Chapter 10 ADVENTURE BEGINS - AT ANOTHER time, In New York, Frank had been yarning with s chicle uyer he had met ot the Explorer's Club. "Mexico," stated thlB man, "In old Porno Diaz's time "Bed to dump all their undesirables, all those con victed (or this, that and the other thing, down on the Quintan' Roo const.

He haJ a flair tor arch eology. "Therj are ruins In southern Mex ico," he had said, "that have never been located. Quantities ot them. The SmUlisoi! and the Peabody people believe they're there but have never gone after them. "They've got plenty to do with what they've already found. The Mexicans jvon't lootor 'em, nnd there's a good reason why. T (liana In Qulntana Roo don'i like Mexicans, even though they are Mexican citizens themselves. That's amusing. There's boon companies ot Mex soldiers cut up trying to get through that jungle, and they never did suctOd. "I've often thought," be con cluded, "that there's something dam' interestln' In that place something a white man wid like to see they ro so dam anxious to keep 'em out! ON A Ward liner, Balling south out ot Vera Cruz, Grahame thought of these things. The phrase "something interesting . . . some thing a white man would like to see" kept forming and recurring In his pjlnd, like a bright mot en- graved upon a knight's escutcheon Frank supposed that the HrBl qualification of every adventurer was curiosity. Curiosity to see what was on the other side of the fence, the other side of the hill, the other nlde of ihe world. This inqulsitlveness was as 'rch 'a part of him as his limbs; It was the basic mental equipment of tho?e who devoted their lives to research of any kino: It sent savants to their laboratories as well as farm lads down to their ships. White his heart was sore, he real ized that It as not Janice Kent who had sent him south. She had simply provided the stimulus ny denylng )lm hcrtelf and the tyu" of life thet was hers. She had been the stimulus; the discovery of Hilt Langton's fate was the objective. Frank's philosophy or exlslencu was not elaborate. One simply tri of the Normal school faculty, will be the principal speaker. "Devaluation of the Dollar" Is the theme of his address. "A Wise Investment," a play, will be presented. Miss Edith Darby and Miss Mae Stearns are co-chairmen, assisted by Miss Alice Kllppel, Mildred Pierce. Mrs. Cecil Ager and Mrs. Gene Walker. Camp Fire Girls Plan Candy Sale The Dorian Camp Fire group met Friday at the home of Miss Betty Wagner and during the business ses sion decided to hold a candy sale at a downtown store next Saturday.

Need in Movies Is For More Leading Men lly Hobhtu Coons HOLLYWOOD Much, as the film tuieut scouta i)njuiuval their unend ing pleas for new feminine beauty and personality, their major wail concerns the scarcity of young lead ing men. "There must be fewer young men entering the theatre nowadays than there used to be," concluded Max Ar now, casting director who returned recently from an annual trip to Broadway. ... Arnow found several now picture possibilities, but . tho only leading man he acquired was John. Eldredge, a San Francisco boy who will be here after doing one more play. During nlno days In the white -lighted show-case of the theatre, Ar now saw 31 plays, in. which there were many times 31 actors. . t. . It's KhiHlve . , It is no disparagement on. the ab!l ity of the players overlooked, , since what- talent scouts seek Is that vaguely doflncd thing labeled "screen personality." What roglstors on the stage does not necessarily register on the screen,. . - Enthusiasm over an actor'ti stage performance often dies as his screen test Is unreeled. A few foot of film, a row sound-tracked words, often are sufficient to decide the question. - "On the stage," as Arnow com mented, "an actor's faro occupies only a tiny fraction of the picture behind tho footlights. In. (pictures his foco may occupy the whole screen, and faults that don't matter on the stage are magnified,1 But a 'screen personality' will register Instantly. You con test hundreds without find ing one." A Hit Of Reasoning It is because variety la the spice of films en of life that the need for j leading men remains acute. "we nee a tnem xo vary tno appeal of our feminine stars' picturee,' Ar now said. "They -whet tlio fans in terest. For instance, wo To borrowing Joel McCrea to play opposite Barbara' Stanwyck. Fans, wo think, will wont to sco how they work togother, "There's always Interest In a now combination. Sometimes ouch a com bination proves so effective that we have a new team, and then w try to keep It together. But wo ca.i always use a good now loading man." Incidentally, If It bo thought that talent -scouting brings pleasure trips, Arnow thinks otherwise. Of the 21 plays he saw only eight In their en tirety. Of others he saw enough to got a look at all the players before dnahlug oil to another theatro to "catch remaining acte.' It Isn't ex actly "restful," ho said.
