G-e99, Chicago, Where the youth of Buddy's home town, in summer, exercises its emotions, and where, in winter, it does its muscles. It is the Arcadia open-air theater in Olathe. During the winter months the high school basket-ball team practises in it B. H. Rogers' Boy {Continued from page 37) 80 might earn as much as a hundred and twenty-five. When they told me it was a week's salary, I couldn't believe it. "What would they pay all that money for?" I kept asking. The other boys I knew always planned to stay in Olathe when they grew up and drive a delivery wagon or clerk for their fathers. But somehow I felt that something big was going to happen to me, as it has. Only I supposed it would be my music. I played a cornet in the boys' band that D. R. Ott got up when I was eight years old. When I was ten I was playing in the men's band, Thursday evenings in summer in Courthouse Square. When I wont to college I earned a lot with my own band, and instead of writing home to ask for spending money I used to send money to mother sometimes. Dad's Church Record MAYBE I had better tell something about Olathe. It's twenty miles from Kansas City. The country round about is very flat and planted to wheat. There's plenty of snow in the winter to slide on but no hills to coast down. Hyer's boot and shoe factory is the big business of the town. They manufacture cowboy shoes, and there's still a big demand for the fancy carved ones for rodeos and for the movies. We kids used to buy misfit shoes and play cowboy. Park Street, the main business street, has the big Grange store where you can get everything from a tuxedo to a toothpick. Besides that the town has three banks, four drug stores, a lot of restaurants. Masonic Hall — Dad is a Shriner — and two other newspapers besides "The Mirror," "The Register" and "The Democrat." And the town has thirteen churches, yes, sir. Almost all kinds of religion. Dad hasn't missed a. single church or Sunday School for eleven years, except the one time when he came out to Hollywood to make a visit. I forgot to say there is a colored section across the railroad track. Old Andy, the darky barber, ran the town barber shop for years, and gave my father and me both our first shave. But last time I was home I saw the shop had changed hands. It may sound as if nothing much ever happened in Olathe but I guess we had as much excitement as bigger towns. There was the time when I was a kid that somebody discovered blood all-over the floors of the old rubber mill down by the creek. They had all the men in town drafted to stand guard nights, and sent for detectives from air over the state to unravel the murder. Nobody was missing from town to have been murdered but there was plenty of excitement — till some school kids confessed that they had killed a chicken and scattered its blood round to start something. Then we had a real murder once. A farm hand in StilKvell, a town nearby, killed a farmer and his wife and threw their bodies down a well. They caught him as he was making his way to Kansas City, hiding in the fields, and brought him to Olathe, which was the county seat, to be tried. But two days after, a mob of masked men broke down the jail doors and hanged him to a telephone pole eight blocks away from our house. The Honeymoon Judge AND we had a judge in Olathe who would marry anybody who came to his house if they had five dollars. Kids under the legal marrying age would ride out from Kansas City on the Interurban and get married, and their fathers would come out on the next Interurban and make a great fuss around town. They called him The Honeymoon Judge, and wrote him up in all the papers, even as far as New York. He's out of office now. Oh, there was always plenty happening in Olathe. As much as in Hollywood, if you know what I mean. I know the most exciting times I've had since I started in the movies have been when I went back home and met everybody, and spoke at pep meetings in high school chapel, and went to Rotary and Kiwanis luncheons and went up and down Park Street dropping in at the furniture store and the jewelers and I. H. Hershey's butcher shop and shaking hands. Everybody'd call up "The Mirror" and say, "Why hasn't Buddy been in at our store?" They all wanted to ask about the movies and the stars, but they had a lot of news to tell me too, about things that happened in Olathe: strawberry festivals at the church and dances at Masonic Hall. Maybe it wouldn't seem so exciting to me if I stayed more than a few days — still, it's funny, but none of the boys 1 went to school with seem to envy me. Not one of them has asked me to get him into the movies. They earn twenty-five or thirty dollars a week and they seem to ha\c as much as Holly^vood stars do: a car, and good clothes and money in their pockets. Money seems to buy more in Olathe.
