ROMANCE AND
DRAMA BOOKED
FOR WEEKEND

"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
one of the most appealing stories
from the pen of Kate Douglas Wig
gin. beloved American authoreSs,
which for years was a standard
stage success, will be shown Sun
day and Monday at Fox Imperial
airdome, with an exceptional cast
headed by Marian Nixon and Ralph
Bellamy.
The story centers around a young
girl who is taken TO live with two
maiden aunts, whose hearts are in
the right place, but have been so
cluttered up with inhibitions and
prudishness that they are more au-
tomatcms than humans.
Everything the girl does seems to
be wrong as far as the auntS are
concerned, but they fail to change
the youngsters enthusiasm or her
belief that all the world is good and
appreciates goodness.
Her romance with the village doc
tor reyelopS practically unknown to
herself and inklings of it cause the
maiden aunts to do plenty of wor-
rying, but in the end it comes out
as it should.
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
is sweet and simple tale, the sort
that leaves a good impression upon
all.
Mae Marsh and Louise Closer
Hale have the roles of the aunts.
which is enough to guarantee them
as excellent characterizations with
much unconscious humor. Alan
Hale, Ronald Harris, Lucille Ward,
Sarah Padden and others are in
the supporting cast.
Those who like chills, thrills and
adventures, will not overlook Miss
Pinkerton," a weird and mysterious
murder tale, which plays tonight
only at the airdome Based on the
story by Mary Roberts Rhinehart,
Joan Blondell and George Brent
have the leading roles in Miss
Pinkerton," which portrays the ef-
forts of young girl to solve a mys-
terry Staying.
= 1t is not morbid tale but is in
tenSely interesting. The audience
has the chance to figure out who
is the guilty party, and few are
able to guess it, SO cleverly is the
plot constructed.

ban broadcasts on home grounds.
The decision was reaching as
it affects most of the important

While the action was taken pri-

some OF the college officials have
felt the broadcasts have not always
been accurate. 1t is patent that
persons interested in sport are also
interested in alma mater, and any

as being of slurring nature is

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY M'LEMoRE

I UNITED Press Staff correspondent
JONES BEACH STATE PARK
NEW YORK, July 16.-A little
springer springboard and the
sports writer's covering the womens
/ Olympic swimming and diving
championships here yesterday
might have had one sweet yarn.
For if the board from which the
fancy divers catapulted themselves
had been a little more timber, Mary
Hoerger of Miami, might well have
earned a place on the U. S. team.
And if she had-boy, what & pip
of a story it would have been
For Mary is eight years old.
Honest to goodness, she's just a
baby. Three feet 10 inches tall
and weighing about go pounds. And
those go pounds probably cost her
a spot on the squad. No matter
how hard or how high she jumped,
the springboard just wouldn't bend
enough to give her the proper
height for her dives. Yet, despite
the handicap, Mary's dives were
pretty slick. Not prettily slick for
a baby, but for anybody And she
did 'em all-jack-knives, back
somersaults, running half twists,
gamers and Spinners.
AS she came out of the water
after her last dive, 1 walked up
to Mary.
IF you're a newspaperman, - she
said before I spoke, you'll have
to see mama or Steve, my coach.
I'm too little to talk
So I found mama" and "Steve. y
This is Mary's first meet No,
she didn't get nervous. She S in
the fifth grade at school, and has
been swimming all her life. Well
most of her life anyway, having
padded 40 feet hen she was II
months old.
Mary, however, isn't the pride
of the Hoerger family. Ruth IS.
Ruth is Mary's sister, and is nine.
Ruth would have been here but
for an attack of flu. Mary's spe-
cialty is the 10-foot springboard.
Ruth scorns the low places and
goes in for the high platform work.

off.
If you don't think 80 feet is way
up there in the clouds, just clam
ber up one of those high diving
towers and take a look down at
the water. I'm telling you it looks
mile away.
Ruth doesn't mind this, 'mama'
said. Used to it. Been at it for
four years. Won the Florida state
Junior title when she was six,
against a field that included girls
two and three times her age.

