FIR'T “HIM” ME
One of the pleasant memories of
the recent visit Outside by “Sis”
Rasmussen, was that with Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Reed, former res
idents of Seward, but for some
i years past of Hollywood.
Through the courtesy of Ed
ward Bernoudy, who will be re
membered by many here, and Mrs.
Reed, Miss Rasmussen was their
guest at the United Artists Stu
dio where their first “talkie” pic
ture “Bull-dog Drummond” was
being filmed. Mr. Bernoudy is an
assistant director and in this pic
ture assisted Director F. Richard
Jones, one of the most noted of
directors in filmdom.
Needless to say the event was
one of absorbing interest to the
visitors who were cautioned as to
making undue sounds. It was
said the falling even of a pin
was recorded with startling dis
tinctness and tho it did not sound
like a clap of thunder, neverthe
less its impact could be distin
guished.
The film was featured by Ron
ald Colman; other members of
the supporting cast included Joan
Bennett, Lillian Tashman, Law
rence Grant, Montague Love, and
others well known artists.
Mr. Reed, a member of the
Hollywood traffic division, and a
prominent member of the Holly
wood Athletic Club, as well as Mrs.
Reed, look forward to the day
when they may return to Seward
and make this city their perma
net home. This will be in about
seven years, it is said,'when Mr.
Reed is retired from his present
service. Thev have a lovely home
in Hollyv. , Miss Rasmussen
said, but are constantly longing
for the North where they spent so
many happy years among their
legion of friends.
