LIFE IN SMALL TOWN PICTURED AUTHENTICALLY Hill) a atrip of movie lllut back to its .aource and you'll be surprised at 11rt origin. Sometimes It J u iu pa right from some producer's fertile brain, other times It leupa off thu front page of (Quay's newspaper, and then again It snakes out from between the pages of a book. Several months ago George Arthur, a Hollywood producer, wus reading a national picture magazine and he came across a layout on a country editor. It Impressed him. Suddenly hu reulizud the traditional virtues of small town life?uelghborllness, community spirit und Its strength. It prompted him to make a picture about a small town and Parumount's "The Arkansas Traveler," with lk)b Hums starring, not as a clown, but In the serious role of a hobo printer, Is the result. He employed a writer by the iiume of Jack Cunningham, who fashioned a tale about an Itinerant printer. Hums, who drops off a freight train In a typi-1 c.ul small American town, goes to the country editor for a Job, finds his >vidow, Fay Ualnter, trying to catch on, while politicians, l,yle Talbot and l'ortcr Hall, try to wreck the paper oil accuuiil jj? lLa honest policy. Into the tale was woven a ronianco between Jack Real and Jean Parker and a waggish constable's role for lrvln H. Cobb. Next there was the matter of finding a typical American town Every place within l.uOO miles of Hollywood was considered. Finally, taking everything into consideration. it was decided to build a town. Tile site was picturesque. Wooded hills surround it, ami at one end lay placid Mnlibu Lake. Hut it did nestle on the floor of a valley, protected from w a> ward sea breezes. Production started at the opening of a record Southern California heat wave. The valley was stifling and the- temepraJtire mounted to l-f? degrees. The studio ordered a doctor t<o stand by Heat prostrations were feared. To guard against this tbo doctor administered dextrose and sodium chloride at regular intervals to replace body minerals lost through perspirat Ion. Hums caused the doctor a great deal of worry, however. Not only was Hob indifferent to the sodium-dextrose, but at every opportunity he shoved out onto the lako in a rowboat. exposing his base head to the blazing sun. It was his first chance in a long time, he explained, to catch blue gill perch, and he didn't propose to pass it up. He was frequently joined on these trips by Irwin S. Cobb, who explained that natives of Paducah excel even the natives of Van Huron in catching I blue gills. Some of the greatest story-telling | ever heard in these United States was i produced by the association of these two master story tellers during production of the til in Grips, property | men. electricians, and anyone else I al'lc to elbow his way through the i? in le that continually crowded around riie two men in the intervals between scenes, listened to amazing stories j about the foibles and peculiarities of the inhabitants of Paducah and Van Huron Hob h convinced that Cobb had been preparing for the meeting for many months; otherwise ho won id not j have had such a vast fund of stories | about Arkansas, all of them uncompli: !iientar> Hums was well prepared to repay Cobb in kind, however, because I'.ilili >aid i hat he had never before known the depths of Ignorance, folly .111(1 lull k W.l I'd tiess to which the people of Paducah had fallen While Ho!) remains a <itizeti of Arkansas in this film, lie is more truly representative ? f genuine Arkansans than In- i> on tlo- radio, win-re Hurti;da> s a tny'hic.il. laughable chatac ter, which has no basis In Reality.

Between You and Me (By THE SKIPPER) to4eoeo*eoeeeoeee66?eceeee( Lest you forgot, wo nay It yot, "On To Columbia November 11." ? Well, the L>lg game between ClemHon and South Carolina Is over and hm we soil of Indicated, It came out Just as wo thot lt'Svould. Some of the Oamecock followers took solace in that ilnal two touchdown listing of the South Carolina gilddors, but they seem to forget that Clemson was playing second and third string men at ttio time. % Meaning no disrespect to the (lamecocks, we must admit that they were outclassed completely and bud the j Tigers played their regular tlrst stringers, the result would have looked like a table from a U. S. census sheet. One of the Columbia papers carried about six stories on the game, when! one would have told the sail tale just J as well. 1 A Charlotte paper sport columnist [ was so dazed by the affair that ho sol-1 cmiily recorded the fact that Harry Stuhldreher of the Villa Nova team! had scouts in the stadium scouting, for the coming game between Villa I Nova and South Carolina. ? * | For the information of the Charlotte laddie, Harry Stuhldreher left Villa Nova several years ago and Is' now athletic director and football tm ntur at Wisconsin. Welcome to Milt Smith, the new owner and manager of The Kirkwoodj Hotel. Milt Is no stranger to Camden I [people, having managed The Kirk-; wood during the li'37-l'J3S season. In our opinion this young man is a gogetter and w ill probably be a spark | plug for bigger and belter Camden, j ; A little bird tapped tit tin3 window n:;d whispered something about grass gi'fftis tit The K irk wood course We 1'. lifve tin- little bird litis the light d"pe. So with golf on grass greens added to the winter program--well just watch Camden put over a muni-! cipal rendition of "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary." ? And that Isn't all. Milt is going to; make the hotel just as much a gath-| ering place for Camden people as for I the tourists. And just as we finished writing the abovo about Milt Smith, two good j friends dropped Into our sanctum and] introduced us to Paul Moldenhauer,! who has just purchased the Hobklrk j Inn. And we say for Paul all that, we said for Milt. Glad to see you, I fellar, and wish you all the luck in' the world. * Suppose most of you folks have seen the play, "Omar, the Tentma-j ker." I'm going to write a play and title it "Basil, the Peacemaker." Boy,, that chap is a diplomat. ? * * Getting down to municipal stuff?I that wasn't a bad Idea of the city hall j gang in having the piles af grease along the sides of the streets in the downtown district removed.

TO BROADCAST LAST HALF CAMDEN-COLUMBIA GAME Tlu* last half of tho Cam don-Columbia football classic on November 11, will bo broadcast over Station WIS,1 according to announcement made to the Camden News Service, by the radio station executive. A week ago the News Service in a letter to the radio station pointed out the widespread interest that attaches to tho battle between the Caps and the Bulldogs and suggested that a broadcast of the game would be a most popular gesture. Word was received Wednesday that while previous commitments In the matter of commercial broadcasts would not permit of the broadcasting of the game in its entirety, that beginning at 9:30 p. m., the station would broadcast the game by giving a resume of what had happened up to that time and continue with a play by play description until the game's conclusion. The broadcasting of the game will in no way interfere with the attendance of Camden football fans at the game. Elaborate preparations are being made to have a record turnout of Bulldog followers drive to the state capital to root for the gold and black warriors. Many who will find it inconvenient. to make the trip will have an opportunity to listen to the resume and the play by play account of the latter part of the battle over the radio It is estimated that about 7-,Out) wild creatures are killed by automobiles in the I'nited States every day. A new speedometer has been perfected with an illuminated indicator. It shows green for speeds up to thirty miles, amber from thirty to fifty, and brilliant red at speeds any higher.
