the Ca tholic ANDREW KELLEY
Actors Guild and pastor Of the
Immaculate Conception Church,
played no small part in this first
step up the ladder.
Nothing was said about Kate
Smith being a member Of the
St. Patrick Players, of which
Father Hurney was sponsor, al
though that amateur thespian
organization has a record for
achievement and developing stars
second to none.
Certain befogged intellects
have taken it upon themselves
to distort a statement Of fact
into an attempt to Smudge the
record. 1t gives me pleasure. &C.
cordingly, to give a more detailed
account Of how Kate Smith af'
filiated with Producer Dowlins
from one who speaks with au'
thority. Read this letter:
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
"Since the st. Pat Players
have been credited with the
discovery" of Miss Kate Smith,
and the claim denied, 1 feel
that the facts should be stated
once for all. Though she was
never a member of the or
ganiZatiOn, it may surprise her
to know how closely linked
with her great chance" was
that old Player group.
Zone Spring, several years
ago, Eddie Dowling came to see
one of the St. Pat performances
and was much impressed by
several Of the cast. In late
August he telephOned me from
New York and asked for Helen
AuIt, -Nary Deery and Marjorie
Joesting. considered Mary
too young, Marjorie was then
participating in the "MiSS
America" Contest, but / agreed
to send Helen. He also said
that he thought he had a
"spOt" for a girl whom he had
seen the preceding year at a
Keith N. v. A. benefit. He
could not recall her name and
could give me only a general
description of her work. If /
could locate the girl described,
was to send her up with
Helen. 1 told him that I knew
the loca; amateur field fairly
well but could not place any
such person. Several hours
afterward, 1 happened to think
of Kate. 1 called her on the
phone and, after some check
ing, concluding she was the girl,
told her to report for rehearsal
with the DOwling show at the
Casino Theater the following
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
primarily Kate's success is
due to her own superb artistry
and SecOndarily to the won
derful "spOtting" given her by
Eddie and his confidence in her
ability confidence not shared
in by the producer, Mr..
Erlanger. MAY he rest in
peaceD AS these two gentle
men and myself were walking
down the boardwalk after the
final rehearsal for the Atlantic
City opening, Mr.. Erlanger for
the nth time declared his un-
willingness to have "that girl"
in his show. Eddie pleaded
that she should be given Just

The other man nodded.
That's right" he returned.
''Why? Anything unusual about
it?"
WELL" returned the news,
paper man, "just because he's a
star doesn't mean that he's per
mitted to do anything. You'd
think he'd toss that blonde in
a corner while he's talking to
his ex-wife."
The pal smiled.
Hes probably doing it for a
reason" he said. 1.-THE story is

Washington Fdshions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

The race is on between furred
and unfurred suits for spring.
Every woman who can possibly
afford one has probably made
up her mind to have a suit,
but then the question arises,
"furred or unfurred?" It's
mostly a matter of formality,
which way she chooses, for
price is not so much a con-
Germ this year. Prices are so
modest on both types that you
can usually choose without any
particular adjusting OF your
budget.
Military ReverS
Only a small bit of fur trims
the suit we have had Sketched
for today. so that it achieves
formality without being at all
fussy, and without losing that
trim, tailored look that is SO
important this season. The fur
is white galyac, and it Is shown
on a blue suit. though you may
be able to get the same suit in
other colorS. 1t makes wide
reverS that are rather military
looking, though they do not de-
tract from the SoftneSS ana
dreSSmaker look of the suit. The
wide wrapped-over jacket is held
under the arm by buckle and
tiny piece of belt, and you can
see how beautifully the suit fits,
giving a jaunty appearance
which is mostly due to the
shortneSs of the jacket. The
wide plain sleeves give a chance
to wear the longer gloves Wrln-
kled down, that will be so smart
this spring.
New High WaiStline
But the jacket has only hall
the fashion features. for the
skirt is new in every detail.
First, the silhouette is perfectly
plain and straight. Only enough
fullnesS for comfort in walking
is allowed. and the skirt has a
band at the normal waistline.
But worn over that plain belt
is a high built-up belt that
fastens in the back and is de-
tachable. It gives the very new
high-waisted look, and makes
the skirt more becoming when
it is worn without the jacket.
The suit is of one of the new
soft. flat, nubby crepes, and is
sketched from a Washington
store.
