EDDIE CANTOR IN
“KID FROM SPAIN”|
“The-Kid From Spain,” Eddie Can-
tor’s third and best starring vehicle
for Samuel Goldwyn, begins at the
Bailey Theatre Sunday and presents
i the pop-eyed comedian in what he
sincerely believes is his greatest of-
fering to the cause of amusement.
It is the story of a button-eyed
lad, who, getting kicked out of school
with his roommate for suspicious go-
ings-on in a girls’ dormitory, gets
involved in a bank robbery and es-
capes to Mexico disguised as a prom-
inent bullfighter, there accepting the
acclaim due to the man he is imper-
sonating until forced to go into a real
bullfight.
Nonsense and song make up most
of the picture and make of it a gay,
romantic fable of love, shot through
with dark, smiling eyes and mata-
dors. The story itself is Eddie’s own
idea, but its elaboration was done by
Mr. Goldwyn. He brought in Wil-
liam Anthony McGuire, Bert Kalmar
and Harry Ruby to write the book
and music, and by so doing he got
the story which he believed served
the purpose.
He made tests for several weeks in
the seection of his heroine, and he
made other tests for other weeks in
the choice of 76 beauties to serve
as a background. The same meticu-
lousness was exercised in the selec-
tion of the principal players, the re-
sult being one of the best casts in
months.
There are three distinct divisions
in that cast. Lyda Roberti, electric
Broadway comedienne, plays oppo-
site Cantor and serves as a remark-
able butt for him, as well as singing
three songs with him. Ruth Hall
and Robert Young are the romantic
leads, and there are all sorts of vil-
lains, incuding John Miljan, Carrol
Naish, Noah Beery and Stanley
Fields. In fact, there’s a fourth di-
vision, too, this being occupied en-
tirely by Sidney Franklin, world-
famed bullfighter, who portrays the
role of Sidney Franklin, world-famed
bullfighter.
For the bullfighting sequences, Mr.
Goldwyn went to great pains to
make the arena an authentic one.
Bulls were imported from Mexico
and a hundred experts of one kind
or another put the arena into opera-
tion. And the result is one of the
most beautiful and, at the same time
the most authentic bullfight scenes
ever brought to the screen.
Three of the songs sung by the
star are said to be of hit proportions.
These are “In the Moonlight,” “What
a Perfect Combination” and “Look
What You’ve Done!” All are rend-
ered against a background of lavish
beauty, beautiful girls, tuneful music

“L” CLUB ENJOYS FISHING TRIP
Members of the “L” club of the
Lampasas high school enjoyed a very
successful fishing trip on the Lam-
fasas river last week end.
Some of the boys of the cjub were
unable to go because they were work-
ing. Those who went reported a very
enjoyable time. Some of the boys
went for the fishing and others just
went to camp out. Mr. John Rown-
tree was one of the latter, but he
enjoyed the fish that were caught
by others.
T. J. Childers, Orville Rush, Parker
Patterson, Tootie Landrum, Mr. D.
S. Moore and John Hart, were the
ones who really fished. They caught
enough for fifteen boys.
Those on the trip were: Orville
Rush, T. J. Childers, Auby Brown,
Bub Perry, Marvin Dickason, Tootie
Landrum, Parker Patterson, John
Hart, James Berry, J. B. Allen, Eu-
gene Dickens, Vonceil Greeson, Mau-

Mr. Glen Terry, Mr. Moore, and Mr.
Rowntree.
GOLD FISH TRAVELS 80
MILES TO NEW HOME
Although gold fish are given away
in Lampasas, Mary Kathryn Walker
seems to think that ones bought in
Austin are better. While attending
the I. L. P. C. in that city, Mary
Kathryn visited Kress and purchas-
ed two small gold fish. Despite many
threats of her party to throw them
out of the window on the way home,
she arrved here safely with her fish
intact.
The fish have been named Bing and
Ophelia, and if you want to make
“Mama Walker” angry, just mention
harming her gold fish.
