Around The t Town By W.F. f sheltonI - ! Kstlier Cleveland, daughtcr of (iraver Cleveland, was the only child of a l^-esldent born in the White House. Iit-lowii winners werf MUs France* Kdeus and Mrs. Iteatrire Moon, ey. This week's question is: How many different ways ran a dollar be ('hanged without using pennies? / 11?11 A coltrmn or two ago we dis cussed the advanced admission price policy that Metro-Goidwyn Mayer was using with their high ly touted "Boom Town." Last week MGM descended from their high horse and allowed us a play date on this picture which we will show ati the regular prices. How ever, they protected themselves and their exhibitors which have and will advance admission prices by giving us the 1st and 2nd of December as playing time. If the public would show their dis like of this and other advanced admission policies t'hen such poli cies would be short lived. But only with the cooperation of the public will any such plan be a success and by the same token these plans could be failures. I contend that the< average movie goer should not' be required to pay an advanced fare to the mov. ies Just because some producer has made a better than average movie. 11?11 The difference between Am- j erlcans and Kuropeans these nights; when Americans fear anything they turn the light on ? not off. , ' II? n s The past week witnessed the death of Tom Mix. the greatest of all the film cowboys and for many years a reigning favorite of kids ai}d adults alike. Mix. who was sixty years old, died in an auto accident in Arizona. This great star of yesterday was one of the few remaining symbols oli the earlier days of raoviedom when the star ? not the picture, drew cash customers to the box office. In 1927 he was voted by exhibitors as the best drawing card of the year and remained in the first* ten customer pullers for four more years and not at any time during his greatest glory did he ever appear in a so-called special picture. This. 1 think, is the greatest tribute to Tom Mix himself who was always the same, playing in the same hackneyed out-door melodramas, never smok ing. never drinking and seldom loving, but always projecting his personality and building for him self one of the greatest' groups of fans this business has ever known. His pictures always were clean and filled with manly and heroic adventure. His life on the screen has been an Inspiration to many. This colorful cowboy has passed into the shadows but as long as we of this age live. Tom Mix will | he remembered. Perhaps his last screen appearance was in a serial j produced by Republic several! seasons ago. (i at ' II ? II Not as w?*ll known as Mix was Berton ('liuirliill, snowy haired, genial, character actor who died in New York last week. A veteran trouper, Churchill was preparing for a stage role in "(ieor^e Wash ington Slept Here" when s trick, en with uremic poisoning. He will be recently remembered by movie patrons as the .Judge in "The Return of Frank James" and again as a judge "Public Deb. No. l.M f-H 1 Louisburg man remarked last week that the only issue between the Democrats and the Republi cans was Securities vs. Security. 11? If Hard luck man of the week is the local mechanic who bought a two-pants suit and burnt a hole in the coat. f-f Motion picture exhibitors for a number of years have conducted their own poll to determine the biggest drawing star for that year. The following list Is interesting in that it reveals Shirley Temple was the greatest customer draw ing star of all time. The moppet has drawn more people to the na tions box oclces than any other stpr In history. Leading stars and the year or years t>hey were leading are given below: 1918 Douglas Fairbanks: 1919 and 1920 Wallace Reid ; 1921 and j 1922 Mary Pickford; 1923 Thom as Meigh'ati; 1924 Norma Tal madge; 1925 Rudolph Valentino; 1926 Coleen Moore; 1927 Tom Mix; 1928 and 1929 Clara Bow; 1930 Joan Crawford: 1931 Janet Gaynor; 1932 and 1933 Marie Dressier; 1934 Will Rogers; 1936 1936, 1937 and 1938 Shirley Temple and 1939 Mickey Rooney. !f?
