Which1 will be news to lots of people Who think stage folk never make obei-) sance to the -domestic gods, but mar ry merely prepare tor the publicity; that so often surrounds -a theatrical j divorce. Of course there are divorces, di,;-! agreements and disastrous marriages! amongst the people of the theatre, j But not, they will hasten to inform' you, in greater numbers than amort j members of any other profession or career. For, they argue, in whatj other walk of life would you find a handsome worn < i walking away; from the chance of a lifetime in or-! der to be frith a man, when that man is her husband. That is just! one of the things that isn't done in Oolite circles, but in the theatre, well! —that's another and a nicer story. The stage abounds with happy couples like pretty Edna Best, who walked off the Hollywood lot and look the first train East to hand ome Herbert Marshall, from whom he couldn’t just bear to be sep i ated lor more than three week leal love is like that and that's the iraud of love with which the stage almunds. It’s easy to imagine Bill Brady grunting his satisfaction when he read the' Edna Best story, even if he did derert a job. For William A Brady and his wife, Grace George, art' among the happiest and most devoted of Stage couples. They con-* suit each other In everything and neither would dreatn of doing any theatrical work without co-operr.Ain from each other. And Bill Brady, jr„ and Katherine Alexander bid fair to emulate the example of the older Brady*. And then there Is the do mestic saga*of exotic Eugenie Leon ‘ovltch and her husband, Gregory Ratoff The actress Is starrfeig in "Orand Hotel” in New York. Her husband Is appearing in Chicago, And so tjach Saturday night the two take the train and meet in Pitts burgh where they spend Sunday to gether.

Another divinely happy couple is dune Walker and Geoffry Kerr. Ti'-w always try to secure engage tneutt together and one sees them always in restaurants or clubs, tre mendously engrossed in each other. Then there's glamorous Claudette Colbert end Norman Poster, two of the cleverest young people Of the theatre when the movies claimed Claudette sh<' persuaded Paramount to give her hut band a contract, too so that they could be together even on the lot. Is that wifely devotion or hot? It has often been said that being ilfcther continuously destroys the 'elicuie fabric that Is marriage.

Weathers. The coming summer will mark i another year of Citizens’ military J training camps. All indications point j to a greater number of American boys enrolling than ever before. Last] year in the fourth corps area, com- j prising the southeastern states, more than double the number applied than could be taken care of Al ready applications are coming in fast, and the policy of “first come, first served," makes it necessary for those who wish to take advantage of the government’s splendid offer to get busy at once. Any boy who will be 17 years old by the opening date, June 12, 1931, Ls eligible to go to camp. He must be physically fit. of good character, and an American citizen. A physical ex amination, vaccination against small-pox and typhoid fever, and a certificate of good moral character are required on the application blank of candidates. The United States government will pay all necessary expenses, including the trip to and from camp, laundry, and any necessary medical care Hie necessary uniforms will be furnish ed while at camp, three wholesome meals a day, comfortable bedding and quarters in a concrete floored tent. The purpose of the camps is to train good healthy Americans to carry on the nation's work and per petuate it's institutions; develop young men who will hold their heads high and take honored places in the community and who will spread the doctrine of healthy, democratic Am ereanism by their daily lives. The motto “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is not forgot - ten. In addition to the morning per iods of study and drill, the after noons, in the basic or first year course particularly, are devoted to supervised athletics, such as base ball, basketball, tennis, track and other outdoor sports. Swimming, with the Red Cross life saving course is open to all. In the evenings the “talkies,’’ sings and stunt programs, dances, concerts, boxing matches, and many other forms of amuse ments serve to bring the day to n happy conclusion. No formations are scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday afternoons or Sundays, except the church parade on Sun oi a couple who have walked the road of life together and found the going all the pleasanter for each other’s companionship. Then, too, there are the Cobums who have worked together and been happily married for, lo, these many years. Recently Victor Moore, the come dian. and his wife, Emma Little field, celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. They, too, have always appears In vaudeville together until quite recently. And then there’s Mr. and Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld. Mrs. Flo the winsome Billie Burke, has found her greatest happiness in the com panionship of Flo and their daugh ter, Patrica. To see them all to gether at the Ziegfeld home at Hastlngs-on-the-Hudfon is to know that theatrical people have found the key to domestic happiness. Theatrical divorces may be news but I happiness in the theatre world is eerie Inly no novelty. day morning when services for those of the various denominations are held. Sightseeing trips, fishing ex cursions and similar diversions are arranged on these afternoons when possible by the camp recreation of ficer. There is plenty of fun and play in the camps, but there is no place for shirgers or "mollycoddle:..” Scholarships in schools and colleg es are given by institutions to train ees making the best showing In camps. Any high school In North Carolina or South Carolina is au thorized by the state board of edu cation to give credit toward gradu ation for attendance at these camps Graduates of the blue or fourth year course after satisfying certain other requirements may be appoint ed as second lieutenants in the or ganized reserve component of the U. S army, if they desire it. Here, as throughout the whole C M. T. C. system, there is absolutely no obli gation to future military service of any kind, more than that which any male citizen of the U. S. has as his privilege and duty to his country. In 1930 the following young men of Cleveland county attended the camp at Fort Bragg, North Caro lina. Marvin T. Brittain, Casur; Roy F.
