ST. FRANCIS AMUCK
AS LEVEES BREAK .
Arkansas and Missouri Areas
Under Sea of Muddy
Flood Waters.
BY the Associated Press.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, May pa sea
Of muddy water swept over the flood
stricken Northeast Arkansas-So Southeast
Missouri border today, driving farm
families and animals before it and
drowning out crops that were planted
behind the perilous protection of soggy
levees.
The water came down in a sheet from
collapse of the st. Francis levee sys-
tenn near Bertig, Ark, yesterday and
covered about $4,000 acres.
Late yesterday there were at least
IA places through which the river cut
widening gaps. Some of the holes were
$50 feet wide. The big slough ditch
levee at Paragould also broke in sew
eral places.
1t was believed much of the water
would flow into Greene, Clay and
Craighead Counties in Arkansas and
Dunklin County in Missouri. Damage
to the area from floods in April and
May was estimated at a million dol
lars.
The flood along the st. Francis River,
as along other Mississippi River tribu-
taries in the lower valley, is caused by
the inability of the smaller streams to
discharge their burdens into the flooded
Mississippi. carrying a load of water
from the Ohio Valley.

Real Show Stopper

When Ray Bolger comes to the
Earle Theater Friday you will
see the dancing comedian who
stole the show the night they
opened Radio City Music Hall
with a billion dollar audience.
I had seen the rubber legs
dancer perform in George Whites
Scandals and I'd also seen him a
few times at Loew's Palace and
the Fox, but like everybody else
in that great audience I was un-
prepared for the welcome those
5000 odd customers gave a funny
hoofer. Particularly as he worked
under a disadvantage inasmuch
as his facial expressions and the
value of his intimate comedy was
dissipated for those watching the
show at a long distance range.
So you will see him at the
Earle Theater beginning Friday
under the best of circumstances
and can then make up your mind
whether the Music Hall audience
was right. He comes from my
old home town of Dorchester,
Mass, which is another reason
why I like him and Fred Allen.

Hollywood ingenuity and capacity
