Hunter Brady made a business Asheboro’s First Carousal Was Called a Flying-Jenny So far back Arthur Ross and Bob I Penny can’t remember the date, the first carousal came to Asheboro. At that time, the modern contrapt ion consisted of six horses and a chariot and was called a Flying Jenny. It was brought to Ashe boro by George and Jim Penny, well known throughout this, andi many other states, as The Penny Brothers. At that time, George Penny came to Arthur Ross of Asheboro, and borrowed $135 from him for the purchase of the Flying-Jenny. It was only a short time afterwards that he returned and paid his debt, according to Mr. Ross "with money in every pocket that he got from rides on his Flying-Jenny. This affair was an early model of the carousal of today. It was turned by a crank by means of a colored man or boy, who was paid by a ride while the other fellow turned the crank. Each rider was furnished a spear to catch at rings as the FlyingOenny speeded by. The person who captured the braes ring won a free ride. This enter tainmen was located on the old “bone-yard” where the manager of the modern eight-rides entertain ment claims he, as well as his old Garden Tea Most Pleasant For Many Ramseur Ladies Ramseur, Aug. 16.—Circle No. 1 of the M. E. Church was hostess at a benefit garden tea Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 6:30 o’clock at the home of Mrs. W. E. Marley on Raleigh Roard. Mrs. Marley .and Mrs. E. C. Watkins, chairman of the circle, greeted the guests on the spacious lawn. Mrs. A W. Craven poured tea from a beautiful ap pointed table, tempting sandwiches and assorted cookies were passed by several of the circle memebers all during the receiving hours. A neat sum was realized for the circle treasury. MANHATTAN New York is always willing to show you—if you look for them — is the taking of pictures for the : smart advertisements which adorn the backs of magazines. Almost every day you can see models posing at counters, climbing ; out of cars, entering elevators-r ■ apparently casual' members of the scene—yet they are trained actres3 1 es being caught for toney advertis 1 ements of automobiles, hosiery, frocks, all the other trillion and one ! things that thrill the feminine (and 1 sometimes the masculine) eye. Today, for instance, two automo 1 biles whirled up to the curb in 5th avenue, near 48th street, and two 1 lovely young girls got out. Despite • a temperature which threatened to ! make ice-cream cones out of the buildings, these young women [ were dressed in richly warm fall frocks. They carried school books in their arms. It didn’t take the crowd, which miraculously mobil ized in the twinkling of an eye, a minute to understand that here ■ was a delineation of what smart young ladies in finishing schools must wear this autumn. One of the Girls sauntered up the steps of a church and sat down. She raised her arm as if to shield her eyes from the sun. The other lasped into a pose on a lower step. They were, two trained models, pos ing on the steps of a 5th avenue church. But, next month, when the ads appear, they will be college misses, gazing across the campus from the steps of some college ad ministration building. For the moment it seemed strange that, deplicting college frocks, the steps of a fashionable church should be used—until, that is one lanced up and noticed the sign. It said: The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas! Not by any means are instances like this few and far between. Not long ago, crossing Central Park, I came upon a medieval knight in ar mor, on a white charge, holding in his arms a golden haired princess right out of Tennyson’s Ilylls of the King. Her eyes were blue and her tresses were so long that they easi ly might have reached from the secret window of her tower to the ground, just as they did in the old tayles of long ago. The kniht azed tenderly at the fair-hiared Elaine The cameras clicked. “Okay”, yelled the director. The princess leaped down and reached for a tube of lipstick. The knight gazed tenderly at the help me off this nag.” The cameraman put away his cameras. The director said, “Gimme a match, Lancelot.” The charger stomped—and flick ed at a fly with his flowing tail. You remeber this one. It was on the back of all the big magazines —advertising cigarettes. ■IIIHIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllHItlllllHIIIIUtlllUIIIIMInlilllllllllWII iiiiiitii^iiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiaiiaiii'iaitiiia'iiiiiuiuiiiiii Hollywood. — Scenario editors may go gunning for Cameron Rog By GEORGE TUCKER New York—One of the intimate, informal little sidelights which Hollywood By BOBBIN COONS er brothers, have traded horses over every inch of the ground. But, passe’ as the model of this first mechanical ride ever brought to Asheboro was, it served its purpose and entertainment to many. It was on this that the Penny Brothers made their first thousand dollars. 