He started acting because he wanted to become a critic. "I was more or less forced to stay in this business because nobody would give me a chance as a critic," he said. "I'm really sorry it worked out that way, particularly when I read a review of one of my performances." Stone is getting his first taste of Hollywood at Paramount studio, where he is recreating his role of Joey in "Stalag 17," Billy Wilder's film version of the Broadway hit.

It was while he was student at Northwestern University and writling drama reviews for the student newspaper, that he decided an acting background would be a good thing for him to have. That is why he organized the Pastime Players in his home town of Oak Park, and appeared in all its productions during summer vacations. No Job Open After getting a master's degree in drama from Yale, Stone went to new York with high hopes of becoming a critic for one of the leading newspapers. Everywhere he went the story was the same: he would have to start at the bottom and, with luck, he might become a drama critic in 10 or 15 years.

R. Turrentine of Russellville, Arkansas, announced recently.

The first reunion was held at Hillsboro, N. C. in 1941 and was attended by more than 250 persons, the second was at Lockesburg, Arkansas and 350 members of the family from ten states were present. It is hoped that 500 decendents will be at Shelbyville. The original settlers in the United States were Alexander and Samuel Turrentine who came to Philadelphia from Ireland on the Couli Kan in 1745.

They took land near what is now Chester, but, on the defeat of Braddock in the Indian wars fled with other settlers to North Carolina in 1755, where they became large landowners in Orange County. From here the decedents of the two brothers spread throughout America. Both brothers were strong supporters of the Revolution. Alexander served as a soldier eight years while Samuel contributed money and supplies to the Colonial troops and the new government. The family name, Turrentine, is distinctly Italian, the spelling originally being Turrettini and the name is found throughout Northern Italy and Switzerland today.

The American family, Turrentine, has directly traced kinship with the Turrettini family now prominent in Geneva, Switzerland, where, the family has had a continuous line of decedents since 1550. Dr. G. R. Turrentine, who is Registrar of the Arkansas Polytechnic College, at Russellville, Arkansas, has spent thirty years in assembling the history of the Turrentines.

He has been the main support of the Family Society with Mrs. Memory A. Lester, 414 East 52nd New York City who is President. Rev. Francis M.

Turrentine of Scottsville, New York, and Mrs. B. W. Robinson of Liberty, are Vive-Presidents. Mrs.

Turrentine, retired Methodist minister who is now ninety years age. His grandfather was one of the original settlers of this area of Tennessee.

The program for the reunion extends over the two days with a dinner at the Dixie Hotel Saturday evening. All members of the family will attend church services Sunday morning. A dedication of a monument to the family will occur in the afternoon. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs.
