THE camera as faithful reporter
starts telling its story of the
Braddock-Louis championship bout at
the Cameo Theater, Mt. Rainier, this
morning. Every hour on the hour
from noon to midnight for the next
10 days (how's that for schedule?)
the fight reels will be shown at the
Sidney Lust house The knockout,
abiding by the tradition, will be done
in slow motion. The cameras, set up
at the ringside. record not merely the
action of the gladiators but the swish
and sock of every blow
TIME alone, of course, will prove
just how right the assumption is
but Warner Brothers seem to have
done well by the casting Of "Tovarich."
The Jacques Deval-Robert Sherwood
comedy will have Claudette Colbert
and Charles Boyer in the roles handled
so nobly by Marta Abba and John
Halliday on the stage. Both of them
have demonstrated a fair for light,
intelligent comedy which should divert
none of the enthusiasts for the original
from the screen adaptation. Miss
Colberts aptitude for such things is
being fully and convincingly demon
strated at the moment in Il Met Him
in Paris" at the Metropolitan. :.
Mr.. Hardie Meakin, full of enthusiasm
for New Faces of 1887" announces
that it will be screened Monday
morning at IL AS so critics can see how
right he is in boasting Of Keiths next
picture. :. There's variety in Trans
Lux's show starting today. Study OF
the program shows that it ranges all
the way from Roosevelt High School
graduation ceremonies to the plight Of
Poland as a buffer state in Europe
The latter is in the March OF Time"

Twentieth Century-Fox is about to
wipe Simone Simon OF its starring
lists and charge off a publicity loss
OF close to S250,000. No actress of
modern talkie times was given a more
elaborate build-up than this French
actress when she reported to the
Zanuck studio some 18 months ago.
But in spite OF 1t all, she has proved
herself only mediocre box Office at

Simone has been a first-class enigma
to her sponsors from the moment she
first stepped on to their lot. Overly
sensitive and wholly unfamiliar with
the language and customs of her new
associates. she threw double guard
about herself. She refused to lend the
slightest cooperation to those who
had been assigned to the difficult task
OF making her overnight a world

language little better when she left

"It's just another sign that audiences

dead heroes and heroic deaths. With
conlmendable realism he remarks:
1T isn't reasonable to expect that

pretty inevitable for all of us. And
where the death, as in Captains
Courageous is the climax of dramatic
action that changes the lives of others
for the better, an actor ought to be
proud to die.
The day is over when the ending
OF a picture has to be re-shot because
the public won't accept its star meet
ing DEATH"
TRACY, speaking so bluntly on that
subject, is not merely justifying
himself and his own several deaths on
the screen. He is not that kind of
person. He is even more admlring Of
the demises which have preceded his
own current courageous passing.

HAD Tracy desired, he might have
pointed out, too, that hero and
heroine do not always have to live
happily ever after when they manage
to live through the action of a modern
film. He may not have seen it, but
there was the case of Marked

OF the same point was to be seen in

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-Screen
Comedian Ted Healy died of acute
toxic nephritis, induced by acute
chronic alcoholism-not as a result Of
hstic hlows---the county autopsy sur
geon reported today, ending a police
investigation into the "stooge kings"
death.
Police said they learned Mr.. Healy
struck at Albert Broccoli. %, scion of
wealthy Long Island family, at the
height of gay, bibulous celebration
Sunday night Of the birth Of son to
the comedian
Mr.. Broccoli told officers he pushed
but did not strike Healy.
Police said that since the autopsy
showed Mr.. Healy's death was not
caused by blows, they would drop their
investigation. The actor died Tues
day after being delirious several hours.
Funeral services were to be held
today Il pm. E. S. IT, at st. Angus
tins Church, Culver City: Mr.. Healy
will be buried in Calvary Cemetery,
near the grave of his mother, who died
six months ago.
His widow, the former Betty Hick-
man of Pasadena, is in a hospital.
She gave birth to a son, John Jacob,
last Friday
Il was standing in the Trocadero
hollywood cafe) Sunday night when
Healy entered Mr.. Broccoli said. Il
knew he had become a father few
days before so asked him to have
q drink. He seemed quite unsteady,
turned to an attendant and asked :.
Who is this fellow?'
Il laughed that off and extended nv
congratulations. He staggered toward
me and struck me on the nose. NV
nose began to bleed The next thing
knew, he had hit me in the mouth,
and followed this with blow to the
chin that almost fioored me.
Il showed him away, because I didn't
want to hurt him, and attendants
took Healy to an anteroom. Later,
the attendants came back and told me
Healy wanted to see me. I went in
and we shook hands. He got into a
taXlcab and that's the last I saw of
him"
Mr. Healy was found several hours
later near Hollywood hotel by
friends, who took him to doctor to
have wound over his left eve closed.
DR.. A, F. Wagner, autopsy surgeon,
SAID no injury to the skull or brain
was caused by blow He said there
were no blood clots on the brain and
there was no evidence of cerebral
hemorrhage.

1t must be understood that both Mr..
Rau and his partner we're stretching
their hands, as they knew they were
behind in the march In his anxiety
to arrive at small slam. North over
bid considerably. thus causing Mr..
Rau to go the limit and bid the un-
sound grand slam.
When the king of hearts was
opened, Mr.. Rau saw that he would
have to do some good guessing to make
his contract. He drew one round of
trumps, cashed his ace of clubs. and
after trumping heart, in dummy,
ruffed one of dummy's small clubs.
Returning to dummy with a trump,
declarer led the queen of clubs, and
when East played small, Mr.. Rau had
ticklish moment He had to
decide then and there whether to let
the queen ride or to trump in the hope
that the king was now blank in the
West hand. While ordinarily the
proper mathematical play would be 10
discard, Mr.. Rau had other factors to
consider. For one thing. West mad
made vulnerable overcall: for an
other, East held at least four cards
OF his partners suit and singleton
diamond. If, in addition, he held the
king Of clubs, he might well have
given heart raise. This last factor
finally decided Mr. Rau, and after
trumping the club, he emitted sign
OF relief when Vests king dropped.
When it was learned that Mr.. Ral's
play had brought victory to his team,
he was the hero Of the hour.

Speak gently to the aged one,

Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently to the erring;