'The contraption was traded to a Mr. McNeill of Laurinburg or Lumberton, for a pair of grey mules and $400 boot. This first affair was called a Flying-Jenny, then the name was chunked to hobby-horses, then it was called a merr-go-round and now is a carousal. Now, Bob Penny, youngest bro ther of the famous Penny Brothers, is in town with a different song and dance. It is the same thing, but different. Bob has eight of the latest inventions with his out door show and his “Flying-Jenny” consists of 32 horses, four char iots—pulled by a nine-horse-power motor. But, the location, is not far distant from the first one— diagonally across the street thi3 week, and the same jovial Penny spirit with Bob as manager, meet ing and greeting his old trends and immediately making his new ac quantances his friends. number of manuscripts that come to their desks from unknowns to be returned “unopened and unread.” Rogers, now scripting “The White Rajah,” as an Errol Flynn vehicle, got in himself by writing for publication. But he says you don’t have to—and backs it up with statistics. Just to prove his point, he look ed up the records of more than 200 of his conferes. Some oi' the best, he says, broke In not by writing novels and plays, but by writing “originals” and selling them cold, somehow or other, to the studios. Most From Newspapers The folks who “used to be a newspaperman myself” make up the largest single group, but less! than one-fourth of the total. These include Rian James, Allan Rivkin, John Monk Saunders, Frances Ma rion, Claude Binyon, Jack Moffitt and Oliver H. P. Garrett. “But here’s a surprise”, says Rogers. “The second largest group is made up of former actors and actresses—all the way from ex vaudeville troupers to former mo vie players. These comprise about 21 per cent of today's film writers. Who? Well, Virginia Van Upp, Frank Butler, Sid Silvers, Lynn Root, Seena Owen, Howard Es la brook ... “And then playwrights: 19 per cent. Let’s see—Lawrence Riley of ‘Personal Appearance,’ George S. Kaufman, Frank Adams.. .And no velists and magazine writers. About 16 per cent. He Cited Cases “But the most interesting group —and here’s my point—is made up of men and women frqm all walks of .life. School teachers, chorus girls, society figures, stenogprah ers, lawyers, script clerks, college boys, poets, laborers, and what hot. Yes, about 14 per cent, I’d say." Proof? Grover Jones was once a prop boy. Rowland Brown started as a laborer on the Fox lot. Luci Ward was a script clerk. Lillian Barkley, Paul Green (professor of philosophy) and Otto Harbach were among the school teachers who had things to say for pictures. Elizabeth Meehan was a Follies girl. Marguerite Robers and Anne Austin were stenographers. Sonya Levien was a lawyer. Zot Akins and Samuel Hoffenstein were poets. Marion Jackson was a society edi tor. There is even a concert pianist among the lot—Maude Fulton. And out of societyJ, via the fan mag* route, stepped Marcella Burke. Mrs. C. J. Lovett To Fete Visitor At Party Tonight Mrs. Clarence J. Lovett is hav ing a small bridge party tonight at her home on Park street for Mr. and Mrs. John Griffis of Waycross, Ga., who are guests of the Lovetts and other revives in Asheboro. Mrs. Lovett’s guests are chiefly members of the family and old friends of Mrs. Griffis who knew her as Miss Frances Porter. She is a relative of the William Sidney Porters, (O’Henry) of Guilford cc-unty. In the summer-time when flow ers are plentiful, it is few amateur gardners that look toward the fall when flowers are handsomer and more greatly admired because of their rareity. Under normal con ditions, roses make a fall showing quite equal to that of June, accor ding to several famous gardners. Such results are not to be antici pated, however, if the rose plants are neglected after the flower dis play of June and early July. All too often, when the flowers disappear, the plants are allowed to shift for themselves. As a result, black spot and other diseases develop, the plants suffer for lack of moisture, and long canes grow and turn into hard wood. Such defoliated and prematurely hardened plants can not be expected to produce good Fall roses; often they produce none.
