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

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.

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

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.

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
