Youngsters appreciate Santa Claus.
The old folks at home are sometimes
inclined to adopt formula in his stead
but it requires genuine Mother Goose
sentiment to revive the old spirit which
finds treasures in the rag bag as we'll

and the years that understand its
thought to restore old Santa to mature
comprehension.

Dexter Fellows, the circus advance
agent, is dead. He is kindly remembered
by many a youngster who recalls him
as the man who never faltered when he
faced the question, How many?" 1t
would be strange If Dexter Fellows was
not loved by children, so many of whom
have learned to hold him In deepest
gratitude.

 PERFECT PLOT"
 FOR HOLLYWOOD
Nine Old Men May Find Way to Screen Tn One
 Way or Another
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, May 12.-If you caught this item in the film trade papers Che other day you doubt less began work immediately on a scenario:
 New York-Condor Productions have purchased screen rights to Nine old Men the Pearson-Allen oook about the Supreme Court"
 This is merely to go on record with my own scenario.
 We open with shots of little Col die Shirley Temple) who is theme songing, Pack, Pack, Pack Your Blues Away" as she dances in the cornfields with Faithful Sam (Step- in Fetehitt). After three choruses we have closeup of Shirley, reg iistering worry.
 The Plot Thickens
 Ensuing sequences reveal that Shirley worries because her lov- able, worthless Uncle Gus (Wally Beery) is a topper. One shot of Wally. sprawled in drunken stupor in their clean but humble hut un- Ger the magnolia trees, will estab- fish this.
 Home from college rides Buck Benny Robert Taylor) to reclaim his childhood sweetheart, School msrm Rosie Barbara Stanwyck) and see what can be done. That night under the moonlit magnolias Stanwyck tells Taylor she cannot go on like this. Taylor tells stanwyck he cannot go or like this either Suddenly Taylor's great-uncle Joe, a crotchety olc Confederate Colonel Gionel Barry more) appears and mutters that things have come to pretty pass
 Enter The Villain
 Meanwhile Bay Guy Bloke CEd- ward G. Robinson is showering Stanwyck with handsome atten- tions. To make matters worse, Buck Taylor has ridden to Wash ington to see what can be done.
 Finally Bad Guy, really a city gangster hiding out, threatens tt take Stanwyck and Shirley for { ride. In desperation Stanwck pack up everybody and the Goldwyn girl and rides to Washington.
 There the happy group joins Bucl Taylor in a colossal night club set
 Then we see Stanwyck and Fay Tor in a clinch, Wally happily sous ed, Bay Guy Robinson in jail Mischa climbing chandeliers, Shir icy saying her prayers, and final. Taylor, beaming at Stanwyck, say ing:
 Tn the morning, dear, we talk, our troubles to the Supreme Court I know at last I know-that some thing can be done!' (Fadeout)

NEW MOVIES READY TO BE

Bob Montgomery, Regard ed as Find Proves
 Capable, New Role

HOLLYWOOD. Cal, May. 12. - Robert Montgomery had to fight to do 1t. but he has done it. If you see Night Must Fall' you must agree that the boy can act. <.
 Here is a murder picture as far removed from the average screen thriller as a Tiffany diamond from dime store sparkler. It is in no sense a guessing contest like the average mystery film. You know, almost from the first, that Danny the hotel page boy, is, the murderer.
 You watch him, live with him, see him carry on his masquerade of innocence while plotting other murders, see him break in terror when alone and yet strive further to lift himself "to distinction H Baby-Faced Boy Watching Montgomery's cfarac- 1 terization, you see the workings of misshapen mentality in the midst of everyday surroundings. Danny, the baby-faced page boy, worms his way cleverly into the service of an old country woman Dame May Whitty) and intrigues her repressed niece Rosalind RusselD who lives with her. AS the girl who suspects and yet is fascinated by the killer, Miss Russell gives a brilliant per- formance, and Dame May Whitty, especially in a later dramatic se- quence, proves herself real addi- tion ,..
 Eerie, suspense-filled, and morbid in a sense, the film should prove exciting to many and, to psychiat- rists, real delight.
 To play the role, Montgomery had to buck studio convictions that he was fitted only for the cocktail shaking playboy parts of his more recent past. He collected fan crit icisins of himself in previous roles and used them as an argument. After the picture got under way, Metro began to realize that it had something, and production plans were expanded.
 To young director Richard Thorpe this was real opportunity and he has made the most of it. His first ambitious undertaking, tn e, fiji m owes much of it's quality to his touch.
 Another Triangle Story
 For "The Woman Love- praise can be more reserved Director Anatoie Litvak had a time-worn triangle, some exciting serial war fare stories from previously re- leased foreign version of the same story, and a capable cast for his materials
 Louis Hayward plays the young aviation officer who falls in love with Marian Hopkins. She is the wife of the man (Paul Numb who is to become his companion and best friend. The situation is no more and no less interesting than usual, despite the efforts of all con- cerned. The work of the principals lifts it above the ordinary run of war stories, and a youngster named Wally Albright (not so long ago he was a curly-headed baby in Gloria Swanson films brightens the pro- ceedings.
 Helen Broderick got her first start in Fifty Million Frenchmen," and so did Betty Compton, who is Mrs. Jimmy Walker. Another to see stardom promised in the same re- vue was Evelyn Hoey, who was found slain last year on a rural farm in Pennsylvania .. The Hoey girl was one of the real beau- i ties of the theatrical world -. Her forte was singing torch ditties in nigntclubs.

