"LADIES IN RETIREMENT"
GREAT SCREEN DRAMA
"Ladles In Retirement", the turbulent
drama which was a Broadway
and London stage success, opened
yestorduy at the Hulglar Theatre with
Ida Luplno and Lftuis Ilayward giving
the greatest performances of their
screen careers in roles wnose matchless
Intensity have rarely been equalled
before the cameras.
Nor are the stars alone in their
superb performances A brilllan supporting
cast Includes Evelyn Keyes,
Lisa Lanchester, Edith Barrett and
Isobel Elsom. Chwles Vldor'a masterful
direction adds suspenseful entertainment
value to the new Columbia
film, which wns produced by1
Lester Cowan and Gilbert Miller.
Miss Luplno appears, In "Ladles In
Retirement", as the lovely, lonely
companion to a retired actress. The
girl's devoted care ut her two elder |
sisters, her determination to provide
them sanctuary nad protection, keynotes
the gripping narrative. Hayward
1h cast as a likeable knave of
no principles, who does not hesitate
to employ blackmail or other villainy.
The relentless conflict between the
two?husband and wife in real life?
Is a major motif in the Columbia
drama.
" Where the famous ''pixilated sisters"
of "Mr. Deeds (Joes to Town"
won screen renown, a few years ago,
the light headed sisters portrayed by
Miss Lanchester and Miss Barrett are
certain to achieve even greater acclaim.
The former, a well-known
character actress, and the latter, a
Broadway star making her motion
picture debut, brings to the screen a
mirthful pair of sisters whose vagaries
not only contribute refreshing
merriment to the story but supply
it, as well, with a brooding mystic
i Intensity which superbly matches the
fog-bound marshland and fore-boding
Interiors against which the strange,
Huspenseful story is told. The superb
photography ol Georgi liurnea contributes
greatly in establishing this
mood.
The lovely young heroine Of Columbia's
"Here Comes Mr. Jordan."
Evelyn Keyes moves another step
closer to her richly deserved stardom.
Her performance, as the
romantically-inclined maid with a
weakness for handsome, unprincipled
strangers, Is a contribution of vulue
to the rich film fare currently at the
Haiglar Theatre. Similarly to be
praised is Isobel Elsom, who portrays
the illfated actress who, like her
maid, has a weakness for rascals.
The screen version of "Ladies in
Retirement" is well worth seeing.

Health and Welfare
In National Defense
I * ?
Friday, November H, la Health and
Welfare Day. Men and moral are the
bulwark of defense. Millions of loyal
and putrlotlc American* want to know
what they tan do to make tlieae buL|
warka stronger. The answer to this
is that wo can make America Strong
by making Americana stronger.
Nutrition and heulth uro tho foundation
on which we must start.
America 1h doubtless tho best fed
nation on earth but every American
is not well fed. More than one third
of the men rejected as physically unfit
for selective service had defects
due directly or Indirectly to nutritional
deflclences.
Farm people must produce moro
food, especially the protective foods
like milk. eggs, vegetables, cereals,
and fruits.
People living in towns and with
limited Incomes must know how to
buy to get the ffreatost benefit lu
health for their food dollar. If you
do not know about this you can
securo this. Information from the
County Health Department, Extension
Service or from your Load Defense
Council.
Building strong bodies is the
primary responsibility of the individual
but community services help by
safe-guarding basic health. These
services Insure Inspection of milk
supplies and Insures cleanliness in
tho handling and distributing food.
It provides adequate sewerage and
sanitary facilities, pure drinking water,
adequate hospital facilities, and
prevents the spread of contagious diseases.
At present the defense situation is
making new and serious demands.
Doctors and nurses are being called
into active service. There Is not time
to train enough professional peoplo.
Here is a great opportunity for
volunteer service. Outstanding among
i the opportunity for preparing for
service In this county now are the
First Aid Classes which have been
and are being conducted in towns
and 17 rural communities.
Soldier centers have been established
throughout each town in the
county and both rural and town people
have been most generous in
opening their homes to soldiers during
the maneuvers.
Recreation is a vital factor and
don't underestimate It. Don't think
that health and welfare make no dlfI
ference. Look at England who Is
really up against the guns of war.
The English are a race of men and
women used to playing games; to
giving and taking; to fighting on
when the end is unpredictable. When
their critical moment came they faced
it as only a free people imbued with
the spirit of fair play can.
Anyone who has skill and can impart
it to others can be a successful
recreation lender. Just as the homemaker
or the specialist in nutrition
could turn to the Nutrition Committee
of the local Defense Council
so the person who can render these
services in recreation can sign up
with Recreational Committee of that
Cou ncll.
There is a job for everyone. There
Ik a need for people to Inform themselves
and select the Job they tan
best do and do this In preparation of
the critical days to come. Health and
welfare are merely two of the many
vital sectors along the fighting front
of defense; we are preparing to
defend our homes and families and it
is tho privilege and duty of every
loyal and patriotic citizen to see that
the welfare and health of these
homes and families is preserved.?
Margaret B. Fewell.
HAIGLAR ? Monday and Tuesday
Ida Lupino and Louis Hayward are co-starred at the Halglar Theatre in
Columbia's turbulent ''Ladles In Retirement", which is based upon the
sensational Broadway stage success. A fascinating drama of strange desires,
"Ladies in Retirement" was directed by Charles Vidor. in its cast are
Evelyn Keyes, Elsa Lanchester, Edith and Isobel Elsom.
Waphliigton, D. C., Qetober 81. Iho
House this wook has b^en doing nothing
much but attending to routine
matters and committee meeting#. The
bill which paused the Houso about two'
weeks ago to arm oyi* merchant ahlpe
has been debated In the 8enate all
this week. The debate there will
probably last a week lougor. It seems
that the Senate will amend the bill in
several particulars and, it so, it will
have to go to free conference. The
free conference report will then come
back to the House and Senate for
adoption.
Word has JuiSt como ip that the
Reuben James, a U. S. Destroyer, wtfB
sunk last night west of Iceland, and
apprehension .grew In Washington as
hours passed with no word of the fate!
of the crew of 6 officers and 114 men.
This is the second U. S. Destroyer hit
by German torpedoes in the last two
weeks. It will be remembered that
the Destroyer Kearny was hit by a
torpedo, but not sunk, on October 16.
Naturally, the attack on these United
States war ships increased the tenseness
of the atmosphere here. It is
impossible to forecast what the future
will hold for the United States?war
or peace. We hope it will not be
war, but are getting ready for anything
that may happen. Every one
seems to think that our defense forces
are doing a pretty good Job in their
efforts to get ready. The Navy Building
Program is far ahead of schedule,
defense production Is ahead of schedule
in many instance*, airplane production
has reached 2,000 planes per
month, and the Army Training Program
is doing as well as cpuld be expected.

