Pull the Trigger on Constipation, and Pepsin-izeAcidStomachToo When constipation brings on add indi gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your stomach is probably loaded up with cer tain undigested food and your bowels don’t move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be ■ire your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps-you gain that won- derful stomach com fort, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may linger In your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin- iring your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin icky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

'Listen, My Children, and You Shall Hear': Story of the Long-Delayed Start of a New Ride by Paul Revere CYRUS E. DALLIN, famous sculptor, and the plaster model of the equestrian statue of Paul Revere which the George Robert White Fund trustees, headed by Mayor Tobin of Boston, have commissioned him to execute in bronze at a cost of $27,500. The statue will be erected in Paul Revere Mall in the north end of Boston, close to the home of the Revolu tionary patriot. By ELMO SCOTT WATSON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) L ISTEN, my children, and you shall hear . . . —' No, not the familiar story of the “Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” It’s the story of another ride by that immortal horseman— a ride that should have start ed more than 50 years ago, but didn’t. Here’s why: Back in 1884, on the eve of the 150th anniversary of Paul Re- vere’s birth, a movement was started in Boston to erect a statue to the Revolutionary patriot at a cost of $25,000. The city council indorsed the plan and appropri ated $5,000 as its share of the cost, the remainder of which was to be raised by public subscrip tion. Furthermore, the city fa thers passed an order, authoriz ing the use of Copley square as the site for the proposed me morial. Next a committee was formed to have charge of the project and this committee issued circu lars inviting sculptors to submit models for the statue. It made no suggestion as to the character of the design but offered to pay $300 each for the three best stud ies. Eight of ten models were sub mitted by sculptors from all parts of the country, all of them, of course, anonymously. From these models the committee selected three—those sent in by Daniel Chester French, who had made the famous “Minute Man” erect ed on the site of the battle of Con cord; by Thomas Ball, who was the sculptor of the statue of Wash ington which stands in the Public Garden in Boston; and by a cer tain “Charles E. Dillon of Utah,” who was unknown to the commit tee. A Young Westerner. After long deliberation the com mittee unanimously decided to accept for the statue the design by this “Charles E. Dillon” and THE MINUTE MAN Statue by Daniel Chester French on the site of the Battle of Concord. it was soon announced in the newspapers. Then it was dis covered that they had misspelled the name of the winner! His right name was Cyrus E. Dallin, a young fellow of 23, who had been born in Utah and had arrived in Boston four years before, penni less, lonely and bewildered be cause he had never been in a big city before. His first work was in a terra cotta factory and, while working there, he had made an ornament for Mechanics hall. It was the seal of the Massachusetts Chari table Mechanics association and it consisted of an upraised human arm which young Dallin had modeled after the upraised arm of a young Indian, one of a dele gation en route to Washington to see the “Great White Father,” whom he had met on the train and with whom he had talked in the sign language. “That arm is still there in Me chanics hall. I like to go around and look at it now and then,” the 78-year-old sculptor of today will tell you with a smile. “I got the magnificent sum of two dollars for doing that seal. That two dollars looked like $2,000 to me at that time—and it doesn’t look so small, even now, at times.” It is easy to imagine the young sculptor’s thrill when he learned that he had won the Paul Re vere competition. Returning to his small studio he found a card under the door. On it was writ ten: “Dear Dallin: I came up to congratulate you on your well- deserved victory.