For the first nineteen days of

ords reveal.
In the first week, 33,706 people
saw it. A total of 22,647 saw it the
second week and a total of 12,109
people saw it in the first five days
of the current theatrical week.
This breaks all known attendance
records at the Apollo, as the next

THIS department today is going

- MID QbpdIlllltlb LOOdy ID BOlAlS
L to answer some letters sent in
by readers of this department.
The question that has been asked
most in the last few months is
Are movie actors forced to play
roles they dislike, or to do the
things they hate?
To answer that question I had to
call on Arthur Zellner of First Ma
tionai Pictures, Inc, to answer that
question.
Zellner maintains that whatever
a star hates most is the very thing
he or she is required to do or be on
the screen.
He maintains that Kay Francis
has an aversion that amounts to a
phobia against the sound of a shot,
Even the sight of revolver makes
her cover her ears. Yet in British
Agent" her latest vehicle, she not
only hears butt sees actual firing of
many kinds of firearms.
Jimmy Cagney in private lie
hates the go-getter type of a man
and yet he has been cast in numer-
Gus such roles.
Ann Dvorak hates boiled dinners
above all else and yet in House
wife" which comes to the Circle to-
morrow, she is forced to cook such a
dinner and eat two large portions.
Zellner admits that Ann could
have faxed cooking the dinner but
she had to eat it.
You wouldn't believe it but Do
Iores Del Rio actually hates women
who flirt and yet in Madame Du-
Barry" she does more flirting than
most women could accomplish IN
several lifetimes.

Washington Cup .--one hot day
in June, 1890, 3 ss-year.old Chi
nese youth left his fathers
house in Shanghai for q walk.
Three years and seven months
later he arrived at Washington.
For q year and q half Poon
Tuck Ming wandered through the
regions of French Indo-China,
Siam, the Malay Peninsula, Per-
STA, Syria, Palestine and Egypt
$4,000 miles.
The intense heat of the Asiatic
desert sun forced him to travel
only at night to conserve his wa

his last night in the desert and
robbed him of all belongings ex.
cept a .highly-prized album which
Poon pleaded to be allowed to
keep. The album is filled with off,
cial stamps. snapshots and auto
graphs.
In India, Poon chatted with
Gandhi and was presented with a
piece of cloth woven by the Ma
hatma himself. A quaint belief of
the Brahmans and the Hindus
nearly ended his jaunt premature

a disbeliever should eat. They re-

On to Egypt went Poon Tuck

boat. From Greece, Poon began
the big push-a steady march
through IA scattered countries.
Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania,
Hungary, Austria, Switzerland,
France, Belgium, Holland, Ger
many, Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
and England were visited in that
order by the youthful adventurer.
Sailing from Liverpool, he
crossed the ocean and arrived
safely in New York, completing
the last stage OF his journey. Just
for a "breather," he walked to
Washington, stopping long enough
to rest UP as a weekend guest o.
the Chinese ambassador, before
heading for California.
Poon declares that he will keep
on walking for three more years.
He is slightly built, modest. and
master of ten languages. His per-
sonal effects include very little

juries tonight continued to In
crease the heavy casualty toll, al

deaths, in the destruction by fire
of the greater part Of this thriving
seaport city.
Police estimated that 800 per-

which 700 persons were known to
have been burned to death.
There were 1000 others injured
or missing.
Officials believed that in the
smoking embers of the $4,000

swiftly set relief agencies in mo-
ton to guard against pestilence
and exposure among 10000 refu-
gees. Four destroyers carrying
emergency supplies were the first
to bring outside aid. The Japanese
army air corps was called upon to
rush medical supplies and army
doctors.
Hakodate's populace is now scat

the huts of neighboring villagers
Hakodate, perched on the far
northern island Of Hokkaido, had
little warning of the disaster. Most
of the residents were asleep wher
tall, smoke-stack, crumpled by Q
high wind, fell into public bath
and ignited the structure.
The flames, pushed by the wind
raced through the papier-macht

Word of the disaster was sent tc

They also provided the only means
of communication through which
city officials sent their appeals fol-
immediate aid for the populace.
So far as could be learned nc
foreigners were included on the
