Neither this child nor any of the
others have since appeared in opera,

The Pickens sisters had no inten-

any point in their lives before they
actually did so. Jean, the tall blond,
trio, told us about it in a lull at
an Earle rehearsal the other morning.
She had studied at the Curtis In
stitute of Music in Philadelphia, with
light opera as the goal. Later, with
sister Helen, she went to Paris for a
year, where both studied with the
moderate seriousness of attractive
young Americans in France.
After they returned to New York
sister Ruth came up to join them. A
friend heard the three singing in
formally one night at a party-sug-
gested the radio could use them.
They had an addition. The friend
was right. Shortly thereafter, Ruth
became Ill. Jean, who has written all
the Pickens' arrangements since Al,

Undue Intimacy With Wife in

LOS ANGELES, August 15-
Charges Ena Gregory Rogell, former
stage and screen actress, had been
unduly intimate with william v. r.
Smith, Beverly Hills capitalist, we're
made yesterday by Albert Rogell,
movie director, in an amended divorce
complaint.
Rogell sued Smith yesterday for
$150,0 damages, charging the capi-
talist stole Mrs. Rogell's love.
In the new divorce complaint,
Rogen sued Smith Monday for
original suit filed last week in which
he said his wife insisted on going to
wild drinking parties and threatened
to attend them with other men If he
would not escort her. The amended
complaint charges only that Smith
and Mrs. Rogell were intimate on an
unspecified date this month.

Joseph B. Poindexter, governor of
Hawaii, was at Butte a few days ago,
enroute from Washington, D. c., to
the islands. He left Butte to spend three
days at Dillon, his home. Governor
Poindexter formerly was Beaverhead
county attorney.
In an interview, Governor Poindexter
said business conditions have improved
in Hawaii after the depression there
last year. He said sugar production
from the islands has been affected by
curtailed quotas set by recent congress
sional legislation.
The governor explained that the
processing tax would prove beneficial to
the islands, however.
The second generation of Hawaiians
of Japanese racial stock, Governor
Poindexter said, is rapidly becoming
Americanized.