MARRIAGE SEEN
 AS HEALTH AID

A
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 12.-- Marriage might not be cure-all remedy, but Dr. J. c. Geiger, city health director. reported that medi- cal statistics compiled by his office show the following:
 1.-Married couples are 50 per cent more immune to tuberculosis than unmarried males and females.
 2.-Death rates in single women from cerebral hemorrhage are "ccn- siderably higher" than married fe- males of advanced age.
 Marriage reduces worry and mental depression.
 Two important items in regard to the marital death rates in San Francisco are, first, tuberculosis in. which the deaths in the single group are so much greater for both male and female--virtually 50 per cent more than the married group" said Dr. Geiger.
 Second, in cerebral hemorrhage in the higher age groups the death rates in single women are consider ably higher.
 Tt must be considered from these figures that marriage offers a greater precaution against tubercu- losis and cerebral hemorrhage.
 And" Dr.. Geiger added, since depressed mental conditions and worry are essential factors in both of these groups, marriage would statistically tend to reduce both worry and mental depression"

SUPERVISION CO.ORDINATINC IN SEARCH FOR SIX SOVIET
 AVIATORS LOST IN NORTH


 "Pah" he told this reporter dur ing an interview shortly before he disappeared in the Arctic.
 "Stefansson never was miles from land on that journey" But Stefansson said he was sev- eral hundred miles from land and his diary of his journey shows this. Moreover, he said, he and his men never lacked meat. He didn't go within many miles of the Pole, but he argued that conditions at the Pole were lit tie different from those he exper- fenced over the ice between northern Alaska and far dist ant point in northern Canada to which he and his men travelled.
 That is one reason he believes the Russians will not Starve. An other is that they had 45-day supply of food with them. Stef- ansson thinks there is good chance for rescue.

The Nome daily nugget., 1937-09-20

WASHINGTON, - Efforts at rescuing the Russian fiiers lost in the Arctic open again a quaint little chapter in northern explor- ation.
 Vilhjalmar Stefansson, tops in exploring in the dog team days, is coordinating the rescue efforts with headquarters in the Russ ian embassy here. Stefansson is generally conceded to know his Arctic. But he had one noted crit ic. the late Roald Amundsen, him self lost amid the ice foes with several companions who set out in plane to rescue the second and ill-fated Mobile flight into the Arctic in 1928.
 Stefansson says there is no dan ger of the Russians starving If they landed with any equipment. Moreover, he says, they probably could land their plane safely on the ice. Years ago, Stefansson and a pair of college youths travelled afoot across part of the ice area in which the present search is being conducted.
 Seal Diet
 They couldn't carry enough food to last them for the two months or more they expected to be on the ice. Stefansson planned that they should live of the country" by eating seal meat. It was an ex perience, but they survived in good health.
 Since then several experiments in various colleges have been conducted to prove that man cannot live on meat alone. Stef- ansson was reminded of one mid western school which put sever al students on meat diet. At the end of two weeks the men al most turned inside out at the sight of meat, cooked or raw. Worried experimenters promptly ended the test with a conclusion that it would not work. They put their men back on a balanced diet.
 Out on the ice with his two companions, Stefansson had the same experience. At the end of two weeks the men could not eat any more meat. Their stom- achs rebelled at the sight of fresh seal blubber or any other kind of blubber. But Stefansson wait ed. He had been through it. Af- ter a day or two of eating noth- ing, the mems appetite for blub- Der returned. It had to. There was no balanced diet of cabbage and spinach they could turn to out there on the ice. They had to eat seal and like it. They did.
 Amundsen's Dissent
 Part of Stefansson's purpose in making the journey was to esta- blish that animal life existed on or under the ice regardless of the distance from land, and that men could survive on what they could kill. That's where Arnundsen comes in.
 He scoffed at Stefansson's con-

His counsel announced that he will
testify as soon as the state COM

She admitted that the only reac-
