he should go a long way. Several

On the other hand the Collegians
have proven so far this season to
be fairly capable of taking care of
themselves having lost but two
games this season. Incidently both
of their losses were suffered at
the hands of Ohioan squads from
Cleveland and Columbus. Whether
Buckeye competition is too tough
for John Roxborough's charges,
can best be determined Friday
night. If the Collegians lose it will
look as though Ohio is a jinx to
Detroit while if they win it will be
no more than they anticipate.

. Charges that Miss Waters atti-
tude had influenced other mem
bers of the cast to so embarrass
the white star that she collapsed
and withdrew from the revue
were printed by Edna Ferguson, a
reporter for the New York Daily
News. Immediately on the story's
appearance, Miss Powell sent a
telegram to Miss Waters declar-
ing the article absolutely untrue
and a wire to the News demand
ing retraction. Miss Waters
has also made several requests
for corrections, she states, but
thus far they have been complete
ly ignored.
Meanwhile, Josephine Baker,
now appearing on Broadway in
the new "Ziegfeld Follies" is be-
ing accused of causing the with
drawal of Fannie Brice, due to eth
er illness or anger and the tenn
orary closing down Of the revue.
According to the story, there has
been a fued between the white
star and Miss Baker over proml-
nence in billing.
In the telegram sent to Miss
Waters as soon as the News arti-
Gle appeared, Miss Powell stated:
MY dear Ethel: No statement
nor article such as the malicious
one appearing in today's Daily
News cauld possibly express a
greater untruth or misstatement
Of facts. Your friendship, coop
Grafton and help is something l
have always appreciated and | will
be happy to get back TO work as
quickly as the doctors will permit
which | hope will be in few
days. Sincerely, Eleanor Powell
In the communication to Miss
Ferguson of the News, the dane
ing sensation declared that her
association with AT H m e
Abroad had been very agreeable
and if she had been dissatisfied
she would not have stayed with
the show five months. Miss Pow
ell avowed her friendship for both
Miss Waters and Beatrice Lille
and stated both had given her
their utmost cooperation. A de-
NAL was asked IN order to save
needless embarrassment to all
concerned.
Miss Waters also told the re-
porter that the entire story was
false and asked for a correction.
Thus far the News has not pub
lished any of these letters or a
correction.
