T. q,
SHANGHAI, March 21.-
Shanghai has fallen to the
Cantonese, and British troops
have been fired upon By
Chinese soldiery. The Chinese
section of the city was eccu-
pied All noon TODAY the vie
torious nationalists who are
driving all opposition before
them.
Previously they had occu.
pied Lunghwa, a suburb, and
they then quickly took posses
sion of several districts in the
main sections of Shanghai
itself.
United States marines we're
landed today and given the
extreme eastern section of the
international settlement to
guard.
Grim Scenes Enacted
A state of emergency has been
declared.
The Shantung troops are le-
treating toward Woosung, 20
miles down the Yangtse River,
from Shanghai.
Grim scenes were enacted at the
railroad stations today as a he
suit of the evacuation Of the de-
feated troops. The Shangtungites
are forcing their way at the point
of pistols, and are impressing
what help is needed. One officer
ruthlessly beheaded a coolie with
his sword when the coolie was
slow in moving the officers bag
gage.
RED" Riots Started
British troops guarding the inter.
national settlement were fired upon
by retreating Shantung soldiers a
few hours after the Cantonese had
taken over the city.
This action occurred when the
British guard refused the Shang-
tungites permission to enter the
international settlement.
Disorders growing out Of the
general strike declared simultane-
ously with the fall of Shanghai to
the Nationalist, are spreading
rapidly.
Evidence Of the chaotic conditions
that rule in the native city was

Romance Of a
Movie-Mad
FIapper
CHAPTER I

Hollywood. She was
born right here in this
very town in a white house
that stands far out on Locust
Street, behind a neat hedge
and a square of green grass.
And she lived there for %
years before she ever set foot
in Hollywood-that city Of
stars and studios!
Her name was Roberta
Ruth Ransom, and Bobbie
for short.
That is, her father called
her Bobbie, and so did An
drew Jerrold, who was in
love with her.
To the little girls and boys
of the first-reader room at
Locust Street School she was
known as "Say, Teacher"
and Miss Ransom. "
1t was sarcastic Aunt Ger
trude. who nicknamed her
"the Hollywood girl = For,
though you would never have
Nguessed it to look at her,
Bobbie was movie-struck.
Movie-Mad
She was. She was one of the
thousands and thousands of girls
all over this broad country--from
Portland, Me-. to Portland. Ore
who are wildly eager to break
into the movies.
There never was q week when
she did not go at least twice to
the nearest moving picture show.
and sit there lost to the world for
two hours.
There was never single mo-
tion picture magazine that she
missed. She bought every one
on the market. and she read them
all from cover toScover,
She could tell you off-hand
what year John Gilbert was born.
why Marian Davies bobbed her
hair, and that the real name Of
Mary Pickford ID Gladys Smith
Fairbanks. -
The walls OF her bedroom IN
the Locust Street house were COM
pletely covered with photographs
of the famous stars Ofs the silver
screen.
And daily she prayed to the !.
god Of Things-As -They-O Ought To-
BE that somehow or other she
might get to Hpllywp0d-to the
colorfuI little motion picture town
that lies like q bright jewel be-
tween Hollywood Junction and
Beverly Hills.

She. was only u and she looked
much younger. The more she
tried to brush her hair down
smoothly on her cunning head, the
more wildly it curled up into vel
low gold rings. The corners Of
her mouth turned up gayly, and
there was a starry twinkle far
back in her deep eyes, always,
She was that prettiest thing on

eligible, provided they have not
sung for pay outside of their own
community.
To those singers it opens the
door of opportun.ty-posSibly to
national fame and great rewards.
In the finals--the National Au-
dition-five prizes will be awarded
to women and five to men. The
two winners of first place, man
and woman, will each receive a
gold decoration, $4,000 in cash, and
two years tuition in a leading con-
scrvatory. Winners of second prize
viii each receive $4,000 in cash and
one years tuition. Winners of
third prize will each receive $3.50.
The plan provides for every com
n,unitv to enter its best singers in
a State Radio Addition: the state
winners will compete at a District
addition of which there will be five
in the United States; and district
winners will go to New York city
for the final national addition.
Winners Of the local contest will
get at least as far as Los Angeles,
and stand chance to be the one
out of about 20 to be sent to the
district addition, with the POSSIBLE
ity of being one of the five young
men and five young women to 20
70 New York City. 1t will cost
nothing.
Noted Musicians Help
Ten days ago Mr.. Todd received
ly air mail an invitation to organ
ize a committee to select the young
nan and woman to represent us.
Since then the correspondence has
been by air mail and wire.
Mrs. Carrie Jaco.bs-Bond is chair
man of the committee for Southern
California. Mrs. Edgar Stillman
Kelley, president of the National
Federation of Music Clubs, is chair
man of the national committee.
Charles Wakefield Cadman, Walter
Bamroseh, Mrs. Medill Mccormick
and others of national reputation
are cooperating in the plan.
Imperial Valley has until the
twentv-fifth of this month to select
two singers. For further informa
ton regarding the contest, inter
ested parties are advised to watch
the papers, or inquire of Elmer A.
odd, director of the Imperial Val

Speculation is rife as to the
