FRIDAY, 18TH,
CAN'T SCARE
MISS DUNNE

Today is Friday. the thir-
teenth. 2
Josephine Dunn, the beautiful
blonde vampire who plays in
Red Hot Rhythm" which opens
ct the Rialto Theater today,
wrote a special delivery cir mail
letter to the theater from her
home on the West Coast, in
which she says in part:
Glad you are opening my
picture on the thirteenth. That
is my lucky number. There are
Just 13 count 'ernJ letters in
my name and ! got my first big
start in life when ! was selected
to join a F'lorenz ziegfeld show
on September 13. / have spent
some time looking into this
'hoodoo' and there isn't really
anything to 1t"
Miss Dunn follows with quite
a bit of interesting information
on the Well-known "13" super
stition. Boiled down it is
chiefly as follows: The supersti-
ton goes back to Morse myth
ology. Baldur was the god of
love. Loki was the god of evil.
There were IL good gods in Val
halla. Loki, the thirteenth god,
was q bad actor. Finally the
good gods voted LoH out Of Val
halla. Then came the big annual
dinner of the gods. OF course.
Mr.. Loki wasn't invited. When
the festivities were under way,
Loki popped in looking for
trouble. He had his bow and ar
rows with him. And he up and
shot Mr.. Baldur right through
the heart before taking his
leave. II you remember your
mythology, LOki made use Of q
mistletoe arrow, so II you take
stock in the "l3" hoodoo you'll
never kiss q maiden underneath
the mistlteoe.
When this story of the trouble
In Valhalla leaked out, several
hundred years later. of course,
folks began to think that 13
was an unlucky number. Par.
ticularly when folks sat down
to eat. Because the tragedy oc-
Cured at the Valhalla dinner.
BY the time Leonardo da
Vinci began to acquire fame as
d painter, the "13" superstition
had become pretty well estab-
lished. It was given new
strength when his painting
''The Last Supper" was given to
the world. This painting shows
the Master with six disciples
sitting about the table. There
are six on either side of Him.
Upon viewing this great paint
ing. folks at once referred to
the "13" superstition. having in
mind tthe great tragedy that
occurred Immediately folio wing
that farewell feast. And a per-
usal of the history of the paint
ing will show that it had a
great deal to do with strength
ening the belief that "13" was
a wicked number.
Miss Dunn started 'sThir-
teen' club at the Coast and
only those may join who have
13 letters In their names. There
is quite an extensive member
ship.
In closing Miss Dunn laughs
at the prevalence Of the super
stition. She states that in
France it is so serious that n1
streets are numbered "13."
They go to IL and then the
next street is Rue i21a. There
are no No. 13 rooms in the no
tells. In France also there is a
great society Of folks who make
their living by being the four
teenth guest at great din ers.
These people call themseiye
The Fourteens" and hold hem
selves in readiness to be the
fourteenth guest at a moments
notice. In that country guests
will not sit down at a table
where there are Is people.

Howard made the annoying dis

Anna has lived In comparative

progressing splendidly until the
doctors discovered her leg had
not been set as skillfully as 1t
should. They are endeavoriIlg
to save her from another opera

Nilsson has undergone 50 much
grief. From the selfish view
point, this bureau resents 1t as
her injury has kept her off the
