Rae Samuels Heads
New R.K.O. Show

The same qualifications which
made Richard Dix's portrayal OF
Yancy Cravat memorable in the
epochal "Cimarron, are said to
carry him to equally great heights,
but in an entirely different type of
role, in Radio Pictures dramatic
Donovan Kid" coming to the
RKO Orpheum tomorrow.
Likewise, Jackie Cooper, who cap
tured the heart OF the world in his
famous "Skippy' role, proves that
he Is capable of enaeting heavy dra-
matte parts that go to the very
depths of human emotions even
more effectively than he did the
lighter and more humorous situa-
lions in "Skippy."
The new Orpheum vaudeville
brings no less celebrity than Rae
Samuels, "Blue Streak of Vaude-
ville," who, it is said. now is max
ing her final vaudeville tour prior
to retirement.
Miss Samuels is known through
out the show world for her comic
lyrics and the speed with which she
dispenses them.
Other features on the new stage
bill, including William Edmunds
and Company in Taking Movie
Test; Elmer Cleve, the Scotchman,
with Scotch jokes, stories and xylo-
phone numbers; and Wilson, KEEP
pei and Betty, dancers, are said to
provide program unusually abound
ing in comedy.

Fans Declare Tolan
Robbed OF Victory

PHILADELPHIA. = Opinion is
sharply divided over the outcome of
the feature 100-yard dash in which
Frank Wyckoff of Southern Califor-
mia, was declared the winner. over
Eddie Tolan of Michigan, on Frank
ling Field, Saturday.
Many in the press box directly in
front of the finishing tape were sur
prised when Wyckoff was announced
the winner as Tolan had plainly
won the race by stride. Even news
paper photos of the finish showed
the Michigan Splinter with his arms
outstretched in regulation fashion
showing distinctly that he was the
first to break the tape. The time
given. for the race by the press was
also erroneous. The running time
not 10 and 40 seconds as carried
by most journals, but 6-10 seconds
according to first timing announce
ment in the press box.

George Dixon Stops
Paul Delaney in Three

Two colored boxers appeared on
Druxman and Waterman's National
Athletic Club boxing show last night
at the Civic Arena. George Bear
cat) Baker, colored heavy of River
ton. lost a four-round decision to
Billy Shaw of Vancouver. Bearcat
fought good battle but he is yet a
very inexperienced boy. He has the
physique and punch; he needs to be
taught more skill and aggressiveness.
Georgia Dixon, colored middleweight
from Portland, stopped Paul Delaney
of Seattle in round three of a slated
six-round battle Dixon completely
outclassed Delaney. Dixon has ev-
erything. He is aggressive, skillful
and carries wallop in both hands.
Seattle fans would like to see Dixon
in more bouts. In the other bouts
Freddie Steele won a six-round call
from Jimmy Owens, b o I h welters.
Billy Petrie of Vancouver beat All
Wing Lee, Chinese lightweight, Red
Barbour and Tim O'Brien, middle
weights, fought four-round draw.
Druxman and Waterman gave the
fans an all-round good show.

Americans Make France
Worse Than England

LONDON.-Contrary to general
belief, color bars against Negroes
are raised more in France than in
England, according to Paul Robson,
noted singer and actor.
Mr.. Robson has announced his in
tenton to make England his home
because he is accorded more social
privileges and feels more Ike hui
man being there than any place else.
Because French hotels have come
to depend largely on American pat
ronage for their support, the color
line is more rigidly drawn there than
in England, according to Robson.
Where prejudice is practiced in
England it can be traced to the fact
that the managers are Americans or
because the majority of the patrons
of a particular hotel are Americans,
he said.
Robson expects to become an
English citizen and make his home
in London.

MIXED CAR
RULE help
TOSHIPPERS
Potato And Cabbage
Shippers Are
Benefited

The mixed car rule. which went
into effect this spring. has proved
a saving factor to the Valley in
view Of the uniformly unfavorable
prices for vegetables this year.
This opinion was expressed here
by j. +. Blanton, traffic manager
Of the Brownsville Chamber of
Commerce. who was a member Of
the Valley committee which secured
this mixed a rule.
The old rule provided that all
produce In a car take the rate OF
the highest vegetable In II.
The new rule provides that each
vegetable take its own rate.
The effect OF the new rule Is
shown IN the tremendous increase
IN mixed car movement during the
past two months. This year. with
the Valley as a whole about 5000
cars behind last year, mixed car
movement has already reached 6l00
cars. as against 500 for the entire
season of 1929-30.
Blanton said that the rule prov
ed a great help to potato grow
ers and to cabbage growers. About
as many car OF potatoes moved in
mixed a shipments this year as
straight cars. around l400 each.
Last season only a total of 800 cars
Of potatoes moved in mixed cars.
being almost barred by the fact
that they took a much higher rate
in mixed cars than in straight cars.
The cabbage shipped in mixed
CARROTS brought uniformly good re-
turns to growers and shippers, in
spite Of practically no price for
cabbage in straight cars during a
large part OF the season.
The great advantage in mixed
car shipments is that a car can be
made up and shipped to a snail
town. opening more markets, max
ing possible greater diversification.
and bringing a fair price for all the
commodities. since the markets arc
not glutted.