—Daniel Ches ter French.” Says Mr. Dallin: “That was the kind of greatness that Daniel Chester French had in him! No wonder that he could comprehend and interpret the great and gen erous Lincoln as understandingly as he did in that Washington Me morial marble of the Great Emancipator. “From that day until his death, a few years ago, French and I were close friends. I have al ways noted in life that the bigger a man is, the more generous he is toward others. There is_ no feeling of jealousy in a great man. He is too sure of him self to fear others in his own profession. When a man is jeal ous of another man in his own profession it is an open confes sion that he is not sure of himself and his own powers.” Soon after Dallin was an nounced as the winner of the Paul Revere competition, the city of Boston gave him a contract to make the bronze statue. Then un expected difficulties arose, due to the jealousy of an artist whose son had been unsuccessful ‘in the competition. He started a con troversy in the Boston papers by charging that Dallin’s model was historically inaccurate. Although other artists rallied to the de fense of the young Westerner, the dispute grew so hot that the committee decided to hold a sec ond competition. Dallin Wins Again. French entered it again, as did Thomas Ball, sculptor of a statue ^jf -Lincoln in “The Emancipa tion Group,” the original of which is in Washington and a copy in Boston. But again Dallin was the winner and again the generous French sent him a note: “Dal lin, you’ve beat us again. You’re far and away ahead of the rest of us!” Jubilant over his success, Dal lin returned to his home in Utah, there, as he says, “to celebrate my victory and to bask in the sunlight of the approval of my parents and friends.” But he soon learned that the celebration was a bit premature. He returned to Boston in the spring of 1885 to complete the statue. He was called to the may or’s office and again a contract Paul Rides Again to Summon Legionnaires BOSTON. — Paul Revere rides again on the 165th anni versary morn of the “nine teenth of April, ’75”—but this year the galloping tradition of Paul Revere will not halt at Lexington’s battle-green or Concord’s bridge. This year he’ll go careening on across the continent to rally another army of patriots from a wider nation that stretches to Rio Grande valley and Oregon farms. This year the annual national convention of the American Legion meets for the second time in historic Boston. The dates are September 22 to 26. Paul Revere’s is the figure that adorns the bronze of the Legion’s twenty-second con vention medal. He is the rous ing spirit of the Bay State Le gionnaire organization at na tional convention headquar ters, 8 Beacon street, now go ing full tilt on its mission to make this return-visit of their land, sea, and air-force com rades from every state and United States possession, the greatest patriotic pilgrimage to the “Cradle of Liberty” this land has ever seen. The Le gion’s 1940 war-cry, “Keep Out and Keep Ready,” will be, they say, “the shout heard ’round the world.” was signed. But when the com mittee tried to raise the money for the statue by popular sub scription, it found that the con troversy, which Dallin’s rival art ist had stirred up, had made many people hostile to the proj ect. Within a short time it became evident that the public had lost interest in the project. Subscrip tions to the fund came in so slow ly that it was doubtful if the sum required for the statue could ever be raised. Swallowing his disappointment as best he could, the young sculptor started on an other project. Remembering the Indians whom he had known in the West, Dallin designed the figure of an Indian, standing on the skeleton of a buffalo and shooting an ar row into the air. He exhibited it in New York in 1888 and it won the gold medal of the American Art Exhibit. This new triumph had an un expected result. A wealthy Bos ton woman who sympathized with the young sculptor over his diffi culties in the Paul Revere com petition offered to provide the money for him to study in Par is. Thus, out of what had seemed to be a major tragedy to an am bitious young sculptor, came his great opportunity and he eagerly accepted it. Soon after he arrived in Paris Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show ar rived there and Rosa Bonheur, the famous woman painter, took ad vantage of the opportunity to paint the American horses and their Indian riders. One of her favorite models was old Chief Rocky Bear. He Meets Rosa Bonheur. One day Dallin saw her at work on a painting of Rocky Bear. It inspired him to become a sculp tor of Indians and horses and from that inspiration came the idea of the Indian equestrian groups which are to be found in several American cities. The first of these was the familiar “The Signal of Peace.” The next was “The Medicine Man” in Phila delphia and the next “The Appeal to the Great Spirit” which stands in front of the Boston museum. Since that time Dallin has pro duced many other famous stat ues—“The Scout” in Penn Valley park in Kansas City; “Massa- soit” in Plymouth, Mass.; “Anne Hutchinson” which stands in front of the state house in Boston; and his famous tribute to the Ameri can soldiers taken prisoners by the enemy during the World war —the statue which he called “Captured