FAIRVIEW, Okla, October g.
Mazda Rumsey, 40 years old, solved
her own housing problem.
On the banks of canyon half /
mile from the highway and n
equal distance from her fathers
ranch house on the prail.e u
western Major County. a s.aa1 los
cottage was built unde. rs.
Rumsey's supervision.
Red cedar logs were split ard
smoothed to make walls for the in
terror. Rough logs formed the cx-
terror of the cabin. Enough dirt
was placed on top Of the structure
to make the building ccol ana pro-
vide flower garden.
The interior has a fireplace built
of native sand rock.
Close by the house is Miss Rum

SALLY EILERS
AND BEN LYON
ARE CO-STARS
HAT Check Girl" Is En-.
pertaining Comedy at
Uptown Theatre

Sparkling with nicely timed COM
edy moments and offering many
thrills and surprises as the story
unfolds, HAT Check Girl takes a
well-earned place among the sea-
sons best pictures after its open
ing yesterday at the Uptown The
ater
Sally Eilers again captures the
charm of her bad Girl" portray
al with her work as the sophisti-
Gated and self-reliant check girl at
a big New York night club, and
Ben Lyon makes an ideal screen
partner as the Park Avenue play
boy who falls for Sally in a big
way
The romance is skillfully built
up from a most unconventional be-
ginning, when Lyon, returning unex-
pectedly from an out-of-town trip,
finds Sally asleep in his apart
ment. Things progress swiftly to the
poposal point, but here Sally balks;
the difference in their social life,
along with an affair" in her past,
prove too much for her to contend
with.
Lyons insistence, however, finally
wins her over, but on the eve of
their wedding Sally's former lover
is found dead, and Lyon is held
on murder charge. How matters
finally are adjusted forms the in
teresting climax of the story, which
Director Sidney Lanfield has han
died with his customary dizziness.
Ginger Rogers makes her first
appearance under the Fox banner
as Sally's = poppy companion, and
much of the pictures humor is
due to her efforts Monroe Owsley
and Noel Madison are as suitable
a pair of menaces as could be
found, and Arthur Pierson, Purnell
Pratt, Dewey Robinson and Harold
Goodwin perform their roles excel
lently. The film was adapted from
Rian James novel of the same
name.

FRANK LAMANSKI
MAY BE ANSWER
TO CASEY'S PLEA

DAVENPORT, Oct. 8.-Out here
in the Western league, far away
from busy Brooklyn, there may be
one OF the answers to Casey STEM
gels problems with his Dodger
pitching staff
Frank Lamansa a portsider with
a strikeout bal Chat brought him
a new league record for consecu-
tive victories, is the chap who will
attempt to relieve Casey's pitching
troubles.
Attracting attention of big league
scouts as lie moved down opposi-
ton, Lamanski did not stop until
he had II straight victories to his
credit, one more than Lyle (Bud)
Thinning. now of the Chicago Cubs.
once won for Des Moines.
Brooklyn was the successful bid
der and Lamanski will report to
the Dodgers at the end of the
Western League season. Experts
around the circuit think he is
ready for the big time and his
record this season appears to sub
stantiate their judgment.
During his record making streak
he scored four shutouts and seven
times held the opposition to one
run. His strikeouts for the season
are more than 200.

tennis. In the inter-zone matches
of 1888 and the challenge round of
1884, both against Great Britain,
our players failed to win single
match against Bunny Austin or
Fred Perry.
Little RolIO"
Over the same seven-year period
our doubles teams, which used to
be continual source of worry, have
come to dominate things complete
ly. Our lads haven't lost a Davis
cup doubles match since 1880. The
record is six victories and two de-
feats in the inter Zone and chal-
lenge round competition of 1923 to
1884, inclusive.
This leaves the Iuture issue
squarely up to the development OF
singles players able to scale the
heights on foreign fronts. They
have in many instances been spec
tacular enough at home, only to
become jittery at Roland Garros OF
Wimbledon, under the pressure.
On his play abroad this yeai
Sidney B. Wood, Jr., undoubtedly
ranks among the worlds "first
five" He may yet be the figure
around whom a winning combina-
ton can be built. Shields has
yet to demonstrate his reliability
in international battle. Lester Role
Stoefen is the next best singles
prospect. If he comes along an
other year at the swift pace he
has shown most of this year, the
tall California blonde may be the
missing link"

