Sir Arthur Sullivan gave to these words a tune- lul setting as appealing and catchy as those famous light Operas which brought lame and fortune to Gilbert brought tame and fortune to Gilbert and Sullivan. Let us consider the tune chiefly. First it is aingable. There are no awk- ward ships and in going it gets some- where. There is logical progression, 3 strong climax and a satisfactory end- ing.

But to those who can’t get away? What about the young people especially, who crave some recreation and enjoyment? They are justified in their condemna- tion of a town that sits back and lets other places get ahead. Is it fair to the young folks? We are trying to visualize the councillors when they were young. We wonder if they were satisfied to go along without any sport of any kind. Of course they are older now. They do not look at things in the same light. They are quite content now to sit in their easy chairs, smoking their pipes and telling what they did and didn’t do when they were such and such an age. But they aparently forget that there are young people in the town with the natural craving for pleasure. You cannot put an old head on young shoulders. It simply can’t be done. These old grouches going around shaking their heads in disapproval of the local sheiks and shebas going to other towns to dances and other forms of amusement, should havetheir mem- ories jogged. They well need to talk about the modern generation! Perhaps they think their escapades have been forgotten. Well not quite. We have no use for the man who forgets he was ever young or who ex- pects the young people to be satisfied with the things he enjoyed. The world is moving on. Things are changing. But one thing that always has been and always will be is a normal healthy, young person’s desire for amusement. Should Give Co-operation We hear the softball executive is pro- moting a day of sports.

A Walk Through Durham THE DURHAM CHRONICLE (By Just a mere four thousand odd dol- lars per week is the demand, much publicized during the past week, of Mr. James Cagney of the West Coast. And his obstinate bosses refuse resol- utely to. pay this. You see, Mr. Cagney works for a firm who make motion pictures, and in the light of past sal- aries the request might even be rea- sonable. But after all, his employers did raise him from a modest $300 per week to his present $1,400, though le- gally they could have continued the smaller figure for some time to come. Mr. Cagney has introduced a new tech- nique into the amour of the films with his swift slaps in the face dealt out to gals seeming to deserve such treat- ment, and his piece de resistance was the famous and lusty kick delivered to a lovely blonde in one of his earlier Wants $4,000 Weekly (By Murison Dunn in Mail Empire) screen stories. She had doublecrossed him, and retribution overtook her in that unexpected manner. Audience reaction was instant in this case, and the young man has be- come quite a favorite. He is a real drawing card in many cities. His ear- lier films did not play in Ontario, but latterly he has began to appear regu- larly in Toronto. Thousands of young matrons. constant movie-goers, appre- ciate vicariously his cavalier treatment of the ladies of the cast in his pic- tures. They feel a sub-conscious wish that their own men would put their feet down firmly once in a while, or even raise same vigorously. As a mat- ter of fact Jimmy Cagney is a good lad and a good actor, smart enough to create a new characterization of his own. A child of the stage, of course, and only two years ago was playing a “bit” and doing a song and dance in a Summer revue, “The Grant Street Follies" in New York. Prior to that he had one of the greatest heartbreaks an actor has suffered in recent years. His present success must be a deep source of satisfaction when he reflects upon the time his grief was overflow- ing. Four years ago he was signed (or and rehearsed the leading role for the company of “Broadway" being assem- Salary in These Days for bled for London.

It was his first big chance and his disappointment was intense. He did not sail with the London com- pany of that outstanding modern-type play. Being under contract, he re- mained in New York as the under- study for Lee Tracy, also new in pic- tures. Jimmy Cagney is entitled to a hearty chuckle these days. The men- ager who did not send him to England would now gladly pay him ten times as much. All that he desires today to fill his cup of happiness is that four thousand per week. If he can “out-l shout" some film magnates his chance of success is a good one. Or will they tell him that their reply to his de- mand can be put in two wordsâ€"im pos- sible. Diversion is a necessity for ev- eryone at this time, and it all adds{ to the scene to watch a battle of this‘ sort being waged by a chap for that which he believes is his just right. Public Supports Actor . Thousands of people jogging along on one per cent. of Mr. Cagney's ask-i ing price view the matter as unreal. or as purely publicity. It so happens that the argument is a veritable one, with asperity creeping in here and there. A flood of mail has been sweep- ing into the offices of Mr. Cagney’s bosses upholding the actor’s request for that resounding salary. Many of the letters are not of the usual type received from picture-goers and the correspondence has been viewed with suspicion. Then again. at the opening in New York of the boy's latest pic- ture his chief boss found himself seat- ed next to a young lady who heckled him throughout the filming to give in about that salary. The unanswered question arises. did this happen by chance or design? Plenty of salary- chopping has been going on in the film ,industry lately. and those fabulous live !and ten thousand a week stipends are gnot forthcoming so readily.
