MeIOdram q
OF Film Star
Fits Carlo

Almost any kind Of fiction
about film stars commands a
large group of readers. People
are still curious as to what
really "goes on" in the private
lives of the movie luminarieS
and aside from that there is
the enlivening pastime Of guess
ing identities.
No one can really say that
Virginia Tracy's Personal Ap-
pearance of a LionesS" is about
Greta Carlo. The likeness on
the cover resembles Marlene
Dietrich. And the heroine's
Svengali figures in her career,
if not her personal life, more
after the manner Of Won Stern
berg than any individual now
present in CARLOS scheme Of
things.
Nevertheless, Miss Tracy's
description Of the queen Of the
cinema capital fits Carlo like
a glove.
It must be borne in mind,
however, that Personal Appear
ance Of a LioneSs" is something
that never happened. Carlo
did have a double who caused
her some agonizing moments.
But so does Alice Faye. And
CARLOS double was not shot
dead before her eyes. Miss
Tracy makes UP her mystery
out Of whole cloth but writes
about stars and studio policies
and directors in a striking bio
graphical style. The story is
good and SO are the star por.
traits.
Consider, for instance, the
plight Of a public figure, the
idol Of millions, suddenly strip
ped Of her Identification.
ignored, unrecognized, alone.
Go a little further and find
that same celebrity charged
with killing her double and
you'll have a fairly good idea
of what the story is about.
Miss Tracy, in addition to her
talents as a story teller, is an
actress Of no small merit and
is best remembered for her work
under the Theater Guild ban
ner.

Zweig Pens
A Folk Tale

Stefan Zweig has paused in
his biographical work to give
his readers a quiet but powerful
folk tale of the Jewish race In
his latest novel, THE Buried
Candelabrum."
It Is an ancient legend sur
rounding the Menorah, the seven
branched Candelabrum which
was originally placed in the
Temple Of Solomon. AS the
story opens the looting of Rome
by Genseric was to begin.
With a simplicity of style that
is remarkable for its depth Of
feeling the author describes the
fears and actions Of the Jews as
the vandals appear along the
road from Portus to begin sys-
tematic looting Of the great city.
The Candelabrum is taken away.
AS a result it is decided that
the elders Of the community, all
those over the age of three-score
and ten years are to accompany
their holy treasure until it is
taken aboard ship and away
from them forever. With the
party of old men goes BENJAMIN,
a lad of seven, who is taken so
that he can retell the story to
the generations to come after
the old men pass away.

Famous Collection
Of Stamps Burned

Fire has destroyed one Of the
greatest stamp collections in the
world, that of Pedro Geurin, in
Barcelona, Spain.
The Guerin collection was dis
played at the Third Interna-
tional Stamp Exhibition in New
York, where it won an award Of
honor.
The Guerin collection repre-
sented one Of the foremost
studies of the famous 6-cuarto
black of 1850-Spain'S first
postage stamp, with a portrait
Of Queen Isabella II. An elab-
crate monograph, covering plat
ing and postmarks, was being
prepared by Senior Guerin. and
it is now considered doubtful
that the book will appear.

Of Miniature
Sheets Sold

Collectors Of miniature sheets
received several additions to
their collections last week. The
special sheet of four stamps Of
the First Jugoslavia Philatelic
Exhibition, which was held at
Belgrade from September IL to
10 arrived.
The sheets, printed on heavy
bond paper from steel engrav.
ings, are said to be limited to
100000. According to report,
the entire issue was sold out
during the first few days Of
the show.
SAN MARINO SHEET
The San Marfno sheet, which
appeared at the same time, is
reported to be from a printing
of 10000, but no definite infor-
nation as to the quantity or
method of sale has been received.
To raise money for the Eu-
gene Ysaye Musicians Fund, the
Belgian government printed
100000 special miniature sheets.
The sheets were printed by
rotogravure process and were
sold at a premium to stamp col
lectors. Advance orders are
said to have been so heavy that
only 10 per cent are being filled.
GEORGE vi STAMPS
Another stamp which may be
assumed to be miniature sheets
is the special bicolored Mica
ragua Commemorative Airmail.
The total face value of the set
is 5 cordobas and it is said that
10000 complete sets Of IL
stamps each were issued. The
stamps, curiously enough, come