WILL ROGERS AS
DAVID HARUM"
IS KNOCKOUT
Splendid Cast Assists In
imitable Star in Delight
full Drama at Capitol

Furnishing the finest sort Of en-
tertainment for every member of
the family, David Harum,' star
ring the inimitable Will Rogers,
kept the packed houses of the
Capitol Theatre in gales of laugh
ter at its opening presentation Sun
day. At times the laughter was
not unmiXed with tears, as Inc
audience lived with the lovable,
human characters of the American
literary classic.
Will Rogers is natural David
Harurm" with his homely philoso-
ply, his slick horse trades, his
small New England town banking
practices, his reputation for being
a hard" person, and his lively
life with his sister Polly. Polly is
delightfully."- played by Louise Dress
er. Ann and John, who supply the
sincere romance, in which Davic
lends an unseen, but helping hand
are charmingly handled by Evelyn
Venable and Kent Taylor. Stepir
Fetchit as the groom that is thrown
in on several horse trades, sup
plies many laughs in the best role
he has had recently.
Though laughter predominant:
through this wholesome feature
there is sentimental sequence, as
David secretly aids a needy widow
after first outwitting the land
grabbing Deacon.
One of the high-lights, and with
out doubt a scene which will long
be remembered by everyone WHO
sees the picture, is the trotting
horse race, in which David's balky
nag runs to victory as the entire
county fair attendance sings TIA
ra-boom decay" with Ann leading
the band. There is a familiar hon.
illness to the Christmas dinner
scenes that inspires both gayety
and pathos and the picture ends
with surprise climax that brings
gales Of laughter.
This excellent program includes a
late news reel and several good
shorts, Mickey Mouse, and selec-
tons from old-time pictures.

BLACK MOON"
is EXCITING
COLISEUM FILM
Jack Holt, Fay Wray and
Dorothy Burgess Featur-
ed in Thrilling Picture

Tm!ele drums beating = voodoo
Icrazed Stacks in an orgy of blood
sacrifice he gazed, horror
stricken at the scene = and saw
that the leader of the savages was
his WIFEl
That's just a sketchy idea of the
thrills and suspense that awaits
you when you see Jack Hollis latest
starring Columbia production,
Black Moon" now on the bill at
the Coliseum Theatre.
Dorothy Burgess and Fay Wray
have the featured and principal
supporting roles to Holt in this
production, taken from the Cosmo-
politan story of the same title.
In the supporting cast are seen
little Cora Sue Collins, Arnold Korff
and Clarence Muse.
The story tells of white woman,
wife of Stephen Lane (Jack Holt
who returns to her native island
and becomes the high-priestess OF
voodoo cult that still engages in
blood sacrifices. Holt discovers his
wife's dual personality in time to
prevent her from sacrificing her
own child on voodoo altor.
The picture reaches high pitch
of tension and suspense in many
of its sequences, and maintains its
speed and action at all times. The
work of the cast is exceptionally
commendable. Dorothy Burgess, as
Hollis wife, plays a wildly color
full dramatic role with much feel
ing. Holt is virile and powerful as
usual and Fay Wray is appealing
and sympathetic.

BABY BUDGET
IS BALANCED

BOLOGNA, Italy, Oct. 8.-After
a fight of 10 years to catch up
with the Grim Reaper, the Prov
ince of Bologna has balanced its
budget"
In the last three months exactly
$3.50 infants had been brought
into the world by Bolognese par
ents. Precisely the same number
of Bolognese had died.
Bologna previously had been held
up to public scorn as an example
that the rest of Italy should not
follow. II Duce wants an increase
in population and does not hest
tate to heap criticism on regions
where the death rate exceeds the
birth rate.

