HERALD FINDS ITS WAY TO
FAR OFF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
GLOVER LEARNS OF
MATTHEW’S ARREST
THRU’ ITS COLUMNS
EDITOR’S NOTE—It is not our desire or intention to
bring undue publicity in connection with the now-famous Mat
thews embezzlement episode, for the final chapters have been
written to the case in Superior Court. Because of the fact that
it was reported here that E. A. Matthew's was “turned up” by
young Leonard Glover, Roanoke Rapids youth serving as a
corporal in the United States Army in Hawaii, and that Glov
er says that report is erronous, we reprint herewith an inter
esting interview with Glover, now visiting his parents in
Roanoke Rapids.
Leonard Glover, a Corporal in the United States Army,
who has been stationed in Hawaii ,for the past three years
is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Glover, on Hatmil
ton Street in Roanoke Rapids. Mr. Glover, while in the far
off Pacific Islands, was a Hera'd subscriber, andd was able
to keep in touch with the happenings of the home town
through this medium, though each copy was two weeks old
when received.
It has been erronously reported
that Corporal Glover was the
native of Rcanoke Rapids who
recognized and identified E. A.
Matthews, fugitive financier who
was extradited from Hawaii and
brought to Halifax for trial. This
report is groundless; however, for
only through the medium of the
Herald, read several weeks later,
did Glover learn of the Matthews
affair.
\\ hile in the Army in the line
of duty Mr. Glover has traveled
rather widely and relates many in
formative facts about interesting
places visited.
The Hawaiian area, a tropical
group of eight volcanic islands
located in the central Pacific, some
2,000 miles from the coast of Cali
fornia, is a territory of the United
States, is represented in Congress,
and only one step removed from
statehood. Hawaii lies in the tor
rid zone on the Tropic of Cancer,
yet is cooled and made pleasant
by the ever present trade winds,
that caress her exquisite beaches
and lofty peaks. Her location is
such that she forms a half way
point to the Orient and is blessed
by nature with so perfect a cli
mate that the group not only be
comes the “Cross roads of the
Pacific,” but also its “Paradise.”
Blooming in eternal beauty, the
flowers, of the colors of the rain
bow, garnished with wild fruits
and berries of every hue; the land
scape husbanded by nature forms
an unforgetable portrait. Forests
of giant ferns and trees whose
hungry limbs drop roots to the
parent earth for succor, remind
one of the adventures of Alice
in Wonderland” and the land of
make believe. Liquid sunshine . . .
a fine percipitaticn falling from
nowhere, apparently with a cloud
less sky and a brilliant sun is
comparable only to itself and to
the islands of wonder. A noctur
nal moon whose caressing rays
bathe the landscape in such silver
splendor that kodak pictures may
be taken without aid of artificial
ight and areoplanes may land
in safety. The land of Mauna Lea,
the largest active volcano in the
world, whose heart is ever aflame
and who voices her displeasure of
nature approximately every ten
years and casts out streams of
molten lava. Mount Haleakala, now
dormant with a crater five miles
in diameter and 3,000 feet in
depth, rears her lofty head 10,000
feet above the sea.
The name Hawaii to the casual
reader calls to mind the music of
steel guitars and the imiginary
images of grass skirted, dusky
maidens dancing lazily to the pe
culiar rythm of these instruments.
This perhaps was typical of the
islands before they were discover
ed and inhabited by the men of
other races. Today it is hard to
find a native or pure blooded
Hawaiian. As the path of the
brown man and the Oriental and
the white man have crossed, so
have the blood streams, and with
the native race have gone the
native tribal rites and customs.
Hawaii is a land now held by the
half cast, the mulatto and men of
yellow and white: a land where
the roads have crossed.
CHARLES FARREL
AND JANET GAYNOR
TOGETHER IN FILM
By HOWARD HANCOCK
Joe E. Brown, and beautiful,
blonde Alice White are eo-featur
ed in “A Very Honorable Guy,”
lively comedy offering which pro
vides one of the best stories for
the big-mouthed comedian in many
a day, at its initial showing at the
Peoples next Monday-Tuesday.
In this picture Brown is cast
as a gambler who is honest, and
in love with Alice White. Suddenly
his luck changes, and he has about
as much chance of winning as a
one-eyed man at a peep show. Not
only that, but he is thrown over
by the girl-friend, and is jailed
for beating a cop.
Anxious to get out of jail, the
“Brain,” a racheteer leader bails
him out, which only adds to his
troubles * as he has to give the
Brain $500 on a- specified date—
or else he will be taken for a
ride. Desperate, Brown decides to
sell his body to pay off the indeb
tedness to the Brain, since he is
a very honorable guy.
Sensing this would be a good
way to get rid of his rival, the
Dr. who is in love with Alice
White agrees to advance hiir.
$1,000 if he will guarantee to de
liver his body within 30-days.
The Brain vouches fcr his hones
ty and the deal is made. Browi.
decides to have one last splurge.
With $1,000 in his hand, and ai
tho a doomed man, his luck chang
es. Soon he wins a 30 to one she,
and is the possessor of $90,000.
When he has won so much money,
his girl-friend returns. Now it is
bad enough to know you have to
die under any circumstances, but
when you have a bankroll of nine
ty-grand—and a gal like Alice
White, well, life is just too much
of a “bowl of cherries” to kick
off
How Joe E. works out of this
predicament provides an exciting
climax to this clever, entertaining
screen comedy. Damon Runyon
wrote the story, and competent
portrayals are handed in by an
excellent cast, including Alan
Dinehart, who is our favorite vil
lain, as “the Brain.”
Little Old New York looks easy
enough to conquer from up there
in the skies, which is the first |
way Janet Gayncr, Chas. Farrell,
James Dunn and Ginger Rogers
<ee it in “‘Change of Heart,” com
ing next Wednesday-Thursday to
he Peoples, but when they get
lown on the ground it terrifies
hem.
The happy quartet mentioned
above hail from cut on the Paci
fic coast but they have the Man
hattan complex. They come East
on a big airship, intent upon con
quering the big town. Janet, for
instance, wants to be a newspaper
writer, while Charles would be a
lawyer, Ginger Rogers has her
eyes on a stage career, while
James Dunn would be a second
Bing Crosby. Janet is sweet on
Charles, he yearns for Ginger,
and James wants Janet, and Gin
ger is all hot and bothered about
a N. Y. millionaire, which makes
quite a romantic mess, as it were.
Janet lands a job at a sort of an
orphanage, James Dunn gets on
the radio as a crooner, Ginger gets
her millionaire and Charles Far
rell gets pneumonia. The latter
calis for Ginger in his delirious
condition, but it is sweet little Jan
et Gaynor who answers the call.
Incidentally, Miss Gaynor displays
among her many and varied tal
ents that she can handle a razor
with a deft touch of artristry that
would make a Rcanoke Rapids
barber turn green with envy.
It is our opinion that “Change
of Heart” will be found to be one
of the better Gaynor-Farrell offer
ings, probably due to the fact that
Ginger Rogers and Jimmie Dunn
have featured roles in the film.
Even this popular teams most de
vout admirers admit there are
times during their films when you
wish something “sensational”
would happen, like Johnny Weiss
muller appearing in his little
bear-skin and yelling like Tarzan,
just to relieve the “sweet” atmos
phere. There is plenty of action in
“Change of Heart,” and it is re
comended as a bright, clean piece
which will entertain and delight
every member of the family.
Friday-Only Jack Haley is offer
ed in “Here Comes the Groom,’’
while Jackie Cooper appears in
“Lone Cowboy,” for the Saturday
picture.
