Some 30 years ago = direc-
tor suggested that unknown
Janet Gaynor be tested for the
role Of the heroine In .sThe
Johnstown Flood.
Ten years later the same
director gave Alan Ladd his
first bit part. He also started
the screen careers Of Lew
Ayres and Alice Faye.
AL except Ladd are more or
less inactive but the director.
George Marshall. Is still going
strong.
Recently Marshall cele-
brated his 40th year in the
movies and his 4O0ttl picture
'Destry.
Actually 'Destry'' is a sequel
to, one Of MarshalPs greatest
successes. 'Destry Rides
Again. Z but this time the
studio decided ON the shorter
title. It couldn't very well
call it "Destry Rides Again
Once More. .
Marshall can answer with q
! single word why he Is still
going strong after all these
years. The word Is action"
For q long time, says
Marshall. especially right
after the advent Of the talkies,
producers got away from ac-
ton and tried to substitute
talk. The result was failure
both on the screen and at
the box Office"

Hornets NarroW Gap Behind Vanlue
In Defeating Hancock Leaders, so to 4S

Although Cory-Rawson cagers
handed Vanlue it's first setback of
the season, so to AZ, last Friday
night, the Hornets still remained
one game off the pace in the torrid
Hancock county league championship
race.
Vanlue is leading the Hancock
loop with a record of 10 wins and
one loss, as compared with Cory
Rawson's nine victories and two set
backs. McComb is in a second
place tie with the CIR team, with
an identical record.
In Cory-Rawson's thrilling battle
with Vanlue last week, the two teams
went through the first quarter in
an I'LL scoring deadlock, and there
was only one point difference in the
scoring in the second and the fourth
periods, Vanlue getting that one
point edge each time. However, a
third-quarter uprising gave Cory
Rawson II points to Vanlue's seven,
sufficient for the ultimate victory.
Keller bagged 20 points for the
Hornets; Kurt got IS, Ream and
| Weidman seven each and Creighton.

worth of air compressor equipment,
the Button Community Sportsmen's
club is prepared to haul its first
load of fish in the annual task of
restocking Buckeye quarry early in
April preliminary to the opening of
the famed Rainbow Trout Derby
on April %.
Members of the club were advised
that plans for handling the big
haul of trout from the Castalia
Trout Farms and walleyes from
~Sandusky Bay in the restocking pro-
gram were completed after the club
was forced into the hauling business.
Previously the fish were brought
here by Myrd Watkins of Conner,
Ohio, who operated the service for
Button and other sportsmen's
groups.
When Watkins decided to go out
of the business, the Button club
acquired his equipment consisting OF
air compressor, lines and connections
and an air-cooled gasoline engine.
To avoid any chance of losing a
shipment of the valuable fish
through engine failure, a second gas
engine will be obtained for standby
use in an emergency,
More than 500 pounds of rainbow
trout valued in excess of $1,000 and
more than a ton of walleyes have
already been ordered for the local
derby.
