The doubtful distinction of being in the limelight, a situation which Farmingtonians, abhor, ie the consequence of publicity given roadhouses within the precincts of the town. Thus far, one roadhouse has been raided, it has been learned that cheap gin was served at another who Jater died, and the owner of a third, politely known as an exclusive club, has been ordered to appear in court for the sale of intoxicating beverag- es. Thus the sensibilities of the fair community have been shocked. And the end is not in sight because Judge J. Ellicott Hewes of the IParmington town court has ordered the constabulary to clean up road- houses which are being conducted in an objectionable manner. The roadhouse, in its present form, is a development of the new generation. It usually is equipped with a jazz band or a player piano, a kitchen and a chef and liquors wmore or less potable. The liquor is not always kept on the premises and the waiter will assure the customer that “we don't sell anything here.” As an afterthough, he will add: “But I know a fellow who can get some for you.” In such a brief time that your hreath is taken away the “fel- low" appears with the refreshments.

Some, of the film players in talk- ers may have had stage experience prior to their coming to the screen, but they are currently screen per- sonalities in most cases and had been generally known to the public be- fore appearing in talkers. Casting Shows Change The predicitions that a completc change in screen personalities would occur with the production of talkers have failed fo develop, The produc- ers, first also considering the use of stage people mostly, have changed their attitude as evidence in the people being cast. It has been found that most of the film stars and featured players have better recording voices than expected and some have been d covered whose voices register better than those of stage players. At the same time theater managers report that film fans, rare cases excepted, would rather hear a weak-voiced screen favorite than an unknown, not photographing so well, with a cultivated voice. The English accent docsn’t mean a thing out yonder. Personality still sways audicnces, and voice is only one of the contributing factors. he talkers first created uncer- tainty even among the highest paid and best known celebs. Many of them thought they were through even before taking a voice ftest. Most of them have found that all they need is a little gargle water. The deficlencies in spcech in the carly talkers which made wise Broadway laugh brought an entirely different response out of 1own. Now we have it. The panacca for things as they are has been found. Accept it from Dr. Harlow Shapley noted astronomer and director Harvard college obscrvatory, who | has told the American Philosophi | society that: “The world's intellec- |tual need today, as always, is gen- ius. lacking that (and we | erally do lack it), an important need |is an epidemic of broad intellectual | sympathies; and a third need is the promotion of a seductive dignity for the intellectual life, especially where | academic dignity is more solemn and | repulsive than alluring. | The doctor is right. No doub* sout it. Everyone realizes that in | this paradise of morons, this hoob [ world, a little more intellectualisim would not be amiss.
