called the White House favorites.
Four times have they danced for
the Roosevelts and twice have
they been overnight guests at
the Executive Mansion.
To clinch their title of being
the New Deal aces insofar as
dancing is concerned, is the rec
ord that Mrs. Roosevelt called
upon them back stage at the
Earle Theater, rode in the freight
elevator and sat in a balcony seat
to see them go through their
terpSichorean routine.

With Carlo it may be only a

aloofness is a habit. Appearing
at a hotel theater in Magnolia,
Mass, as the heroine of Shake

could pass from her dressing

The Flax Bows

Sam and Jake Flax, of Mono

be the senior members of this
film art in Washington. They
began about Is years ago. Joseph
P. Morgan and A. Julian BrylaW-
ski can argue with them as to who
was who a generation ago in pic
lures, but others must have their
facts correct.
Sam Flax as a boy ran away
from home with the youthful and
somewhat wild AL Jolson. They

Screen Debut

John Eldredge, who recently ar.

Broadway, makes his screen bow in
the murder mystery thriller, "The
Man With Two Faces" now at the
Earle Theater.
What pleases young Mr.. Ell.
dredge most, however, was that he
also had a chance to see his fam.

was met by wire requesting his
immediate presence in Hollywood,
so he had to take a plane half an
hour later. But at least he saw

A Sweet Singer
That young fellow who sang so
sweetly in the w. C. Fields pic
ture, THE Old Fashioned Way"
is coming to town week from
Friday. At the Fox.
He is Joe Morrison, and the
first singer to exploit "The Last
Roundup" This he did as a
member and soloist with George
Olsen's band over the radio. Since
then he has been in pictures and
currently is making a round Of
personal appearances in the
movie houses.
This week he is at the Capitol
Theater, New York. The Capitol's
program, incidentally. makes Va
riety'S critic wag his head and
say, well, Well" For the picture
on the screen is Treasure
Island" while on the stage is a
line of dancing girls who do one
number naked from the waist up.
Variety opines the picture must
be for the kids, the stage show
for the groWn-ups. But Variety's
sage questions the wisdom of such
hook-up, and who can blame
him.
Something for Carter Barron
to cheer about is M-G-M's an
nouncement that Joan Crawford,
Clark Gable and Robert Mont
gomery will all be in "Forsaking
All Others" These are three
money names for any marquee.
Maxine Doyle, finished with
Joe E. Browns "Six Day Bike

star.
For three years Rowland steb-
bins has been trying to book
Green Pastures" into London, On
tario, birthplace of Richard B.
Harrison, De Lawd of the Negro

vented, mostly the fact that pic.
lures controlled the only available
theater. However, Mr.. Stebbins
gets his wish and the booking.

Steals the Picture
It demonstrates the power of
the Hollywood publicity machine
when allied to the screen. Her
salary jumped from $3.50 a week
to $1,000 in less than three
months, and Baby Shirley has a
long-term contract that will make
her rich before it expires.
With little Miss Temple eStab-
lished Paramount is training its
big guns now on building up an
other juvenile, little David Holt.
He's only 7, but he startled the
California critics by wrapping up
"You Belong to Me" and taking
the picture home in his pocket.
He stole the honorS from such
an experienced trouper as Lee
Tracy and the youthful Helen
Mack.
Master Holt got his chance
when little Dickie Moore de-
veloped a mastoid just as shoot
ing" was about to begin. A quick
substitute was necessary and
little boy Holt got the job. In
baseball parlance the pinch-hitter
socked out a home run.

Revue May Tour

sitioned Division Manager Carter
Barron to take the troupe en- tour

Two nights each in Charlottes-

cast are crazy to make the trip.

for smaller stages and a COM
pany of 80 will play the week of
two-night stands if Gene Ford
finally decides it is practical.

Mrs. Roosevelt on behalf of the League

Among the things said by Mrs. Roose-

taken of these remarks: 1. i am here

this opportunity should have preceded
me, but no doubt she will shortly be

Governor but don't forget you have a

We have made frequent references to
Mrs. O'Day and her great interest in the
Virgin Islands. Mrs O'Day is net only
political force in the State of N Y. but
as a White House visitor, and as one who
has been politically and socially with Mrs.
Roosevelt for years her good will to-
wards the Virgin Islands means much.
Not only does she plead for the inclu-
sion of the Virgin Islands in all appro-
priations at Washington but We have
Mrs. Roosevelt's own statement where
Mrs. O'Day earnestly requested her to
visit the Islands.

