McGEE'S HoJlywod, Cal.-"-FV>llowing the path biased in motion pictures by "Lloyds of London" and other popular films which dramatise the romance of a business institution, "Stan," sponsored by the Standard Ofl Company of Indiana, and produced here with a cast of 400, will soon be released for showings by company representatives and deal ers in the central west, it was announce^ recently. The picture, which was, directed by Marshall Neilan and is a feature production, portrays events in the life of an agent of the company in a small central western community called "Prairie View." For the first time in production of commercial films, according to the claim of the sponsors, Hollywood has put into "Stan" the same care as to story quality, directing and acting talent tha is applied to making movies for the theatres. The sponsor's purpose is to show the relation of the company's agents and dealers to the communities in which they live. This is undertaken by picturing stirring episodes high in straight entertainment value. Filmed in the role of "Stan" is Robert Armstrong, the popular Hollywood actor who is himself a native of Michigan. With him, as "Uncle Si" is Andy Clyde, long popular as a comedian in the motion picture world, as well as a score of other movie stars, including Peggy Shannon, Si Jeriks, Mary Doran, George Beban, Jr., Kermit Maynard, a former star football player at the University of Indiana, and Marshall Ruth, a native of Marshalltown, Iowa. The picture was produced on the RKO-Pathe lot in Hollywood by Raphael Wolff, and in the tractor plowing contest and County Fair episodes more than $60,000 worth of farm machinery was employed in. making scenes. "Stan" is based upon a story by Homer Crpy, the well known novelist, who formerly lived in Maryville, Mis souri. The screen play was written by Houston Branch, Hollywood dramatist and screen writer.

Then he says, says he, how nice it would be if we would write a little boost for this permanent museum project. - -• • • --I--: Mr. Owen says he would prefer a separate article from the column, so we took it up with our Editor. He's a great fellow to take things up with. We're still taking up that last Presidential election, but he's the guy that got took.

We tried to see everything and everybody, but must have missed much. • • Everybody says that exhibit was a darb and that it should be preserved for posterity. We think so, too. -IIWhy not look around for more choice numbers, find a place to' put them and invite McHenry's nationwide hook-up to come back again-- often. ' --I-- Now. Mr. Owen you may be "thinking of this thing from the serious side. That's O. K. with us, but we plan to mix our own ideas in this affair since we were asked. --IFirst of all, we must rebate a little incident that loomed up* before us when your name appeared. Wonder if you will remembr the time back ih about the year 1922 when you lost a golf ball in our Country Club Creek and summoned me to take a dive for it? . T . There were iShly nine holes then and the place wasn't finished off as it is today. By golly, we have to laugh now when we think of you getting set way up there on old No. 6 tee for a mighty drive that was to carry across the Creek. The aim was perfect. You hit that Creek like a bulls-eye shot, --H-- Well, that's where our troubles began. You came down the hill like the "P* Pony Express totin' the mail. The old creek bank was steep and it's bed was mucky. -I- •- ' You used your head though, Old Timer,--and my heels. Yes sir. You had me by the heels as my right arm thrust into the muck for that doggone baU. • • -IIWe got the ball, but it took soma tall yelping to convince you that the ball was in the clutch of that outstretched arm. It took some mighty tugging to bring your diver to shorty but you landed us--and the ball. -#- Now, if it will help, we can list a few things that could be salvaged for this historical collection. For instance: Fred Schnorr*s gate. Frank Bennett's corn cob pipe. (We figure that a couple more months of steaming and that pipe will be a great safeguard against moths in this collection.) # John Dreymiller a razor thai must have come out of some museum and we think it ought to be back in one. Dave Payne has a crooked cane thai could grace the cabinets of any museum with prominence. Wonder what became of George Meyer's snow plow? Of course, tha horse is gone, but what the heck--we cant' have everything. Wattles has been kind of stingy about handing out cigars lately. If he keeps 'em much longer, they ought to be O. K. for exhibition purposes. How'm I doin', Old Timer? di wasn't this your idea of the thing? ...... . cjjifseniative or the ] J"'y . 25 ~ Championship, Illinois Salvation Army Division, will 12. \0U2,. • Pres> and v"*-pres. using the strikeout ball.

Haven't you ever pulled out the old family album and laughed' your sides sore at how funny you used to look? Old keepsakes, like old friendships, should be treasured and preserved with care.