CHATTERBOX
May I ask you something? I just
must know this. Just what is a stu-
dent body? I’ve wondered and won-
dered. At first I thought it might
be a pre-historic animal or something
like that, but I’ve about decided that
it is more kind of freak that goes to
school, since it has a body and is a
student. But I want to be sure, so
will you tell me?
Oh, I want to tell you the silliest
thing. Don’t people do funny things
some time? We were in public
speaking class the other day and Bet-
ty Young was trying to find a good
book to read, I guess she had to have
a few extra points right at the end
of school like I did. Mary F. Cas-
beer, the great reader was telling her
some books she had read. And do
you know what she told her? Well,
of all the silly things, she told her
to read “Silver Slippers.” The idea
of reading silver slippers. I always
wear mine. But, of course, if they
want to read their’s it’s ok with me.
Everyone wants to do things differ-
ent I guess.
Oh, dear, I’ve already had too much
chatter (or should I say clatter, I’ll
let you decide) for this week, but
I’ll tell you some more intelligent
things next week, you know we only
have about two more weeks until
school is out. Will you be glad or
sad? I wonder. Maybe the seniors
will be sad and the others glad, or
vice versa. Who knows. Anyway, so
long till next week.

JOHN HART CAN “TAKE IT”
“Wham! Smack! Crash!” were the
sounds coming from John Hai*t’s
trousers as the boys of the “L” club
lined up and passed by, giving John
a lick with his belt.
John came up from the tree with
a crooked smile on his face.
John can “take it.”
As we attend school every day at
LHS, we have come to accept our
classmates as (common (people 'and
our talking to them as an everyday
occurrence. Little do we realize that
we are walking among descendants
of famous men and women in his-
tory. When asked about their an-
cestors, these people were shy about
answering, for they have been laugh-
ed at so many times for claiming
relationship with famous people.
Myrl Wilks’ grandfather is the first
cousin to Zachery Taylor, one of the
former presidents of the United
States. Vivian Lanier is related to
Sidney Lanier, a famous American
poet. Betty Young is a descendant
of Brigham Young.
Nel Jo Hastings’ great-great-great
grandfather was Commander Warren
Hastings, who fought in the Battle
of Hastings during the Hundred Years
War. Tootie Landrum bravely de-
clared that he is related to John
Quincy Adams. Jessie Standard
claims to be a relatives of Jessie
James.
Eugene Coffey’s great-grandmoth-
er’s family name was Knox, and the
city of Knoxville, Tenn., was named
for her family. Katherine Gartman
is a distant cousin by marriage to ex-
President Herbert Hoover. Ellen
May Bailey is a relatives of Robert
E. Lee, and at one time her mother’s
photograph appeared in a Mississippi
newspaper as one of his descendants.
Vivian Dickens claims to be a rela-
tive of Charles Dickens. Lewis Wal-
ker claims with enthusiasm that he
is related to Abraham Lincon. Lyda
Byrd truthfully claims to be a des-
cendant of George Washington.
WHAT HAPPENS ON AN UN-
PLEASANT TRIP TO THE OFFICE
I travel far and near but I never
take a more unpleasant trp than those
that I automatically take when I’m
sent to the office. I was never sent
to the office when I was a freshman
or sophomore because I was too timid
and scared to commit the misdemean-
ors that result in a trip to the office.
The last two years I’ve kept in my
mind the song “Who’s Afraid of the
Big Bad Wolf?” I have been very
sorry ever since because I get sent
Into the office regularly now.
Upon entering the door Mi*. Rown-
tree gives you a funny look and
asks, “Why are you in here?” My
knees begin to shake and I stammer
around and finally say, “Well, er,uh-
Mrs. Norris sent me.” In his deep
gruff voice he says, “Why?” At last
he coaxes me to tell him the truth.
