Ham” Moore on Coquille
In the Oregonian
Penney9»
Some 19 years ago there was a
youngster in the Coquille schools
known as “Ham."
His name was
Harold A. Moore, and he was the son
of an osteopathic physician practis­
ing here. He is now living‘in Port­
land and write« the “Those Who
Come and Go” items which appear
on the editorial page of the Oregonian
daily. In last Sunday's issue Hal
Moore had a page in the magazine
section with a short story about the
ten towns in Oregon in which he had
lived. Following is his recollection of
Coquille as it existed two decades
ago:

Although “Grand Hotel” is now
history, Wallace Beery tarries at the
icene of his triumph in “Flesh,” hie
new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring
vehicle, which comes Sunday to the
Liberty Theatre.
Like “Grand Hotel,” thia gripping
drama of the wrestling ring opens in
Germany. But where the whole of the.
former story was laid in that country,
“Flesh” eventually brings Beery back
to America, where he finds the heart­
aches and joys of winning a world’s
championship.
A new motion picture team comes
to the screen with Joan Biondell and
Wallace Ford as the featured players
of an unusually strong cast in the
First National
picture,
“Central
Park,” which opens at the Liberty
Theatre next Wednesday.
No more ideal characters could
have been selected to play together in
the leading roles of this picture, which
is packed with thrills and romantic in­
terest. Both Miss Blondell and Mr.
Ford, In their days of trooping have
undergone the exact experiences of
the characters they represent. That
ia, both have been stranded and broke
in their varied careers before they at­
tained to substantial success, just as
it happens to the boys and girl in the
picture.
