MANY MILLIONS OF UNCLAIMED
 DOLLARS IN THE U. s.

Back in 1790 the government of the U. s. A., then in it's infancy, had to borrow some money. It offered what now seems an. exorhitant in- terest rate, 6 per cent, and borrowed a total of $30,88O,3 1889 at that time. Of this amount $27,S7O has. never been reepaid because the lenders have not asked for it.
 This $27,87O represents the oldest unredeemed government securities in our history. This issue matured more than a century ago and while no interest would be paid since ma turity, the bonds, if produced, would be honored just the same today as if presented hundred years ago. : Since. that time the amount rep resented by unredeemed government securities has reached a total of approximately $20,O0O,OOO. Their holders are entitled to cash them and the money is waiting but for unac- countable reasons the owners of these written promises of Uncle Sam to pay back the money he borrowed, with interest,". haven't come forward. A considerable per cent of this. un- claimed money is represented by. .un- redeemed Liberty Bonds and war savings certificates issued during the late World War so that many of the owners must still be living. Why they don't cash in is a mystery.
 Added to this $2O.OOO,O0 is $34,- 100000 more of unclaimed funds still in. government hands, represent ed in part by treasury certificates and notes, and other forms of cur rency never turned in for redempt- ion. Uncashed government checks account for several millions of this added amount.
 And all of this is only the begin ing of hundreds of millions of for gotten money in this ountry. The government is prohanly the largest holder of such funds but. there are many millions more in possession of state and local governments, banks, trust companies. insurance compan- ies and various corporations await ing claimants who cannot be located. It is estimated there is $50,OOO, coo aloney in dormant accounts of Am erican banks

 New "isrOadway Melody"
 About Hve years ago "The BroadWay Melody" hit the silver screen and was hailed as the out. standing triumph Of that early era of the "sdueakles"--and they real, jy sauaWked in those days.
 To-day aii three Of the principals in that film are listed among HOis lyw00d's has.beGns. Bessie Love, Anita Page, Charles klng--al1 top. notehers then--have been forgot len, However, the him itself still iS remembered as the first big musis eai hit of the ta1kieB,
 For that reason M.G.M exeeu. tlvss have decided Co make "fbe Broadway Melody Of t934," and on \ much larger scale than the original film. Tine songs will be written by Naei0 Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, composers of the music in the first production

Nca Service Stan Correspondent. Hollywood.--Al we need now ts to have n national law along the lines Of the one proposed recently in Delaware, banning all divorced persons from the screen, and you need no longer worry about the high movie salaries. There would not be any of thcm--in fact, there would not be any more industry.
 Of all the Legislation ever pro. posed against the film business, this one would wipe 1t out the quick est. Practically all our leading players Mould have to turn wait pesses or shoe clerks,
 The gentleman who proposed that law certainly has Q grudge against the movies, or else nc doesn't realize just how many or our actors and actresses have been divorced. wouldn't even attempt to name all of them, but a few or the leading ones are Joan CraWs ford, Maurice ChevaIier, Gloria Swanson, Kay Francis, Ronald CoImaD, Richard BarthelimcBB, Constance Bennett, Janet Gaynor, William Powell, Ruth Chatterton, Loretta Young, and Lew Ayres.
 Of course, you don't have to start worrying now about what you are going 10 do for your evening entcptaiDment, because such q Jaw never will be passed, even fin Dcla. ware, But it does show tho extent tO which some persons would go to protect uB from the "evils" of the movies.
 Digging Up the Past
 At last the movie moguls seem to be learning that if they can't find a sufficient supply Of good modern stories from which 10 make their pictures, the past af. lords pIebty of material.
 Never before have 50 many old novels or plays been brought to the screen as arc planned for this year. The most recent to be adopted for screen use is "The Dover Road" fl play which years ago made n sensational hit in both Europe and America. Give Brook and Diana Wynyard will have the leading roles.
 thousands Of persons have been hiIariouDIy entertained by spring time for Henry" but Nigel Bruce still stands as the shows strong est booster, TO him it is the height of good tuck charms.
 Twice on the legitimate stage he scored tremendous hits iD this play, once on Broadway and once in London, And now he is play ing his biggest film role to date in the screen production of the same play.
 T'be World jH q Small Area
 "Perfect climatic cODditions' is the reason usually advanced for Hollywood being the motion pic. ture capital Of the world. But there is another and equally i'm. pOrtant reason why the film indus. try has settled in Hollywood.
 That is that, within radius of 900 miles, a duplicate of almost every scenic setting in the world can be found. Whether story is laid in the Sahara desert or the wiIds of Australia, it may be filmed right here in Southern California without losing any of it's authen- ticity.
 This has been demonstrated
