FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

INTERRUPTION: Probably
the biggest flop in the history
of Broadway was a play called
1.-THE Ladder" produced by
an oil millionaire in 1928, re-
lates Clarence Derwent in
1.-THE Derwent Story"
After playing to negligible
audiences for several weeks,
the Gilman decided to open
the theater free to the public.
This produced capacity
houses for many months.
During these months, he en-
ployed a series of directors
who endeavored to turn the
work into a box Office success.
Convinced that he at last
had a commercial product
that could be sold. he re-
imposed the prevailing price
of admission. Attendance
Immediately reverted to q
handful of people.
"At this period, Actress
Margaret Anglin was in
charge Of the direction and
was conducting daily re-
hearsals. During these re-
hearsals, 1t was her husbands
custom to bring her food.
Zone afternoon. when there
were three or four persons
in the darkened auditorium,
he entered with a tray OF
sandwiches and coffee and
sang out in a loud voice:
Maggie dear, I've brought
your lunch
Hush, you idiot Missed
his wife reprovingly. Cant
you see we're playing a
matinee?"

THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS


Your heart keeps telling
you to cash in on some of
the glamor when retirement
comes. To get rid Of the
house and get going.
But your conservative gray
hairs say no.
And there's much evidence
to support you. Letters, lit
erature, research findings in
Overwhelming volume show
that security is more sure II
YOU live on where you are.
That happiness and COM
partnership are more plenti-
full.
Statistics prove that Q
heavy majority Of people al
ready retired have chosen to
follow the counsel Of their
gray hairs and not their
hearts. :,
STILL-THIS is q human
matter. It's not an exact
science. And however sensible
the theory Of staying at home
might be, there is always q
man who'll come along to
bounce a brick of it.
Such a man came along
this week. His name Is
Edward j. Baker. He retired
in 1856.
"You people who are re-
firing" says Mr.. Baker,
haven't caught up with the
toll roads yet. Toll roads
mean you can drive 200 miles
to have lunch with your
grandchildren and be home
for supper.
This is remarkable-not
In comparison with the 4
cylinder cars and dirt roads
of the 1920S-we've absorbed
that change. It's remarkable
in comparison with the Vas
and two-lane highways Of 10
years ago, and we haven't
quite comprehended that yet.
Nov this same change" Mr..
Baker continues, has come
to the neighborhoods in the
last 10 years. And we don't
comprehend that.
DO YOU REALIZE that
the occupancy Of owner-oc-
cupied homes in some OF the

Exercise is like dynamite:

common sense it may be put
to good use; treated like a
wet flrecracker, 1t can some
times blow you to eternity.

the occasionally spectacular

Is years and have a family Of
four. suppose We are rea-
sonably happy, but as far as
l am concerned our marriage
is far from ideal.
I was an only child and
received a great deal of love
and affection. My husband
lost his mother at an early
age and lived with a series
of aunts and finally a step
mother. They were good to
him, but did not give him a
real mothers love. I suppose
this accounts for the differ
ence IN our temperaments.
In any case. as time goes
on, I find myself more and
more unable to stand Hen
rvs coldness. I am actually
envious when I see other men
put their arms around their
wives in public.
Henry ST. could never
understand Sues desire to
make a public display of her
emotion. She knows it en-
harnesses me. She says she
can't restrain herself some
times. but this is a little hard
to believe Of a woman who
has been married as long as
she has.
I disagree that I am sour
at home, but Sue often does
provoke me by bothering me
for attentions. When she
criticizes me, I don't feel
inclined to go in for the
affectionate gestures she
claims she wants.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Undoubtedly Henry's child
hood experiences have had
Z their effect on him and make
it difficult for him to display
his feelings. But We think
he should be aware that emo
ton must be displayed in
some way when it is truly
felt. Probably he freezes his
feelings at the source. He
could be much happier II he
would permit himself a little
more NOR freedom in this direc-
We think, however, that
Sue may just have to go
through life with a husband
who falls somewhat short OF
her ideals in this respect
But if she wants to make
her marriage happier. she
should not let it depend en-
tirely on whether or not her
husband changes. She can
make some changes in her
self.
II Sue is willing to accept
her husband as he is, and
freely gives him the affec-
ton she feels-without any
rebuke to him intended-it il
possible that he will grad.
