HOLLYWOOD How should
Lotion picture stars Invest their
question bothers
every celebrity
and has been
intensified
during the re
cent antics of
the stock
market.
Peter Lorre
has a novel
answer.
For 10 years
he has been
buying up the
screen rights of
European novels
and plays until now he na3 accu'
mulated 13 valuable properties. It
was Lorre to whom British-Gau-jnont
had to come when it wanted
to film Joseph Conrad's "Secret
Agent ". The Hungarian actor
jso' holds the rights to "The Good
Soldier Schweik" and "Kaspar
Hauser".
Best part of it is, in every one
of the stories there is a part for
Lorre.
Whether he is finished in
"Jezebel" or not, Henry Fonda will
leave for New York not later than
pec. 14. Star made Warners
agree to this before accepting the
role. Reason Is the Fonda heir is
fiue Dec. 15.
; News story of Danielle Dar
rieux' arrival reported the star as
bringing 47 trunks of Paris clothes.
It is typical of Hollywood, however,
that the actress' wardrobe In her
Universal picture, "The Rage of
Paris", will be entirely of studio
manufacture.
Recent spreads in the picture
magazines in which some of Holly
wood's most dignified stars were
seen disporting in bathing suits has
caused many a shudder among the
cinema great Which may or may
not be responsible for the fact that
it is very hard these days to get
an established actress to pose for
what is known as "leg art".
Among those banning the bath
ing suit pictures are Jeanette Mac
Donald, Wendy Barrie, Frances
Langford, Fay Wray, Patricia
Wilder and (since her marriage)
Anne Shirley.
Will Rogers would have been f8
years old Nov. 3. His bungalow
Et Twentieth Century-Fox has
been left unchanged by Eddie
Cantor and on the anniversary, the
comedian placed a bouquet of roses
on the desk where Rogers wtoU
many a column. Roses were Will's
favorite flowers.
Columnist's mail. ... Dr. J. C.
Geiger, San Francisco's director of
public health, takes us to task for
printing that Michael Whelan's
mother may have contracted
measles from a fan letter. Such
a thing, he says, would be Impos
sible. We merely quoted Dr. C. A.
Seyfarth, of the Twentieth Cen-'
tury-Fox studio, who, incidentally,
still sticks to the opinion. Los
Angeles board of health, however,
thinks it would be very unlikely.
Mrs. John M. Zipp, of Tona
wanda, N. Y., sends list of 98
screen stars and wants their birth
places. ' We must bow out, but '
studios would supply the informa
tion. Photoplay magazine lists
studio affiliations of the players.
Fourteen still pictures from "The
White Angel" are to be Included
in a health textbook now being
authored by Dr. John Guy Fowlkes,
professor at the University of
Wisconiiln, Film was a Kay
Francis vehicle in which she
portrayed Florence Nightingale.
Chatter. . . . Adolphe Menjou
refuses to belleva that "Ine Gold
wyn Follies" are
finally com.
plcted and has
taken out a
$1,500 policy
with Lloyds
covering the ex
penses of his
eastern trip in
case he is called
back for re
takes. Policy is
In effect until
after the Cor
n e 1 1 - P ennsyl
vanla f o o t-
ball game on
Thanksgiving day, which the star
especially wants to attend. . . .
Pauline Garon reports she is
writing a novel about Hollywood.
. . . Wendy Barrie is in Palm
Springs and so is Rudy Vallee. . . .
Can't understand the objections in
some quarters that the Cantor
banquet was a publicity stunt.
Certainly it was, and a very clean
one. Everybody bad a good time
and nobody was charged for the
dinner. ... Bill Fields is heading
for Broadway as soon as he
finishes "The Big Broadcast of
1938". . . . B. P. Schulberg is still
dining Aileen Pringle at the Cafe
Lamaze, . , . And Director Frank
Lloyd is the latest Hollywoodite to
take up racing in a serious way.
He's bought 70 acres of land near
Topango canyon and Is building a
half-mile ucactiev track for his
stable.

J Sometimes I think that anniver-

significance ... in these busy lives
j that most of us seem to live whether
: its in the rush of city existence . . . .
' or the full routine that crowds the
; daily rounds of the small towns and
the rural districts . . . serve as "spir-
ltuai streams in the desert" . . . for
( it we have any appreciation of the
liner things of life . . . we must pause
' and consider the moaning ot me

