Coliseum Attraction Depicts Troubles of Two-Fisted
 Ships Engineer

Show Boat popularly recalled as Edna Ferber's best seller novel and as the Jerome Kern-O Oscar Hafnmerstein stage hit, has been brought to the screen by Universal and is now showing at the Capitol.
 The romantic musical drama con- tains songs which have made the play memorable success through out this country. The 1886 screen version has three new numbers written by the same authors.
 Eight of the principle players portray roles which they formerly interpreted on the stage. Irene Dunne, starring as Magnolia, is the center of a love story that re- veals Allan Jones as the carefree Ravenal. Charles Winniger is the genial Captain Andy; Helen Nor gan makes the same attractive Ju- lie that she did on the stage.
 Poul Robeson, splendid baritone, again plays Joe. A chorus of 200
  and a total cast of $500 players in- dicate the grand scale on which James Whale directed Show Boat"
 With burglars on the bridge, hood lums in the hold and smugglers in the scruppers, Here Comes Trou- ble, the Fox picture now at the Coliseum Theatre, takes a boatload of stars out to sea and brings thrills, drama, comedy and romance to the screen.
 The entire story revolves around the romance of Paul Kelly, who acts the role of third engineer on a Havana liner and his manicuring sweetie, Airline Judge.
 Produced under the supervision of John Stone, Here Comes Trou- ble," and directed by Lewis Seller and features Edward Brophy, Halli- well Hobbes and Andrew Tombes in the chief supporting roles.

FORT THOMAS, Ky, Dec. 1.- Mrs. Sam Becker paused in the en- ergetic stirring of two dozen egg yolks in a big blue bowl.
 And wrac difference would it make,' she smiled If I did give you the recipe for my famous sponge cake? The knack of making it- it would still be mine, wouldn't it?"
 And that is the answer to what has become a frequent request, ever since Mrs Becker, wife of Cincinnati clothier, came into na- tional prominence by baking a cake and handing it personally to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt as they paused on a campaign visit here.
 Farley Gets One, Too
 The nations first lady, acknow- ledging the act in letter, termed the cake delicious"
 Early this year, Mrs. Becker baked similar cake for the inaugural banquet of Gov A. B. Chandler of K entucky. Postmaster General James A. Farley tasted it and limited" for one for himself. He got it and likewise sent his cordial thanks and testimonial of it's ex- cellence.
 What is there about Mrs. Beck CTS sponge cakes that make them "different?"
 Mrs. Backer, tall, auburn haired mother of daughter, 18, and a son, Is, professes she doesn't know.
 How is it made?
 Lots of Cinnamon
 Well, the recipe which she says came from Russia and has been handed down from her great-great grandmother, calls for two dozen eggs and some sugar and butter and some cinnamon.
 But there again, just how much sugar and butter and cinnamon she won't say because she ex- plains, Its family secret"
 Friends who recently were fa- vored with what she described as a duplicate of the cake given to the Roosevelts were struck by it's re- semblance-except in color-to the moist fluffiness of angel food.
 The analogy stops there, perhaps. and one is surprised further to find "pinches" of ground cinnamon flecked through it's fine grained tex ture.
 Mrs. Becker graciously imparts a secret"
 There is, she says. the tiniest bit of cinnamon flavoring in the cake itself, aside from the ground pro- duct dotting the slices. This house. wives may accept as something out of the ordinary if not new-for al- mond, lemon or vanilla extract is the more usual flavoring for cakes of that variety.
 Dislikes Icing
 Mrs. Becker, who insists she is just a honey housewife who loves to cook despite her prominence in club affairs, says she will ice a cake if they ask me to- but pre- fers them ''as they are"
 She explains: Too much sweet is too much.'
 And what does her family think of it all?
 MT. Becker, sports enthusiast and a leading Cincinnati clothing mer- chant, says he "even gets letters from woolen mills" with whom he does business, saying the writers expect to sample that sponge cake some time"
 Dorothy, attractive daughter whose education as a student in Wellesly college will not be com- plete until she learns to make that cake" frequently gets one by mail her mother says.
