“THE GREAT DICTATOR” SHOWS AT WELLS MONDAY & TUESDAY Charlie Chaplin, perhaps the most publicized person the amusement world has ever know, maintains a press department, ot course. But unlike other studios, instead of a staff, it is manned by one person. And that person’s chief job is to suppress publicity rather than further it. For Charlie, whose latest comedy, “The Great Dictator” comes to the Wells Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, Oct ober 27 and 28, believes that funda mentally the public is interested in a star for but one reason—his pictures. If they aren’t good, he maintains, all the publicity in the world means nothing. And to that end, his studios concentrated not on Charlie—what he thinks, eats, wears, likes or dislikes— but the movies he makes—and only when in production. Then, and then only, does news come from his publi city office. Co-starring in “The Great Dictator” with Chaplin is Pau lette Goddard and other popular stars. Don’t miss this picture. It s the first Chaplin has made since “modern times”. m DR.

McDavid Horton sought no glory for himself. He was a news paperman first, last and all the time, with a keen sense of duty to his readers, McDavid Horton’s career as chief editorial writer on The State was a short one but in those few years he brilliantly upheld the ideals of that newspaper as fixed by its founders so many years ago.

It was a keen disappointment to note the decided defeat of an old Lexington boy and friend, John Ear- hardt, for reelection as mayor of the town of Newberry. He was chief steersman of the -municipal boat for a good many years. He met the fate of many. He held on too long. Towns, like republics, are often ungrateful. So late as two years ago he went in with a bang over two opponents. Sour old Dean Swift wrote diat one of two epitaphs can be truthfully inscribed on every politician’s tomb stone: “Kicked ovvt or died.” During the race we read an ac count of a campaign meeting. The candidate who won, stressed the fact, as a vote-puller, that he was a the splendid vote given me in native of Newberry town, and had i i lived there all his life.
