TJOLLYWOOD. Aug. 6—(U.R)—A
plowboy Cinderella who used to
ride to the ball on a sway-backed
mule now is a radio, record and
movie star who gets more fan mail
than Cinderella ever dreamed I
about.
Eddy Arnold’s rags-to-riches
climb has taken him from cotton
hoeing through carnivals, tent
shows and one-night stands to Hol-
wood where Columbia is starring
him in a western musical, "Feudin'
Rhythm.”
Fifteen years ago Eddy was pick-
ing cotton and plowing the soil on
a poor farm outside Henderson,
Tenn.
"1 had an old. beat-up guitar,”
he said, "but my brothers didn't |
take my singin' very seriously.
Every Saturday night they'd ride I
off to the candy breakings—that's I
1 wflrat they called the socials. They'd
leave me behind to clean up the
place.”
Arnold attacked his chores like |
an army of Dutch housemaids, j
Then, in his ragged shirt and
patched pants, he rode to town on I
the old mule, his guitar strapped
around his neck in an empty fer-
tilizer bag.
"Cinderella rode to her ball in a
beautiful carriage drawn by white !
horses,” Arnold chuckled, “but my i
old mule started and finished a
mule.”
Arnold's fairy godmother turned i
out to be the public. Everybody
who heard him sing liked him so
much that, over the last five years,
he has sold 8.000,000 records of his
songs.
He put out an Eddy Arnold song
book, 50 cents a copy, and he sells
85,000 copies of that a year. There's
an Eddy Arnold guitar-shaped pin,
El Reno (Okla.) Daily Tribune
also 50 .cents, and also selling close
to 100,000 a year.
He does radio shows and makes
personal appearances. He gets 5,000
fan letters a week. Now he has
a large farm close by the place
where he used to pick the cotton,
and he breeds Tennessee walking
horses as a hobby.
Arnold can't attribute his Cin-
derella story to a slipper like
Cinderella’s. When he started his
career, he went barefoot. Couldn't
afford any shoes.

Mover Is Asked
To Rest Sunday
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 6—</D
—Delmar the House Mover, whose
work on Sunday has annoyed
neighbors of Emerson school, will
be asked to take a rest.
John C. Pearson, jr., board of
education president, told other
members Friday that several calls
had been received about Delmar
pushing his demolition work on
Sunday.
“I talked with him and he asked
if he could work inside on Sunday,”
Pearson informed other board
members. “I told him it was no
order but asked if he couldn’t quit
on Sunday.”
“Let’s not tell him to stop work,
just ask him to,” suggested R.
Lewis Barton. “We are going to
need that school before long Let's
not tie up the work."

This is not a desert picture ... it is an expert adaption of Will
James’ famed novel of the same name. Set against the backdrop
of Colorado's rugged but scenic country. It outdoes "Smoky"
which was made from another James' novel. With horse sense
and love predominate, it leaves nothing to be desired ... by any
member of the family ... in the way of good, clean, outdoor
adventure. *
