EDITOR EEDY OF ST. MARYS WRITES OF TRIP IN SOUTH The following letter was written by Mr. Lome Eedy, editor of the St. Marys Journal-Argus, who accom­ panied by Mrs. Eedy is on a trip through California. on El is of live had that An- Pasadena, March 23rd. We visited the animal farms Friday, Gay’s Lion Farm at Monte, fifteen miles from here, advertised' as the only institution its kind in the world. Gay started the farm sixteen years ago with three lions, has sold a lot of them to cir­ cuses, menagaries, and zoos, and still has two hundred and thirty left. The lions are full grown at eight years and weigh about five hundred pounds. We called at feed­ ing time when the hungry brutes were roaring and pawing the ground or rather floor. -Some of the big fellows had the hardwood floors of their feeding cages scraped half way through by their wild antics. A floor lasts only, eight months. I was glad to be on the outside of the cages and a few feet away. There are no tame lions. These big cats can be trained but never trusted too far. Our guide went into a cage and made some of the big cats step around a bit. They give him ugly looks and growled fiercely. At last we were shown a friendly little baby, lion only five weeks old. The trainer held it in his arms like a kitten. Mrs. Eedy was permitted to touch it while she at the same time made a wish. Suddenly there was a noise with started the baby lion and it was all snarls and claws. The keep­ er quickly grabbed it tight and rush­ ed the ferocious babe back to its pen Gay draws a movies. All films are his of various pointed-out to us. Our visit to the aligator farm, a few miles distant, was also quite a novel experience. At this time of the year the alligators are a bit slug­ gish. And there they were lying in piles, like a catch of fish in a fishing tug. They looked like graven im­ ages, giving no sign of life until the keeper made a noise or offered food ■when they would scurry around fast enough. We were shown alligators all the way from a few weeks to 17 5 years old. They reach adulthood at twenty-two years keep on growing, tile on the farm long. Alligators est beast imaginable. It is very dif­ ficult to get a perfect specimen as five out of every six are lacking an eye, a few toes, or perhaps a leg or two, Most of the reptiles in this alligator farm were captured in the swamps of Georgia or some south­ ern state. And quite a lot more were bred on the premises. The ostrich farm across the road has scores of those famous birds. They stand about six and a half feet tall and strut up and down their yard like a Fifth Avenue high-step- per. At this season the- ostriches are moulting and look rather dumpy There was no temptation to grab a plume. large income from the the lions shown in the and some of the heroes stage pictures were of age but always The biggest rep- was fourteen feet are the fighting- Pedestrians Get a Break heard that Emerson Paynter, Blanshard boy, was sick in the Angeles General Hospital and I old Los decided to go down and see him. As jt was a ten or twelve mile, drive down, I took the precaution of phon­ ing to find if he was still there, glad I phoned first as ihe had left the hospital and it saved me a drive. My impression of the Los Angeles traffic is ’that is it heavier even than New York’s. Traffic is regu­ lated but in a different way from ours which makes it a bit confusing at first. For one thing, the pedes­ trians get a break in California. Signs order the motorist to stop if there are foot passengers crossing at the marked line. Oblique park­ ing has become obsolete. It makes the street thoroughfare too narrow, as we too are finding! out in St. Marys. Ever since the movies have gone in for “sound.” it is practically im­ possible for an outsider to get into a movie studio while a film is being shot. A lttle noise or distracton may cost the producers thousands of dollars. Through a financial assoc­ iate, Ern Roberts was able to obtain for us at the Paramount Studios and the fact that we are in the newspap­ er business appeared to win us a welcome at the studio. Crashing the Movies Our instructions were to report at the paramount Studios in Holly­ wood at 11 a.m. We drove over from .fdrl'ivitig a WZ to’K carl- ller to look around a bit and get th lay of the land. We hadn’t the faintest idea what a movie studio looked like. But when we arrived at the proper street we saw a great sign, “Paramount .Studios” and be­ hind it a block of stucco buildings surrounding an inner you iron. The city two off from outside view by the solid string of offices and various depart­ mental building^ covering the entire outside of the four sides of the pro­ perty. We located the sign, “Publicity Office,” a few rods to the right of ' the main entrance on the street. A court which could scarcely glimpse through gates with'a .guard in charge, block is perhaps as big as four blocks, covering about twenty­ acres. The inner court is cut capable looking woman was in charge' in the lobby and to get by her we had to show that we had an appointment to meet the Publicity manager at eleven o’clock. It was some time before he could be locat­ ed, some time before the necessary red tape gone through. During this wait Mrs. Eedy and I were given chairs in the office of the Publicity manager, Mr. Terry De Lapp, a and interesting young man who secured his early training on outstanding newspaper the Los geles Times. While we were waiting Mr. De Lapp asked questions about Canada and also queried us abo.it wTio were the most popular movie stars up -here, a question upon which we were not too well informed. He showed us the publicity department, a large room with perhaps- fifteen or twenty desks, all of those occu­ pants have had experience in news­ paper work. Mr. De Lapp veiy kindly gave us a, personal letter of introduction to his old boss, the managing editor of the Los Angeles Times. city. The were the We were of Jack also Mae Saw Them Shooting Scenes (Shortly after eleven o’clock we were turned over to Mr. Lionel Palmer, a youthful member of Para­ mount staff, who conducted us thro’ an inner door into the inside court of Paramount where we found our­ selves ini a city within a buildings along the* way dressings rooms of stars, pointed out the quarters Oakie, Fred (McMjurray, West. (We overlooked, her invita­ tion to come up and see her some­ time.) We went into the building where they were shooting a musical show. A young girl was seated at a piano. On her were focused great cameras, and the eyes of the direct­ or and a score of others while she sang some love ditty, with a fond youth, draped over’ the piano, lis­ tening with soulful eyes. It seemed to us that the girl would require a good deal of poise to carry through such a situation. No doubt they get used to it. We had luncheon in the big Para-" mount dining room at the centre of lot, which seats two or three -hun­ dred people. Did I say that Para­ mount employs, a couple of thousand people on the lot? At the next small table sat Rochelle Hudson and Fred McMurray. After uncheon Mr. Palmer took us. to see some of the sets representing various street scenes which have been used in many well-known pictures. We also went in to see them shooting a forth-coming circus picture, direct­ ed by W. C. Fields, facour pioneer minstrel. There are over a hun­ dred characters in this play which will be shown in a few months. Grand Canyon, Arizona Mar. 26, 1936 What do you think!

He started saving again but it was tough sledding the past few years.
