"First of all we had the problems of convincing the moviegoers that 'Snow White' was entertaining enough so that they wouldn't mind sitting through an hour and a half or Ahh mated cartoons. Thou when 'Fantasia' caine along, even the studio gang couldn't describe It to anybody. We had to say: 'You'll Just havo to go and see It.' " Now, Disney, with "The Reluctant Dragon," has dipped Into the fea lure "live action" medium. This RKO Radio release Is an actual motion picture to a large extent, although many hilarious sequences are In animation form. It Is undoubtedly the wackiest comedy ever to be turned loose from the Disney plant. Tho figure around whom everything occtirs Is Robert Benchley, playing himself. The locale of the production is DJs:i ney's gay, streamlined new plant In Burbnnk, Calif., which is as fine a1 place for Benchley to get confused in' as there Is. A bunch of Disney's most colorful nrtlsts, of both sexes, also donned makeup for ''The Reluctant Dragon," and play themselves-?which means that, for the last time tonight J audiences at the Haiglur Theatre, where it is playing, can see not only the Disney cartoon characters, but they can watch tho artists actually creating them. changing their positions. This Is caused by the water at the head washing away earth and depositing It at the foot. The inleting point of platinum is r?00 degrees higher than that of steel. Bethune boy Will Appear In This Movie One of the pictures to be shown at the Halglar theater In the near future is that of Parachute lbuaUlon.

There are sixteen members of the parachute troop hailing from the Carollnas, eleven of them being from the Palmetto state. Tho picture was made at Fort Den11 iUK.

Harry Cary and Buddy Ebsen PARACHUTE BATALLION" TO BE 8EEN AT HAIGLAR THEATRE Photographed for tho first time on tho screen. Uncle Sam's new parachute corps, housed st Fort Denning, Georgia, becomes tho novel and exciting background for tho thrilling now picture "Parachute Batalllon," which is 011 tho program at Haiglaj* Theatre \ next Monday and Tuesday. The story, prepared by John Twist ! and Cuptaln John H. Fite, U. S. Air j Corps, presents as stars. Robert Preston, Nancy Kelley, Edmond O'Brien , and Harry Carey, plus featured players Buddy Ebsen, Paul Kelly, Richard Cromwell and Robert Barrat, in the adventures of several young men from various walks of life, from the day of their enlistment to the fateful moment when they must take that first long Jump from a transport plane. The training routines, courses of Instruction In properly packing the parachutes so they will be Bure to open, the technique of landing without injury and "dish-ragging" the parachute so it will not drag the soldier over the ground, the proper way to jump from a ship, the use of the emergency paracihute In case the main shute falls to function?all these high-j !y interesting steps are revealed as the story progresses. j Complete authenticity was assured by securing the cooperation of the Army authorities, who not only permitted tho production stafT to record actual scenes at Fort Denning but also assigned Captain William Ryder as technical supervisor over the studio-made sequences. Although the parachute corps is hht( 1 to have originated in the United Slates, being advocated years ago by General Billy Mitchell, it was not until the adoption of this novel offense maneuver by other countries that its development was begun in earnest by Uncle Sam's military leaders. Consequently, the corps is a recent addition to our armed forces and equally new as dramatic screen material. In addition to Its authentic pre-! sentatlon "I'arachute Batalllon" re-1 veals the Inner emotions of the char-( acters, the conquest by one boy of his own fear through the love of a girl, and many moments of delightful hu nior.

Camden Footballers At Sumter Tonight (Continued rrom first page) the receiving end with glue on his tinger tips. The first score of tho game came midway in the first quarter when alter Sowell, Tindal and Mullen had carried the ball from their own 45 to the one and a half yard line of tho visitors, Tindal roared over for a touchdown. A quick pass from Tindal to Sowell added the extra point. A few minutes later Whitaker recovered a Camden punt dropped by an invader and legged it for pay dirt. The effort at conversion failed when Mullen's buck was slopped. In the third quarter Whitaker took one of Tindal's passes and raced to the 2 yard lino after Sheorn had made 15 yards on a previous toss from Tindal. With the ball on the two yard stripe, Tindal went over on the next play. The conversion was made by Sheorn. It) the third period the final touchdown came when after a series of ground-gaining passes by Tindal, Mullen went over. Tindal again carried the mail to add the extra point. In the fourth quarter there was no scoring. The Camden coaches took advantage of the 27 to 0 lead to give the reserves a chance to strut their stuff and they held tho B-C. outfit safely. Regarding the game tonight, Camden will find the Clamecocks a tough dish. Sumter's win over the highlytouted Rock Hill eleven will give the Gamecocks a world of confidence. However, we are going out on a limb to predict a Ruildog victory by a two touchdown margin. Hut remember you fans, the Bulldogs will need your support. Make your plans to join in the invasion of tho Gamecock city tonight. Join the band and help Camden to a win. History of Quaker Cemetery ' 1? " __ _ . ' ' n H ? Sadie K. von Tresckow ? I V--* f.
