THE CONCOftfc &AILY fltf&UNB
SOLICITOR ZEB V. LONG
l HEARD AT KIWANIS CLUB
> Speaks «Q Heritage ReerfvetT From
Ancestors and Sees Beginning of a
, New Era.
Solicitor Zeb V. Long, of States*,,
} rift?, was the principal speaker Fri
day at the weekly luncheon of the Ki
wanis Cldb. making an eloqlent ad
dress in praise of the work done by
our ancestors in planting our flag
on tlie foundation of justice and peace
instead of founding it on force, as
the nations had don? up to that
time.
"As I stand here now I can see
a most hopeful hour,” be said. "I
believe that the time shall come when
the war-worn, war-cursed nations of
the earth shall look at our nation and
eome as pilgrims to a shrine, seeiug
in us a country whidh first took the
teaching of the Scriptures in its build
ing. that of ‘Peace on Earth Good
Will to Men’."
Mr. Long declared that as lie at
tended the meetings of the various
civic organizations, which were form
ed to lift souls to better and sweeter
things of life, it occurred to him that
the main filing in life was life: that
the greatest thing in life was to em-,
phasize the glory of human life.
"The, citizen who does not take
part in the things that go ro improve
the community, does not come up to
file opportunity offered," he asserted.
“All might to come out of their shells
and mingle with mankind. It is
only in this way that/ we may culti
vate noble attributes.”
"We should lie proud of iatr heri
tage. Our forefathers eoftributed
nobly to human life. When they dis
covered that" the government derives
its rig’iif from the consent of the
governed, they sent out a new clarion
call and freed mankind everywhere
from the shackles which bound it."
In addition to Mr. Long, guests at
the luncheon included Judge Henry
P. Lane, who is holding court here
this week, and Miss Hoover, court
stenographer. The music was in
charge of Mix. Leslie Terrell ami Mrs.
H. G. Gibson. Prof. J. B. Robertson
'lad charge of the meeting.'
After an opening song business
matters were taken up. Howard Col
lie reported on rates to the conven
tion at Pinehurst. Dr. R. M. King
made a report ou the young woman
sent to Charlotte for operation.
The next luncheon program is to
be in charge of Harold Ruth.
HAROLD LLOYD AIMED TO
MAKE NEWEST HIS BEST
Hopes “Freshman” Will Make Same
II liman Appeal as "Grandma's Boy"
and ‘‘Girl Shy.”
Critics have pointed out that only
in comedy lias the motion picture
achieved a distinct art. While the
j rest of the industry seems to be pro-
I grossing slowly, the comedy has de
i veioped its own peculiarities—its way
j of putting over the ideas and aecoui
;*paliving them \\ ifa laughs*
j The trend today is away from the
j -xiiip.iick—slaptisck with its easily
I imitated gags. Spectators laugh the
• first time you bend a club over a
1 man's head, but when another come
| diaii. and every comedian thereafter
I dues tjie same, it becomes as silly as
*it is monotonous.
I The comedy with the Situation is
the newest ‘nigh aim. It depends
mi none of the old slapstick hokum.
It tells a story that.is well sustained,
and the fun lies in humorous, lifelike
situations that are funny because
they are so human and ridiculous.
Harold Lloyd introduced this type
(f comatly in "Grandma's Boy."
That it was appreciated was proven
by the acclaim ir received. It was
nothing short of a sensation! Robert
Sherwood, critic of Life, listed it at
rtie head of the twenty best photo
plays of that pear. it has become
the mark for ifti other comedies to
aiin'at.
"The Freshman" aimed at the high
plane of "Grandma's Boy." but is in
no sense like that’classic. The story
is nil affair in which the ambitions
of Harold to become the most pope
lar yourtt in college place him u vic
tim of the machinations of the ooh
ventional college pranksters, and be
fore he is awakened to the fact that
he is being made the. "goaf* he ex
periences some unusually funny and
also some very smypathetic situations,
all of which are intextrieably a part
of the plot.
Supporting Harold Lloyd in "The
Freshman." \rtiieh «*s the feature at
traction Monday and Tuesday at the
Concord Theatre, are Job.vna Ralston,
Hazel Keener. Brooks Benedict, Pat
flurmon ami others.

on a similar charge in Cabarrus Court
last year. The second trial was ne
cessitated by a Supreme Court decis
ion which found error in the judge's
charge to the jury.
Bust contended that he shot Van
dertmrg iu self-defense ns the latter
advanced on him with an axe. The
State contended that Bust shot with
out due deliberation, and that Van
derburg gave him no cause for shoot
ing. A dying statement made by Van
derburg that be "did not know why
Martin shot me" was among the tes
timony offered by the prosecution.
Counsel for Bost pleaded with Judge
Lane for u light sentence, one of the
defense lawyers, J. Lee Crowell con
tending that the fact that Bost and
Uhi futility are separated was on? Rea
son his client was found guilty.
Judge Lane in passing sentence in
timated that he would have given the
defendant a longer sentence were he
not an aged man. Host testified that
he is 65 years of age.
Idle to the ltrominence of the Host
and Vanderbufg fenhilies the ease
aroused unusual interest.
