Eight Years of Hoofing Earn
Fame for Ginger Rogers

Eight years ago a slim, red-haired
youngster, just fifteen years old, was
crowned the Charleston champion OF
the state of Texas.
Today that youngster, Ginger Rog-
ers. is hailed as one OF the most pop
ular stars on the motion picture
screen. Currently. she plants her dane
ing feet on the pinnacle of screen fame
taking her place as a full-fledged solo
star in RKO Radios In Person.
To audiences who for the last two
years have seen her name in electric
lights with those of Fred As;aile, Will
liam Powell and Francis Lederer, the
change may seem slight; but to Miss
Rogers it is the climax of eight years
of dreams and hopes, hard WORK and
study. much JOY and a few heartaches.
Although Miss Rogers has been {
popular stage and screen player Tor
six wears. it is Just within the last
no veals that she has scared so spec
i cularly to the heights. In Gold Dig
gers of 1888" she first created a real
furry in the screen capital, producers
bidding for her after an overnight sue
cuss. professional Sweetheart added
to her popularity.

Pirate Loot Finds Stir
Bermuda Wealth Hunters

II Is known definitely that at one
time pirates used to sally forth from
Bermuda to prey upon the richly laden
Spanish ships which sailed from Mex
leo and Peru laden with the loot OF
the Incas and Aztecs. The course OF
these treasure ships lay not far from
the Bermuda islands, and occasionally
one OF them would fall into the clutches
OF the Bermudian buccaneers.
These ships carried gold and silver
marvelously wrought pieces OF crafts
manshlp, furniture which was antique
even In those days and rare jewels.
1t Is the opinion OF well-informed per-
sons In Bermuda that whatever trea-
sure may have been buried In years
past has already been recovered. In
fact, Bermudian homes are fairly
stocked with articles recovered from
wrecked ships and from the caches
of pirates and prlvateers. One Is apt
to find Spanish dcubloons almost any
where along the south shore, and the
discovery Of really substantial chest
or collection OF buried treasure In not
beyond the realm Of probability.

Senior Interviews.
Robert NeiIs

Robert Neils:
! Robert is the woman-hater of the
Senior boys and the girls of the class
have long since ceased to expect an
interested smile or word from him.
However, most of the girls believe in
the theory that states: The old re-
sistence can't last forever, and the
longer they wait, the harder they'll
fall. Roberts pretty swell sport,
though, and he never murmurs enc
single murmur when his palsy walsys
call him ''Dumkuff' (Which, dear read
er. means dumb-bel in the German
language.) He is a struggling young
typist and can be found any evening
after school hours laboring strenuously
over the alphabet in the tipping lab.
In view of the fact that Robert harbors
peculiar resentment against all
women, hope my. dear public will ap-
preciate the following interview. My
method of attack is too involved to ex-
plain here.
Question: What's your pet peeve7
Answer: Carol Jane Smith.
Question: What do you think Of
l"Caye-mann technique?
Answer. I've heard that it works.
Question: Who do you think is the
greatest actress in America today2
Answer: That's easy-Shirley Temple
well, at least we know that he admires
blondes with curly hair These conclu-
sions are simple after you "catch-on;'
i they work out something like algebre
equationsD
Question: What do you think OF lhe
Senior Play?
Answer: 1t ought to be swell because
it has been presented by more thar
500 schools and recently made biz
hit at the Figueroa Play House in Los
Angeles. It's the logical successor f
the famous 'Smilin' Thru
/ Question. What is your homes
opinion of Ta1narack Reporters?
Answer. Nuisances.
Question: What do you think OF .ht
possibility of the Cynthia Grey column
Answer: | think it would be goot
way to inform B. M that Cave Man
tactics are out of date.
