It all happened when Mr. Fulton Oursley, managing editor of Liberty Magazine, began to discuss mystery (stories with thj President in the White House some months ago, fctr Mr. Roosevelt, like President Wilson and other great heads of the Republic before him, is a lover of detective fiction. The President said to Mr. Oursler that the kind of a mystery story that he held in the back of his mind was one based along these lines: “Can a man, who has achieved great wealth, disappear completely in a successful attempt to “get away from it all?” The Presidfent told Mr. Oursler that he, himself, had yet found no solution to his story, and when the Liberty editor pro posed to allow the six most famous 1 authors in the land to develop this I story for his magazine, Mr. Roose velt consented. The President’s hero, too, has an ambition. In his new identity he strives to make a poor, workless community live again and its people to prosper. Such literary giants as Rupert Hughes, Samual Hopkins Adamjs, Anthony Abtxt':. Rita Weiman, S. S. Van Dine and John Erskinewere secured to write the President’s story for the Liberty, and the dis tinction of bringing it to the screen was accorded to Republic Pictures. Henry Wilcoxon, the star of De- Mille’s “Crusades,” Cleopatra,” and other hits, was selected to por tray the President’s hero in the film which also includes in its cast charming Betty Furness, |S!ic&iey Blackmer, Evelyn Brent and other notables of screendom. o |Autry Introduces Two New Songs In “The Old Corral” “The Old Corral” to Play Here Friday and Saturday At Dolly Madison Two new songs by Gene Autry, composer of more than 300 cowboy ballads, two operatic arias by Hoep Manning, feminine lead, a reper toire of songs and music by Sons of the Pioneer, and an eccentric musical number by Smiley Burnette who plays five instruments at the same time, comprise lyrical melody contribution to Republic’s “The Old Corral”. The latest Autry musical which opens Friday at the Dolly Madison Theatre, features a clash between Western deputies and a gang of Eastern gun-men with an exciting cross country bus and automobile race adding to the general interest. “Th Old Corral” and “Old Pinto” are the new Autry numbers. The five members of the Sons of the Pioneers sing and play “Silent Trails.” Hope Manning, who recently signed a long term contract with Republic, sings operatic songs from her repertoire of classical numbers in which she has been featured for the past three years. Smiley Burnett© manages to get rhythm and melody simultaneously from an accordion, a xylophone, harmonica, tambourine and casta nets. Directed by Joseph Kane the picture also features Lon Chaney PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N.
