CAPITOL

Little Big Shot,, the Warner Bros. production, which marks the American film debut of the 5 year old genius, Sybil Jason, starts to- morrow at the Capitol theater. It is said to be a powerful drama that contains hilarious comedy, touching pa..hcs and a delightful romance.

BRITAIN HAS AVIATION BOOM

Since the recent abolition by the Air Ministry of the regulations gov- erning the building and flying of light airplanes, clubs formed by young air enthusiasts have sprung up all over Great Britain. It is ex- pected that by next summer at least 5000 young men and women will be flying their own machines.

Rv DAN THOMAS

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 Hollywood-The matinee idol is coming into his own again.
 Swinging back toward the pre- talkie conception of male stars, Hollywood execs are looking for young men who they believe can compare favorably with the Ru- dolph Valentines, John Gilberts and Ramon Novarros of yesterday.
 When the influx of sound caused a complete upheaval in the movie industry along about 1928, a death kneel was rung for the handsome and romantic screen heroes. At the same time the public was acclaim ing the addition of dialogue to pie lures, 1t also displayed a definite taste for new types of leading men.
 Two distinct classes of masculine stars captured the fancy of au- diences almost overnight. One class included character actors such as the late Will Rogers, Wallace Berry, Lionel Barrymore and Charles Laughton. The other class included rugged, two-fisted lovers like Clark Gable, Jimmy Cagney and Spencer Tracy.
 No More Rough Stuff.
 Today, however, American girls again are yearning for good looks and touch of tenderness in their screen heroes. Cave man stuff IS out.
 That has been proven by the re- awakened interest in George Brent and Joel McCrea, both very much on the handsome side of the fence, and the cheers lifted for such rew- corners as Robert Taylor, Fred Mac- Murray, Cesar Romero, Errol Flynn, Ian Hunter, Warren Hull and Paul Cavanaugh.
 These men are getting the choice roles these days. Ever since he ap- peared with Garbo in "The Painted Veil" George Brent has been in demand for highly romantic parts. Joel McCrea recently staged 8 strong comeback in "Barbary Coast" and went from that into "Splendor," ," with Miriam Hopkins.
 Robert Taylor, who besides being romantically handsome also can warble note or two, reached new heights in Broadway Melody of 1886"
 From Star to Star.
 Fred MacMurray came into the spotlight last spring as Claudette Colbert's leading man in "The Gilded Lily." Then he wooed Kath- \ arine Hepburn in Alice Adams. And now he's back with Miss Colbert in "The. Bride Comes Home" Not a bad record.
 Cesar Romero first came into prominence as 8 suitor for Marlene Dietrich in "The Devil Is a Woman" and has jumped from one romantic role to another ever since. Il Tall, slender and extremely haild- some, Errol Flynn is playing the swashbucking Captain Blood in the picture of that title. But studio executives plan to build him as an out and out romanticist. II Similar plans also are being made for Ian Hunter, who recently played with Bette Davis in "The Girl From Tenth Avenue" Warren Hull who was Margaret Lindsay's leading man in Personal Maids Secret" and Paul Cavanaugh who was with Mae West in 'doin' to Town"

Italy's aspirations for colonial expansion may result in new postal paper"
 Ethiopia is invariably in- scribed on the stamps ema- mating from the empire for Halle Selassie; on them Abys- sinia has never appeared. The country and the people prefer anud use Ethiopia and it is al- most identically that in Arnar- hic, their language. Transliter- ated 1t is "Ityopya." The reason for the preference is clear. Ethiopia is from the Greek, meaning land of the burnt-face people and as such was used by earliest classical Greek writers to refer to all lands inhabited by dark faced or black people. The Philippians are dark skinned, their complexion rang ing from olive to brown, choco- late and black.
 On his deathbed in Decem- Der, 1913, Menelik III designat- ed his favorite grandson, Lidj Yasu, then sixteen years of age as his successor to the throne of Ethiopia. Three years later, because of an attempt on Lidj Yasu's part to substitute Islam for Christianity as the Ethi0- plan State religion, the con- gross of chiefs deposed him. In his place they chose, as titular head of the state, Menelik's el- derly daughter, Zauditu; and as Prince Regent and heir ap- parent to the throne, the 35 year old Ras Tafari.
 I. Ras Tafari was the son of Menelik's cousin, Ras Maccon- en, foremost among the chiefs supporting Menelik as King of Kings; and at the death of his father, succeeded him as gov- ernor of the wealthy coffee growing province of Harar. The features of Ras Tafari first ap- peared on the Ethiopian post age stamps in the Bern Litho- graphed series of 1919 and later on the French State Printing Works productions of Septem- ber 5, 1928. Shortly afterward five denominations of the lat- ter series were given an over- print to mark his installation as Negous, or King of Shoa, on October 2, 1928.
 On April 2, 1880. Empress Zauditu died under suspicious circumstances. The next day Ras Tafari was proclaimed Em- peror as Halle Selassi I; and on November 2, was crowned in the St. Georges cathedral at Addis Ababa. On both Occa- sions all ten denominations of the 1928 series were appropri- ately overprinted in Amharic characters.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-19

FrOm London, via United Press !. A square inch scrap of paper will be offered for sale here Oct. 90, at . price of not Less than $50,000. This is the value put upon . one-cent magenta British Guiana stamp of 1856 by its owner, Mrs. Pas cal Costa Scala, wife of the late M.

 The stamp is roughly conn., posed from ordinary printers type and is the only one of it's kind known to be in existence at present. It was printed in newspaper office in George town, Demerara, as a make shift until the next steamer from London could bring fresh supplies. In 1876 8 14-year-old schoolboy found this stamp hid- den away in an attic amongst a bundle of old, forgotten let ters. Liking its color, he de- cided to add it to his collec- tion. Later he sold it to a stamp collector for six shill- ings ($1.50).
 Some years afterward this collector sold his entire cOllec- ton for $625 to Thomas Rid- path, of Liverpool From that day on the lone British Guiana stamp scared in value. Count Philippe von Ferrari, once re- nowned collector bought it for $775 from Ridpath. The rarity of the issue having been es- tablished, Hind was forced to pay $36,715 in 1922 when the Ferrari collection was disposed of. The sale on Oct. 30 will see Harmer, Rocke & CO, of Arundel street, London, offering the tiny scrap for $5O,UOV.
 Theodore E.
