Y OLLYWOOD. Calf, September
27-Jan Kiepura's entrance
into Hollywood will never be
L L forgotten. He was introduced
to the big and little fry at a party
given in his honor by Paramount. In
one of the Roosevelts largest banquet
halls, surrounded by stars, the press,
and great many plates of potato
salad. he threw back his head, opened
his mouth and sang BE Mine To-
night" Then he sang something else
and something else-and something
else. Nobody could stop him. And
the more he sang the better and louder
he got--until it seemed as If every
time he wrestled with top note Holly
woods roof might blow off.
Kiepura has been brought to this
country at vast expense by Paramount
He joins the songbird colony that now
includes Gladys Swarthout, Lily Pons.
Nelson Eddy, Michael Bartlett, Helen
Jepson and score of others. He Is
said to get 100000 for a picture
not only in this country. but in Eu-
rope. He thinks American women are
so beautiful that wher he starts talk
ing about them his hands fly out in
wonder and delight and his tongue
fails him.
He is by far the most dramatic
singer-actor Hollywood has seen this
season. Fan magazine writer's quiv-
cred when he yowled BE Mine To-
night" at them. Salads. wines, cock
tails we're momentarily forgotten. The
great Kiepura had them by the ears.
Kiepura is not, however, a modest
man. When he expresses himself 1t is
in terms of the box-office that he
knows he is. When We asked him if
he wasn't planning on coming to
Washington this Winter for song re-
cital, he said: "Eet would geeve me zee
greatest pleasure. But yes I woold
come-I woold-I have everything but
zee time-zat ees zee trouble-Zee
time-Eef they deedn't loft me so
much in Hamburg, Berlin, London and
Paree, I woold come-But zair eez no
time"
AS he said this he was surrounded
by a group of friends and whatnots.
He said it with grin that meant he
wasn't being too serious about it all.
And yet-no one else in Hollywood
could be so blunt and get away with
it. Very continental isn't he?" said
a small, dark lady to our right. And
that is the answer-very continental.
Mr.. Kiepura sang that afternoon to
his hearts content-and everybody
elses. He was photographed with at
least 40 different people-including
good looking Lola Lane MRS AleXan-
der HalD, whom he said he would like
to have for his leading lady-(he gets
Gladys Swarthou0. Every time the
camera snapped he let out a howl,
shot out his arms. looked as if he
might be saying nanny in Polish.
Next day. down at Paramount there
was note for his press agent from
his secretary. The note said Mr. K.
would like a doctor. The best you

EDDIE CASEY TO
 STAY AS COACH

Boston, Nov. 29 -(UP)- Head Coach Eddie Casey and the manage ment of the Boston Redskins de- clared today that report that Casey would be definitely through" with the local National Professional Football league team after Sundays closing game with the Pittsburgh Pirates was pure guess work. Dem his Shea, Redskins secretary, said Casey had a two-year contract with the club and that insofar as he knew Eddie would go through with the contract. Casey, reached at the National Youth administration of- f1ces, said he knew nothing about a supposed agreement with Owner George Preston Marshall of the Red- skins whereby Casey,s two-year con- tract would be destroyed after the present season.
 While it is evident from the state ments of Shea and Casey that the Redskins coach has not turned in his resignation, it is believed in some quarters that Casey will soon do so. Handicapped by injuries and a dearth of first flight backfield play CTS, the Redskins have dropped eight straight contests. Casey recently was named head of the National Youth administration in Massachusetts and may desire to give all of his time to the job.

New York, Nov. 29.-(UP)--At the opening trading was active and prices firm. Buying developed on the vote of confidence given the Laval government yesterday. Later, however, the French situation de- velioped new complications. Another item which Wall Street diSliked in the foreign situation was the more militant attitude of Premier Musso- lini on sanctions.
 Domestic business news was most ly favorable. An exception was the failure of International Silver di- rectors to take action on the pre- ferred dividend of $1 due at this time. That failure brought break of 1874 points in the stock to a new low at 57.
 Dun & Bradstreet reported Christmas shopping already under way to the benefit of retail sales which this week were to 6 per cent over last week and 4 to 14 per cent over a year ago.

IU. s. POLICIES
 IN WORLD PEACE
Neutrality, Disarmament Have Reached Climax;
 Three Strong Rulings

Washington, Nov. 29-(UP)-Sev- eral phases of the administrations programs relating to world peace, neutrality and disarmament reached a sort of sub-climax today.
 l. The deadline was reached for American manufacturers, importers and exports of arms, ammunition and implements of war to register with the state department under the new neutrality law. Individuals of firms dealing in these weapons and commodities who have not registered with the arms control section of the state department before the close of business today are subject to heavy fine or prison term, or both.
 3. The American delegation to the London naval conference sails from New York tonight to partici- pate in the f1ve-power attempt at London to prolong or to revise the Washington and London naval treaties which expire December S1, 1886. The consensus here is that there is little likelihood of agree ment.
 3. State department officials went ahead with their program of nego- tiating reciprocal trade treaties with several foreign countries. It is Secretary of State Cordell Hull's firm belief that world peace is al- most wholly dependent upon the restoration of unfettered world trade and the restoration of flnan- cial and economic balances through out the world. This can be accom- jlished, he is convinced, only by re- duction of the multitude of artificial trade barriers, such as abnormal high tariffs, exchange control re- strictions and other such obstacles
 The United States marked time in the general neutrality situation. AL though al loff1cials hereemphatically declared that this government is following an independent course in charting its neutrality policy, there was no denying the fact that the successive actions taken here were based upon developments abroad.

 Young Livermore suddenly broke into his mothers tirade and picked up a quart bottle of whiskey.
 "Ill show you,' Nevelle said he shouted, and Jesse began downing the liquor.
 I'd rather SC eyou dead than drinking that way" Mrs. Livermore screamed.
 Jesse dropped the bottle, marched into his bedroom and returned with a shotgun. He handed it to his mo- ther, and according to Nevelle, chal- lenged:
 You haven't got the nerve to shoot me"
 Nevelle took the shotgun away from the youth, and stepped out of the room. leaving the two quarrel ing, Jesse drinking from the quart bottle.
 Mother Hysterical
 He heard a shot and pushed back. Jesse lay on the flor the whiskey bottle by his side.
 Mrs. Livermore was on her knees beside him, sobbing, I've shot my son." she said.
 Beside her was a .22 caliber rifle which Nevelle said had been in a guest house. Jesse apparently had stepped out and got it when the shotgun was taken from him, the guest said.
 Nevelle called Dr. Neville Ussher. who notified the sheriff's office, and mother and son were removed to the hospital in the same ambulance.
 The early morning drinking bout followed late party the night be- fore, Nevelle said. Several couples, whose names authorities had not ledrlleu, leIC several HOurS DeIOre.
 Many Quarrels
 UnderSheriff Ross said his men had been called to the home sev- eral times when the mother and son were quarreling.
 He and District Attorney Percy Heckendorf were waiting at the hospital to question the mother as soon as she revived.
 A butler, who was in another part of the home at the time of the shooting, also was to be questioned.
