Dolores del Rio resumes the
state of single blessedness. The
laws delays are almost over and
her divorce will be granted dur

Dolores insists that she will play
a lone hand and that reports Of

This star from below the border

Mr.. Lasky explained that when
the matter of the invitation show
ing was first discussed ne antici-
pated a small hall with a rather
limited audience. He has a mild
voice. pitched in the tenor tones
and with just ordinary volume.
His task was to make gracious
and generous acknowledgment
to the Secretary of War and
other Government officials for the
cooperation extended in the max.
ing of this picture.
When Mr.. Lasky then produced
a six page speech which embodied
his gratitude in more format
words slight uneas1ness was
manifest. After he had been
reading a moment or two hand
clapping began in the far reaches
of the balcony. 1t said palmer
than words, "What we want is
the picture and not speeches
which are inaudible."
Mr.. Lasky stopped. His hand
clutching the manuscript was
trembling slightly. He expressed
regret that all could not hear, his
words. but said that he had a
duty to perform, and that he pro-
posed to fulfill his task. Then.
with but one other similar inter-
ruption, and this discourtesy
mingled with Kisses, Mr.. Lasky
rendered each government offlclal
who had assisted in the prepare.
tion of wings a personal word
of appreciation.
1t was the only disturbing
note in what was gala evening
and a thoughtless minority was
responsible. Paramount brought
down a copy of its ace film from
New York. 1t fitted the picture
with a new set of titles so that
an abundance OF 100 per cent
America Qualification. might not
offend foreign diplomats in the
audience. A symphony or
chestra Of fifty pieces came
down from Broadway with all the
appurtenances for fine musical
establishment to a great film.
The Auditorium was beautifully
decorated with flags and flowers.
A handsome and enlightening
souvenir program was given to
each guest. Charles Buddy Rog-
ers, the star of the film occupied
a stage box and mingled with
the distinguished folks present.
John Monk Saunders, author of
Wings and his pretty wife were
in attendance and took a bow.
Paramount did its bit handsomely
and well earned the glowing
thanks which Mr.. Essary con-
veyed in happy words. And for
all OF these things Mr.. Lasky was
mainly responsible. He deserved
a better reception.
On the other hand Maj. Gen.
Charles P. Summera1l. Army chief
of staff. showed a booming voice
with a volume that echoed in
Georgetown. The general got a
laugh when his first words pro-
vided vivid contrast. He
vouched for the authenticity and
the closeness to realism of the

West Palm Beach, Fla, Sept. 26 R-While the ashes of funeral pyres still smouldered in parts of the Florida hurricane swept area today, an appeal had come to the national headquarters of the Ameri- can Red Cross at Washington for fund of t12.O00.000 to be sub scribed by the American people for permanently rehabilitating the deva- stated section.
 Funeral pyres cast ghostly as- pect over sections of the Everglades in the Okeechobee section last night as workers cremated bodies washed up by the flood which followed the storm more than | week ago. Gre nation was resorted to in an ef- fort to improve sanitary conditions. In the Belle Glade section yesterday l65 bodies were burned. it was re- ported here.
 The appeal to the National Red Cross was made by the Palm Beach county chapter in formal report of the hurricanes toll. which placed the number dead at over 2S00 and refugees at 12,200. who lost their all in the blow and subsequent flood of Lake Okeechobee.
 While means of alleviating the situation were being worked out. the remaining citizens bent all ef- forts toward bringing order out of the chaos.
 Intermittent showers during the week and heavy rains yesterday added to the discomfort of the resi- dents, many of whom had not had time to rebuild the roofs which were blown from their homes.
 "A complete tragedy" was the way the situation was described by A. A. D. Kahn. chairman of . survey committee for the imperial council of Masons. Mir. Kahn has recommended that funds be furnish ed by the organization for the re- lief work. ,...

 Meanwhile in the coast county here, and across Lake Worth at Palm Beach. hope was held out in report that the water in some places vas receding gradually. and that the Palm Beaches likely would not feel the effect of the storm on its coming winter season.
