The American Legion Hal- ,
lowe'en party was an entertain
ment success, I believe that
every person hail a grand even
ing entertainment. It is inter
esting to note lliat while there
was some of the usual Hallow
e'en misTliief there was far less '
property damaging "fun" than
usually occurs. This |>arty was 1
an outlet for the mischievous
energies that are generated !
around Hullowc'eu time. If for
no other reason than this the
party should be inaile an an
nual affair. There is also a
great opportunity here for a
yearly event that could be built
into an affair to attract state
wide attention. (jet us make
every effort that next (krtobcr
does not pass without as good,
or if possible, a better Hallow- i
e'en party.

Bobby Jordan of the Dead End
Kids was a surprise feature of !
tlie Legion Hallowe'en party. Jor
dan came to the theatre the af
ternoon before ohe party and re
quested that 1 introduce hiui to
the officials in charge in order
that he might make a personal
appearance. His performance was
very entertaining, especially his;
imitation of the President. How
or exactly why Jordan came to
Louisburg J do not know but I
do know that he was the authen- i
tic Bobby Jordan. 1 questioned
him at length and satisfied myself j
rliat he was genuine. He remark
ed that he appeared as "Anger*
in the stage play of "Dead End" \
at 16. There followed a career i
with the other boys of seven years ;
of stardom including i*he picture
"Dead End" and the greatest of
all their pictures "Angela With
Dirty Faces." Jordan i3 now 23 !
and married.

Amcrintiis have once again
gone to t li?? polls and exen-lsed J
their Const itutional right to
vote their choice. This particu
lar vote was the first time in
history that Americans hail
broken tin* third term prece
dent. Precedents are no longer
things to he taught by and
>own by. We are breaking even
more serious precedents every
day so what matter that no
other President in history ever
served a third term.

We shall be the first to propose
that all campaign buttons be sent
to Britain where Mie metal could
be melted down to use in arma
ments. The pro-Koosevelt buttons
when melted should make excel- ?

while the auM-Hoosevelt buttons
would make a very good artillery
piece. If these millions of but
tons are thrown away there would
he a lot <>i nitASS waited

Then of course if we could
not scud the buttons to Britain
we should Mend a few plane

could be drop|?cd on cities to
show the people tlmt a great
country still exists where it is
still and always the right of

The actor Hubert Montgomery ;
in a New York forum has attack-1
ed t'he leadership of the movie
industry and blames the ills of
the industry upon these leaders
who, claims Montgomery. have i
caused these ills to be brought
nbout by the production of a poor
average product. Mr. Moubgomery
put his foot in his mouth when he
uttered such a statement. He
should have paused to consider
that the moving picture business
is the fifth largest industry in the
United States and that t'he influ
ence of American movies has
spread all over the globe build
ing a great market for American
goods and educating people in the
American way. This world leader
ship has been so outstanding thai'
many foreign countries have been
forced to legislate against, the
American movie inorder to pro
tect their own weak output'. This
world leadership. Mr. Montgom
ery should be reminded, has not j
been gained by a "poor average
product." It lias been gained by
the pure excellence and entertain
ment value that' the average Am
erican picture delivers. In speak
ing of a "poor average product"
perhaps Mr. Montgomery was re
tiring to just those more recent
pictures that he has appeared In.
