 Hollywood, Aug. 26-For all their singin' and their carTyin' on, those Canovas-Judy, Anne and zeke - are just bunch of city slickers.
 New York night clubs, the zieg- field Follies, the radio with the urbane MT. Whiteman, and now Hollywood! Who said hill-billies?
 Oh, they've been around the mountain - during summer vaca- tions from school. They've collected the songs and speech of the back country folks--and have read what Erskine Caldwell had to say about those same people.
 That Judy-when she isn't clown ing she's a coloratura soprano who studies with Lawrence Tibbetts teacher. Zeke and Anne-they stud fed at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. But none of 'em can call @ hog.
 They lived in Jacksonville, Fla, where their father, now dead, was an architest and cotton broker. He had quite lot of money, but lost most of 1t because he kept buying farms and didn't know any, thing about farming. Their mother

Rios Is one Of the most colorful
athletes in the world. Until 1895 he
not only was unknown as a distance
runner but despised by his fellow
countrymen in his ambition to become
one, which leads to q quaint slant
on this fellow,
