The trouble with Hedy Lamar was lack of
glamor, and the main reason for that lack was
her voice and accent She sounded rather like
a Kansas schoolteacher trying to strike an
exotic note
There was nothing the studio could do
about this. The accent was put down as
liability and to this day Miss Lamarr's voice
is still her main handicap, although tireless
coaching has improved it immensely.

WHEN the boys at the studio finally gave
her up as glamor girl, they began to listen
to reason. The result was her part in Com
rade x" This was satirical comedy. Hedy
loved doing it excepting where they made her
pose, and for the first time she came to life

intelligence which Hollywood was realizing

That was early in l94l when the notion was
still current around Hollywood that all Miss

was her profile and her glove.

from her appearance in an artistic Viennese

Office, came away with an almost alarmed
expression on their faces The word was
passed - this was about the time of Com
rade X that this was no mere Viennese
doll; this was somebody with brains and
sense of humor, perhaps with acting ability -
certainly with determination.
She Wanted to Act
WHETHER or not it was her sponsors Origi-
nal idea to offer Miss Lamar as an exhibit in
pulchritude and nothing more, it was GER
tainly not Miss Lamarr's idea.
She d been told that she was to be a movie
star. and movie star she proceeded to be, to
the best of her ability. She knew that she
was not an accomplished actress she knew
what the score was, but she made up her
mind to become an accomplished actress. She
has very nearly succeeded, and the prospects
look bright.
But it's been a long and tough job, right
from the start. Shortly after Hedy was inn
ported and rebranded by Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer and while she was learning English.

arrived, Producer Walter Wanger came along
with plans to make "Algiers" and borrowed

she had title to say, but there was enough
footage of her profile to please everybody,
and the picture established her as the No. l
esert-island choice of the average American
male 1t also set her up in Hollywood as just
another side-view gal on brief visit
This latter idea was not dispelled by slight

Robert Taylor which introduced Miss Lamar

nth INFANTRY BAND
DELIGHTS LARGE CROWD

The Comet band of the 111th Infantry
was greeted with another large audi
ence on the occasion of the Second
concert, from in front of the local
Armory, Friday evening of last
week.
All the selections given by this
band, whether classical, or written in
more homely notes, showed rare
training, fine appreciation, and per-
feet technique. Under the leadership
of Ralph Church, they have advanced
to a point of excellence, hard to beat,
and, to a layman, they should be
ranked right alongside Of the best
military musical organization. Mr..
Church is yet young man, SO, and
his success is most outstanding.
The commanding officer, Col. Riley,
was present at the concert of last
week. Most of the performers are
from Pennsylvania, and, at present,
are stationed with the camp at West
over Junction. This community will
welcome many new concerts of the
same kind.
A dance in the Armory followed
the concert.

A woman of sweet personality, fine
character, highly intelligent, lovely

mourn her passing.
She was first of all a home-maker,
finding JOY and satisfaction in hay

on their problems. Almost all her
life, too, she had been interested in
church work and in lending a help

Funeral services were held at the
Wilmington home Saturday after

She is survived by her husband, one

CONTINUED from Page II


Ben look old is his long white beard.
His back is straight, his cheeks rosy
and unwrinkled, and his step is quick
and agile.
Captain Ben was born on May 8,
1883 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Eighty years ago he moved to his
toric Chincoteague Island, famed for
its oysters, its wild ponies and its
fishing. At that time the only way
to leave the island was by boat. Now
the island is connected with the main
land by six miles of good highway
and bridges.
He has outlived two wives but has
five living children. One son, now
70 years of age, lives across the
channel on Assateague Island. A
daughter and her husband live with
Captain Ben and three other children
are not far away.
On Friday the entire populace of the
Island paid tribute to its oldest, most
lovable inhabitant and Captain Scott
greeted all visitors and we'll wishers
with his usual genial smile. This

SUFFERS FROM A
BROKEN BONE
Fractures Hip By A Fall From
Steps Leading Into The Store
of Young and Son

Mr.. ]. Paul Young, well known
citizen of Pocomoke, and former pro
prietor of the Parker House, now
Hotel Pocomoke, and thereby widely
acquainted with the travelling public,
is now in the Peninsula General Hos
pital, being treated for fractured
nip. The latest reports of his condi-
ton are to the effect he is as well as
could be expected, but his recovery
will confine h inn for some weeks to
come.
Mr.. Young was leaving the store
room of Young and Son, on Clarke
Avenue, when he stumbled over the
step leading into the store vestibule
from the sidewalk He fell on the
concrete pavement, with the result
above stated.
Very early in life, Mr.. Young suf-
fered an injury to his right leg, which
has famed him ever since. He was
very active, however, and with his
good left leg, he never seem to be
at much disadvantage, where lOcOmo-
ton powers were concerned.
Unfortunately, his latest misfortune
to his good left leg, and is,
all the more serious. How
ever, while it will take time, his many
friends are looking forward to re-
covery which will put him back to his
former status, and hoping it may be
soon.