After I have confessed he says, “Go
get your anthology.” I reply, “Yes,
sir,” and walk out. When I return,
he assigns me twenty-five or fifty
lines of memory work and then tells
me to report for conference. He
gives me a slip to get into study
hall and I sit there wishing I had
been just a little bit better. Then
I think of the zero I just received in
English. Each time I say to myself,
“I’m going to be good until school’s
out at least.” But it all seems in
vain.
LHS HAS SECOND
FRANK BUCK OF “BRING
BACK ALIVE FAME”
It is known that LHS possesses
talent in every activity, but no one
knew we had a snake capturer in
our midst.
“Let’s catch this snake,” said Von-
ceil Greeson during physical train-
ing period, Tuesday morning.
Vonceil proceeded to catch the
snake and held it captive to the
amazement of his friends and class-
mates. i
JOHNNY WEISSMULLER IS A
HOWLING SUCCESS LITERALLY
Johnny Weissmuller may not have
spoken any lines of dialogue when
he scored his first hit as “Tarzan,”
but he did yell—and he has been
straining his vocal chords, ever since.
When audiences first heard the
long-drawn cry that shook chande-
liers in theatres all over the world,
there was an amazed disbelief. It
was incredible that any one could yell
that loud. It v as up to Weissmuller
to prove it before the filming of
“Tai’zan and His Mate,” his latest
adventure picture with Maureen O’- '
Sullivan to be shown Sunday and
Monday at the Leroy Theatre.
A few weeks after he finished
“Tarzan, the Ape Man,” the former
swimming champion was deluged
with invitations to attend social
functions. People insisted on meet-
ing the giant who had thrilled them
on the screen.
So Weissmuller shed his scanty
jungle garb and climbed into formal
evening dress with a hard-starched
front. The M-G-M studio would not
allow him to cut his hair. He comb-
ed his shaggy head into a semblance
of order and presented himself at his
first party.
When he strode through the door
to be presented to the guests, he
towered head and shoulders above
anyone in the room. Gasps were
heard from the feminine guests,
while the men present eyed his bulk
with some alarm.
Finally an old dowager seized
Weissmuller by the arm and led him
out on a veranda. He was happy to
get out of the crowd for a breath of
air. But the old lady continued to
lead him further out into the garden.
When they reached a secluded path-
way, the dowager suddenly seized
Weissmuller by the arm and whisper-
ed dramatically:
“Now, ‘Tarzan,’ let me hear you
yell!”
Within a few weeks after his in-
stallation as a regular member of the
Santa Monica Life Guard squad,
Weissmuller performed his first of-
ficial duty by rescuing Bob Wheeler,
aged twelve, from being crushed
against the pilings of Santa Monica
Pier.. The swimmer rendered first
aid to the youngster who gradually
regained consciousness. He opened
his eyes and looked at Weissmuller,
saying, “You’re ‘Tarzan,’ ” and then
fainted before the swimmer could get
enough breath to reassure him with
his famous yell.
His supi*eme vocal test occurred
at the LoS Angeles Shrine Auditori-
um, when he appeared before more
than 6,000 youngsters during a cele-
bration of “Boy’s Week.” The audi-
torium has the world’s largest stage
and it is almost a city block from the
footlights to the top row of the bal-
cony. When Weissmuller appeared
on the stage there was a terrific
clamor from the boys.
Weissmuller hesitated, filled his
lungs to their full capacity. His cry
came forth in a burst of sound that
filled every corner of the world’s
largest auditorium.
Audiences everywhere who know
the swimmer as the hero of the fam-
ous Edgar Rice Burroughs adven-
tures pictures are to enjoy another
treat in his latest feature, “Tarzan
and His Mate.”
Surpassing the first picture in
breath-taking thrills, the latest “Tar-
zan” adventure includes a cast of
such well known players as Maureen
O’Sullivan, Neil Hamilton, Paul Ca-
vanaugh, Forrester Harvey, Doris
Lloyd, William Stack, Desmond Rob-
erts and Nathan Curry. Cedric Gib-
bons, former studio art director,
turned his talents to picture direct-
ing for the new stoi*y.
