Broadway.. . by Mark Barron
VIEW YORK, Sept. 8 (TP)—Robert Keith is a ver-
-% satile man, so he isn’t going to confine himself
to Hollywood as has been rumored. He has just
finished making six pictures during the past year,
a task which he interrupted once to come back to
Broadway to resume his role of ‘“Doc” in the hit
play, “Mister Roberts.”
“That six weeks back in ‘Mister

wagons, and hundreds of horsemen. Per-
forming horses and ponies from the Gaines-
ville circus were in the program as in other
years.
A number of local people may recall that
m 1944 when Ringling Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey circus lost their tent in the Hart-
ford fire, the show was given in LaGrave
field at Fort Worth and the Dallas club’s
ball park in Dallas.
During the latter engagement, rain fell
throughout the day, and the big property
wagons were mired hub deep in mud of the
outfield, requiring as many as half a dozen
tractors and several elephants to get them
onto firm ground.
The show played such fields from July,
when the fire occurred, until late in October.
Thus it may be seen that baseball officials
in the largest leagues and cities, recognize
that they receive the support of a great
number of fans who have other interests in
addition to baseball, and they are glad to
make their parks available for other pur-
poses as a public service.

ACCIDENTS AND WARS
WARS ARE NO accident. They are cooly
calculated to take the lives of as many of
the enemy as possible in an effort to win the
victory. Millions of dollars are spent on
munitions that are powerful and effective.
Nevertheless, all the munitions that have
been poured into the fighting between the
North Koreans and the American troops and
their allies, have not been as effective in
nine weeks of fighting, as one hilarious La-
bor day weekend in the United States.
For during the first nine weeks of the Ko-
rean warfare, 503 American troops were
killed. But on the homefront, 512 deaths
were caused by accidents of various kinds in
this country from Friday through to Mon-
day of this week.
Cooke county was fortunate, in that there
were no accidental deaths in this area during
the weekend. But this country has had its
share of such tragedies during 1950.
There is one bright note in the accidental
death picture, but it brings little encourage-
ment.
Traffic safety officials had estimated some
435 persons would lose their lives on our
highways and streets during the weekend,
and the total was 360.
The traffic death toll was an average of
90 daily. Korean fighting has taken an aver-
age of nine American lives daily.
We think war is terrible, and it is. But

Reds are anywhere near running-
out of matches.
And he plays at varied parts in the six pictures
he has just completed. In “My Foolish Heart,” he
is the sympathetic humorous father of Susan a
Hayward. In “The Reformer and The Red Head” 222a
he is a cynical newspaperman. It “The Edge of M
Doom” he is an inspector of police, and he plays
the same sort of role with Ann Sheridan in “Wom-
an on the Run.” In a technical western, “Branded,”
which he did for Paramount, he is a ruthless
killer. And in “Fourteen Hours”, he is the sym-
pathetic father of a boy who is perched on the
ledge of a New York hotel preparing to leap to'
his death.
This was a tough picture for Keith to do be-
cause he suffers from acrophobia, the morbid
dread of being at a great height. This complex
brought him further anguish when he was playing-
in “Branded” where he had to ride down a nar-
mountain trail and fire a gun over his horse’s head.
They brought three doubles to do this stunt, but
they couldn’t find them when shooting started. So
Keith did it. Thinks he may be cured of his acro-
phobia now, but won’t admit it because he fears
Paramount will send him a bill for medical treat-
ment.

OWLS IN THE PLAY-OFF
A THREE-year dream of Gainesville base-
ball fans has been realized—the Owls are
in the Big State league play-off.
Tonight at Locke field on the Cooke Coun-
ty Fair grounds, the baseball fans of Gaines-
ville and surrounding territory will see their
ball club clash with the Wichita Falls Spud-
ders in the third game of the play-off series.
The series has added excitement in the
fact that the clubs split the first two games
at Wichita Falls, and are evened up as they
come to Gainesville for the next three games,
which will decide which of the two clubs will
go into the finals with the Texarkana-Tem-
ple series winner.
While the ball park seats some 3,000 per-
sons, there is a strong possibility this number
is insufficient to take care of all the fans
who will be on hand tonight for the series
opener.
Indications are now that weather condi-
tions will be favorable for the game tonight,
and a large delegation of Wichita Falls fans
will be on hand.
The Owls are going to have plenty of back-
ing in the stands when they take the field.
A championship for the smallest city in
Class B baseball, would be a triumph worth
crowing about.

NO PRECEDENT SET
VO PRECEDENT was set this week when
the Gainesville Centennial celebration’s
historical spectacle, "Progressorama," was
presented in front of the grandstand in the
baseball park at the Cooke County Fair
grounds.
One very good example of such use of
baseball parks is the tour of Cole Brothers
circus, second largest in the United States,
during the summer season just past. With
Hopalong Cassady Bill Boyd as the star, the
circus officials felt their tent was too small
to accommodate the crowds and as a result,
they exhibited before a grandstand in stadia
and baseball parks throughout the north and
east during May, June and July.
The Yankee stadium and the Dodgers’ Eb-
bets field, were among the locations where
the circus exhibited with their heavy equip-
ment, hundreds of horses, dozens of ele-
phants, and big property wagons with loads
up to 10 and 15 tons.
We may bring the matter much closer to
home. Last August 15, the recreation de-
partment of the city of Fort Worth presented
its annual circus in LaGrave field, as it has
done for the past 15 years. Included in the
cast were some 1,500 persons, and their
grand entry included stage coaches, covered
