By SIGRID ARNE Copyright, 1886, by the ASSOciated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-Hand- some. young Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., is seen helping the beautiful Ethel Du Pont into car. He squires her to a football game He swings her around the floor at a college dance.
 And the gossips love it.
 What do you suppose their fam lilies think?" they buzz.
 Theg remember the warning of the L Pont clan on the New Deal
 Imagine a Du Pont marrying a Rooseyeltw
 So goes the refrain since MT. and Mrs. Eugene Du Pont announced the engagement of their daughter to the son and namesake of the President
 But the real surprise is not that a Du Pont plans to marry Roose- welt in June, but that the two clans never were united by marriage be- fore. The two families have long, romantic histories, their paths have crossed before, and they have been powerful for generations.
 Of Ancient Lineage
 It is even possible that before the French revolution the Du Fonts knew of the Delanos, the Presi- dents family on his mothers side. In the turmoil leading to the revo- lution the Delanos, who were known as the De La Moves, and the Dl Fonts were active in Huguenot cir cles in France.
 When Victor Du Pont made an exploratory trip up the Hudson to Albany in 1787, the Roosevelts and Delanos were already well-known around New York.
 All three families have been pro life. All three have taken a warm interest in their communities. Each has home about which the clan revolves. Both the Roosevelts and the Du Fonts are Episcopalians both have old churches in which ceremonies have marked the chris tenings, marriages and deaths for generations. The Du Fonts arc now in their eighth generation on American soil. the Roosevelts in their tenth.

From the Greek nymrhs of
Homer's time to the spirit Nephele
of the present day Eskimo. the
world has believed in fairies. Shake
speare, who seemed to know every
thing about all people of ali times,
knew his fairy lore and Puck could
not escape his attention.
He is an old tradition in Anglo
Saxon life Even today he is be-
lieved in by many people in Ire
land and Scotland, a half-loved,
half feared sprite who represents
gay, irresponsible, unconsciously
cruel childhood. America, too, still
has an occasional hex" murder,
and the manufacturers of charms
and amulets do a thriving business.
The movie Puck, 11-year -old
Mickey Rooney, is real veteran of
the screen, and the son of a noted
theatrical family. Through all the
play he floats, runs, flies or dances,
intent upon two things-the will of
his master Oberon, and his own love
of joking.
"a Midsummer Nights Dream"
in its screen version, has been given
the complete and unreserved ap-
prevail of Mrs. David Ross, Indiana
president of the Indorsers of Photo

educational and artistic worth"

From the Elizabethan ancestor

beautiful and not dumb heroine who
comes through in the pinches. Mich
ael Whalen, who plays the part of
the young millionaire, Lothario,

AS for little Freddie-well he rat

Screen Folk
Find Resort
Rest Place
WhirI of Activity Awaits
at End of Drive to
Palm Springs.
BY PAUL HARRISON

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16.-(NEA)
The way distances are measured
in this far-flung colony, Palm
Springs is counted as practically a
suburb of Hollywood. It's actually
rather tedious lis miles, but
nothing is too much work when
stated flicker folk decide to take a
rest.
In summer the temperature and
population of Palm Springs are
something like $50, but there is a
considerable deviation in the suck
err season, when the mercury re-
cedes a little and the hotels start
bullying with important customers
The business section consists
mostly of chile huts and waffle and
sports and wear shoppes. Also there
is the establishment of Princess
Zoraida, who makes quite a good
thing out of telling actors and
actresses whether their contracts
are going to be renewed.
Hotel Rooms SIS to $50
The hotels. range from a SIS shake
down on the outskirts of town to
Ell Mirado, in which you can stay
for $50 a day. The place also has
some three-room bungalows where
tourists are accommodated for $50
a day.
Screen people mostly just get
rooms in the hotel. Until a few
days ago, one of the bungalows had
a steady tenant-a young man
whose income is $4,000 a week.
But he began paying rent to a
hospital after establishing mara
thon guzzling record of u gin fixes
in "a hours.
Falm Springs is the playground
of cattle barons, traction magnateS,
industrial tycoons, overstuffed la
dies from the East, and movie big
wigs. Hundreds of lesser Hollywood
people go there, but don't remain
overnight.
After all, there Is no point in
paying SO much for room that you
lie awake all night worrying about
your extravaganza. Palm Springs
is largely a state of mind, anyway;
it is energizing just to be able to
tell all ones acquaintance that one
has been there for a good long rest
Half Hour Is Long"
Long" is relative term, of
course. A long sunbath, for instance,
might last half an hour, and then
you probably would be burned to a
crisp. The individual solariums,
little cabanas with quartz windows,
may be briefly occupied for pit
lance Of So per exposure.
The So, though, includes innu-
merable glasses of ice water de-
livered, regardless ofsthe gender of
the occupant, by man. Running
solarium concessions is the towns
principal industry.
People go about heedlessly in
many states of undress. From an
airplane commanding view OF
private patios and secluded sun

decks atop residences and hotels,
the place looks like a nudist camp.
A great deal of flying is done about
and over Palm Springs.
All the sports from A to z (arch-
cry to MANIPULATING, the latter
favorite pastirle of the Marx broth
ers) ere available at the resort.
Harpo Marx also likes to play
bingo which is like lotto, which is
like the corn game you play at
county fairs.
Seldom Shouts "Bingo"
Richard Dix plays bingo, too. You
really should hear the triumphant
way Mr.. Dix shouts "Bingo" when
he wins, which is seldom.
Ralph Bellamy and Charles Far
rell, who are actors in the spare
time, operate the Racquet Club,
which is not to be confused with the
Racquet Club of Manhattan. Messrs
Bellamy and Farrell have six tennis
courts, a bar, and lounge. Some
very exciting bending tourna-
u1CIlcS are IlelQ Cnere.
The bowling alley is an Academy
in Palm Springs, and Harry Rich
man has the high celebrity score
a spare 238. June Travis is cred
tied with 1876, but her scorekeeper
was a man whose business is esti-
mating picture costs. The best bad
mlnton players are Julie Hayden
and Miss Travis.
Ride Into Desert
The sunrise horseback parties are
well patronized by people awho are
still up at that time. Assorted
f1unkieS precede the hardy adven-
turers into the desert with steaming
canisters and vacuum bottles full of
coffee and various pick-me ups.
Places are laid with snowy nap
cry and Second-best silver by the
time the riders gallop up with
shriekS of ''Tally-ho!" They say
that prospectors get quite a start
when they come upon these merry
breakfast parties out in the middle
of nowhere.
AT night there is nothing much
to do besides go over to The Dunes,
a gambling house conducted by Mr..
AL Wertheimer. 1t is generally
conceded that Mr.. Wertheimer rem
ders a considerable service to visit
ing Hollywood dsmen, since gaming
losses may be deducted on income
tax reports.

Puck is the daddy" of the modern
cartoon character, according to DR..
Richard Burton, noted drama au-
thority.
And who is Puck? He's that
"shrewd and k1ayish sprite" who
romps through "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" and who, in the
person of Mickey Rooney, is to be
seen in Max Reinhart's movie YER
sion of the Shakespearean comedy
when it comes to Keiths for road
show engagement the week of
Jan. 90.
In the days of Shakespeare, Puck
was the impish spirit who both
amused and annoyed; the fairy in
dividuai who received the blame for
most of the bad luck that beset the
people of that time. He soured the
milk, upset the soup, kept the sturdy
yeoman out late on Saturday nights
and lured the maidens from their
heartsick SWANS with love potions.
Just who Puck's father might be
is not clear. DR.. Burton believes it
was the Greek god Pan, and if this
