By MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London, Aug l9.-Mrs. James Corrigan of the U. s. A. has left England. And THAT, to socialites, would be socialites and just ordinary folks over here, Is sign that the London Season is definitely over. For Mrs. Corrigan who is star shines best when there Is Season.
 For the few whose lineage, ade- holds and possessions are all duly noted in the most exclusive Eng fish social register, Mrs. Corrigan is thet rue dollar queen, because she has heaps of those silver discs and losses them around with @ lavish hand when she gives her famous parties. She Is the gold en lady bountiful who showers golden cigaret cases. golden sus- penders, golden sock holders, golden powder puffs upon her delighted guests.
 Escapes Bourgeois U. s.
 Mrs. Corrigan never was known t~ be member of the inner circles in the social sets which deem them- selves 1t" in New York. Bar liar. bor, Newport and Palm Beach. Those sets, not so far removed from the red flannel shirts, the peddler's packs, the river ferry, or the coun- try groceries of their grand-daddies, never learned to know Mrs. Corri- gan. So she up and left Americas fair shores and proceeded to con- quer In Rome, Paris and London, where the elect have real family trees, castles, great country es- tates and often also mortgages and mothballs.
 Howsoever that may be- Mrs. Corrigan is very much "in." So much "in" that just a few weeks ago one of her parties was at tended by the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Which is to say there can be no whicher. Beyond Brit ish royalty you can hardly 90 so- cially.
 Steel Fortune Behind Her
 Mrs. Corrigan first began to loom on London's social horizon about 1921. She came attended by her fond husband and his check book. Corrigan was one of the guiding geniuses of the Corrigan- Mckinney Steel company of Cleveland. They

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

Every once in a while a bridge player picks up hand which defies classification, either as a good one- bid. forcing bid of two or a game bid. Such hands are laws unto them- selves and the proper bid Is not to be found by consulting books, however authoritative; nor author ities, no matter how generally ac- cepted.
 Today's hand is case in point. South has c tremendous hand in high cards and requires from his partner only the slightest distribu-

 HIDDEN TALENTS IN COHAN DRAMA
Huge Cast Used to Depict FDR's Mystery
 Story Idea

| Although Paul Kelly will never be a Bing Crosby or a Fred Astaire, he can look back at his role in Song and Dance Man" and feel lsatisiied that he at least accom- plished the art of singing and danc- ing to some degree of success. Kelly, who in all his career was never called upon .o sing or dance, surprised himself and everyone on the lot when he not only learned to tap nifty tap for the picture, but turned out to be a singer as well.
 T never sang a note in my life" he told Sidney Clare, the song writ 1 CT, when Clare approached him with the words to a song he had written for Kelly to sing in the picture.
 You never danced in your life, either, until you started work on this picture reminded Clare.
 All right, then" said Kelly. I'll Itry it-but just once, mind you, just once"
 Just once was enough to reveal that Kelly's voice was more than adequate to rendition of the song Ton A Holiday in My Play Room" which Kelly sings in the picture.
 Tn Song and Dance Man" which comes tonight to the Coliseum The atre, Kelly enacts the role of a
 vaudeville hoofer opposite Claire Trevor, his partner, who leaves
 him behind for a career on the
 Broadway stage.

 He's out of order; we are not talking about the University" de- clared George Laiblin of the Sec ond. Several others voiced the same sentiment and the Speaker ruled that the members should stick to the bill. However, it did not deter MT. Nerland from rising in de- fense of the University, declaring he did not believe it the right atti- tude. No tuition is charged stu dents from the States who attend the University and some criticism has been heard that resident stu dents in Alaska have been unable to get into the University because of the crowded conditions, but that there are good many Outside stu dents registered.
 Following up his inquiry of the afternoon, MT. Race last night in troduced House Bill 104, the last measure in the hopper, which pro- vides that all nonresident students pay tuition at the University.
