Marriage and Not Magic or Glamour
Attracted Mrs. Sadler to Stage Life
By C6ZETTE McDANIEL
E
"It isn't the glamor of footlights
that holds mo to tho stage and show
life" confides Mrs. Sadlor ''of tho
Harloy Sadlor Entertainment com-
pany which played at the Abilene
Fair Park auditorium last week. "Nor
Was it that maglfl that nttracted me
to it" she continued with a smile
"You see I married into it." How-
ever she admits that tho stage muat
hold somo strange power because.
although actors are called transit
pcoplp and change from company to
company almost without oxecptjon
none of them really quit tho show
business.
Tho often used or misused
phrase "tho Show must go on" has
not lost its pathos or appeal to those
individuals connected with show life.
Of courso there aro emergencies.
Only a few years ago whllo playing
in Houston it was necessary for Mrs.
Sadler to finish a performance whllo
her littlo daughter was being carried
sovercly burned fto a .hospital. "It
was hard" sho admitted "but the1
show couldn't stop."
Most companies have numerous
humorous stories of back stago acci-
dents last minuto disappearances of
players and. other things that make
frantic producers tear their hair and.
turn impatient audiences Into 'panics
but it seems that there are few such
incidents connected with this show. It
is tpo well organized for such mis-
haps to occur often; because although
they furnish wonderful fcaturo pub-
licity material they also break up tho.
morals) of tho cast.
Mrs. Sadler with her striking and
pleasing personality impresses one
dcplto denial as. a person to whom tho
luro of tho stago docs mako Its ap-
peal. Without that lovo common to
members of all companies how could
sho so well understand her cast?

THREE WILDCATS TO
DON UNIFORMS FOR
LAST GAME THURSDAY
(Continued from Pago 1.)
has nover phased his battling power.
.Wortham is rated as one of the best
centers in the T.I.A.A. nnd tomorrow
will prove that his ability will mako
him worthy of an all conference
berth. He has been an inspiring lead-
er always leading his men into the
battle wholeheartedly.
D. H. Moycrs has also seen four
years of service for tho Purplo nnd
.White as a backficld Wildcat. After
suffering injuries since tho game with
McMurry he will bo physically fit to
start in the line-up of the last game
of his college career. In each game in
which he has played ho has shown
tho true spirit of thoso.flghtlng Wild-
cats. "Moon" Black' will witness tho
last football game of his collcgo days
from tho sideline due to n broken leg
received in tho Tech game. Black has
come -in handy this fall as 'quarter-
back with Kcycs out with a broken
leg nearly all season nnd has made"
a first rate field general.
"Bud" Hill formerly one of Cor-
dell Christian College's greatest'
fighters on tho gridiron since enter-
ing A.C.C. two years ago has dis-
played a spirit that has proved more
than valuable to A.C.C.'s battling line.
'Three Da'ys'lri Thd'tifir'of a City
was E W. McMlllap's subject in hi
sermon Sunday night. ''Jerusalem'
ho 4alUr"is a ci'ty Mjfpti'r Jhpusond
years' history."
"The first .day ot its Jlfe was tho
day of opportunity. In the samo
manner in tho Hfo of man there is n
day of opportunity. Jerusalem also
had its day of blindness when it
would not rocognuo tho Christ. Man
too has his. day of blindness." The
last day given in tho life of Jerusa-
lem was tho day of doom. Accord-
ing to Brother McMillan wo too
will havo our day of doom if wo do
not turn to Christ.
Our opportunity is tho open Bible
nnd . continued' preaching. Our day.
of blindness comes when we turn
away and refuse to see. Our day of
'doom is tho day in which because of
out continued dolnyi wo. cannot turn
ifrom evil.

The cane and armbands which were
carried and worn by the Kitten Klub
members at tho last game were pre-
sented to tho club by Mlnter Dry

Mr. George Harwell representative
from Mlnters mot with tho girls at
their daily practice Inst Friday nnd
gave each girl a enno nnd un arm-
band. Mr. Harwell announced that
any student not in tho pep squad and
wishing a enne that ho may purchncc
one at Mintor's for lBccnts.
Beauty without virtue is like a.
flower yithout tho perfume. t rom

It's the Hoots of tho Owl that
make tho "gooseflesh crawl." That
is n nice little adage the Owl thought
up during his more serious thinking
moments. It niny not mean anything
to dome of you readers.
'
But some of these dapper co-eds
and horse-faced whatnots would do
well to pnste that bit of wisdom on
their mirrors and look nt It occa-
sionally. It -might snvo both them
nnd the press a little embarrassment.
Tho Owl overhenrd a conversation
backstage soon after the Inst curtain
for "Tho Millionaire." It rnn some-
thing like this:
1st speaker: "I truly think the last
fow minutes of the last scene of the
third net shoVild havo been rohenrsed
sevcrnl times more."
2nd speaker: "I can't see It that
wnyj the conclusion seemed to have
been perfect from where I wns sit-
ting." Alfred Wells this elongated actor
from Cow Town surely is a fast
worker. He can bo a pauper one
minute then tho next be a million-
aire nnd nlso bo proud owner" of u
ranch in Australia. Ho can get into
moro and out in two hours than the
average can in two years and if
hots as good off the stage as he is
onj I making love then he'll get over
big. The'-Owl wants to know whore
Alfred wns when tho curtain was
pulled. Now ho may bo a fast actor
and all that but tho Owl is rather
speedy with the pen. I believe tho
address is Memphis Texas is it not?
Dean Aloxander affectionately call-
ed "America's Sweetheart" by tho
young ladles Just naturally has a
constitutional susceptibility to tho
girls. Ho is a constant caller in the
girls' dormitory. As they used to nay
back in tho early day "He's just
broke out with Come Hither." (ad-
vertisement). November 27 means Turkey Day to
somo folks but it means Wildcats and
bnd dreams to tho Daniel Baker Hill
Billies.
Professor Bell Discusses
"Thanksgiving" In Chapel
"Thanksgiving" wns tho subject of
R. C. Bell in his chapel talk Satur-
day morning. Brother Bell gavo three
ways In which wo exhibit our thank-
fulness: words looks and actions.
Professor Bell believes Hint the
first impulse of a great heart is grat-
itude. He says that we should bo
thankful'for everything that we havo:
for home health and happiness; but
most of all we should be thankful for
Jesus.
