pectedly at the Massachusetts, General
Hospital.

sibility Of q TRANSMISSION"
The daughter Of Mrs. Eugene du
Pont Of Wilmington, Del, visited the
hospital with Mrs. Roosevelt, who has
been In Boston since yesterday morn
ing.
They went Immediately to Frank
Inns room.
The bulletin issued by the doctor
read: "Convalescing perfectly, no
setback. no possibility of q trans
fusion"
Blood Test Report Clarified.
DR.. Tobey's statement that there
was no possibility Of q TRANSMISSION
was in response to reports from an
authoritative source that blood tests
had been made in anticipation Of a
TRANSMISSION. DR.. Tobey said the
blood tests were q routine matter.
President Roosevelt talked with his
son by telephone yesterday. Miss
du Pont came to Boston by train to-
day from New Jersey.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who made q hur-
ried trip from the White House by
train, to be with her son for Christ
mas, confirmed DR.. Tobey's report with
the declaration he was doing fine"
President Phones Son.
The President talked with his son
by telephone. Miss Ethel du Pont, the
Wilmington, Del, heiress to whom
he is betrothed, sent him greetings
and indicated she would visit him soon.
DR.. Tobey said that If the youths
present progress continued, he should
be able to leave the hospital in about
10 days.
He said the strapping Harvard oars
man was walking about his hospital
room daily to strengthen his legs and
that he should be able to take his place
with the crew In the Spring.
Mrs. Roosevelt Cheerful.
Mrs. Roosevelt. wearing q light gray
coat, deep red hat and o small fur
neckpiece. appeared cheerful during
her visit.
For once In my life I have no plans
or engagements" Mrs. Roosevelt said.
Il have nothing to demand my atten-
ton for the next few days, and don't
know how long I'll be here. I'm Just
not making any plans"
Agreeing with DR.. Tobey that it
would have been foolhardy for her son
to travel to Washington for the holi-
days, Mrs. Roosevelt said "it wasn't
worth risking the danger Of germs en-
route. But think q trip South later
will be just the thing for him. You
know how these things are-you Just
have to watch them all the time"

FASCISTs ARE BOMBED.

WITH FASCISTS ON THE MA
DRID FRONT. December as up
(delayed) Socialist planes dumped
bombs last night into q Fascist Christ
mas celebration behind the Madrid
front lines.
Eleven soldiers were killed in the
raid on the barracks at Getafe, about
six miles south Of Madrid. The raid
ers missed larger human target in
the darkness.
Rollicking troops, singing in the
streets after the traditional Christ
mas eve feast, drowned out the drone
of the airplanes with their merry
making and were unaware Of the raid
until bombs exploded. None, how
ever, was hit.
Otherwise Christmas in the trenches
was peaceful. Gen. Francisco Frances

earthworks. playing foot ball and

A few rifle shots and the occasional
explosion Of shells from Madrid ar

in favor Of insurgent Fascists, possibly
provoking q general war.
Hope mounted, however, that Ger
many would avoid any action that
might endanger European peace. This
hope was strengthened by reports
Hitler was studying carefully the de-
mands the Spanish insurgents were
said to have made for increased sup
port.
The Spanish civil war, feared as q
threat to all Europe since its begin
ming. appeared to have brought the
continent to a final showdown on the
issue of war or peace for the i'm
mediate future.
Despite official silence in the great
capitals of Europe, the Christmas
holidays were broken by hurried con-
ferences.
Great Britain and France obviously
were disturbed, but hoped Der Fuehrer
might make decisive gesture for
peace and dispel the war clouds.
British sources appeared confident
the move to help Germany ind sorely
needed raw materials and economic
outlets, possibly through colonial ex-
pansion, would weigh heavily with
Hitler in making his decision.
The British feeling was that the
reported economic offer would loom
larger to the NaA leader than even
an overwhelming Fascist victory In
Spain.

by the firmer Anglo French stand on

cessful attempt to bring Shakespeare
to the screen with fidelity and finesse.
Miss Shearer's enchanting interpreta-

High praise, indeed. for the Juliet
OF Norma Shearer, FIRST Lady of the
Screen" who not so many years ago,
as time flies, walked down Broadway
with cardboard soles in her shoes, as
she trudged from producers office to
producers ONCE. eager for extra
work.
Juliet is the high point in Norma's
Cinderella-like career. Family finan-
cial reverses sent her, at Is, to New
York IN search of screen work. Nine
days after her arrival Norma had q
small part in a comedy filmed on
Long Island. 1t was beginners luck.
For the next three years she man
aged to exist in a one-room apart
ment on extra parts, occasional bits
and Photographic modelling to fall
back on in pinch.
Then, abruptly. she began to get
feminine leads, first in THE Stealers,"
then in "Channing of the Northwest"
After three years such roles as these
brought a contract from Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer and one-way ticket
to Hollywood.
Once in Hollywood, Norma made one
success after another in such pictures
as His Secretary" "The Student
Prince" and Lady Of Chance"
With the advent of talking pictures,
Norma found this unexplored medium
even better suited to her ability as an
actress. Trial Of Mary Dugan" was
her first talking picture and definitely
established her. THE Divorce"
brought Norma the award of the
Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences for the best performance
Of q screen actress. She scored in
the ultra-sophisticated Strange In
terlude" and then led the way back
to romance with "Smilin' Through"
and 1.-THE Barretts Of Wimpole Street."
