epic fights with the Williams, the
pursuits and cracking fun
play, take on a new immedlac,
and registered with greater impact
on the viewers senses.
Scott shares stellar hon0rs with
Claire Trevor in The Stranger
Wore a Gun" in which he appears
in the classic tradition Of the mag
nlficent fighting man beset on all
sides by enemies but emerging
triumphant by dlnt of cool courage
and greater resourcefulness. As a
foot loose Civil War veteran, Scott
takes to working with gambler
Claire Trevor. He barely escapes
with his life in a premeditated bar
room brawl.
Scott drifts on to Arizona, there
to pay off his debt TO George Mac
ready. who saved him in the muir
der assault. only TO learn that the
man Is planning to ambush the
stage lines run by beautiful Joan
Weldon. When another gang, sniff
ing golden loot, appears on the
scene, Scott pits the two renegade
bands against each other but IS
found out and is given a rugged
time. How Scott escapes, TO turn
the tables, repeatedly makes for
about as exciting a climax as has
ever been contrived in a Western
epic.
As the tough, taciturn adven-
turer, Scott proves once again, il
proof were needed, that he is the
screens premier outdoor star.
Miss Trevor, as the gambler. is
said to give another of the flavor
some characterizations for which
she has become justly famed. Joan
Weldon, as the young freight line
owner, contributes to the proceed
ings, although she loses out to Miss
Trevor for SCOTS affections. Mae
ready is a worthy opponent for the
stalwart Scott, while Alfonso Bed0-
va, as a laughing bandit and Mac
ready's rival, turns in another Co
lorful performance.
THE Stranger Wore a Gun" was
written for the screen by Kenneth
Camel. The new outdoor action
drama, a Scott Brown Production,
was vigorously directed in SD by

A Word to the Wise 3, Mr.. f'o"t Cobb,

The style entered English and
was pronounced to rhyme with
"tile."
Then, in both French and
English, style took on other ex-
tended meanings until it finally
came to designate "a high
standard Of manner; the pre-
vailing fashion"
However, If you'll look in your
dictionary, either French or
English. you will find that the
primary meaning of "style" is
still given as: q stylus for writ
ing on wax or other materials.
But. by a strange quirk, sty-
lus also entered English and
retained the original Latin
meaning, 20 pointed instrument
for writing or tracing" which Is
exactly the primary and literal
meaning Of the word style!

HAPPY RIRTHnAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Early in 1929, when Albert
Einstein was approaching his
50th birthday, the city coun-
Gil of Berlin announced with
great publicity that it would
commemorate the occasion
by presenting the eminent
scientist with a house. To
Einstein, a man of modest
means, this was indeed a
lavish gift.
A suitable house was
selected and promptly re-
ceived the approval Of the
scientist and his wife. A
hitch developed. however;
The occupants of the house
would not vacate.
The council then decided
to purchase a strip Of land
on the same estate and have
q house constructed. This
idea also came to naught, as
the estate could not be
divided.
Einstein suggested that
they abandon the project.
but they would not hear Of
it. Finally a location was
found in a small town some
distance from Berlin.
There other complications
developed. The project be-
came a political football,
with rival politicians taking
sides. Einstein, acutely en-
barrassed, insisted that the
whole business be dropped.
Shamefacedly. the council
acceded to his wishes.
Shortly after, EinSteln
learned that an architect
and a builder had been en-
gagged and that they had
completed their plans. Nei-
ther could now expect to be
paid.
Rather than let them
suffer a loss. Einstein
emptied his meager bank
account and bought the land
and house himself.

a number Of centuries to the

Instead Of using q pencil or

and was used for erasing that

the tablet could be used over
