Page Four. THE SALEMITE Friday, February 23, 1940. Ath-a-letic Sal You’d be suprised how much fun you can have at one of those in tramural basketball games. Be sides following the play, you can find quite a few amusing things about the players. If you don 'fc believe it try watching the express ion on some of their faces, the some of them run, and the way som« yank, pull, and twist their hair. These things are really a show—all in themselves. And speaking of fun, there was fun galore Wednesday afternoon when the junior “B” team met the sophomore “B” team. Some of the people you’d least expect to be “Ath-a-letic Sals” were out there fighting — spirit and all. You’d also be suprised just how much talent there actually is in their groups. The star of the week is Gerry Baynes. Starting the freshman game as a forward, she then svpitched over to guard, play ing both positions just like a \ eter- an. Such versatility deserves due praise. SPRINGTIME AND HENRY BACKSTAGE (Continued From Page One) of the Winston-Salem lad.es” had the audacity to call him in Greens boro the night before to find out if it were realy true that he was going to bo here! Since it has been two weeks since he had the flu, he has practically forgotten about the in terruption in the tour. Winston-Salem was the last town in North Carolina to have Mr. Hor ton because from here the company went to Savannah and from there* to Miami, to go to some “social do’s.” “Springtime for Henry” is Mr. Horton’s first play in twenty j’ears, but he has his own theatre in Hollywood. Here he has done work in partnership with Florence Eld- ridge and all during his screen ca reer he has been interested in the He accepted the part in “Spring time for Henry” because he had nothing in particular to do before li'.s next picture. The company was one of the “straw-hat” theatre groups (which don’t guarantee sal aries). Our biggest blunder (no other could possibly compare) was when we very innocently asked Mr. Hor ton whether or not his own per sonality is the same as that we see on the stage and screen. “No! I hope not! A stage personality is the result of a process of adding touch es liked in previous performances. ■\fter a number of years, your pub- BASKETBALL SEASON STARTS (Continued From Page One) Substitutes: Seniors — F. .\ngelo (10), A.

You there for type yourself.” To our questioning he replied that he very much liked the part of Hen ry in this play. Next to Clarence, in Booth Tarkington’s “Clarence,” the part is his favorite, because he has such a rip-roaring good time do ing it. “Henry is all the things I’d like to be — a lady-killer, absolute boss over everybody, an extravagantly rich, middle-aged bachelor!” His eyes had that amused twinkle in them when he said that. We were a little skeptical then and now we know we had grounds to be. Then before we had time to ask our next question (because by this time we were on the edge of our chairs listening to him) he told us a little bit of the reactions to the play in various parts of the coun try. Puritan New England thought it was wonderful, and it wasn’t un til “blood-thirsty” Chicago that shocked fans began sending in re proving telegrams and letters. . You, Mr. Horton, who have always stood for everythng clean and wholesome on the screen, would consent to be in a play like this!” . . (now the aforesaid per sonal secretary censors all the mail to take out all time-bombs and the like). “But, after all, the parts I play in Hollywood aren’t any more I than is this one.” However, it is rather disturbing, he said, to look down and see fifteen j^ear olds on the front row. One of our stock questions has always been “Which do you ijrefer — stage or screen? And what rea sons do .you have for your prefer ence?” Mr. Horton surprised us by his answer, however, and after about half a minute we were sitting up taking notice. “On the stage the main actor is the king, the boss for three hours and there is no pleasanter experi ence in life than to show off. On the screen, however, an actor gets a more conceited thrill when he can sit back and look at the finished product — a sort of something at tempted, something done idea. The stage is” (and this is what surprised us) “much more impersonal than the screen is.” Something else that interested us was that Edward Everett Hortnn is his real name. He is the second E. E. in the family, and the two were named after the Gettysburg Ed ward Everett (the orator who was supposed to over-shadow Mr. Lin coln’s few words). Mr. Horton is the first in his family to “turn dramatic.” “I had no ambition when I was young to ever become an actor, be cause I was such an icky-looking kid.” But at Columbia University he filled in for a comedy part, was successful, played in others later, and ended up in Hollywood. When he began to open his make up box, we started to leave. “Oh, no, don’t go — that is, if you have ANCHOR CO., Inc. 122 W. 4th Street Phone 6126 time to stay. And please excuse my appearance. I’m not quite present- ably dressed to be entertaining.” So we grat-efully sat back down and soon learned that he does his own make-up and uses the same founda tion for the stage as he does under screen lights (Max Factor No. 28). When reporters came in to take pictures we still were permitted to stay, although Mr. Personal Secre tary was by this time prancing out side the door, and alternately rais ing and lowering his eyebrows at his employer. Although we, of course, realized that it would be impossible to be gin to count Mr. Horton’s previous interviews, he had that wonderful side to his personality that made us feel as if we were the most im portant, the most interesting inter viewers he had ever had. When we left him we were “bubbling over” inside, and felt that we had spent twenty-minutes with a person whose life had been worth the time it had taken. It was an experience long to be remembered. “Say It With Flowers” WALKER’S. FLORISTS Phone 7422 115 North Poplar Street Wiaston-Salem, N. O. ENGRA VING New, Different i and Better | H. T.
