes on to tell how
the village of Redland got its name
from "Redlands" the estate of the
late Judge David Griffith, which
was called in honor of the Carter
nome "Redlands" in Virginia.
At the beginning of the Civil
war, four Griffith brothers went
into the Confederate army from
Edge Hill part of the old Griffith
tract of land called Tusculum, one
of them-David, was taken prison
er and sent to Point Lookout,
where he contracted typhoid fever,
and was paroled to die.
William Fells Giles, the father of
Mrs. Harry Blunt, took the i'll man
to the home of his friends, the
Carriers of "Redlands" in Alber-
marie County, and cared for him
SO well that he recovered, and thus
Sta 1tod on ,,nondinor f,.;andeI,;o h
tween the Griffith and Giles fam
lilies.
Upon his return home, David
Griffith named the place his faith
er had purchased for him before
the war, "Redlands" out of graft
tude to the grand Virginia people
who had saved his life. One writer
ends her letter by saying "Who
says there is nothing in a name ?"

Seldom Offers Explanations

He has been PANIED for his attitude. Yet
he has seldom offered excuses or explanations
for himself.
Personally, 1 have always found Cary
cooperative perhaps not enthusiastically, but
he never gives false impressions about him
self
AS l remember, he was the first actor to
turn over his salary for an entire production,
philadelphia Story (and it amounted to
cool S150,000) to the British War Relief.
He was both praised and criticized for this
move-though why the criticism have never
been able to figure out.
But Cary didn't let the brickbats-or
bouquets-affect him one way or the other.
He continued to write out big checks for the
Red Cross, American war funds and other
worthy endeavors without benefit or fanfare.

Cary Grant Rated High

Even If He Missed Oscar

HOLL4 WOOD, March {
LII WEEK long you have been
N reading stories and hearing about
IN the "winnahs" of the Academy
4 n Awards. This is story about an
actor who didn't win the Oscar
Cary Grant. He came close with Penny
Serenade," and lot of people thought he
should have been nominated for his work in
Suspicion" as well.
But it amazed me as l sat at the table at
the Academy dinner to find as many people
discussing loser" as they were the winners.
There's hardly top ranking star in the
business who won't tell you conhdentially that
Cary Grant is one of the finest actors on the
screen-if not the finest.
Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, John
Payne James Cagney and Tyrone Power have
all told me at various times that Cary was
perhaps the biggest actors actor" in Holly

Payne Calls Him The Tops

John Payne once said:
"Grant Is the tops. He can do more with
his back to the camera than a lot of actors
chewing the scenery full view. He never
Overplays. He never tries to hog a scene.
Yet try to take one away from him. The
scene where he pleads for the baby I'm Penny
Serenade Is the only time ever saw an actor
cry on the screen without wanting to get up
and walk out"
troupers themselves feel about Cary. And yet
few of them are his boon companions
do not know him very well at ALL and some
actually dislike him off the screen.
He's Reticent on Publicity
Cary, who was born Archie Leach in
England, has never done very much to endear
himself to many people in Hollywood.
Publicists feel he very seldom plays ball
The press finds him colorless copy-not be-
cause the material isn't there, but because he
won't talk about the women in his life" Of
his ideas on glamour girls in general or of
what he eats for breakfast.
Candid cameramen about town complained
loudly to me-and others-at Cary's antics
when he first met and fell In love with Bar
bara Hutton.
Here was certainly "twosome" Of news
worthy attention. But when Barbara and
Cary saw the boys coming they would exit
without ceremony through kitchens windows
or any other exit available.
