Page 8 THE POINTER Friday May 1, 1942 / I' Seniors See Picture Depicting Life Of Master William Shakespeare Seniors gathered last week for a class meeting to see a picture showing the surroundings, plays, and characteristics of Shake speare. It started with the homeplace of Shakespeare and told of his hard road to success as a play- right, and also told of his court ship of Aim Hathaway. His first position in the acting world was as a prompter in which he some times substituted lines when ac tors forgot the original ones. Aft er a while, people began to like his witty sayings, so he started rewriting whole scenes. This started him in the writing of plays, and he devoted his life to this profession. Shakespeare has written a total of 37 comedies and tragedies, some of which are, “Hamlet,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Macbeth,” and many other plays that are now famous. Watkins Reviews (Continued from Page 1) As I look back over the year’s work I find only one thing that I wish could have been a better success. That was the annual Social Standards Conference, ence. I must say that I leave High Point high school and friends who so loyally supported me dur ing my administration, with a pang in my heart. But I am sure that next year’s president will guide you to higher standards than the council and I have been able to this year. It is with the warmest spirit that I turn the position over to Bob Hicks. WESTERN FRONT (A Sight to Behold) By James Meekins (Copyrt. res.)

This motion picture featured the Ritz Brothers for laughs, and the Andrews sisters for the musical touch. As presidents of “Colos sal Industries Inc.,” the Ritz bro thers owed money to everyone. “After difficulties, the trio fin ally escaped to a liner bound for South America. One of their in vestments, a girl band, also es caped with them. Getting in volved in a big mixup about ban dits, the party settled at a ho tel where the girls were supposed to have an engagement, but it was found out that an American nam ed “Abraham Lincoln” gypped them out of their money. In order to secure the neces sary money to run the hotel, the girls decided to capture some bandits and did so. While the Ritz brothers have gone for help, the girls get soft-hearted and re lease the bandits. Meanwhile, the Ritz brothers find someone who looks like a policeman, but find out it is a singing telegram boy. VICK PAINT AND WALLPAPER °hone 2678 117 E. Commerct RALPH O. STARNES, Mgr.
