Doug And Mary Wonder If They "Fizzled Out " ? Tiro Idols of the Screen Made Their Joint Genuflection in Debut Before Kadio fans the Other Day and They are Still Wondering Hou- They Cot Over By HAKVKY A M >K I WON Copyr.fht. 1934. toy TH? New Yark. March 14 ? Having] made their flint Joint genuflection to the public ? for the most part,' too. a new public ? Doug and Mary \ were wondering today whether they registered another hit. or "fizzled out." The famous F-alrbanks-Pirkford combination essayed speaking roles for the first time since they entered the movies. They sat in a tiny lit tle room on the sixth floor of the, Aeolian Hall and in turn, talked in ordinary tones into a microphone on a table before them. The instru ment carried their voices to thei radio broadcasting mechanism and gave it to the silent audience. Not even the klleg lights of the movie -Studios registered as they worked. There were no cheers when they were introduced ? not even when the radio announcer used the original term. "America's sweet heart," when he referred to Miss Plckford ? and there was no ap plause when they finished. Their, applause from movie audiences | comes back to them In the form of checks, but Doug and Mary will i never know Just how good, or how j "rotten" their new audienco found; them as public speakers. Anyway, a zm wj of autograph hounds lined the sidewalk as they entered the building. Jammed Into the- elevator with them, and dogged their steps Into the building. Only a couple yf hus'.y Irish policemen kept the adoring fans I from bursting right into the broad-1 casting room. Mary was first on the program. Whether Doug simply couldn't bear up under it. or perhaps because he didn't want to add to Mary's embar rassment ? she choked every now and then ? he walked outside and talked to the cops at the. door. Mary talkrd to the movie struck nirls who might be listening in. not figur ing. perhaps that they were at the movies. "It's a long, uphill fight to success." and "unless you have the back ground and equipment." don'* go into it. were some of her warning phrases. liut she gave a note of encouragement, "If you beMeve in yourself strongly enough, you can ( accomplish anything," she said. I>oug spoke next. He might have! said, following the custom of after I dinner speakers, "for the first time. In my life I have the last word." but j he didn't. He let it be known Justj where sweetheart Mary is. "There are lots of subjects I'd like to talk to you about." he began.' "but there's one that interests you 1 and me most. That is". ? At this point. I>oug observed the ' amenities of the speaking stage by j pausing the customary half minute, before saying: "That is ? 'Mary! tie seemed he - waited another second for cheers, but none came. "People I meet everywhere, say 'tell us of ? Mary." Husband like he immediately switched to another subject and be Head Coach I.iwson Rob?rt*on, track coach ?t University of Pennsylvania, ha* been named head coach of th? American Olympic Track and Field Team. Photo taken in Philadelphia uftcr announcement wa? made. fore he had Rotten back to Mary again, he talked of athletics, his lumps, laughter and half a dozen other things. Mary, meanwhile, sat over in another corner of the room reading the day's mail as their busi ness representative handed it to her. She didn't even pay any attention to tho nice things Doug was saying about her. "Now," said Fairbanks, pausing again, "did you gee t-hat jump? That was about a 15 foot Jump. I did it by bringing my knees up to my chest." But for once, Doug was kidding his new public. He hadn't even moved from his seat at the table be fore the microphone. Then he advocated bathroom laughter. If you haven't got any thing to laugh at when you get up, h? advised, laugh anyway. Then he illustrated how such a laugh would sound, a vacuous, rasping intonation. He finally managed, very neatly, to get back to the subject of Mary. He said that she combined the emot ional and physical happiness that she was a big sister to younger girls, a daughter to old ladies and a mother to young babi<$8. Sympathy with everything, he said, is her charm. Before he finished, his movie aud ience had the idea that Doug wasn't At all displeased with the Pickford Fairbanks combine.

The general price is 25 cents at retail and eggs were sold to the stores in many instances at the same price. No further drop in price is anticipated in the immediate future. Shad is now available almost every day and is selling at 35 cents a pound. The supply is not inexhaustible, how ever, and is sold out early as a rule. The trend of smoked and cured meats appears to be downward, although prices are not definite. VEfcRTABI-KS.