WALKER MAY BE
FIRST OPPONENT
OF new CHAMP

NEW YORK, July 16.-Mickey
Walker who was credited with a
draw against Jack Sharkey last
summer is the likeliest challenger
in Champion Sharkey's first heavy
weight title defense.
Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's man
ager, is not expected to give Max
Schmeling return bout until Jack
has had at least one, and maybe
couple of title bouts with the
other heavies. The first one is all
but certain to be with Walker.
For all the great things Walkers
friends believe of him, signing for
bout with Mickey would be a
cautious move on Buckley's part.
Jersey fight fans and plenty of
impartial observers of the Sharkey-
Walker bout last summer still in
sist that Mick was robbed when he
got more than a draw decision. It's
probable, however, that they are
not considering properly the great
difference in size of Sharkey and
Walker. Mickey put up a grand
scrap against Jack, but his showing
seemed better because there was the
picture of a much smaller man
holding nearly even with a larger
one.
Actually, then, it would seem
that if anybody was robbed in the
Walker-Sharkey bout, it was the
man who now holds the heavy
weight title. On the other hand,
Sharkey deserved scarcely more
than he got considering the indif-
ferent attitude he displayed. If
Jack had gone after Walker as he
went after Primo Camera, little
Mickey would have had an unhappy
| evening.
Walker is an amazing man. Amaz-
ing because of his ability to re-
main in trim despite late hours
and plenty of jollification.
The writer attempted to tele-
phone Jack Kearns, Mickey's man
ager, not SO long ago. The phone
rang several times finally some
one yelled: What do you want?"
well Jack Kearns isn't here and
this is nobody but Mickey Walker
and what a pal you are TO wake
guy up an hour after he gets
into bed"

GRIDJRON GAMES

NEW YORK, July 16.-A meeting
of considerable Importance to radio
fans and to those interested in
college sports will be held at Pasa-

This will be the meeting of the
National Collegiate Athletic asso-

games will be discussed. There is
no definite indication as to the
line of action which may be taken,
but it is known that more than one
athletic official will urge passage
of a rule which would at least
frown on football broadcasts.

Radio officials, of course, re-
gretted the action, and pointed out
that many college graduates who
were unable to attend games had
pleasure in hearing about them over
the air. The contention was made
that broadcasts aid rather than
abate sport interest in general.

"Goods morning, Mr.. Waring."
Waring returned her greeting
and moved on to his own desk.
The memory of that stricken look
stayed with him.
He decided that Susan was not

There had been something desper-
ately wounded in her gaze, some
thing infinitely appealing. The
look had torn away without his
volition the covering Jack Warning
kept over his own dead youth.
Those who knew him nowadays
scarcely would have credited it, but
Waring had been shy, sensitive
boy who agonized over trifles.

His early marriage, his wife's sub

rose up and gave him pause.

4 DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

THE explorers who do the most
i valuable work are usually those
who get the least publicity and
make the least money.
The perilS of travel in the South
American jungles have been eX-
aggerated greatly, and no man will
be in any danger from the Indians
there if he acts like gentleman
and doesn't provoke violence by
waving a gun around all the time.
It's an easy job to put yourself
over as a great scientific globe
trotter if you hire the right press
agent and know how to bluff.
These are some of the high spots
in MY Jungle Book" by Herbert
S. Dickey-an entertaining volume
that debunks the exploration racket
with caustic effectiveness.
Dr. Dickey has spent something
like three decades in the widest
parts of South America, and should
know what he is talking about.
What he tells is plenty.
1t is perfectly possible, he says,
for complete nobody to make him
self world-famous as an explorer,
if he goes about it right.
He adds that the really con-
scientious explorer and scientist
usually worries along on about
$4,000 a year and dies unknown to
fame.
There is more in his book than
this debunking stuff. He writes of
his own experiences in South
America, and proves that I'M
vanished truth can be quite as in
teresting as touched-up adventure. 3"
my Jungle Book" is published by
Little, Brown & Co. at $3.50.
