Freddy Sighs
For ENGLAND

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 23.-Ai
though he and his Aunt Myllicent
and his grandparents now are
making their permanent home in
Hollywood, Freddie Bartholomew
still hopes to attend an English
public school eventually.
When I first came to this coun.
try" said Freddie, lit was Aunt
Cissie's idea that any money I
might make in pictures would pay
for my education in an English
public school, because although
we call them public Schools they
are quite expensive. At Harrow
and Eton, Of course, one has to
be enrolled almost as soon as h0
is born. because of the long wait
ing list, and then at II, you must
be able to pass stiff entrance ex-
animation.
II like it very much in America
and I know that I have to bO
thankful to America for having
given me the opportunity which
we did not find in England, but
after all, England is home, and I
had always been brought up to
expect that I would join Peter, my
cousin, and my other friends, in
school there.
IF it should be that remain
over here and attend an American
school and university, then per-
hapS I might be able to win .

Illness Robs Mary Rogers
Of First Film Chance
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. %.

-Oe
For more than three years,
Mary Rogers, daughter Of the late
Will Rogers, had worked hard pre-
pairing herself to follow the cine
matte footsteps Of her distin-
guished father. A couple Of bit
roles in pictures, a gruelling ap-
premiership In stock, and finally
recognition on the Broadway
stage had been her experience be-
fore the goth Century-Fox studio
gave her a contract and her big
opportunity in its most important
picture of the year, "The Last
SLAYER"
But when the cameras began to
turn for that film, Mary Rogers
was not in makeup. Instead, she
was in a Hollywood hospital, a
victim of influenza at the supreme
moment of her young career.
Comforted by the knowledge that
the studio will have another role
for her when she has recovered,
Mary Rogers lies convalescing III
her Los Angeles home.
The role she was to have played,
opposite Warner Baxter in the pic
ture which co7starS him with Wal
lace Beery, will be filled by Eliza
beth Allen, borrowed from M-G-M.
1t was in 1884 that Mary Rogers
was found working under an as
sumed name in a minor role in
my Weakness" at the then Fox
studios, and it was learned that
once before she had done the
same thing at another studio.
When Will heard of it, he gave
his daughters ambitions his bless
ing, but counseled her to seek
training outside films before Ct

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 23.-In the

Beverly Hills is a grand piano, an
electric organ and q machine OF
many parts which looks like a
scientists workshop but really
makes records.
Not one of these instruments is

Of Nelson Eddy, singing star Of
motion pictures, radio, concert
stage and phonograph record
ingS.
BUILDING A HOME
His living room has these mu-
sical items because much Of the
stars work is done at home.
He is sitting in one of the easy
chairs listening to an arrangement
of one of the numbers he is to sing
when the interviewer arrives.
Eddy rises and greets the visitor
warmly.
"Sit down." he invites. Before
we start talking let me have one
say. I don't hate Hollywood"
The interviewer face expresses
surprise.
I'm constantly being quoted as
disliking motion pictures" Eddy
explains, land wanted to be sure
to tell you that before we got too
interested in other things.
"Why people think should
hate Hollywood, I don't know.
Maybe it's because I leave the city
for several months each year, but
that is for concert work. I love
Hollywood and screen work. I'm
going to build my home here
Soon."
With such a start, the subject
naturally jumps to his current
picture, 'Maytime," in which
Eddy once more is co-Starred with
Jeanette Macdonald.
LIKES THE RADIO
Yes, he replies, 1t will have me
and Miss Macdonald in costume
once more. He likes the role and
the music.
But, besides this screen work,
Eddy is busy on other things. In
fact, he is a terrifically busy
young fellow.
First, there are his radio broad
casts. He is in the midst of
new series which extend for 26
weeks.
Radio is a lot more work than
people suspect" he says. I'VE
have to plan long and carefully
for each half-hour program be-
cause we really are packing As

1t seems to Eddy as though
some rehearsal is going on in his
home all of the time. An average

is needed for each half-hour pro-
gram.

spend at least an hour every day
for five days to prepare for each

News Behind the News
= This Housing Boom

WASHINGTON. Opinion appears to vary
to how much of the potential l6 billion dollar
housing boom suggested by Roosevelt actually
can be realized.
The problem of reducing building material
and labor costs which the President will tackle
in promised conferences with industry, LABOR
and finance, and which he says must be met
if the proposed boom is to succeed is very Tar
from solved
The effectiveness of proposed changes in the
Federal Housing Administration law, although
calculated to make housing investment signify
more attractive, also is questioned.
Some experts believe that early next year
the pressure of insurance company and mutual
savings bank funds yearning for investment
will begin to flood into the housing field, regard
less of administration moves.
Others suspect that the strike of capital
will balk the Roosevelt effort until the admin
istration makes various concessions to Wall
Street finally defes reluctant private capital
and undertakes TO launch a huge house building
program of its own.
Finally there appears to be much doubt as
to Just how large a consumer market there is
for housing and just how much potential
buyers renters can afford to pay.
The National Housing Committee report will
show that the number of families which can
afford to pay $50 month for rent is now about
a third as large as the number in 1929, when
ii was figured at about 100000 non-farm faml-
lies. (Roughly income of $50 week can
economically pay rent of about $50 month on
a house costing an average of about $4,000
The report Will snow tIlat oo per cent OI All
dwelling units built in the period of l930-37,
when prices of building materials and labor aver
aged less than at present, cost $4,000 or more.
(Roosevelt makes a moderate estimate of $4,000
per unit" in the boom which the administration
hopes will appear to beat the depression0
The committees survey will show that there
is practically shortage in houses costing
$4,000 or more, no considerable shortage in the
range renting between $50 and $50 month,
but a great shortage in the range renting from
$50 to $50 month.
This suggests confirmation Of the Presidents S
idea that prices and rents of new dwellings must
be driven we'll below present levels if any i'm
portant results are to be achieved.
The National Housing Committee of which
Monsignor John A. Ryan is chairman, is COM
posed of industrialists, labor leaders and others
of national prominence
Findings indicate that the middle Income
groups which buy average. modest homes have
not emerged from the depression well, proper
tionately, as the higher income groups and the
very low income groups
Some housing experts think that raising the
inSurable limit on FILA loans from 80 to 80
per cent will be no great stimulus to home
building. One reason is that this raises the
rying charge load. offseting the half-of-one per
cent reduction in the monthly payment, FILA
has found, has been the chief deterrent to would
