 The Truth About Garbo: Greta Garbo is the same mysterious per- son to her fellow workers as she is to the outside world. Shes the first one in the studio in the morn ing and the first to leave at night. We have dressing rooms in the same building, but I've never seen her. She did send message to the stage once, asking if she could watch me dance. At the last minute she changed her mind, when she saw the stage was filled with people.

Famous BurIesque Queen Featured in You Can't

Rhythm, sweet, trembly and low down; heavenly song hits by Cor don and Revel: scrumptious girls; parade of personalities headed oy Alice Faye, The Ritz Brothers and Don Ameche; flying fiddles, not trumpets and honey crooners; dancing feet like rain on the roof; and the insanest antics ever from the Ritzmaniacs-Twentieth Gen. tury Fox includes everything for a smash hit in "You Can't Have Ev- erything," singsational new musi- cal show opening tomorrow at the Loew Poli Theater.
 All the uproar, swing, brilliance, and freshness expected from the entertainment makers who pro- duced "Sing. Baby, Sing, Thanks A Million" "On the Avenue, '" ''Wake Up and Live" is topped by a galaxy of featured talent, which also includes Charles Winninger Louise Hovick (the former Gypsy Rose Lee) Rubinoff and his violin, Tony Martin, Arthur Preacher, Phyiiss Brooks, Tip, Tap and Toe. Louis Prima and his hot band, and Tyler Brooke.
 A perefct example of his con- cept, proved at the box-offices again and again, that entertain nlent in its strictest form is the most successful, You Can't Have Everything" is a swift-paced mus ical show in Daryl zanuck's best manner. Every entertainment ele- ment finds its ideal niche in the gay screen play by Harry Tugend, Jack Yellen and Carl Tunberg adapted from an original story by Gergory Ratoff.
 Rubinoff's facile violin starts the story off on a mad, musical career by serving to introduce Alice Faye, a hopeful young playwright penni- less in New York, to Dor Ameche, successful author of bright and fragile musical comedies. Currently appearing in Ameche's latest show are the Ritz Brothers and Louise Hovick, the latter an exciting new personality making her first screen appearance.
 To further his romantic aims Ameche has Charles Wjnninger, his producer, buy Miss Faye's tragedy, which the Ritz Brothers proceed to adapt, with considerable blue-pen- cilling, into a rowdy farce.
 A steady round of singing, danc- ing and comedy intersperses the light action to produce a we'll rounded gem. of fun and amuse- ment.

"America," as Word, Born
In 1907 in French Town

Although America was born, his
torically speaking, in 1892, it was
not named and christened until is
years later at Saint Die, small and
attractive French town in the Vos-
ges district, writes Paris United
Press correspondent.
The baptismal certificate is still
there as we'll as the baptismal font
where this historical christening
took place.
The baptismal certificate consists
of a map upon which the newly dis
covered continent was designated
for the first time as America, by
Martin Waldseemueller, one of the
photographers, and the baptismal
font is the building, still standing,
where those photographers of four
centuries ago labored.
It was at Saint Die that a small
group of scholars carried on their
researches and made eager use OF
the new art of printing. In an in

Half-Masting the Flag

Half-masting the national flag
in token of mourning originated at
sea, as the use of the term mast
instead of "staff'' indicates. Hoist
your sales half mast high" said
Captain Smith in his "Seaman's
Grammar" published in 1927. The
custom dates back several centu-
ries and probably grew out of the
earlier custom of lowering the flag
on vessels at sea as a sign of sub
mission to a foe. The flag is also
lowered to half-mast as signal OF
distress, practice followed by the
Spanish as early as the Seventeenth
century. According to flag etiquette,
when a national flag is placed at
haIf-mast as tribute of respect to
the dead it is first raised to the top
of the staff or mast and then slowly
lowered to a position at or near the
middle of the staff.
