Bascom had a letter In his hand when he walked Into my office. An was. too, but it was evident from the handwriting and from the ad dress in the cor ner from whom it had come. “I have a letter from Anderson this morning,” he said, holding out rlie en velope. I haven’t read it yet, but I know even before I do so that it win mane me mao." Bascom had a prejudice against Anderson. He disliked the man no matter In what role he was playing and he had no especial reason for do ing so. It was just that whatever Anderson did was wrong in Bascom’s eyes. Clayton didn’t like butter, or at least he said he didn't. The mere mention of the word would give Clay ton nausea. He could scarcely sit at the table comfortably if the butter plate was In sight. If you told him that something he was eating con tained butter he would push back his plate and call the meal finished. And yet if he were not told of the presence of butter he would eat with relish anything that contained it. It was not the taste of butter, or the odor of it. which he disliked—it was Just the idea and for this absurd prejudice of his he could give no adequate excuse. There came to me in the mail this morning a list of fifty words represent ing organizations, ideas, and nation alities. • “Read through the list of words and phrases tested below,” I am told. “Consider each one not more than five seconds. If It calls up a disagreeable association, cross It out.” I was a little surprised—I was even annoyed to discover how many of these words called up distasteful and displeasing reactions In my mind. I know very little of socialism, for ex ample, and should have neither an agreeable nor a disagreeable emo tional reaction to the word, but Its effect on me Is distinctly unpleasant and Is so without reasonable founda tion. I am thoroughly opposed to war and yet “disarmament” gives me a sensation of repugnance. oneitou nas n strong prejudice ■gainst secret societies. He never be longed to one; he knows nothing ■bout their rituals or their serious purposes; he could not bring up a ■ingle Instance, If called upon to do ■0, which would throw discredit upon one of these organizations or Its mem bora, but still he doesn’t like ’em he aaya, and so when his boy went to col lage Shelton’s only piece of advice to Ida young heir waa not to Join any thing. Prejudice, 1 suppose. Is pretty large ly the result of ignorance. If we knew people and places and organizations and institutions better we would have fewer prejudices. Reading and travel and association with people and things are aura to break down our prejudices and make us more considerate and broader minded. If some one could once get Shelton into a secret society he might be made to see how simple and harmless most of them are. C* 1111. Wmtorn Mtwapapar Ualoa.) THRILLING AIR FIGHTS IN “HELL’S ANGEL’S” COST $2,000,000 TO FILM Howard Hughes Spares No Expense to Make Aviation Drama Authentic Spectacle of Gigantic Scope “Hell’s Angels,” the most exepen sive and moat talked about film drama of ail time will be the deluxe attraction at the Peoples Theatre on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Nearly three years in the making and bearing an overhead cost of ap proximately $4,000,000, this lavish air-thriller is the screen sensation of the new era of the talkies. Howard Hughes, the 25 year old producer and director of ‘Hell’s An gels,” has shattered all records in time and money on a single picture. His prodigal outlay is discussed wherever films are shown, and fans everywhere are eager to view the first multi-million dollar talkie. It is more than three years ago since “Hell’s Angels” was first launched — as a silent super. Sub sequently the cast and story were revamped and all of the non-flying sequences refilmed with sound and dialogue. Ben Lyon, James Hall and Jean Harlow are eo-featured in the lead ing roles and are supported by such well-known players as John Darrow. I ucien Prival. Jane Winton, Lena Malena, Duoglas Gilmore. Stephen Carr. Tommy Carr. Pat Somerset, Granville Divis. Lisa Gora. Wynd nam Hall and others. Approximately 137 aviators, and is many mechanics including nearly ?very stunt flyer and ex-war ace vailable in America, participated in he sky action of “Hell’s Angels,” which alone required 18 months to record. Exactly 87 planes, including 40 true wartype ships, both German and Allied, took part in “Hell's Angels.” A Zeppelin and a giant Gotha bombing plane also fgiure promi nently in mile-high action above the clouds. This is the largest air fleet ever assembled to perform in a Pr*“ vate enterprise. More than $2,000,000 was expend ed on the aviation scenes alone, and another half million was invested in the dirigible sequence, which is a spectacular highlight of the film. This latter episode, incidentally, is the first authentic reproduction of the famous wartime Zep raid on Lon don. MOVING ‘MIKES’ CAPTURE DIALOG FOR EVERY POSE Its getting so that screen actors ere never safe from the motion pic ture microphones! Take the case of Miriam Hopkins, Frank Morgan. Charles Starrett and ether players in ‘‘Fast and Loose,” at the Peoples Theatre for the middle of the week. The ever present micro phone followed Miss Hopkins and Starrett on a nocturnal swim, it lis tened in on them while both were un der an automobile attempting to re pair the motor, and it even followed World’s Only Twin Rulers The young Queens Thasa and Insatl of Laos, In French Indo-Cblna, pho tographed in the drawing room of their palace. Their state Is Independent, although they have a French political adviser. Laos Is a Chinese word moaning '‘ancient.'’ The people of the country are called Shans by the Bur mese. but by themselves Tai Yal (the Elder Tail), In contradistinction to Tai Nni (the Lesser or Younger Tai), the name which they give to ths Siamese, in habits, customs, religion and language, the Laos people resemble I!.** Burmese and the Siamese. them to jail. These novel placements for the dia log recording instrument marks a new era in motion picture making, recording to Fred Newmeyer, direc tor of “Fast and Loose.” “The free use of the microphone in this picture marks the passing of the restraint which hindered actors and directors in the early days of the sound ricture,” says Newmeyer. “Time was when fall players grouped themselves self consciously around the ‘mike’ and spoke their lines. Now actors play their scenes as the action demands. It is up to the sound engineers to follow them wherever they go. “In ‘Fast and Loose.’ we pioneer ed in this respect. We filmed and recorded a unique love scene, played entirely in the water. Miriam Hop kins and Starrett swam all over Man hasset Bay, and the cameras and mi exophones registered every facial ex pression and syllable of their con versation.” “Fast and Loose,” comes to the Peoples Theatre Wednesday and Thursday of next week, supplement ed by Sound News and other shert features. CARD OF THANKS Miss Rosa Garris and sister wish to thank their many friends for the courtesies, kindnesses and sympathy shown in the recent bereavement of their dear sister, Mrs. Alice Whitby. Rosa Garris and Sister. READERS COLUMN Mr. Carroll Wilson, Editor of The Herald, Roanoke Rapids. N. C\, Dear Sir: Will you kindly print my letter in your good paper? Lots of comment has been made in regards to having Rosemary incor porated. I for one am not kicking on same, but why not have things done at the proper time? It is no need for me to tell anyone about conditions; that people cannot pay their taxes row, and lots of them are on the verge of losing their life time sav ings (their homes) so why talk about making more taxes by incorporating at this time? As a suggestion, don’t you think it would be so much wiser to wait (2) two years to have Rosemary incorporated and let things come to normal? It would give our good people a chance to catch their breath. Aiany ox oui u»a plaining against incorporation now, who would not if they could only pay the taxes they owe now and, if we are going to make the taxes still higher, don’t you see what the fu ture mean? Of course, those few who have already paid their taxes don’t mind if we would be incorpor ated tomorrow, but how about those who have their nose to the grindston and dont see any way possible they And You will find our Service to be the kind you like. Com plete ONE-STOP SERVICE i - You needn't feel that your car will look dilapi dated because repairs will cost too much. We are specialists in speedy, satisfactory jobs — and you’ll find that we al ways charge less. BRICKELL MOTOR COMPANY Oldsmobile Sales and Service rosemary, ui-'L R-414-1 North Carolina can meet their taxes? If we waited all this time, why not wait (2) two years longer and then perhaps every body will have a smile on their face when you mention incorporation. I note in the News and Observer of Feb. 10th, on the editorial page, where a Smithfied papet had (7) seven pages advertising homes for sale for TAXES. If we are going to do things with our eyes closed and have Rosemary incorporated at this critical time, then I am sure your paper w’ill be advertising full pages homes for sale for lack of taxes. To those who are insisting on in corporation now, wouldn’t it be so i> uch better to have harmony and wait, than to cut our nose off to spite our face? Personally, I would like to see Rosemary incorporated, but I am not looking for what 1 want only, it is the masses of our good citizens, and I feel that they cannot pay the taxes for what they owe now, so how in the name of God can they pay still more taxes? I am not trying to step on any ones toes as I want friendship and like to see happy faces and broad smiles. Hoping that we will have harmony in our community. JACK L. VVEISSNER. IN MEMOKIAM In remembrance of my dear hus band, Boyce B. Higgins, who depart ed this life twelve long months ago today, Feb. 17th, 1931. February is here again, the saddest of them all- I feel so sad and lone some. Dear 1 miss you everywhere I never will forget those kind words and loving smiles.
