Vv THAR'S LEISURE IN THAT THERE BEARD! Wooley is woolly because Woolley is wiley. Which is one of saying that the Monty Woolley countenance sports a luxuriant beard being the result of shrewd calculations and not accident or ego. The story came out during the fil- ming of 20th Century- -Fox’'s “Irish Eyes Are Smiling,” the technicolor musical, starring Monty, June Haver, and Dick Haymes, that will be the attraction at the Grand Theatre, in Patton next Sunday and Mondey. Af- ter watching Haymes shave between scenes, Woolley came forth with the following anouncement, in his inimi- table manner, “You and the world may laugh at my bewhiskered mein, but I hereby present unalterable evidence that pro- ves that you, and all other self-tor- turing males, should allow your face to sport its normal crop of whiskers.” “It took yiu fifteen minutes to shave, that’s about average. 1 have not shaved in 18 years—and accord- ing to my arithmetic, although I ad- mit it may be slightly inaccurate, that totals a time saving of almost 3 years. Just think of all the extra sleep, all the extra play, I've had— not to mention money saved on razor blades, cream, lotions, iodine and ban- dages, or wear and tear on my al- ready taxed disposition.” ‘For hope shall brighten the days to come And memory gild the past’ * hk kk kf % * Free men can hope and plan and achieve—and we Ameri- cans are free!
