your reporter can glen a large
part of the program is to be given
to the Interview of Roy Fox in be-
half of Howard Payne. Although
Fox is no Hal Thompson when It
comes to radio speaking he does
have u pleasing radio voice. Tune
in to KGKO next Tuesday night
and hear our editor give our Alma
Mater a "blowing-up."
Boners!
Although the speech heard over
the radio is supposed to be an ex-
ample of the most perfect of Eng-
lish speech there are nevertheless
some boners pulled which .soma
people catch. Here are a few:
Monica Moogan (reporting an in-
terview with Elizabeth Ardent:
"She will soon give a Fashion Pa-
rade witli nothing but veils" . . .
Connie Boswell: "My first .song
is I've Got My Eyes On You and
I think it's going places" . . .
Ulmer Turner Globe Trotter:
"This will be the first time Sergei
Rachmaninoff has appeared in
movies at least in shorts" . . .
These boners are being pulled
every day so whenever you hear
one remember who said It and
when turn It in to your reporter
and it will be published giving
you recognition for it.

Stage And Screen
Cri Our Stage
Your reporter dropped in the
other night on a dress rehearsal of
hen Whirlwind Blows the one-
ait play the dramatic club is tak-
ing to the one-act play festival in
Abilene this week end and was
favorably impressed by the work
tiiat the cast ol three girls was
producing. The acting wus still a
bit "rough" in different places but
a.s a whole the play is beginning
to look like a finished production.
The play presumably written
ii bout Russia by Essex Dane
.shows the class conflict between
three classes of people: the peas-
lint class tile servants of the
aristocrats and the aristocrats.
The cast composed of three
women are: Jean Stephens wife
of an aristocratic general; Marlon
Conkson servant girl of an aristo-
cratic family; Eloise Lane a peas-
ant woman.
The story is as follows: the
peasants angered by the execu-
tion of several peasants plan to
burn all aristocrats' homes. The
servant gill and peasant woman
capture the wife of an aristocratic
general and plan to kill her. The
aiistocratic woman reasons with
the other two knowing that sol-
diers were coming to her rescue.
Inning the conversation It is re-
vealed that the servant girl had
betrayed the son of the peasant
woman tor some money and lie
was executed. The aristocratic
lady leaves the other1 two alone on
the .stage knowing that the peus-
iiut woman will probably kill the
.servant girl.
Ameche Is "Benched"
Don Ameche the most popular
"yes" man in Hollywood said
"no" to 'JOth Century Fox and In
doing .so diopped a bombshell in
the laps of all the big companies
that might turn into a big issue.
There is a practice in Hollywood
changing; stars with each other
for dlfterent parts in pictures. So
L'Oth Century Fox loaned Don
Ameche to Paramount in return
lor a star or two that had been
loaned them earlier in the year.
Ameche read the part that he was
to play In The Night of January
Hi th and promptly refused to play
the pait. Just as promptply 20th
Century suspended him.
Paramount figures their loss at
about $50000 and immediately set
legal minds to work on a possible
case against 20th Century for
Ameche's notion. If such a. case
materializes it will set a precedent
and may also cause a revamp of
tho star-exchange system all over
Hollywood. The question of just
where the actor's lights ends and
tho companies' rights begins
would have to bo settled. It
ceems that tho stnrs should have
.something to say as to parts that
they play for other companies
other than the one they are under
contract to at least that is the
way Don Ameche views the mat-
ter. Mickey's Beet
Mickey Rooney who has won
top honors In acting from King
of tho Movies by Ed. Sullivan to
best actor of month of February
