when she contemplates having it i
moved to her estate on the Hudson.
Las* summer Miss Ulric traveled'
tweive thousand milts from a trim
European countries to visit hevj
husband in Blowing Rock, and had:
made plans to spend several weeks!
there, -ur three hours after her ar-;
rival, a call came f or her to come to I
I. Angeles for the casting of a picture.
and she left immediately.
A great lover on the stage, Mr.
Blackme seems ;o be eauaiiy adept
at 'he an . game in real life.:
To him. Miss I.Trie seems to represent
the embodiment ef everything!
goad; Their views along all lines ap-|
pareutk are perfect harmony ?1
even v? politics. She is a whole
hearted sir.-p- nor vi Al Smith for The
Presidency, ami believes he wili be
the next Democratic candidate. He
is : staunch admirer of the "Harpy
Warrior,* but I? ok.s 011 Franklin D.
Roosevelt as the "sure-shot" for
1!K>2. Ib wever, they both follow The
Der.iocratic donkey, and confidently
expect the administration to change
following: the next election.
A few years ago levin Cobb stated
lhar |p North Carolina needed was
a press agent. In Miss Ukic and Mr.
Biavknier the Old North State has
two of the most sincere boosters on
record,?two famous persons who
just love t > "tell the world" how well
they like it. And they intend to stay
just as lc.ng possible on this "second,
horn ymoon." In the meantime,
they will return as often as possible
to their snug little home on the,
moftfctain top.
