It happened in Mara- thon. His name was Louis Russell, Jr Bunky was his nickname. Spunky Bunky, we called him. d, well he deserved that appellation. Bunky was only 17. He wa to live. He fought to live. He had the makings of a at athlete. He had the instinctive ‘“‘know how’’ of competitive sports But fate matched the kid against an insidious oponent. There was code of fair play, Nothing type that Bunky had encount on the basketball court, the base- ball diamond, or perhaps the box- ing ring. Bunky would take his chances against an opposing competit whom he could see. But, this’ w a case of battling something in- THANKS!

The red-haired actress is now | | starring with John Lund and Ho- |ward Duff in Universal - Inter- national’s Technicolor ‘‘Steel ; Town,” opening Sunday at the) Monroe Theatre. “Steel Town,” di- rected by George Sherman and produced by Leonard Goldstein, ;combines the documentary flavor | of a large stee] mill in operation with a movie story that packs plen- | ty of thrills and action. “Those people who would have us battle in champagne, wear eve- ning gowns 24 hours a day and lride in limousines with the cur- tains down are living in the past,” | Says Ann. “A gal can wear slacks and eat | hamburgers and still have enough | charm to pull them in at the box- office.” | There was a time in show bus- | jiness when stars like Maude Ad- | ams were never seen by the-pub-| lic because her producer insisted | | that she travel everywhere: in a | | blacked out automobile and that |her private life should never be discussed in the newspapers. Fran- cis -X. Bushman, the first great lover of the screen, was the father of several children at the height of his career, but his studio bosses saw fit to keep it a secret. Nowadays,” Ann concludes, ‘‘a | very large majority of the, top stars have families, just like every- one else,, and that domestic fact us to judge, but to merely medi- tate upon the facts as we find them.” { | use CLOROX for health protection as well | When it’s |left a section of the strand blood | Of Gov't Goods ALBANY, N.Y.
