KIWANIS HALLOWEEN
FETE BIG SUCCESS
CONTINUED from First PsSsI

Milford has made great strides
in recent years in affording its
children recreatiOnal facilities OF
the highest type, the best example
being the beautiful play ground ana
bathing beach. This is fine for the
summer months. but the great force
of energy called youth must nave
release So weeks in every year. 80
the Kiwanis club sees the very ur-
cent need for a recreation hall tor
the use of boys and girls; a place
where they may go for an evening
of healthy entertainment of their
own creation, and under proper
slrpervision at all times. With the
cooperation of fathers and mothers
here's the answer to keeping our
boys and girls off the streets. In no
better way can we kill the seeds of
delinquency.
One of the greatest contributions
that has come from any individual
towards boys and girls work in
Milford is from David Kay, the
gentleman who for the past few
years has put on the annual Carni-
val for the Carlisle Fire Company.
Each year since the playground
has been in use he has made
sizeable gift to it at the close OF
each carnival. Now Dave has come
through again. Voluntarily. he do
mated to the Kiwanis club his full
time in putting over this Farm
Festival. Not only that, but he fur
nished free of charge all booths,
including transportation and sett-
ing-up labor. secured entertain
ment. and managed the affair and
mind you, not one red cent Tor
Dave Kay. His only object and re-
quest is that whatever would have
gone to him under a contract be.
used for Boys and Girls work in
Milford. Here's a rOusing cheer to
Dave Kay from Milford!
During the course of the evening
at the festival several prizes were
awarded. A $500 War Bond was
won by w. Paynter Sharp, one of
Milford's veterans of this present
war. who has returned to civilian
life after serving in several Paci-
fic engagements. Two pairs of Ny
lon stockings were won by Miss
Helen Watson of Lincoln. A nice
Thanksgiving turkey was won by
Mrs. G.. Franklin NAPLES. Several
Halloween costume prizes were
awarded; and, oh yes, the creased
pig was caught by Mrs. Betty
Keisewetter of Philadelphia.
Music was furnished by Lew
Startt and his "Swingsters" and
Cousin Lee and his "Hillbillies. ;"
Many present were lucky enough
to win from the farm products
booth a nice White Pekin duck. So
the evening ended with quack,
uuack here. and a quack. quack
there. Everyone expressed them
selves as looking forward to the
Kiwanis Farm Festival next year.

1.-The Impatient Years" Cummings
was directing Jean Arthur and Lee
Bowman. The scene was a law
court. Jean and Lee were asking for
divorce. Bowman is a returned
soldier who arrived from overseas
to discover that the marriage with
Jean was perhaps hasty. Theirs is a
whirlwind wedding after a four-day
courtship, then the soldier goes
abroad. When he returns the girl
and boy are total strangers. It's a
human situation one that's hap
pening all over the country.
Cummings talked the scene over
in a calm way. When a bit of bust
ness didn't jell he showed the actors
how he thought it should be done
Cummings acted it out for Jean and
Bowman did it darned well, too.
That gave the actors added conf
dence.
KnouU the Ropes
While we were waiting for the
lights to be adjusted for the next
setup Cummings went on about the
actors-directing theory.
''Take the first day of shooting.
Actors get first-night stage fright
just as they do in the theater.
understand it, having been through
it for years. l do my best to mitigate
the situation.
Usually l try for simple, casual
scene for the first few shots. Nothing
too emotional or demanding. This
gives. an actor a chance to ease into
a characterization, get acquainted
with his leading lady, and sense the
pace and infections of a particular
role.
Too, I try to shoot my films as
close to the actual continuity of the
story as possible. It's cheaper for a
studio to have a film made without
regard to continuity of scenes, be-
cause of stage space and actors
commitments, but believe a better
movie comes out if we all start from
the beginning and work steadily to-
ward its climax. That way, as on
the stage, we get the feeling and
tempo"
Irving Cummings should know

nected with them IS years.
