Ozzie Nelson
Has Degree

When Ozzie Nelson received his
sheepskin from Rutgers Univer-
sity, and subsequently one from
the New Jersey Law School, it was
generally thought that he was bid
ding goodby to a very colorful
career. But his activity in the
field of entertainment since that
time has proved that he's blaZed q
career that's even more colorful.
And that he's at the head Of one
of entertainmentdom'S most color
full units, he'll try to prove when
he brings his orchestra to the
Loew's Fox stage on Friday for a
week of personal appearances.
With him will be featured another
colorful personality, Harriet Hill
lard Cor Mrs. OZzie Nelson to you)
whose songs were a feature of the
last Fred Staire-Ginger Rogers
picture Follow the Fleet"
Ozzie'S colorful deeds and say
ings have become part Of the le-
gend and tradition of Rutgers
University. His activities at that
quaint New Jersey college en-
braced everything from varsity
quarterback to captain Of the de-
batting team. He was always near
the top of his class, yet spent most
of his time at the movies, listening
to trials in the local court or just
drinking beer with the boys. It
was mainly through Ozzie's efforts
that the Rutgers "Chanticleer"
became a acknowledgement cole
giate humorous magazine. At col
lege he was not only local foot
ball hero, but a national one as
we'll.
His musicians are considered an
impressive looking group and a
versatile one. And to augment
their many novel arrangements
are the duet vocals of Ozzie and
Harriet Hilliard.
The screen feature that will &C
company the Nelson unit at the
Fox will be THE Crime Of Dr..
Forbes" drama that has its
moments Of mystery, comedy and
romance.

FULL OF THRILLS
For San Francisco" is picture
that you can not afford to miss.
It's one of those pictures that will
be remembered for many a year
and praised for its realism and its
thrills.
AS a story, it takes the world

deal with that Sordid side of San

And it presents for the first
time together two stars who most
certainly will be teamed again

not as fine as it is, it would be a
rare treat to see these two to-

EARTHQUAKE SCENES
Well, it takes an earthquake
until her mind is made up, and it
produces situations that leave the
audience sitting tense, before the
last stirring scene.
Spencer Tracy plays a large
part in this picture, portraying
excellently a young priest, boy
hood chum of Blackie, new as
signed to a mission down on that
Barbary Coast. A difficult role,
yet he plays it with an air Of
reverence that is needed. No

San Francisco is a picture with
an atmosphere that is authentic.
To one who has lived there, it is

Fountain. And to one who hopes
to some day go and watch the sun

picture will also appeal.
It's hard to get that atmosphere.

For '"The Good Earth" was a
flop for. the Theater Guild who

ton Of the novel with Nazimova as

The Broadway boys just couldn't
see it and the play periShed after
o very few weeks.
"SWEET ALOES" AGAIN
Another play that was short
lived in New York will make its
temperance on the screen soon.
I refer to Jay Mallory's romantic
drama, Sweet AloeS," which
opened at the National, went on to
Broadway and soon died Of box
office anaemia.
Kay Francis is playing the role
that Evelyn Laye adorned in the
stage version. I was among those
who thought that "Sweet Aloes"
had a completely bogus and un-
satisfactory ending. I trust Hol-
lyWood has amended it so that
the finale carries some conviction.
The screen version is called "Give
Me Your Heart"
THE DOUBLE BINDINGS
Marion Davies begins second
week in Hearts Divided" at the
Metropolitan Theater today in a
new version of the Napoleonic
romance that provides happy
ending.
This double ending is not ex-
actly new to Hollywood. AS a
matter of fact Warner Bros. shot
two different finishes for Kay
Francis picture, THE White
Angel"
The one Americans will see
and the one that will be avail
able at the Earle Theater week
from today shows Queen Victoria
pinning a medal on Florence
Nightingale as played by Kay
Francis, the hands, back and half
profile Of the monarch being Wis
ible.
In the prints made for England
Queen Victoria cannot be shown.
A man stands between the figure
of the Queen and the camera
and only the voice Of Her Maj
eSty comes through.
A SUCCESS GIRL
Jeanette Macdonald, it seems
to. me, is the perfect example of
the Success story.
She began as a Ned Wayburn
chorus girl at Major Bowes' Cap
itol Theater, where this week her
latest picture, San Francisco"
passed $4,000, first picture to
reach this gross since "Mutiny on
the Bounty"
On last Monday night she sang
the lead role in the Lux program
of Irene" on the air, which must
have given her a thrill, for this
was the first musical comedy in
which she had small role.
My first notice for Jeanette
was in review Of Mitzi's produc-
ton, Lady Billy" in which she
had small part and which was
the first show I covered as dra-
matte editor of the Washington
Post.
Your correspondent first inter
viewed Miss Macdonald when she
was appearing in the Harry Fra
zee musical, Eyes, Yes Yvette,"
at the National Theater, in the
days before sound movies.
The records show that jeanette
Macdonald has appeared in more
hit pictures than any other
actress in Hollywood. It's a fact,
but if you doubt it examine the
record as printed in Motion Pic
ture Almanac.

