Back to first love. . . The theatrical world is al
ready reechoing with the news that Sylvestor Z. Poll Is
returning to the wars—the theatrical wars. . . This
time the veteran theater magnate will be a producer.
.... He is to bring out with A. C. Dlefenbach an Eng
lish farce In which there will be a cast of 37 persons.
. . . .The play is expected to strike Broadway about
the first of October.
Shades of Gunther Mathes.... Down In Stamford
last week there died one Luther S. White who was respon
sible for the development of the flashlight picture in the
theatrical world. . . .When White first began taking
theatrical pictures there was always a hectic time getting
Bod poses, due to lighting conditions. . . .A device was
lng used in the late BO’s that required three men to
take one pose and the actors and actresses often had to
remain in uncomfortable poses as long as ten minutes.
.... Mr. White conceived the idea of an explosive powder
and after many experiments produced results.... The
first time he tried it was at Fishkill, N. Y„ on the Hudson
river, where Owen Davis was producing “The Road to
Frisco.’’. . . Visibly trembling the cast assembled and
White pulled the trigger on the flash-pan. . . .They re
port that the theater roof was never the same, but White
was overjoyed.... The path from there on was easy as
his flashlight was perfected and White became the one
and only photographer to whom theatrical producers
would turn for their cast pictures. . . . When we entered
the World war Uncle Sam requisitioned all his old nega
tives for use in making gas masks. . . .His son today
carries on his photographic studio. . . .The father after
retirement raised prize Guernsey cattle in Ngw York state
fior some few years.
Spinning the wheel . . John Creel, used auto
dealer with the ever-winning smile, sailed Saturday for
• 13-day cruise to Havana, Cuba. He may come back
with a couple of used warships. . . . Ann Gladney pulled
back Into town last night after Malne-lng since Thurs
day. . . .Mr. and Mrs. Ixtuls Dreher are having the
time of their lives in Germany. What they haven’t vis
ited Isn’t worth visiting.... Howie Slason Is going big
for pencil cartooning and wields a wicked Eberhard.
When night schools open he hopes to further his am
bition .... Miles Long, Johnny Morrissey and Bill Dil
lon hitested to New York yesterday and caught the Yan
kees and White Sox in action In a twin bill. Those boys
take their baseball seriously.
Editor, Tall Tower Topics: Commemorating the for
mal opening of the highway from the United States to
Mexico City, the southern terminus of roads sweeping
through all sections of this country and northward into
Canada, the American Automobile Association has Issued
Its first highway map of the North American continent.
It discloses in a graphic way not only the spread of the
network of roads in the United States, but also their ex
tension into Canada and Mexico. It also serves to bring
home the fact that the three thousand mile transconti
nental trek, long the world’s outstanding stretch of high
ways, has given way to 3,700 mile routes stretching from
the western and eustern areas of Canada, through the
United States, and southward to Mexico City. It oc
curred to us that you might like to have a copy of this
first road map of the North American continent in color
—and we are sending it to you herewith with the com
pliments of the American Automobile Association. Yours
very sincerely—A. J. Montgomery, Director, Department
of Public Relations.
Walter Brooks und Ray Glynn, local Fourth Es
tatcrx, really felt like crocodiles after attending the an
nual Crocodile Club shcepbake at Lake Compounce In
Bristol Thursday ufternoon. Julian Norton, host to
state newspapermen at the colorful affair, Invited all
the pencil-pushers and photographers to ride In his
speedy motor boat after the sheep was devoured. The
invitation was readily accepted and the scribes poured
Into the tug. Around and around the lake they went
with Brooks holding down a rear seat and Glynn occu
pying the entire prow. Norton put on full speed and
began zig-zug-lng so several of the scribblers wished he
bad suggested the roller coaster instead. As the boat
lipped from side to side gallons of water hit the occu
pants so liurd und often they couldn't even complain.
Brooks and Glynn were drenched when terra flrma was
finally reached. And were they burned up when they
discovered the cigars which were part of the menu were
as wet as Monday’s wash. But It was a great ride, a
great day and a great treat from a grateful host.
Ah Augunt wanes. . . . "In-August the sui. ha*
warmed the swoctfern Into Its most spicy fragrance. Au
gust Is the month of bec-baJm, blossoming In shady
t places. I know a garden like a showy quilt, spread un
der trees, a quilt patterned with the bright ruby crowns
of bec-balrn. This Is the month of dahlias, zinnias, phlox
and marigolds. Pickerel weed Is bluer than the river In
whose coves it grows. Oentiuns light the river bank with
small blue bulbs. Bird songs are not so plentiful as In
June or curly July, but the song sparrow still sings and
u little bird I know us the "preacher," who carols forth to
ull who listen: 'You hear it. Do you believe It?’ Crickets
sound their slow music all duy, and earth moves to the
rhythm of It. There are fresh vegetables from near-by
farms. Great red betas, yellow wax beans, tomatoes and
cucumbers, sweet corn and summer suuash. Kitchens
are delightful places when dinner Is cooking or when the
cook Is pouring raspberry lam Into Jars. Then let us
warm ourselves with August. Let us not forget to sing a
heartfelt Doxology for all the color, fragrance, richness In
which we revel." . . . E. V., in the Christian Science Mon
itor.
Good Nttht.
