A fellow who likes boys, he quite naturally becomes a leader of Boy Rangers in his town When he and the Rangers put out a dangerous forest fire, the stage is all set for a miracle in his life. Stewart, now a local hero, is ap- pointed to the United States Senate to fill an unexpired term. He is wined and dined, then sent to what he considers one of the highest of- fices in the land. The youth is correct in his s eyed belief in the integrity of state: manship, but he doesn’'t know that in addition to statesmen there are politicians. He has been appoint- ed to the Senate for a particular purpose, and by as corrupt a state machine as ever got its coils around a local capital What young Senator Jefferson Smith does when he is disillusioned is extraordinary. It kept Capitol Theatre audiences on the edges of their seats, laughing and crying by | turn, and ays spellbound.

Step right up and shake hands with the sweet old lady—but be ready to duck The old dear’s a handy one with a gat, proving you can’t always tell about sweet old ladies, even they grey-haied, white- lace-collar, black dress type. Because you can't always tell—well, that's the reason Blanche Yurka is pleying her. I didn't know, right away, that the nijce grandmotherly type was Miss Yurka, the stage star. Ma Webster looked not a whit-like Blanche Yurka, who is blonde. But they said it was none other, and when she came off the set—after gen- erally shooting things up—sure enough it was “I'm always having to learn something new,” she said after greetings. “Never fired a gun in my life befoe. This was the way when I did Madame DeFarge in ‘A Tale of Two Cities. I had to knit. I had to knit without looking at the yarn or the kneedles. I was probably the only woman in the county who had never met a knitting needle. I took lessons. Every day from 9 to 5 for six weeks I sat and knitted. Miss Yurka is making her second picture—"“The Woman from Hell"—after four years off the screen. Her Madame DeFarge in the Dickens tale (1935) was a debut that rolled wide the con- tractual carpets, but Miss Yurka looked them over and stepped the other way—onto a New York-bound train. She didn't want to ruin the impression, she said after looking over promised roles. She alternated New York appearances with road tous as a “one=~ Spricone! rh‘."(:\!r: reception charming hostessess give thougntful guests whe bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn Candies.

I said I'd be glad to if she were enough of a hellion. And so, here I am—Ma Webster, a killer and a mother of killers.” At that moment James Hogan, the director, needed Ma for some plain and fancy shooting. The G-Men were besieging her and her youngest boy (James Seay) in their apartment. The G-Men picked a bad time, because Ma and the boy were getting ready to throw a Christmas party for the neighborhood young- sters. Ma had a spot of the softie in her makeup, along with shrewdness, hardness, and cock-eyed ideas about how to get along in the world. So there was a Christmas tree, and the boy was donning his Santa Claus pants when shooting started. Ma Yurka grabbed two revelvers, one in each hand, and blasted through the window. The kid Seay grabbed his guns, too. Off-stage a couple of tommy-guns spat fire and thunder, curtains belly and hiss under the “fire” of the G-Men “outside.” and a guy worked a compressed air machine which made the A prop-man pulled a wire and made the Christmas tree shimmy, and another pulled a wire which crashed a vase. Ma Yurka biasted on, without batting an eye. “1 started this yesterday,” said Mr Yurka. “First time I'd ever shot a gun” She turned back to the sceneunflinching, Did she take shooting-lessons? No. She had taken & couple of revolvers and a few rounds of ammunition and gone off into a corne and blazed away, all by herself, until she could do it and still keep her eyes open. ] ‘ “I learned that rom Ronald Colman—keep your eyes open no _matter what you're doing!” she said.
