WORK ON SOCIAL
SECURITY BILL
Special Session Of
Legislature Conven
es Thursday
RALEIGH, Dec. 7.—{IP)—The state
attorney general’s office worked to
day on an administration unem
ployment Insurance bill which Gov
ernor Ehrlnghaus will present to
the special session of the North
Carolina general assembly which
convenes Thursday.
Assistant Attorney General Harry
McMullen said a preliminary draft
of the bill, designed to save the
state an estimated *2,500.000 tn so
cial security benefits, has almost
been completed. He added, however,
work to make the measure holdproot
would probably continue until the
*Bve of the session.
Attorney General A. A. F. Sea
well is in Washington to confer
with federal officials regarding the
measure.
Governor Ehringhaus late Satur
day called the special session to
convene Thursday to pass legisla
tion enabling North Carolina to
share immediately in all measures
of the social security act passed by
congress.
Maintaining his position that act
already passed in North Carolina
was sufficient to bring the state
within the federal act, the governor
called the legislature, he said, to
meet so that there would be no
question about the matter.

Local Talent Stirs Audience;
Critic Gives Likes, Dislike
By WYAN WASHBURN j
There is nothing like local talent
to set the fires of romance and
sympathetic interest burning.
From that point of view, “Little
Women,” given here on Friday night
by the Community Players, was a
decided success. The audience was
delighted to see Shelby people whom
they know play the roles of Louisa
Aloott's best known story.
Play Wju Long
Before the praise, however, should
come a few words of criticism. The
play was too long. It didn’t start on
time, it took too long to change from
one act to the other, and finally
there ought to be a law—about an
audience allowing children to make
noises which would not be tolerated
in a legitimate theatre.
Perhaps Marlon DeForest who ar
ranged the play from the book is
responsible for the length of the
play. Marlon should have cut the
story to a playing time of at least
two hours. Then barring providen
tial hindrances, an amateur organ
ization which sete an example for
high school and other*'local pro
ductions should start at the time
advertised to begin.
From appearances, members of
the cast had to make up them
selves and the stage too, which took
too long. Appi-oxiinately .30 min
utes was consumed between ’ acts
and scenes.
Children Noisy
Shelby children ought not to
need a lecture on good manners,
but from the feet dangling over
the balcony, dropping papers on
women’s head, shouting “goodbyes”
to the actors at tense scenes, it ap
pears parents should have accom
panied the children or the audience
should have been well-policed.
That’s enough for the cain-rais
ing. I enjoyed the play. The acting
was above the average for amateur,
and the scenes were highly realis
tic.
Charles Wray as Laurie showed
the most native ability as an actor
and was run a close second by
James Shepherd as Mr. Bhaer, a
German professor. The love scenes
of Lindsay Dali and Billie Hewitt
as Mr. Brooke and Meg brought
tears and laughter. Of all the cast
only these two stoke their lines
loud enough.
Cast Excellent
Pegram Holland as Mr. March
and Paul Wilson as Mr. Laurence
make grand old men of the Civil
was era, kind gentle sympathetic
souls. The other little women, Mary
Jenkins as Jo, Harriett Oidney as
Beth and Kathleen Shepherd as
Amy put the tragedy, enthusiasm,
pathos and romance one looked for
into the play. Reeves Forney as
Mrs. March was motherly and went
through the emotional scenes per
fectly. Carobel Lever as fruffy Aunt
March and Frances Green as Han
nah gave the play a humorous life
like aspect.
Minnie Eddins Roberts and Mur
ray McGowan in charge of make
up did a good Job, with Paul Wilson
and Jim Shepherd being exhibits
A and B. Others were trim and
neat and in character. Of course,
Van Horn's costumes which came
all the way from Philadelphia at a
cost of $50 or more were a success.
They really made the play.
New Hnglandish furnishings,
simple but rugged were ample, and
the orchard scene was perfect for
a climax.

