BIG TEN OUT
BY LAYTON CARVER

ny LAW = O4N SG1ASN 49,
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. With
Pitt, Fordham, Alabama, Dart
mouth and possibly Yale cur
rently leading in the race for In
vitations to the various bowl
games, the promoters are show.
ing no regrets for the first time in
years over the fact that the Big
Ten has q rule against its men,
beers playing postseason football.
The reason is obvious as you
scan performances to date-the
powerful midweStern conference
has less to offer this year in the
way Of outstanding records than
any other sectional group in the
football business. Out there
where the corn grows tall the
mighty have fallen. In fact, in
some cases they have been pushed
around and then belted over.
Narrowing the thing down, the
team with the most to recommend
it is California, which undoubt-
edly will represent the West, or
host section, in the annual New
Years Day Rose Bowl game at
Pasadena. California has a per-
feet record against the cuStoma-
rily tough coast opposition.
ONLY CLEAN SLATE
Pitt and Fordham have tied
aach 0ther and Dartmouth and
Yale have dealt each other a
similar setback, insofar as the
East is concerned. Alabama has
Q clean slate, with only one touch
down against it, but has taken
on only foes in its own Dixie
sector.
Yale, Of course, may follow its
usual procedure and arch o Su-
perior. brow at the suggestion Of
its playing like hirelings in a
bowl, If invited, but it might break
any and all agreements, on the
other hand, and accept, according
to the word going the rounds.
The YaleS, it win be recalled,
sold broadcasting privileges to
their own games, lending support
to reports that they are Softened
up now to the extent that they
would grab a chunk Of that post
season money, II the chance were
offered.
HAS LESS CHANCE
It may be that Pitt has less
chance Of going west than it gem
orally Is accorded, inasmuch as 1t
went out last year and possibly
has put q slight fray on its vel
come.
However, there still are some
other bowls to be filled, notably
the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans,
for which tickets were placed on
sale Monday Of this week although
the game, like all the rest Of the
similar poSt-SeaSon games, won't
be played until New Year Day.
It is barely possible that they
will produce an encore in this one,
bringing back Santa Clara and
Louisiana State which met last
time and which are ploughing
ahead to good records again. L.

point, while Santa Clara has taken

OF the participants In three
other poSt-SeaSon contests last
year, only DupqueSne and Villa
nova stand a chance Of being re-
invited. The Dukes beat MiSsiS-
sippi State in Miami's Orange

Auburn in Havana's Bacardi Bowl.
Mississippi and Auburn both have
faltered this year, and the same
goes for Texas Christian and Mar

Born to Dance
At Columbia

Born to Dance" has everything
a good musical should have.
Meaning songs, dances, comedy,
spectacle and a swift tempo.
Eleanor Powell, tap dancing
queen, heads the list of principals
in melodious froliC with frothy
story that pauseS frequently to
permit the talented entertainers
to introduce their particular
specialties.
Miss Powell tap dances often
and even introduces a bit of high
kicking; Reginald Gardiner has
an hilarious session as an orcheS-
ira conductor; France Langford
sings; so, if you please, does Una
Merkel and James Stewart; Buddy
EbSen does some of his eccentric
hoofing; Georges and Jalna glide
in ballroom specialties; the Man
dels do their acrobatics.
Between times the story breaks
through. Something about
Navy captain who is trying to
send a message from the subma-

advantage.

Camille Holds
At Palace

Every actress yearns to play Ca
mile" and Greta Garbo-just dec
Grated by the King of Sweden-is
no exception.
Garbo makes an exquisite Lady
of the Camelias, delicate, poised,
restrained and infinitely beautiful
in the gorgeous production of the
famous Dumas story which Metro
GoldWyn-Mayer has provided.
In it's second week at Loew's
Palace Theater the picture has ad-
ditional interest from the fact that
it introduces Robert Taylor in the
role of Armand, the unhappy lover.
Now, Mr.. Taylor has not been
overwhelmed by his distinguished
screen companion. 1t is told that
he dropped the precious Carlo on
the floor when he first attempted
that carrying scene, but quickly re-
covered his assurance and went
through with the task to the salts
faction of Director George Cukor.
Robert Taylor is not the greatest
Armand in history, but just as long
as he is as handsome as he is, his
feminine following take with him,
good or bad. In this picture he is
fair.
There is long list of good sup
porting players in Camille" and
the supplementary screen program
is in the holiday mood, and worth
while.