TIGERS REVENGE
GRID LOSS 26-15;
TENNEY INJURED

Still smarting from the upset de-
feat the Cardinals handed them dur
ing the last football campaign, the
Marshall Tigers partially atoned for
the rebuff by beating the Redwood
Falls cagers 26-15 Thursday night on
the Marshall floor.
The game also ended disastrously
for Ralph Tenney, regular forward,
who cracked his left collar bone near
the finish Of the contest. He ran into
the wall at the end of the court as
he fouled a Tiger player, who was
shooting after solo dash down the
court with the ball. Tenney probably
will be laid up for three weeks but
should be ready for the Cardinals
next game as they do not play again
until January IL with Sleepy Eye.
Thomson led the Cardinals and tied
Nelson and Osweiler Of the Tigers
for scoring honors of the game with
seven points. Tenney followed with
five scores, with Inglis and Hoddy
Melges completing the Redwood Falls
scoring with two and one points re-
spectively.

REDWOOD MAY GET
TRANSIENT CAMP
Ramsey Park Probable Site for
Camp to Accommodate 200;
Plans Tentative

One of seven new transient camps
to be established in the state is to be
located in Redwood Falls, according
to an announcement by o. w. Be-
hrens, state director of the transient
division of the State Emergency Re-
lief administration.
According to tentative plans be-
sides Redwood Falls, camps are to be
established at Granite Falls, Worth
ington, Albert Lea, Rochester, Ken
yon and Chippewa national forest
near Blackduck.
Although no word or instructions
have been received by Richard Cook,
county ERA administrator, it is be-
lieved the camp would be set up in
Ramsey state park as plans call for
the development Of recreational areas
in the vicinity Of each camp for use
of residents of the vicinity. Each
camp is expected to accommodate 200
men.

Marshall Goes Beyond
City Limits to Find
1885 Population, 1926

By including a "few small por-
tions Of the town not actually in the
city limits" as The Daily Messenger
explains, Marshall's population at
this time as established by the Civic
and Commerce association and the
newspaper, is 3,825.
The new figure is an increase of 573
over the 3,252 officially counted in
the 1880 census, a rather phenomenal
gain for so short period. The dis
tricts included which were not in the
federal census are described as ''the
extreme ends of Main street which
are for census purposes an integral
part Of the city"
Prizes were awarded in connection
with the census to Mrs. Nellie Hos
teller, 81, for being the youngest
grandmother; to Miss Carrie Miller
for being the oldest spinster; to Mr..
and Mrs. Zephire LeBeau for having
the largest family, with 13 and to
Mrs. H. F. Maronde for picking the
correct census figure. J. d. Hazen
who guessed 1898 won second place
in the latter contest.

LICENSING INCREASE
ELECTION INTEREST
Only One Candidate Filed for
Each of Five Offices
to be Filled
BONDS LIKELY TO PASS
Liquor Question Vote Certain
to be Close; Drys Won
Last Encounter

Although only one candidate has
filed for each of the five Offices to be
filled at the city election January 8,
a large part of the electorate is ex-
pected to turn out to decide on two
matters which are to be voted on
that day.
On a lavender ballot, Redwood
Falls will decide whether $4,000 in
bonds shall be issued to complete the
sewage disposal plant started this
year. The Lions club, Commercial
club and several other organizations
have endorsed the proposal and it is
expected to carry.
On a red ballot, placed there
through a petition signed by 164
voters, will be the question: "Shall
the common council of the city of
Redwood Falls, Minnesota, grant IL
cense for the sale of intoxicating
liquor in the said city of Redwood
Falls"
Whether this proposal will win or
be defeated is very much in doubt.
The last test of wet and dry strength
in Redwood Falls was taken Septem-
Der IL, 1888 when the state voted on
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment. At that time the dry margin
was 62 votes with the first ward vot-
ing against repeal pol to ITO and
the second ward 290 to 259. Since
hundreds did not vote at that cleo
ton, their attitude may easily de-
eide the issue this year.
For mayor, the lone candidate is
DR.. C. L. Lynn who was first to file
after friends persuaded him that it
was his civic duty. Mayor H. D.
Thorp who has served three terms
did not enter the race.
Other candidates, all incumbents
are ]. F. Knudson for alderman OF
the first ward; George A. Patton for
alderman of the second ward; F. G.
Hubbard, for city recorder and F. W.
Stanton for city treasurer. Mr.
Knudson and Mr.. Patton have each
served one two year term while Mr.
Stanton and Mr.. Hubbard were first
elected in 1884 for one year terms.