AT ROGERS TODAY AND TUESDAY
Eleanor Powell and James Stewart in a spectacular scene
from “Born To Dance."
Today's— =
SMALL TALK
. By MRS. RENN DRUM
THAT COSTUME, WHICH REPRESENTED MEN'S STYL
es of the 1860’s and which was worn by Lindsay Daily in
the Community Players’ production of “Little Women” Fri
day evening, hung in the hall at the Dail apartment several
days last week while the play was in rehearsal.
uora, me uaus mam was might
lly curious about that queer looking
outfit and on several 'occasions
urged Marse Lindsay to model it.
Thursday evening, before going to
the high school for full dress re
hearsal Lindsay did get himself
encased in the thing before leaving
home and strutted about a bit to'
allow Mistress Betty, Maid Dora
and Boss Jerry to admire him. In
showing off the outfit he explained
to Dora, "This is a Civil War cos
tume.”
And Dora was properly impress
ed. She exclaimed: "Lawdy, it sure
is been kep' a long time, ain't it?”
Strange to say, the world is full
of nuts like me who dote on prob
lems, so I’m passing on (me today,
proposed by W. E. Abemethy, Shel
by high school principal, which has
to do with the horseman who went
to the fairs:
ThO man started out with a num
ber of horses, Which is the unknown
quantity in the problem. He went
to three fairs and at each of the
fairs he had to part with one horse
to get in and one horse to get out.
Also at each fair he sold half of
the horses he had on hand after
he got inside that particular fair.
When he left the third fair he had
one horse left—to ride home on, of
course. Now, it’s up to the problem
solvers to determine how many
horses he started out with.
W. R. Gary, high school principal
and teacher of math at Fallston,
cut his teeth on a problem, for all
I know he may have been born
with the proverbial silver problem
—or was it a spoon—in his mouth.
80, Mr. Gary is asked, if he tries
this one, to give other contestants
a ten minute start. He shouldn’t be
allowed more than fifteen seconds
for an easy one like that.
A certain Mr. Dover, living in
Shelby, whose first name is Ben,
went into an uptown establishment
to pay a bill. The girl at the desk
said, "Name please?” He gave his
name In proper fashion but, to the
girl behind the desk, it. sounded
like "Bend over."
You can imagine her surprise at
this apparently mysterious com
mand from a perfect stranger. She
drew herself up with dignity and
said "What did you say?” The an
swer was the same, except in
slightly louder tones, “Bend over.”
Now the gill was really irritated,
at such apparent playfulness in a
business transaction, and asked
frigidly, “What do you mean?”
Upon which the little mystery was
cleared up, to the amusement of
both.
• • • •
The incident tickled me particularly
because Mr. Dover and I are in the
same boat on that name proposi
tion. Mine is more often misunder
stood and misspelled than other
wise. I am constantly referred to
and addressed as “Mrs. Rendrum,"
first syllable heavily accented, as if
I had no need for more than one
name and that that one must have
two syllables. And, besides the ren
drum-ers, there are those realistic
folk who insist on calling me
“Mrs. Renn Dumb."
Since I once stated in a column
that women ate discriminated
against when It comes to pay en
velopes, and have been overheard
mouthing the same subject, some
one handed me this story as the
proper explanation of the situation.
A motion picture company ap
proached members of an Indian
tribe .whom they needed as extras
in the filming of a picture, with the
offer of $5 an hour for every man,
woman and child who appeared in
the scenes.
Big wigs of the tribe went Into a
huddle and when they un-hud died
the chief announced the tribe would
:o-operate only on gondltlon the
tompany pay the men $9 an hour,
he wome n*2.50 an hour, and the
diildren 50c an hour. "‘But," said ;
the amazed company manager, j
‘that's not ns much as we offered
rou. We're willing to pay 15 an
hour for the women and children
too.”
“Sure,” said the chief, “but we
have to live with 'em after you’re
gone.”
At The Theatres
A new star discovery, Doris Nolan,
will make her Shelby debut at the
Webb today and Tuesday, in a story
that’s a cross section of the ways
of modern youth, of a girl who can
neither cook nor marry, but is
choosy about the man she loves.
The title is “The Man I Marry,” with
Michael Whalen in the opposite
role. News reel and cartoon are
added attractions.
A surging revelation of one wom
an’s defiance of oppressive social re-,
strictions 1s brought to the Caro
lina’s screen today and Tuesday, in
“A Woman Rebels,” starring Kath
arine Hepburn and Herbert Mar
shall. The absorbing story deals
with a girl filled with a burning
ambition to attain personal free
dom. Her valiant struggle and sac
rifices provide vivid drama.
MQM’s mammoth new musical,
“Born to Dance,” opened a two
day engagement at the Rogers to
day. Eleanor Powell, America's No.
1 female hoofer, has the title role,
of course, with James Stewart and
Virginia Bruce also as stars. Seven
new Cole Porter song hits will be
heard, this time with Lady Powell
doing her own singing. Una Mer

and many other names famous in
the musical arena, are included in
the long supporting cast.