that make blue mold such a hardy
disease Mr. Purdon says, but some
of the ways it lives from season to-

principal reasons for the continued

Building Upturn
Is Nationwide In
America in 1896

Boston, Sept. 24.-The upswing in
building activity is nationwide, says
the United Business Service, Boston,
in it's current report. Figures cover
ing building permits and contracts
awarded for the first eight months
of this year are more than so per cent
higher than in the same period of
1885 in all parts of the country. The
average increase is 76 per cent.
In four sectiOns-Upstate New

MISREPRESENTATION figures this year
are more than double 1885. A gain of
292 per cent in public works contracts
in upstate New York accounts to a
large measure for the excellent show
ing in that area.
Southern Michigan's high percent
age of gain is due to striking in
creases in residential and non-resi-
Dental and building and public util-
ity construction. In the st. Louis ter
ritory public works CONTRACTS are
three times larger than in the 1925,
white total building in the Pacific
Northwest is running 124 per cent
above last year.
The United Service concludes that
the increased activity in building will
serve as a powerful sustaining force
for general business during the re-
naming months of 1886. No early let
down in the favorable trend of con-
structiOn is anticipated.

Manteo, Roanoke Island N. c., Sept.
24.-Tiny walls of a new born child
emanating from a rude log hut on the
north end of Roanoke Island, August
Is, 1887, heralded to a few score
hardy Englishmen, members of Sir
Walter Raleigh's Inflated Lost Colony
the arrival of the first white child by
birth in the New World-Virginia
Eleanor White Dare.
On the actual spot, in the stock
ade-enclosed and recreated Fort Ra-
leigh, will transpire in 1887, the 35Oth
anniversary Of that birth, a celebra-
ton so wide in it's scope as to center
attention of the English speaking
world on Roanoke Island in histori-
cally glamorous Dare County.
Educational, historical and religious
the celebration planned by the Roa-
noke Island Historical Association
will last from the early part of the
summer through August, reaching it's
climax in a pageant-drama designed
to present all the intriguing histo.
of those first colonial attempts and
bring out the halo of mystery and ro-
nance surrounding the disappearance
Of the Lost Colony.
The association is endeavoring to
reconstruct in part the Roanoke Is
land of 1887 and in a primitive set
ting re-enact adventures of the first
colonists as seen through the eyes of
North Cardinals and Americas dis
tinguished playwright, Paul Green,
who is now at work on the pageant
drama that will form the major part
of the celebration. Fred Koch, direc-
tor of the Carolina Playmakers and
father of the Little Theatre in Amer
lea, is to direct its production.
That the setting may be more in
keeping with the pageant, two ships,
replicas of those in which the first
colOnists ventured across the Atlantic
to then unknown shore, will ride
at anchor in waters of Roanoke
Sound opposite the landing place at
Fort Raleigh, now almost completely
restored to it's colonial appearance.
A tribe of Cherokee Indians from
the North Carolina reservation, it is
proposed, will be brought here to re-
create the Indian villages of early
days and reproduce their primitive
fields of tobacco, maize, pumpkin and
squash.
But the actual reconstruction work
has been done on old Fort Raleigh
itself Surrounded by a palisade of
logs, rude log huts with matched
roofs have been built as nearly in &C

possibly could be done. Even included
is solid, rough Little Chapel, similar
to the shrines of early days.
