Clubwomen Of The State Urged
To Take Part In Coming Election
BY MRS. CHARLES G. DOAK

The most important task con-
fronting us this fall is to get out
The vote" says Mrs. LaFell Dick
inson, president of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs, in a
message to clubwomen. I'VE are
told" she continues, that at
least 60 per cent of the voting
population in the coming election
will be women. We must feel a
prode in making fine showing.
We need to get over the feeling
that there is something wrong with
talking politics in club meeting.
After all. politics is what we should
be especially interested in. None
of us wishes TO see our clubs go
into partisan politics. That is a
different matter"
Continuing, Mrs. Dickinson says
finally, Let us conduct our cleo
ton this fall in a dignified man.
ner. Remember that it is really a
woman's campaign and we want
no regrets whatever the results
may be. May we respect the I'M
written laws of decency, honesty,
restraint, and tolerance for t h
opinions of other people. But let
us be sure we know our own
opinions and vote them"
In commenting on Mrs. Dickin-
sons timely message, Mrs. j.
Henry Highsmith, president of the
North Carolina Federation, says:
We are glad that already we are
stressing this phase of citizenship
in our clubs this fall, under the
direction of the American Citizen

Maddrey of Ahoskie, chairman. In
addition to including "get-out-rhe-

have leading article in the Octo-

of women voting.
"Then too clubwomen will have

Trio" is an adaptation by Doro-

Lydia st. Clair, Lois Wheeler and
Richard Widmark and was staged by
Bretaigne Windust in a Stewart

Miss st. Clair is a continental
actress of considerable reputation
abroad. Her present performance is
by no means bad, but her typical
continental gesturings are distract
ingly irritating.
Lois Wheeler provides a workman
like and interesting portrayal of a
young girl caught In a depressingly
erotic tangle between a boy and an
older woman. Richard Widmark
does the script more than justice
as the boy who discovers with hor-

Ed Wynn likes to say that hes
back in radio because he wants to
prove that he's fhnnier than his son
Keenan,. But. there's nothing to It.
The real reason why Wynn has
come back to the air after seven
years absence Is because he has a
contract and show that he likes.
He now is King Bubbles reigning
over a wacky Shangri-La and his
problem is to make Bubbles more
popular than his fire chief. Grateful
though he is for having been made
honorary chief of 1877 fire depart
ments, he thinks it's time to put
away the red fireman hat.
But Wynn, never an anecdote
comedian of the current hit-and-
run school and never one to lean on
insults, still is the whimsical perfect
fool
Il have created a character which
has become bigger than myself" he
explained. And I know this char
acter is the same Wynn that has
kept loyal fans writing me for seven

Offstage Ed looks like a successful
cloak and suit manufacturer, but
his restless hands and shy move
mentS are a give-away. He talks
eagerly, running on breathlessly
just as he does onstage. And there's
a hint of the well-known lisp.
Not until he gets into costume do
the stifled chortles and giggles of
Self-appreciation come out. His
eyebrows arch and he becomes hys-
terical over making fun of himself.
He leaps from the shrill falsetto he
uses on radio to the hint of a lisp
which is his stage voice.
In costume he becomes a great
clown, one worthy of inheriting the
tradition of the 18th century Italian
street entertainers or the feathered
hats of Shakespeare's testers. His
conclusions of mirth are whole
some. He boasts that he has never
told dirty joke.
Wynn has changed his style of
comedy three times to fit the new
generation" But he always ends up
with the glasses which he first wore
in 1904.
He claims he was the first man to
wear spectacles on the American

music, lyrics and book of a musical
show. That is glib production
jargon meaning 2 per cent to each.
That 2 per cent, however. is just
the minimum. A person like Cole
Porter. who does both music and
lyrics and whose stature is such that
his name on marquee means extra
business, may receive as much as
7i2 per cent of the gross receipts

In other words, the beginner who
writes the lyrics for a broadway
show, if the show were a hit and
crossed $4,000 a week, say, would
get $500 for as long as that none
tary pace were maintained The
Cole Porters, Oscar Hammersteins,
Richard Rodgers and Jerome Kerns,
however, would receive much more.
Which explains the number of
wealthy songwriters.
A set designer is guaranteed at
least $500 for a one-set show, $3.50
for two sets and so on. Fellows like
