Thompson had other ideas, In the sixth round, he let go a right cross with everything he had, hit Sam on the chin, iA zed him, and almost i knocked him out. of . ~~ When they came up for the seventh round, Langford thrust \ out his gloved right hand, and said "Shake hands." Replied Thompson, surprised: "This ain't the last round, Sam." : "It is for you," 'answered Sam grimly. And so it was. Langford was boxing fin St Louls, one night, and his opponent's handlers thought to make him nervous by delaying the epitry of their boxer into the ring. Sam'sat on his ring = chair for nearly half an hour, before his opponent. arrived. ¥ When the usual preliminaries had been settled and the timer was about to ring the bell, Sam stepped to, the side. of the ring, held up his Sloved fist, The surprised crowd fell silent.' Announced Langford: "You'll pardon me, gentlemen, had I make this fight short. 1 have to catch a train." Z 1. Then, with one punch, he laid his opponent low. a on : | - Plain Horse Sense.. \ Judging by 'the editorials and tecting hands of government be : f x. after-dinner speeches reported in taken not only off - agriculture --{- the daily press, the offensive but also off industry, and that » against "orderly marketing" of the grip of the hands of trusts, : agricultural products is gather cartels and combines on "free en- ¢ --ing momentum. - | terprise" be loosened. | "Hands off free enterprise" is .

Address your letters to Bob Ellis, Box 1, za . 18th Street, New Toronto, nt. : Y a, from "seript." more about what a camera could Just ag I-arrived Hollywood 'was i by lightning. The "talking picture" had just come in and from the very first it be- came clear that the day-of the silent picture was over. This was a dreadful blow to all of the.big companies, especially to Fox-- who had contracts with a num- ber of popular stars that they had valued in the millions. That these 'great box office pames should fail them had never seem- ed possible, but unfortunately you can't very well make a good talking picture with i, actor who can't talk , They tried everything, - even importing a famous engineer from the Gene- ral Electric laboratory in Sche- nectady, who attempted to paint with a camel"s hair brush, on the sound track, something that would resemble the human voice. but that did not sound sq good. Next they tried sénding their stars to school, but going to school 'is -something .that gives its best results when started at. an early age, and they hadn't started soon enough. Holly- wood lost many of its stars be- fore the talking picture was any- where as near to being an art as the best of the silent pictures had grown to be. Will Rogers was a little upset over all this fuss. -He was really a modest fellow: and the shyness that co endeared him to his audiences in the days when he was twirling his rope in his vaudeville act was a, perfectly --natural expression of his char- acter. Mrs, Davis and I had met him_in New York and in Lon- don, but it wasn't until I worked with him in Hollywood that I really hegan to know him. I would say that above every- thing else, Will was a wise man, if wisdom means what I: have always thought .it. does. To me wisdom isn't something to be learned from books, it comes contacts with life,- con- tacts' made by, 'one who has the gift of observation and the good gense of being able to separate the. wheat from the chaff." 1 think,' for example, that a wise . man never sits down but' once on a hot stove, while the fool keeps on trying it. I have heard Will described as shrewd, but that' is another word that often needs defining--shrewd is often _ - used in the place-of mean, and 'Will Rogers was never that, We decided that the first Will Ro- gers talking picture was to be "They Had to See Paris," based on 1 very amusing novel by Homer Croy. The fate of this picture was very important to all' of us and I asked the Fox people to call in Sonia Lavin assure us of a perfect "nod Sonia Lavine new do than I ever had found out, and with her help I wrote what ° turned out to be much the best of all the Will Rogers pictures. The Homer Croy novel was real- ly good, and Will's part was ab- solutely right. He was a very simple and honest actor and gave a really fine performance. Frank Borzage's direction was splen- did and "They Had to See Paris" was much the best picture I have ever written.--From "My_: First Fifty: Years. in the Theatre" by Owen Davis.

How: High The Kilt? -- It's too chilly in most places for Bermuda shorts these days, so some of the boys are considering kilts as an antifreeze measure. But what's the proper length? One authority says-a kilt should be three inches from the floor when the wearer is kneeling. So here's kilted and comely Janet Burrell checking the 'length of Trig Carter's kilt. Looking on is Lois Gifford, executive of a men's underwear firm who naturally is * vitally concerned with- what a Scotsman wears under the kilt. - "Well! said father to little Tommy, "how did you like the circus?" "It was good," Tommy replied, "but I didn't think much of the man who threw knives at the woman." {Ee - "Why?" Te] 'He missed -her at Ll Up To Par Again -- When Singer Jane Froman . was horribly smashed up in a Lisbon plane crash in 1943, she thought she'd never walk again, much less play golf. But here she is, driv- ing off with her badly scarred right arm and metal-braced right leg-apparently unable to stymie her skill and spirit. Mapping The Bottom Of The Atlantic It became a matter of immense importance to know, not only the depth of the sea over the whole line along which the (trans- At- lantic) cable was to be laid, but the exact nature of the bottom, 80 as to guard against chances of cutting or fraying the strands of that costly rope, The Admiralty. consequently ordered Captain Dayman, an old friend and ship- mate of mine, to ascertain the depth over the whole line of the .cable, and to bring back speci- mens of the bottom. ... ' In the months of June and July, 1857, my friend performed the task. . . The result of all these opera- tions is, that we know the con- tours and nature -of the sur- ~face-soil covered by the North Atlantic for a distance of 1,700 ~miles from east to west, as well as we know that of any part of the dry land. It is .a prodigious plain -- one of the widest and most even plains in the world. If the sea were drained off, 'you might drive a. wagon all the way from Valentina, on the west coast of Ireland, to Trinity Bay in Newfoundland. And except upon one sharp incline about 22 miles from Valentina, I am not sure that it would even be ne- cessary to -put the skid on, so gentle are the ascents and des-, cents upon that long route From Valentina the road would lie down: hill for about 200 miles to the point at which the bottom is now covered: by 1,700 fathoms of "sea-water. Then would come the central plain, more than a thousand miles wide, the ine- 'qualities of the surface of which would be hardly perceptible, though the depths of the water upon it now varies from 10,000 to 15,000 feet; and there are = places where Mont Blanc might be sunk without showing its peak above water. Beyond this, the ascent on the American side commences, and gradually leads, for about 300 miles, to the New- foundland shore. -- From, "On & Piece of Chalk," by Thomas Huxley, 1870. |) CUNARD TO EUROPE FALL AND WINTER SAILINGS 10 BRITISH PORTS: "First Class from $192 Tourist Class from $1 $140 At Thrift-Season Rates TO FRENCH PORTS: First Class from $199.50 Tourist Class from $145 VESSEL From MONTREAL From QUEBEC TO , ASCANIA ~ SCYTHIA FRANCONIA ASCANIA Sat. *SCYTHIA Wed. ocr, 28 Wed."
