Palace Theater join in dual birth
day celebrations on Friday, various
members of the Palace staff will
likewise be celebrating long periods
of service with this F Street en-
tertainment center. Doorman
Nick ToScano was hired by Nicho-
las Schenck, president of LoeW'S,
Inc, on the very day the Palace
was opened and he's been custo-
dian of the Palace gates through
the years. He knows more than
10000 Palace regulars. Mrs. Lille
Cleves, supervisor of cleaners, is
another who has been a faithful
Palace minion since the theater
opened it's doors. Electricians
Walter Collins and j. R. Wood are
also members of the Palaces 18
year club, having been there since
the opening, while still another in
this category is the veteran cashier
Mrs. Louise.
Assistant Manager Stanley Bur
lup is the youngest member of the
Vet Club he having been at the
Palace for years starting as an
usher.
From the lineup it can readily
be seen that the Palace staff, from
Manager Ratio down the line. is
an organization built of service.
CARMODY TO CRITIC
There is a rumor that Sara
Churchill, daughter of the English
statesman, will be married to Vic

nation but hopes it's true. Ger
tain is that Mrs. Winston Church
iii is on her way from England to
see the impulsive Sara and discuss
her romance with the comedian
=. Since it seems to be definite
that the new member Of the criti-
cal fraternity for an evening con-
temporary will be Frank j. Car

Natural"

One of the most natural scenes
they ever played was that enacted
by Marion Davies and Clark Gable,
who are costarred in the CoSmo-
politan production, Cain and Ma
BEL" now showing at the Earle
Theater.
The scene required them to leave
the stage door of a theater and
press through a mob of extras
portraying spectators waiting for
the heavyweight champion of the
world and the nations most IA
nous actress. FlaShlight bulbs
flared and dozens of autograph
albums were pushed into the two
players hands.
1T seemed quite a natural stu
alton" Miss Davies and Gable
commented after the scene was
completed.

WILLIAMS BAY, Wis, June o.
A universe made up of stars which
explode periodically like a string of
firecrackerS was pictured last night
by astronomers who watched the
new" star blazing in the northeast
ern sky.
A star under this new conception
is a sort of er-firecracker which
but continues to burn and may ex-
plode again and again.
The universe of fireworks" theory
was proved by the Nova, or new
star" which f1ared up in the heavens
last Thursday night. Dr. Otto Struve,
director of Yerkes Observatory of the
University of Chicago, declared.
Scientists had disagreed for years
of the reason why customarily dim
stars would suddenly burn brightly
and give the illusion Of a new stars
appearance, Dr. Struve explained.
Some said the star exploded; some
said two stars collided: some said two
stars roamed too close together and
tore each other apart by gravita-
tional pull.
Explosion Theory Credited.

MICA TRADE
SAiDON BOOM
WING. Industry Is Better
Than at Any Time Since .
1918, Declared

SPRUCE PINE, Aug. 8. (UP)
Mica markets here are experience
ing the best business for scrap,
punch and pattern mica since
1918.
Prices, however, market men
report, are not as high as they
were at the peak Of the war boom.
Conditions are much more stable,
they said.
Experienced observers here
and in the consuming centers be-
lieve that the use Of punch, pat
tern and scrap will continue to
increase for an indefinite period,
due to the unprecedented national
demand for household electrical
appliances and the rapidly in
creaSing use of electricity for in
dustrial purposes.
In the fine mica markets, con-
ditiOns have not been as good as
in the scrap, punch and pattern
market, the reports say. The ship
ments of fine mica, however, have
been unusually heavy and are
holding up much later in the sum-
mer than usual.
One Of the largest local pro-
ducers of roofing mica is barely
able to fill orders. Usually at this
season local fine mica producers
are storing against the fall de-
mand. r.
Prices, the producers say, in
the wet-ground mica business
have been low and, the competi-
ton keen. With scrap prices ris-
ing and finished products selling
lower, the margin for local pro-
ducers has about disappeared.
Consumers of fine mica arc de-
manding still lower prices, which
some of the local producers seem
to be meeting.
The totals paid out for mica in
Avery, Mitchell and Yancey coun-
ties have exceeded an average of
more than $4,000 a week for
some time.
