TARP0N ELUDE
PRESIDENT

GALVESTON, Tex, May 3
G.N.SO From comfortable an
chorage off Port Arkansas, Presi-
dent Roosevelt set out today for
another whirl at the much-touted
tarpon fishing which lured him
to the gulf for his spring cruise.
A matter of parental pride was
at stake. Elliott, the Presidents
second son, already had landed a
5-foot, finch tarpon despite muddy,
rough waters.
Equally good tarpon fishing
appeared to prevail here in the
channel at Galveston. where Mar
vim H. Mcintyre and a skeleton
White House staff have set up
temporary offices. The chamber
of commerce hung five-foot,
nine-inch tarpon out front of the
main motel entrance as proof.
So far, since President RooSe-
welt and his fishing flotilla left
New Orleans Thursday after
noon. he has had little luck.
Governor James V. Alfred
flew from Austin to Port Ar
ansas yesterday and journeyed
out to the presidential anchor
age by small boat to extend
the official welcome of Texas.

AIDS
RACE STUDY

With the aid of new science
known as "typogeny," DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, curator of physical an
thropology in the Smithsonian In,
stitution, partially has solved the
enigma of differences between the
various human races.
He has segregated those body
organs which most distinguish
race, it was announced yesterday
These are the hands, feet, nose
palate, lower jaw, first rib, sea
pula, sacrum, the long bones and
the Sternum. In explaining his
theory, however, DR.. Hrdlicka
pointed out:
pure race types are rare, and
between two types are many
intergra datiO MS belonging
clearly neither to one race nor
the other. Some N the types are
clear at birth, but most not until
near or within aduIthOOd."

Manhattan Melodranla' Tops Twin Offering
 Opening Tomorrow

Thousands of patrons of the Loew Poli theater wil lbe grateful for the united return engagement of Manhattan Melodrama" and Trader Horn", which the man. agement has succeeded in securing for a four day showing starting Saturday.
 Red-blooded drama, with the glamour of New York night life as kaleidoscopic background; romance, excitement, and three gerat stars together for the first time. ...
 That's Manhattan Melodrama," the Clark Gable, William Powell, Myrna Loy starring vehicle.
 To say that the picture is excel lent entertainment is merely stating the mild truth. It would be hitting more near the truth to say that here is a modern classic that is expected fro mthe producer and director of such memorable hits as Dinner at Eight" Dancing Lady," Eskimo, and Little Women.
 Gable, in Manhattan Melodrama" has the type of a role that fans love him best in. He plays a big-Shot gambler, lucky at cards and lucky at love, willing to bet a dallor or his life on the turn of card = a powerful and dramatic figure of the metropolitan area.
 Fitted against him is William Powell as his lifelong friend, now district attorney and ambitious for further political advancement.
 Between them, loved by both, IS Myrna Loy. It is she who fights TOT his life when his pal, Powell, sls forced to prosecute him for murder.
 There is not 8 dull moment m Manhattan Yokohama" from the first scenes, in which are dramatic ally re-enacted the General Slocum horror of 1904, an excursion steamer fire in which more than 1000 lost their lives. After that comes a re- creation of the Harry Thaw-Stam- ford White killing of 1906. The story continues into the present day for the body of the story. Gable has never done finer piece of dramatic work than in this new picture.
 He plays this role with suave. ness that is believable and charm ing.
 William Powell is up to his usua standard of excellence, while MS! Loy, fast elevated to stardom, play her role with feeling and believing naturalness.

FRANCE CLAIMS
 HIGHLAND FLING

Paris (UP)-Most of the, typical European dances originated in Southern France many. centuries ago, the Academic Provencale"- a group formed for research in folklore and folk customs = has aI1- nou1lced.
 Even the Maypole and the Horn-
 pipe, Britain's famous folkdances, are of French origin. The May pole, the survey revealed, IS an Anglo Saxon version of the old French corporation dance, and the .Hornpipe is 8 development and
 variation of the .Viaiarello, which
 has been danced in Southern
 France for centuries. The Rus-
 sian ballet as wei, was in 3 large part composed about a century ago
 by a Frenchman, Marius Petitpas who is recognized in Russia as the
 father. of the ballet. r According to the Academic
 Provencile,"s music as vel loves a
 great debt to Provence-the de- partment in which it and the
 dances originated. The tambourine,
 basic dance instrument of Spain
 and all Latin American countries,
 also comes from Provence. Even church music was greatly.
 influenced by the schools of Pro-
 vence in the 9th century, when the
 principal subjects recommended for these schools were Roman law, re-:
 thoric and music. ( All these songs and dances still
 exist nowadays in, Provence. Fred eric Mistral, great Provencal poet,
 founded a. society, which ever since l its foundation has preserved the ] customs and traditions of his time.

 Program at State

Performances this evening mark your last opportunity to see Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart' in Marked Woman, also That Mans Here Again" with Hugh Herbert and a great supporting cast of fun makers.
 Starting tomorrow the State will present a big special Mothers Day" program for four days. According to Mark Twain. the late great nov elist and humorist, his story, "The Prince and the Pauper," is one of those things that might have hap- pened." .1
 It is the tale of two boy babies born in London at the same moment in the 16th century being Prince Edward, heir to the throne; the other being Tom Canty, brat of ruffian and thief. And Twain had them resemble each other iden- tically-meet-change clothes--get their childish lives ali mixed up.
 It was a great novel. It became a great stage play Now it has reached its top heights as movie, which comes to the State tomorrow because at last the perfect players to fit the title roles have been found in Billy and Bobby Mauch.
 They're pair of what science calls identical twins" Billy and Bobby Mauch whom you may have heard on the radio within the past couple of years. They're so much alike that even their own mother can't tell them apart except for one little thing. One of them (you shan't be told which, is left-handed.

 Hollywood.-Mary Carlisle is the only actress ever to play the fem mine lead in two Bing Crosby pie lures. The crooner was being made a little uneasy by the unbroken Suc- cession of leading women who were walking in and out of his cinematic life. Even in front of the camera a guy likes to see familiar face once in while.
 And now comes Miss Carlisle, alumna of College Humor," 33, to rejoin him in Double or Nothing, '' a post t-graduate comedy. I've for gotten the story, but I'm going to like the picture because all the songs are introduced with reason and some credibility, as when Crosby and Miss Carlisle are walking along the street and decide they want to dance.
 So they turn on the radio in a parked car, and they dance, and Crosby sings, and a cop comes up and asks whether they're drunk, ! 1nGy are 1lOC, CA1Cy doouAC AAhA drunk. The cop says, Then may I cut in?" And he does.
