Charles Coburn is celebrating
go years in show business. ~

I was 13, in the Savannah Theatre
In Georgia." Charles tells me al
his new home in Hollywood.
At 73. Mr.. Coburn is still going
strong. He tapes a weekly radio
show. has recently finished star
ring in picture, "The Highway
man." and his horse-breeding
farm has just produced two-a
f1lly and a colt.
Acting is the only thing I ever
wanted to do," says Charles. His
living room ~is full of his past
two life-size paintings of himself
and his late wife. Ivah Wills,
dressed for "As You Like It." as
Rosalind and Orlando. There is
also an assortment of photo
graphs. drawings and bust-all
depicting Charles in his various
acting roles. And. brother he was
very handsome and athletic look
ing as a young man! II was a
professional bicycle racer in my
spare time, and played tennis and
baseball"

And you play golf, don't you?
I've seen you so often at the Lake.

No." Charles replied, II went
to the club for five years before

when ! was a youngster, the
theater really meant something.
Stars like Henry Irving, Ellen
Terry. Sarah Bernhardt, Mrs.
Fiske, Kyrle Bellew, E. H. Sott,-
ern, all played at the Savannah, y
Charles said. "They were our
idols and we had tremendous re-
spect for them" The famous
theater burned to the ground a
few years ago, and Coburn sent
for the two stone medallions
which used to be over the front
facade.
II left school at H." he con-
tinued. But the theatre has
been my university and church.
In the theater you have to learn
about all the classic literature in
the world. You learn about the
life in different countries. / had
q Southern accent you could cut
with a knife before I had to learn
to disguise that for most of the
roles I played. And in the
theater, contrary to popular opin-
ion, you learn to be very moral.

How much does a star owe his
public?
A good deal, says Actress Helen
Hayes. She holds that a star
should set an example of respect
ability.
"As a star" she told an inter-
viewer, you accept a certain re-
Isponsibility. The public gives you
its trust and its heart. You have
lno right to let the people down
This means there must be no way
wardness. Your personal life must
be above reproach."
Sometimes, she added with a
smile, the responsibilities "can be
pretty grim"
Pitfalls Numerous.
Miss Hayes, one of the most
revered actresses In show business,
said there are many pitfalls in
the path of a star. She did not
condemn the ones who have
stumbled. e.
She did, however, mention two
things that help keep a headliner
on the straight and narrow path.
One is a sense of humor and "the
ability never to lose it." The other
is self-discipline.
THE ability to assume respon-
sibilities and carry them grace
fully takes training" she said. "It
is acquired. It doesn't happen by
accident"
It has been 80 years since Miss
Hayes first saw her name In lights
above a play title. She digressed
to remark that she got top billing
by happenstance. She was sched-
uel to open on Broadway In the
play "Bab." -

Tooih-puIIers in Alaska Different, Says Specialist

Problems faced by Alaska dent istS are different from those in the States according to Dr. Fred s. Shandley, trustee of the 1lth district of the American Dental Association.
 Shandley is here attending the second annual convention of the Alaska Dental Society.
 "A dentist here needs to be an all-around practitioner, Doctor Shandley pointed out. Tn the States there are many specialists available in the different dental fields. In addition an Alaskan dentist needs to carry heavy in- ventory of equipment and supplies due to the distance from sources of supply"
 lie said that in the States fluoridination of water supply has definitely reduced dental decay by 40 per cent in test areas made over period of time. One hundred cities in the U. $. now have it, he said.
 A committee from the Alaska Society is Investigating the use of fluordination in the Territory, Shandley said, and it is expected that Anchorage will install the process within the next few months A local group of dentists are looking into the possibilities for Juneau.
 Meetings of this type for Alaska dentists are important" Shandley said. Tt enables them to get to- gether to exchange ideas and dis cuss dental health problems of the Territory as well as to con- tact specialists who attend the sessions"
 The American Dental Asao- citation with which the Alaska group is affiliated, is working closely with the armed forces in drafting dentists, Shandiey stated. The object is to handle the draft in such a manner so as not to strip the civilian pop uIatiorl cf dental care as occur red during the last war.
 Col. Maurice Harland of Fort Richardson, who is here with a number of other dentists from the armed forces in Alaska, stated that it was the policy of the mil itary department to participate in local society meetings. He said that opportunities for Alaska mil itary dentists to attend clinics were limited and their problems were much the same as the civil ian dentists.

louis Couldn't
 Believe h Tailed To Floor biyins

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16-AR-Joe Louis vowed today that he wouldn't ever fight ''underweight" again.
 He blamed last nights weight of 203l9, lowest for him in 10 years, for a disappointing although unani- nous 10-round victory over Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland.
 'I didn't improve none tonight" he said disgustedly.
 He was downhearted mostly at his failure to deck Bivins in the last round when he hit the 18OA pounder with everything he had. Bivins was still hanging on to him at the end and Louis deadpan for once showed disbelief-or perhaps realization the deadliness has gone with his 37 years.
 The crowd of 1925 which paid $75,217 pleaded time and again. Joe, open him up.' But Louis was able to get only half dozen telling blows from that once-feared right and never could he follow through.

Make OLD Country Tour

A letter from Mrs. E. P. ST.
monds to her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. jenkins of Lexington
informs that she and the children
are now back at home after a
900 mile automobile trip through
Holland, Belgium, and Luxem-
burg. She writes, "The children
were very excited in Holland at
Macken Island where the people
still wear old costumes even to
wooden shoes. The boys and girls
are dressed alike until they are
seven years old and the boys get
their hair cut for the first time
then, and their first boys clothes
at eight. These people never go
to movies and they have never
married anyone off the island in
900 years.
We saw around 200 acres of
nothing but flowers, went to the
flower auction and saw millions
OF cut flowers, all for export. Am
sterdam is the flower center of
the world. We saw 157 varieties
OF tulips, even black ones, and
saw every kind of other flower.
In Brussels we saw a real hand
made-lace factory and watched
them make the lace. (Which is
very expensive.)" She told further
OF buying the children wooden
shoes.