Tracy Almost Hits
Steamer During Foq

Spencer Tracy never wants
another thrill like the one he had
sailing back from Catalina, where
he had been on location with the
Captains Courageous" company.
Sktppering his own yacht, Tracy
found himself blanketed by a pea
soup fog. He lost his bearings and
was completely lost when warn.
ing foghorn leaped at him out of
the fog.
He recognized the horn as the
Catalina steamers but, customary
with deep fogs, he could not tell
from which direction the sound
was coming.
The warning signal grew louder
and louder. Tracy quickly tackled.
and as he did, the dim wraith-like
outline of the steamer Slithered
past the little yacht.
Tracy'S yacht missed being
sliced in half by only few feet.

Superstitious Star
Given Room No. 273

May I please have dressing
room number 273?"
This was the unusual request
made by Ann Sothern this morn
ing when she arrived at the Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer studios to start
work in Dangerous Number" with
Robert Young.
Studio officials were somewhat
puzzled by her preference for this
particular place, a tiny one-room
affair located at the far end Of
the three-room apartment in the
stars dressing room building that
had been assigned to her.
Conversation, however, revealed
that exactly four years ago to the
month, Ann Sothern, then known
as Harriet Lake, had been stock
girl on this lot, and spent many
hours dreaming of the day when
perhaps she would be a star.
"273" was her dressing room
number.

Souvenir Grabbers
Raid Eddy's House

When Nelson Eddy moved out
of his Beverly Hills home into an
other in the hills, souvenir hunt
ers moved in.
BY the time the movers had
pulled away with their last load, a
group of souvenir seekers was on
hand. Their chief source for items
of interest was the rubbish heap.
The collectors carried off maya
zines, bits of sheet music, cracked
phonograph records and anything
else that could be called some
thing Nelson Eddy once owned"
One fan actually snagged a let
tuce leaf which she said she in
tended to press as she would a
flower. Eddy made the move be-
tween houses suddenly when he
was given two days free time
from work on 'Maytime," with
Jeanette Macdonald.

Plenty of thrills are promised in

The story opens at the christen-
ing of a giant plane designed to
pioneer transatlantic travel serv-
ice. Ralph Morgan, the builder of
the plane; Brian Donlevy, famous
ace who is to fly it; Thomas Beck,
his copilot, and Peter LORE, a

Smart Blonde At-Metrop0|itQn
Stars CIendQ Farrell

Something new in the way of
a feminine character on the
screen is presented in "Srart
Blonde" a myStery-comedy-drama
produced by Warner Bros. and
starring Glenda Farrell, which
opened yesterday at tie Metropol-
itan Theater.
"Torchy Blanc" is the new char
acter, and she is to run through
a series of light yet thrilling pic
lures, impersonated lii each by
the lovely, lively, likeable and
wisecracking Glenda.
1t is true that girl newspaper
reporters have been shown in
films before-but no girl in any
way like Torchy, who is alter
nately flippant and serious; as
nervy as any of her male journal
istic confreres, yet altogether
feminine. Real girl reporters will
be glad to welcome Torchy into
the profession of Ladies of the
Press"
The picture is primarily a muir
der mystery, yet it has plenty of
laughs, and occasional songs and
dances, in nightclub scenes.
Co-featured with Miss Farrell
and aiding her in solving the
myStery-iS husky Barton Mac
Lane, in the role of a police de-
tective. Others in the cast are

week End Millionaire" starring
Buddy Rogers with Mary Brian in
a Gaumont-British production, IS
the New Year fare at the Belasco'
light, airy dish in keeping with
the gayety of the holidays.
This is one of those impossible
tales in which brash young man
with the trifling sum of 300 francs
in his pocket and five millions in
a nice looking leather bag, decides
to play about for the Saturday
Sunday holiday, since the bank
won't open anyway until Monday;
besides there is a girl who smiled
at him and whom he discovers as
a pSeudo-counteSS.
They have a gay time pretend
ing with each other and when the
holiday is over, the money is safe,
the boy has a good job, the girl
has a prospective husband and
everything is lovely in the future.
Not very much to say for Buddy;
you know his penchant for smiling
pleasantly, his not very apparent
ability as an actor, his freshly
scrubbed appearance; a nice, kid,
affable and likeable. Mary Brian
plays about in a typical Mary
Brian role, not too exciting; but
there are couple of comics in the
English manner who are almost
deadly in their exertions in fun
making.
Some will like it, others will not.
There is a short film, however,
which might make you Straighten