Tuesday (October 28) was the 55th
anniversary of the unveiling of the
Statue of Liberty on Bedloes Island
in New York Harbor. There are many
citizens still living who remember the
occasion with an enthusiasm by no
means dimmed by time, the occasion
was possessed of those qualities
which entitle great events to enduring
recollection.
Yet the story of this notably famous j
example of the modelers art Is but
Imperfectly known to the American
people. The whoie tremendous enterprise,
as It happens, developed from a
casual ^conversation at a dinner party
at Gavigny near Versailles in 1865.
One of the guests had remarked that
such a thing as national gratitude
could not exist. The United States, it,
was suggested, probably no longer recalled
with appreciation the assistance
given by France in the thirteen .
rebellious colonies in 1776.
To the skepticism thus expressed,
Edouard Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye,,
a distinguished jurist and historian,:
now undeservedly forgotten, opposed
a practial resistance. In brief, he pro-1
posed that the American Nation'
should be presented with a gift which ,
should constitute a reminder of its,
ties with the country from which,
Lafayette, Rochambeau and De1
Grasse had come. The plan took de-,
finite form with the founding of the j
French-American Union in 1874. j
Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, a sculptor j
of genius then in his prime, began his'
labors on the colossal figure of the
Goddess of Freedom during the following-year.
The finished work was |
turned over to the United States on,
July 4, 1884. j
The Statue weighs 450,000 pounds.
(225 tons); the copper alone weighs
200.000 pounds and is 3-32 of an inch
thick; 40 persons can stand in the
head. The public is not admitted to
the torch. The number of steps in
the Statue from the top of the pedes- y
tal to the head is 168; the number of ||
rungs in the ladder In the uplifted j
right arm, 54. The pedestal of the'
Statue 1s 89 feet in height and 62 feet j
at the base. Liberty carries In her i
left arm, pressed against her side, -a |
book representnlg the law, which has j
on It the date, in block letters, (July j
4, 1776), and meaning Liberty based 11
on law. The Statue Is visited by |
400,000 visitors in a year. ji
The Irony and tragedy of it all is j
that now France, sometimes called
the cradle of liberty, is under the
heels {>f Hitler.' The fact that France,
a longtime democarcy, made such a
weak fight against the dictators
brings up the question of whether or
not a democracy can effectually wage
war against a dictator who has
supreme power over every one and
every activity in a nation. I still believe
that a democracy, whose citizens
are willing to cooperate, will fight
better and longer than any dictatorship
on earth. The trouble with
France was that the French people
had grown soft through the benefits
Df democracy and simply quit. This,
of course, wai partly due to the subversive
elements that undermine the
morale of the French people. We
should learn our lesson from France
and ruthlessly stamp out the elements
in our country who have no '
love for it and are unwilling to sacrifice
for the United States. I am
afraid our people do not reaHxe even
now the great sacrifice that every
strata of American life will be called
upon in the near future to endure.

Things have
changed a lot in
25 years?yet there is much
that is the same.
In 1916 it was Preparedness;
in 1941, National Defense.
But now the scale is
. ._. fau
bigger, the pac$ is faster.
There was pressure on the
telephone business then. The
.-pressure is infinitely greater
now.. Nejv training camps;
new aviation fields; new munition
plants; new shipyards
and many other defense industries,
all need telephones.
Everyone is moving faster.. *
and, when a nation hurries,
it does so by telephone.
Southern Bell spent about
$4,600,000 on new construction
in 1916. It is spending
over $51,000,000 in 1941.
The entire Southern Bell
organization serving nine
Southern states, is giving
"first call" to Defense. We
believe you would want it
that way.
