Ona Munson presented a silver
loving cup to Jockey Eddie Wat
tiers yesterday and the National
Players Handicap race result was
duly recorded in the Bowie track
archives.
The ingenue of the National
Players, for whom this race was
named, looking very lovely, saw
Phantom Legion gallop to victory
from a vantage point in the C.
V. Whitney clubhouse box. Then
escorted by a battery of photog-
rapherS Miss MunSon went to the
judges stand and while the
camera shutters clicked presented
the plate significant of victory
to Pilot Walters.

Shake-U Looms

Loew's, Inc, will take over the
Washington Fox theater early
in June, according to Variety,
Under the plan, Loew's Palace
will play straight pictures and
Loew'S stage shows will be shifted
to the larger capacity Fox. The
Columbia, after some remodeling,
would be devoted to second run
pictures under 25-centS-at-all-
times policy.
That is the lineup now being
discussed in show circles and aired
in Variety. In Washington no Of
ficial confirmation of these plans
is available. They seem logical,
including the announcement that
Loew's acquires the Fox by aSSum-
ing the 20-year lease held by
the National Press Club Building
Corporation.
Loew's Palace is among the
most prosperous theaters in the
United States. 1t has had less
than half a dozen losing weeks
since it opened. The Columbia is
also a tremendous money winner
due to good pictures and low
operating cost, but it is anti
quated. The Fox cathedral has
made little money for Fox. In

About Those Ages

This department has been so
often besieged for information
concerning the correct age of
picture and stage stars it might
be just as we'll to state right now
reliable statistics on such sub
jects are hard to acquire.
1t has become the practice OF
Frank La Falce, Bill Ewing, Lew
Brown, Eddy Gilmore and others
to submit biographical data as to
birth thusly: Miss So and So
was born on April IA, etc" Dis
creetly the publicists omit the
year leaving the sum total of use
full information less but reducing
the opportunity for argument.
Strictly on the OF my system
is to add ten years to the an
nounced age of all girl stars.
The result, I am almost certain,
is close to the truth. After all
stars prefer to remain young as
long as possible. Now you know.

All Quiet Cans
To Be Recalled
For SEQUEL
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1892. by King Features
Syndicate Incl

HOLLYWOOD, April 6.-With
the exception of Lew Ayres, all
the young players of "All Quiet
on the western Front" will be
recalled by Universal for Re
marques sequel, The Road
Back"
This, at least, is Carl Laemmle,
jr.'s present intent. OF course,
if the actors are unavailable, sub
stitutions will have to be made.
AS to AyreS, Junior feels it
would be a mistake bring him
back to life for the new story.
And while some may disagree, I
believe he's right. The death Of
Paul was, for me, one of the
most poignant moments of the
screen. Even now, after so long
a time, can visualize in perfect
detail the way his hand reached
out toward the butterfly and
quivered as the sniper's bullet
found it's mark.
The other young actors who
may be seen in the new picture
include Billie Bakewell, Russell
Gleason, Owen Davis, jr, and
Ben Alexander.
AS you've heard by now, R. C..
Sheriff has come over from Eng
land to adapt the story. In all
probability, James Whale will
succeed Lewis Milestone as direc-
tor.
I don't envy him the job.

Gets a Girl Job

"A number of years ago, when
I was a camera man for the
Neely Vanderbilt rag out here,
I had to come down to the Of
flee three nights week.
"Cn one occasion walked
into the office and found a job
that plenty of my Eastern pals
would have found to their lik-
ing. A group of girls had just
been chosen by an organization
as those feminine motion pic
ture players who were most
likely to become stars. And it
was up to me to picture them
individually and collectively.
"As I say, plenty of the boys
would have liked that job-but
guess maybe I've grown a
trifle callous. 1 looked the
danes over and, if you'll take
my word for it. they were the
crummiest looking bunch OF
femmes ever saw in one group.
And that's saying whole lot.
There was but one gal in
the mob who looked like any
thing, and she stood out like a
million bucks. Her heels were
run down, there we're plenty OF
runs in her stockings, and the
balance of her ensemble could
have been used for an expert
cleaning and repairing job. But
her personality was honey,
and I liked her Immediately.
Help Her Along
"She proved to be an in
quisitive sort of cuss, and she
insisted on following the course
of my flashlight pictures
through to the finish. AS we
stood in the dark room-and
I want none of your misunder-
standings-she told me much
of her life and her plans. You
know exactly what she said,
Mark. Better, probably, than I.
well, I just couldn't help
myself. She was such a dog
gone, likable kid that I volun-
teered to help her from then
on. I was far from a big shot,
but could get her a photo
break every now and then. And
the very next day I used her
in g. gag photo that I had to
shoot every time the picture
editor was shy on art.
"A short time later she ac-
quired a manager-press agent.
He was hard-working, disabled
World War veteran who turned
out cheese poetry and didn't
know what the news or movie
racket was all about. But he
worked as hard and conscien-
tiously as ever a man could
for a girl. Naturally I helped.
And, together. we planted art
on her until the picture editors
all over town refused to see
us again.
She Gets a Chance
"I quit Vanderbilt's paper
about this time and started

Grain Market

CHICAGO, November Is UP.-Drastic
breaks in British exchange rates swept
wheat prices down today to a new low
level.
December delivery of wheat fell to
411a cents a bushel here as soon as
trading began, a drop Of ss cents since
Wednesday. The former bottom price
record was AIS.
A big wave Of selling overwhelmed
the wheat market at the start, with all
other factors temporarily lost sight Of
except a down plunge Of 27s cents in
the value of the British pound sterling
since Wednesday. Chicago wheat fu-
ture deliveries opened all the way from
" cent to / q cents lower and fiuctu-
ated rapidly, but steadied at about "
cent above the early bottom figures.
Corn started unchanged from $-12 of
and subsequently sagged all around.
When the initial heavy accumulation
of selling orders had been executed, the
wheat pit became almost inert at times.
The new break in British exchange was
to s3z1A as contrasted with old-time
quotations of $4.85, and was associated
here with latest war debt developments
in Washington. At today's extreme low
prices for wheat the market was under
any quotations since Chicago future
delivery trading has existed.
In addition to the all-time low price
record, established today by December
wheat contracts, May and July de-
liveries outdid the present seasons bot
tom figures. Contributing to the acute
weakness of wheat values here were
cabled advices of greatly enlarged ship
ments from Australia and Argentina
Proposed new price fixing measures at
Washington we're also an unsettling
factor. Corn, rye, and oats dropped
with wheat, corn to within Il cent of
the seasons bottom record, and rye to
a new minimum.
Provisions declined with cereals.
