Adventurous Black brothers end river voyage near home
Wayne and Gerald Black, nine and eleven, reportedly set out from West Monroe on a 300 mile trip to New Orleans using a borrowed ten horsepower motor. After drifting downstream for about two days, Ouachita Parish Sheriff Bailey Fin landed near the boys, escorted them ashore, and returned them to their mother and juvenile officer. They said they were tired and hungry, having eaten wild berries and endured mosquito bites.

He says a movie star must know his face and talents, avoid conceit, and that false publicity misleads the public about actors. He notes the ego is punctured once a bad performance is seen on screen. He also claims he has never met an actor who was a heel.
