PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1940 South Carolina Girl Wins More Honors As Actress Notice of Election (Frank Dickson in The Anderson Independent) SALLEY, Oct. 12.—-High honors come again to Madelyn Earle Jones of Salley, who uses the professional name of Lois Collier. Already in the limelight because of her work in motion pictures and also over the ra dio, she is establishing an enviable reputation on the American stage. The young actress, a petite hrun- ette, has been playing a leading role the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, California, as the initial production there of Frederick M. Speare, a New York producer. Critics predict that she will rise to stardom through her appearance in the Ramon Cerva com edy-drama featuring Betty Comson, screen and stage star. Such has been the talent of the native South Carolinian, who pre viously took part in two other stage plays, in doing some highly emo tional scenes in this drama that she has attracted the attention of stage veterans and talent scouts. The Salley beauty, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Earle Jones of this Aiken County town, completed a part in a forth coming Columbia motion picture, en titled “Girls of the Road,” prior to the opening of “The Scarlet Virgin” and added to her experience as a cinema player. How did this girl of the Sunny South make her way from obscuri ty in a country town in the Palmetto State, to distinction in the field or entertainment scoring a success in the branches of the silver screen, the air lanes, and now behind the foot lights ? It was while a student at Lime stone College in Gaffney, that the gifted actress won a beauty contest staged by Monogram Pictures. Such was the enthusiasm that when Olin Johnston, a native of Anderson County delivered an address to the graduating class in 1934, at which time he was a cand’date for the gov ernorship, she rushed up to him af ter the speech and confided an ambi tion. The ambition: to go to Hollywood. Upon learning that the girl was the winner of a beauty contest, John ston looked down at her auburn hair and pretty face and comment ed. “I hope you get there.” And Made lyn said by way of retort: “I hope you’ll be elected governor.” Both of them realized their fond hopes. Johnston moved into the Govern or’s Mansion at Columbia for four years, and Madelyn, with her grand mother as a chapeone, made a trip to Hollywood, where she competed with.four other United States and Canadian girls chosen in the same contest. In the final judging, alas, she lost by one vote! Far from being downcast in spirit, Madelyn decided to stay long er in Hollywood and the next day talked her grandmother into extend ing their visit in the film capital so she could search for a screen job on her own initiative. Every morning and every afternoon she received the same response—a st€*n “No”. At last Madelyn was about ready to admit defeat and give up in disgust. Then, all of a sudden, it so happened that George Hale, the dance director of George White, saw her and gave the Pride of Salley a part in “The Scandals.” And after that she received from Fox pictures a seven-year contract. Within a short time the former student of Limestone College was demonstrating her acting ability in many, many films, including “Way Down East”, “Curly Top”, “Under tne Pampas Moon”, “The Gay Decep tion”, “Ball of Fire”, “Private Num ber”, “Red Heads on Parade” “Girl’s Dormitory”, and “The Great Ziegfield*. There followed other successes. When Madelyn was given her, first vacation in two years of movie work, she visited Johnston immediately af ter her arrival in Columbia, and greet ed him with the cry: “Remember what I told you on graduation night?” In spite of her six years of resi dence in Hollywood, Salley’s movie star has not forgotten her native state at least. This was proven some months ago. WTiile walking along a street she chanced to see an auto mobile bearing a South Carolina license plate, and seized by a case of home-sickness, she broke into a frenzied attempt to catch the car. After a number of blocks of running, she succeeded. To her pleasant surprise, the ac tress discovered thLt she and the tourists from South Carolina had mutual friends in Columbia, and the outcome was an extremely enjoyable conversation of considerable length. And she wrote her mother that this talk with the “news from home,” was more than worth her sprint along the Hollywood thoroughfares! STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Newberry.

Washington, Oct. 10.—Eighty-five per cent of the 5,100,000 negroes north of the Mason Dixon line will support President Roosevelt, said William J. Tompkins, recorder of deeds, today, basing his assertion on a survey just completed by his organization, the National Colored Democratic asso ciation. In this association, he said, there are 2,00,0000 voters registered, all pledged for Mr. Roosevelt. He de clared the negro vote holds the bal ance of Power in New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Ken tucky, Missouri, Illinois, West Vir ginia, Michigan, Oklahoma and Cal ifornia. “All these states, the survey shows, will be carried by Roosevelt,” Mr Thompkins said. “And with the ne gro vote solid for the president it is only reasonable to conclude that our voters will put over the elections in these pivotal states. In addition to being a decided factor in the presi dential election in these states the negroes are a dominant power in eighty-nine congressional districts.” Asserting that since 1936 this elec torate had been with the Democratic party, Mr. Thompkins added: “No influence can get it away, our people believe implicitly in the presi dent and his policies and he has done much for us.” Illinois has the largest number of ^ negro voters, 475,000; New York is second with 340,000 and Pennsylvania third with 330,000. In North Caro lina there are 513,000 negroes and 480,000 of voting age in Texas, Mr. Thompkins said. MOTHER OF NEWBERRIAN DIES Mrs. Lula Belle Lucas, 49, wife of Dr. T. A. Lucas and sister of Mrs. C.