TEN of weather reporting stations
with adequate radio facilities to
communicate with military planes
in flight. The aviators found ex-
listing maps of Alaska are virtual
ly useless for aerial navigation. Aer-
ial photography maps of the Anch-
orage- Fairbanks airway were made
during the flight.
Aviators Unfamiliar With Area
A fleet of planes should be per-
manently based at Fairbanks as
soon as suitable facilities can be
installed, the flight officers re-
ported. They pointed out that the
Army now is without aviators ex-
perienced in Alaska's climatic con-
ditions. A system of rotating the
personnel of the Fairbanks base
would fill this need.
During the flight, the Army avia-
tors found that several minor engi-
neering changes should be made
in their planes to make them more
efficient in operating in the Terri
tory. They recommended that ex-
periments be made to iron out these
flaws.
The 7,360-mile flight was accom-
plished with but one mishap. An
engine failure forced one of the
large bombing planes to land in the
water near Anchorage. No one was
seriously hurt. The plane, however,
sank in fourteen feet of water.
Plane Quickly Repaired
The airrnen salvaged the ship
and put it back in flying condition
with an expenditure of but $733.
The plane was able to rejoin the
squadron seven days after the acct
dent.
The flyers found that CONNER
cial gasoline companies do not stock
enough gasoline and lubricating oil
in Alaska to supply military fleet
of any size. This would forestall
the possibility of any short notice
emergency flight by fleet into the
Territory.
The ayiators advised against the
sending of annual tactical flights
to Alaska because of the hazards
of the route.

SLANTS.
- By ALAN GOULD -

Nov that our Davis cup argo-
nauts are back again empty hand
ed from the challenge round against
England hope you will not take
up the cudgel and lambast the
boys" writes Mark Scarf who peers
intently at all sporting proceedings
from his coming tower down along
the eastern shore.
1t isn't necessary for us to join
the anvil chorus for two reasons:
ID that we consider the best avail
able American team was sent to
this years Davis cup wars, and
co that we did not think before
hand it had much chance to beat
England, under any circumstances.
Il know and you know" con-
tinues Mark, that they did their
best, gave everything that they had
and the sting of defeat hurt them
deeply. They left their hearts right
out on the court and they deserve
a hand Their stand against Aus
tralia is something to remember.
wish the tennis writer's would stop
criticizing Frank Shields, in par
ticu1ar His stand against Fred
Perry showed what kind of fight
ing heart he has. Shields is a big
six-footer, high strung and nerv-
GUS"
There's no doubt about nerves
being jumpy in this Davis cup
business. Cup stars have told me
that no one who hasn't experienced
the strain of a challenge round
match can appreciate the pressure
it puts on individuals nervous sys-
tenn. Only exceptional men, like
Tlden. Cochet and Perry, have
the ability to rise to their greatest
competitive moments under such
circumstances. 1t gets" most of
them, with not even the slightest
question of gameness involved.
No Real Successors
The striking fact remains, based
on the record of seven years since
France lifted the trophy from the
United States at the Germantown
Cricket club in 1927, that America
has failed to produce a singles
player able to pick up where eth
er Big Bill Tilden or Little Bill
Johnston left off.
Undoubtedly H. Ellsworth Vines
was the nearest thing to it. For
one year, at least, Vines was the
greatest amateur in the world but
he did not manifest the stability or
inclination to make his mark as an
internationalist. His Davis cup ca
reer was abbreviated and marred,
at its close, by the fact that he
was thinking more of his profess
sional future than any amateur
glory he might reflect upon the
U. S. A.
For three years after America
lost the Davis cup, Tilden carried
on and scored our only singles vic
tory each time in vain attempts to
dislodge the French musketeers.
In the inter-zone or challenge
round matches in which the United
States has participated in the last
four years, only four singles vic
tories have been recorded and half
of these took place when Sidney
Wood and Frank Shields made their
magnificent rally against Australia
this year.
Thus in seven years the U. S.
record is exactly seven singles tri-
umphs against no less than 25 de-
feats in decisive Davis cup compe-
tition Shades of Beals Wright, Bill
Larned, Maury Mclaughlin, Dick
williams, Bill Tilden, Bill john
