HOLLYWOOD—Bobby Driscoll
differs from most 8-year-olds in
a crowd of older folk and tells a
story with the gusto of a Holly
wood veteran.
“Didjo know they re going to
make ‘The Lost Week-end’ over in
a shorter version? Yeah, and they
are going to call it just . . . ‘Hie’!”
Bobby is pug-nosed and freckle
faced and has two front “second”
teeth that are huge by comparison
with baby teeth on both sides of it.
He got into movies through his
barber, Bobby told me as we rode
to the Hitching Post theater,
which features western movies.
Bobby goes nearly every Satur
day afternoon, spending part of
his $1 weekly allowance.
“The barber’s son is an actor,
and the barber said I ought to have
a screen test, Bobby continued.
The son arranged it.
As a result Bobby was given
roles in “Lost Angel.” “The Sulli
vans’ 'and “Sunday Dinner for a
Soldier.”
, He recently completed the part
of Don Ameche’s and MyrnaLoy’s
son in “So Goes My Love.”
Bobby got six A’s and five B’s—
nothing lower—on his report card
at the Richland Avenue School.
“Also eight outstandings for de
pendability, accompli shment,
health habits and stuff like that,”
he said.
"I got only satisfactories in
courtesy and thrift.” Breezy Bob
by was just a bit rueful.
His nifty cowboy outfit was the
envy of many eyes at the Satur
day matinee, attended by some
300 youngsters.
“Frank Ryan, the director, gave
me these two guns and the holster
for Christmas,” Bobby confided.
“He’s wonderful. He gave my
stand-in an iron Superfort.”
Bobby says “wonderful,” a hard
working Hollywood adjective,
with the enthusiasm of a press
agent.
Bobby sat forward on the edge
of his seat, his cowboy hat dang
ling down his back from a striped
string, throughout the showing of
Buster Crabbe in “The Kid Rides
Again’ ’and Roy Rogers and Dale
Evans in “Sunset in El Dorado.”
We shared his charcoal gum.
Bobby pronounced the pictures
“swell.”
Over lemonades at the Brown
Derby, we continued the interview.
An only child, Bobby was born
in Cedar Rapids, La., and came
here with his parents 5 years ago.
His father, Cletus L. Driscoll.
owns an insulation firm.

Oh yes, as to the future—Bob-1

by said movie acting is all right
for now but some day he wants to j
be an FBI agent.
Military Courts
Cannot Try
Civilians
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25, i^P)—
The Supreme Court ruled, 6 to
two that the military courts es
tablished under martial law in
Hawaii, after the Pearl Harbor
attack, lacked the authority to
try civilians. The court ruled on
appeals by two civilians, who
were sentenced by military courts
to terms.
Both of them are now entitled
to be released in custody. One of
the civilians, a ship fitter, em
ployed in the Pearl Harbor navy
yard, is acused of assaulting two
Marine sentries in violation of a
general order issued by the mili
tary governor of Hawaii. The
other civilian is a Honolulu stock
broker, accused of embezzling the
funds of a customer in violation
ol the 1935 law of the Territory.
Justice Black delivered the
court’s majority decision. Burton
wrote the dissent, in which Frank
furter concurred. Jackson took no
part in the case.
She—My flat is on the third
floor—No. 17. Put your elbow
against the bell button and push
hard.
He—Why my elbow? Can’t I
push with my finger?
She—Surely you’re not coming
empty-handed, are you?