But Not Conquered.” He also did the Pioneer monu ment in Salt Lake City and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ monument in Syracuse, N. Y. For Cyrus Dallin is now one of America’s best-known sculp tors. But it is probable that, for all the honors that have come to him, he will take more pride in his masterpiece, which is to stand in Paul Revere Mall in Boston. It is the spirited statue of that famous midnight rider, reining in his equally famous horse as he pauses to shout his warning, “The British are com ing!” A few weeks ago it was an nounced that the trustees of the Robert White fund, headed by Mayor Tobin of Boston, had com missioned him to execute in bronze, at a cost of $27,500, the design which was selected away back in the eighties. So, after half a century, Cyrus Dallin, the unknown young sculptor who had come out of the West, is vindicat ed, and an undeserved stigma has been removed from his fame as an artist. And, after a long delay, Paul Revere will soon start on another ride! By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) f f "O EBECCA” was released at last, a few weeks ago, and people are still arguing about it; the chances are that the arguments will continue for a long, long time. For it’s one of those cases of “If you liked the book you probably won’t like the picture.” That’s unfortunate, because the picture is superb. Hitch cock, the top-notch English director, handled it unusually well. Technically, it could hardly be bettered. The eerie, supernat ural feeling that pervaded the book has been admirably brought to the screen. Joan Fontaine, under Hitchcock’s direction, gave such a performance that she has proved her right to being known as an excellent actress in her own right; the time may come when Olivia de Havilland will be known as “Joan Fontaine’s sis ter,” instead of its being the other way round. The entire cast is ex ceptionally good; it’s one of the best pictures that have come out of Hol lywood in a long, long time. So, even though you were quite mad about the book, don’t miss seeing it. For the first time in recent years the Legion of Decency cracked down on a pic ture made by a major studio when it stepped on “Strange Car go,” the Joan Crawford - Clark Gable film. One of the objections was that there were “lustful im plications in dia logue and situa tion.” This pic ture, incidentally, had already been passed by the Pro duction Code administration. * Barbara Stanwyck is very proud of the gift with which ^Robert Taylor celebrated their first seven months of wedded bliss—a diamond-studded pin in the shape of a covered wagon. \is Eight-year-old Johnny Sheffield is a hero, partly as a result of his role as Tarzan’s son in a picture made not so long ago. The other day he and Ann Todd, who’s a year younger, were working in a scene for RKO’s “Little Orvie,” when a water main burst, flooding the set knee-deep. Before any of the grown-ups could reach them, John ny swung Ann onto his back and marched her to safety. " si\ John Farrow, Maureen O’Sulli van’s director husband, felt so strongly about getting into the war that he gave up his job and was sworn into the Royal Canadian navy; he’s a lieutenant, and off to the wars. If Edward G. Robinson, of the movies and radio’s “Big Town” can arrange his sched ules he and Mrs. Robinson will ac company Symphony Maestro Leopold Stokowski on that musical jaunt to South America with a troupe of young American musi cians. Stokowski is taking a complete symphony orchestra with him, composed of talented young American musicians. "Sis Few people knew how much the Hollywood preview of “Primrose Path” meant to Joan Carroll. In it she plays Ginger Rogers’ brat sis ter, and the option on her services was written to run not longer than three days after the picture’s of ficial preview. The contract pro vided that she would be signed to a five-year studio contract if the audience reaction was favorable for her. Probably no showing of a picture ever meant more to a girl. She’s done her best, and all she could do was sit and wait—to see if a lot of strangers liked her. When you see it—and it’s swell, don’t miss it —you can imagine how she felt. When the showing was over, and she learned that she’d won that cov eted contract, she wanted to env brace everybody in that audience. Ken Murray, master of cere monies of CBS’s “Star Theater,’* says he turned comedian when he was fired from his first stage job, which was not so very long ago. He tried to crash vaudeville, and a comedian who felt sorry for him told him that his jokes were terrible, and offered to take him along as a “straight” man. On his first two appearances in that capacity Ken got practically all the laughs—and lost his job. Whereupon he became a successful comedian in his own right. Edward G.