I change in their sentiment . . . out

Judge Priest
A re-issue of Will Rogers' Great Picture
Thanksgiving is here agatn . .
no matter how we plan to spend
the day . . . whether in the ex
citement of a football game . . .
m a noisy crowd . . . whether
quietly at home with only fam
ily or friends . . . or take a trip
to get away from things . . . we
should carry in our hearts the
same spirit ... that of thank
fulness ... it is queer how hu
man it is to dwell . . . not on the
countless blessings we have . . .
but rather on the things we wish
for . . . and for some reason or
another we are unable to aquire
.... for most of us have much to
inspire gratitude . . . we have only
to look about us . . to realize . .
how much the common things of
life . . . could mean . . , if we were
denied them. . . .
The siu'lteriing warmth of home . .
sufficient clothing . . . food . . driends
. . . family , . . these simple things . . .
alter all hold most of the real joys ol
life .... but only when forced to do
without tlum do we understand
their necessity to our peace of mind
and happiness . . .. and yet the spirit
of the occasion '.'must gi beyond mere
gratitude. . . or the day will not be a
true thanksgiyinig . . . we must give
expression in terms of sharing with
those less fortunate . , . so look about
you ... your burden may be heavy , . .
but there is always something we acn
do lor others . .'.-'don't become e..
grossed in your good dinner . . that
you have no thought of others . .
depression or not . . . ''the poor ye
have with you always . . . so forget
Hot that .perhaps right under your
eyes may be a cold and hungry child, .
Mr. Guy Chambers, president of
the soil conservation association
of Haywood county ... is making
a special appeal to our citizens to
buy from our own farmers . . , as
an example ... he insists that
there is entirely too much mi Ik
shipped into the county .... he
believes . . not only in a "Trade
at Home" campaign for each con
munity . . . but also as a county
wide project ... he claims there i
no milk any better man that pro
duced here in Haywood . . , buy
your milk and dairy products in
Haywood and keen the money in
your county, is his advice to ev
ery one. ...
Briefs . . . .Now that the Ked Cross
roll call . . . for HKJ7 . . is over . . . .
get in line for the next worthy cause
. . . Tuberculosis Christmas Seals . . .
At the very delightful tea given on
Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. K. L.
Prevost . , . the thought came . . how
lucky Mrs. Prevost was in her four
daughters-in-law . . . Dorothy Lane
Prevost, Wilda Crawford Prevost,
Adora Hojtzclaw Provost, ami Patsy
Hill Prevost . . . and then on the other
hand how lortunate were her four
daughters (as she calls them she
never speaks of them as in-laws)
were in having such a Mother-in-law
. . . . How would you like to have
been the younig teacher in the town
ship schools W ho was asked . . . "Now
you aren't really telling me the world
is round ... it ain't so . . . Aly mama
says the Bible tells about the four cor
ners of the earth and that makes it
tint" . . the young teacher drew two
lines . . . one through the middle ol
the other . . she named one end,
.North . . . one South . . . then Kant
and West . . . the child seemed ubout
convinced . . . then she slowly made a
circle about the directions . , . and
doubt clouded his eyes . . . then he
came back . . ..'"Someone told me last
year that there wasn't no sky" ... .
and the teacher responded . . .that
was correct . . . it is only space . . '.
and then With milch resentment the
child said . . . ".Now 1 guess you'll lie
telling, me there ain't no heaven" ... .
t he lesson, period was up . . .1 rather
imagine to the relief of the young
teacher. ...

Whether they no ennything 'bout
the game er not. I understan' thar
was a lot o' bettin in town last
Sat, Funny thing about this bet
tin' bizness is, that if a guy wins
he tells the worl', tut if he loozes
noboddy is enny wi.ier.
Howsumevtr, hits well anuff
that this class o'loozers aint alius
a belly-aiken 'bout their trubbles,;
caze we've got too menny fokes
gruntin' around already with ru
matiz, Indigeschun & so foorth.
Now, Uncle Abe yooce to no a

well anuff to sumtimes vencher a
bet; but he aint so well up on
foot ball. Fact is I don't no nuff
'bout the game to no whitch side ,
is a-beatiri'. I churd, rooted, er
what-chu call it down at Canton
one day rite plum at the rong
time an' the Waynesville fans
lookt daggers at me
"What-chu meen, Unkle Abe
you aint fer the Black bares air
ye?" axt a Waynesville guy.
"No, I jist happend to be look
in' off an' sorter got mixt up," so.
I. But a iter, that I kep my mouth,
shet, until I node the WuynosviUo

So. I think I'll get coach Weath
erby to give me a se-k tit lesson
er 2 jist anufT to no when to
yell for the Waynesvillt' Team.
Then I'll prob'ly no as mutch
'bout the game as sum uv the funs
'round here.
Well, I seed a good picktur
t'other nite "Lost Horizon" hit
wuz called. Got a hole lot out uv
it, mutch as I ever got out o' the
best uv sermjnts an' more than
a feller wood ever git out o' theze .
here 'Vangelisfick sermints so
called, speshly uv the hop-skip an'
jump kind. ,
"Call Me 'Vangelist"
Thars sum places git whir
theze '"Vangelists" can go 'round,
hold their steem-roller meetin's,
git a lot o'fokes keyed up to a hi
pitch uv e-moshun an' git their
munny That's mos'ly in the cot
ton belts heer the foat-hills an'
round the cotton mill towns.
Ever whir theze fellers hold a
"grate meetin' " they ginerly leeve
kwite a few uv their pickturs
in the hans uv the brothters an'"
sisters what idolized 'em nioost,
to be hung up in the livin!-room.
Theze pickturs yoozly show . the
"famus 'Vangelist,"; with hiz wife
an' 2 er 3 kids, jist aiter he yooz
ed the Hi-preshur method at Hol
lertown an' sat the worl' on far,
fer the 43rd time. He ecksplanes
that he wuz utterly eck-zflusted at
the time the picktur wuz took,
caze he hadn't slop mutch in 15
nites prayin' an' worryin' so over
the lost soles uv Hollertown.
An' this re-mines me, Mr. Edi
tur, uv a sertin yung '"Vangelist"
who hell a meetin' in The Bewti
ful 'bout 15 yrs; ago. Well, he
fooled a lot o' folks, Unkle Abe
bein' 1 o' them. He mopt uy here
to the tune uv about $1600. An'
he kontinude to mop up at Silvy,
Bryson Sitty an' othtetr places . .
ontil he got over into Jorgy, 'bout
Clayton, whir he drapt hiz candy"
er sump'in an' had to leeve
town between suns (glory be!)
No, hiz tent didn't fall down like
it- dun here at Waynesville hit
wuz the yung 'Vangelist hizself
what had the fall!
That wuz in the hey-day uv
Steem-Roller 'Vangelism, 15 or 16
yrs. ago. As Unkle Abe thinks
over that "grate Campane" today
the only konsolashun he feels
conies frum the fack that he didn't
set the 'Vangelists picktur upon
the mantil an' haff to soon take
it down an' dump it in the gar
bage can, like a few folks in Way
nesville an' Hazclwood had to do.
Yes, sir-ee, hits a strange ol"
