As Dr. Julius Klein Assistant Secre
tary of Commerce stated to the As
sociated Press a few days ago, “The
tourist crop is the biggest crop we
l ave today, far greater than cotton,
corn and tobacco, and with its three
billion dollars per year distributed
all over America, it represents a
greater industry than the entire steel
and iron industry per year.”
Roanoke Rapids is in a very stra
igetic location on the main line of
Federal 17-1 and Federal 117. the
close proximity to Richmond, Raleigh.
Wilmington and Norfolk has perhaps
ir> the past failed to realize just what
tourist traffic really meant, but the
American Automboile Association es
timates that every out-of-state ear
that passes through Roanoke Rapids
leaves an average cf *2.55 in the city.
In my opinion, thanks to the efforts
i 1 the Atlantic Coastal Highway As
sociation, the bulk of the tourist traf
fic will come via our highway, which
as an all year round route, practically
rJl paved from Maine to Florida, will
he of great benefit to the cities there
cn.
In The Herald next week, I shall
give the readers a complete story of
the plans for the new bridge, the lo
cation and much valuable data. It i.
the intention, I understand of The
Herald, to carry a weekly page ‘‘Pro
gress Picture Chart.” of the work as
soon as the project starts.
The citizens of Roanoke Rapids and
Rosemary owe a debt of gratitude to
j Carroll Wilson, publisher of The Hor
rid. Had it not been for his edi
Ivcrials regarding the loss of 17-1 and
| his insistence that we get this mat
iter called to the attention of the pro
per authorities, I question whether
this change cou’d have been made,
certainly not in as speedy manner as
has been done.
We are only too glad to have been
of service and can assure your cities
that as members of our Association
we are at all times glad to coope
rate.

Marion Davies Coming
In ‘The Floradora Girl’
“The Floradora Girl.” a story of the
Gay Nineties, starring: Marion Da
vies and with a supporting: cast which
includes Lawrence Gray, Walter Cat
lett, Louis John Bartels. Ilka Chase,
Vivian Oakland, Jed Prouty, Claude
Allister. Sam Hardy, Nance O’Neil
and others will show at the Peoples
Theatre Wednesday and Thursday,.
The story, which concerns the ca
reer of a member of the famous “Fio
rodora Sextette,” was written by Gen
Markey. Harry Beaumont directed.
Report has it that several months
were spent in construction of sets for
“The Florodora Girl,” the scenes, sev
eral of which were filmed in Techni
color, representing that era of New
\ork History when ladies showed a
deft skill in manipulating their bust
les when stepping into horse cars a.'.d
hansom cabs. In this connection it is
stated that in an attempt to duplicate
exactly the quaint atmosphere of the
past, the scenic designers sent out a
call for twelve of the ar.iique vehicles.
It was revealed that New York, the
home of the hansom cab, had only one
left and this seemed to serve only as
a subject for O. O. McIntyre’s obser
vations since nobody ever rode in it.
In Los Angeles the hansom cab wan
an unknown quantity and it remained
for a middle West carriage factory
to supply the demand from its yard
of broken-down carriages of ancient
vintage.
It seems that even greater difficul
ty was had in locating one of the
first make of automobiles which was
required for the final sequence of the
picture. The property scouts finally
unearthed a 1902 Oldsmobile which
was found to be in perfect working
order but required almost super hu
man efforts to operate.
The “horseless carriage” had to be
started by cranking on the side, the
engine located underneath the seat
snorting a vociferous appreciation of
the modern gasoline used for fuel. In
the old days, kerosene was good en
ough. Instead of a wheel., the car
steered by a handle and the gears,
a mechanical mystery, baffling so
lution, were mounted on the right
side of the driver. It is said the an
tique vehicle started only aftier a
prolonged study of early mechanical
directions.
