' Next time Laughton goes on a tour, he's going to imitate the imitators. "Just a small project," he said "I'm tired of letting them steal my act."",'.-.' . v ' Ever since Laughton created Captain Bligh for "Mutiny on the Bounty," he's become the night Hub comic's most dependable prop Performers have used his accent to fianifv nnriipnres from Maine to Mocambo. -In Australia, a comic named Sam Slewings mads a name for himself with a takeoff of Laughton as "Rembrandt." In England Tom Wells murdered them In the music halls doing Laughton as "Henry till."

"I couldn't turn on the radio or see a nightclub act with nut ratchinc a caricature of my lf. I crew to lothe 'Captain Bligh' as thoroughly as the aud iences did. -Rut manv years have made me more tolerant, and occasionally I artuallv enlov the performances After seeing and . hearing 200 of these mimics, some good and some horrible. I have become so de tached I don't identify the sketch with myself at all." "When Laughton was making "Man on the Eiffel Tower" in Paris, he went to a Montmartre cafe one night after work. The highlight of the variety show was an interpretation of Laughton as "Jtuggles of Red Gap." "If you can imagine the spec tacle of a very typical French per- former doing an Impression of an Englishman doing his interpreta tion of an American, you may have an idea of what I went through." As he says, though, Laughton has become more tolerant. ."I found it hilariously funny." he said.

Rapid Reader Scored "Invariably." she said, "the rapid reader scores higher on his com prehension of meterial read than does the slower reader." I The reason most of us don't read faster is, 6he said, "the erroneous i belief that in the first three years of school we learn to read" ' and, that the job therefore is finished.
