lieve this or not. Several New
York city night club dancers have
refused to come to Hollywood
they claim film cuties have to
wear too much clothing and this
would cause them to lose their

Authority for the statement Is
Dave Gould, Metro-G oldwyn-M Mayer

A few of the girls told him very
frankly, Gould relates, they like
to have the opportunity to show
off their figures as they do in the
Manhattan hot spots.
Pacific Coast Showgirls have an
entirely different view, according
to Gould. He says he knows a
group who went East and quit in

Ethel Friedner, of United Artists,
came into town yesterday to WOO
printed and pictorial space for
Woman Chases Man"
The unusual feature Of this an
nouncement is that United Artists
has decided that women alone
shall exploit this picture. Nice
work if you can get it. And Miss
Friedner has the job.
More about Woman Chases
Man" later. For now, it is farce
comedy with Miriam Hopkins and
Joe McCrea costarred. Comes to
the Capitol Theater May 7.
ONCE AN ACTOR
Ken Franklin is another press
agent ahead. His picture is the
Janet Gaynor feature in color, "A
Star Is Born" Just wound up
with $105,000 for the first week
at Radio City Music Hall and is
held over.
The unusual note about Ken
Franklin is that he is a graduate
actor from the stage, full-fledged
and paid-up member Of Equity.
When character parts became
scarce, he took up tub humping.
He likes it.
"a Star Is Born" comes into
Loew's Palace Theater after the
Winchell-Bernie feature, Wake
Up and Live" has completed its
bookings. That ought to be May
IA, unless I'm bad guesSer.
A gala Hollywood premiere
complete with pressing throngS,
searchlights, radio announcers and
celebrities. all filmed in natural
color, is one of the highlights in
"a Star Is Born" costarring
Frederic March and Janet Gaynor.
Also to be seen for the first time
in color will be such famous places
as the Troca6ero, the Brown
Derby, Santa Anita race track,
the Hollywood Bowl, the Holly
wood Legion Stadium and Grau-
mans Chinese Theater.
Janet Gaynor plays the obscure
girl who rises to fame and star
dom in Hollywood and support
ing roles are ably handled by
Adolphe MenjoU, May Robson,
Andy Devine and Lionel Stander.
No secret now that Lenore u
RIGS personal appearance on F
Street was less than a sensation.
No secret either that Horace
Heidt's band gets most of the
credit for $4,000 plus week which
the Earle Theater rolled up the
past seven days.

Vernon Stevenson Died
Suddenly Last Sunday
Continued from page 1

His life was an exemplification of
rare Christian principles. He was
faithful to his church, and his loss to
that institution will be keenly felt and
the void extremely difficult to fill.
He gave of his love and labor, and the
influence he exerted was inestimable.
There are few men who found such
pleasure in administering to the COM
fort and happiness of others. He was
never found wanting in times when
called upon to aid and assist. He was
ever anxious to be of service and
many there are who could tell of his
helpful ministrations.
Possessed of such instincts, one
might imagine him to be weakling.
But not so. He was of strong stock
and knew we'll how to take care of
himself. He was strong in mind as in
body, and was prop not only to his
own family, but a refuge for many
friends and relatives when good coun-
sci and valuable advice were needed.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-09-03

He was a veritable good Samaritan.
The sympathy of hundreds goes out
to the bereaved family and other rela-
tives. And this is no hollow, empty,
assertion. Vernon had way of get
ting next to your heart, and there are
many heart aches resulting from his
passing away. But, if any consolation
can be CLEANED from the field of sor-
row caused by his death, it is that he
was saved season of long suffering.
He passed into the Beyond with few
pangs only, and his peaceful sleep is
indicative of his beautiful life. He is
at rest with his Maker.

IN MEMORY OF
VERNON STEVENSON
By J. w. WOOtten

Some men may leave and slip away,
And only a few may know
The place of death or time of day
They left this wrld below;
While other men, there are, who die,
Leaving thousands of friends to cry;
For by his going we understand
The world has lost a friend to man.
For now the sun seems over cast
With clouds both dark and low;
Our flags are flying at half mast
That all who pass may know:
We've lost captain" and friend
Whose virtues seemed without an end;
Here we stand uncovered head
Realizing that our friend is dead.
Dead! Did we say? Or did we mean
That he has slipped away?
To be with friends he has not seen
For many and many day:
Without pausing to say "Farewell!"-
With no mournful tale to tell
To cause a sob or cry or fuss,
He quietly slipped away from US.
We will miss him in our church
Well miss him in our town;
Well miss him at his place of work
Where daily he was found:
The young will miss him and the old
Will miss him like the miss of gold ;
Well miss his voice, We'll miss his
hand,
For we have lost friend to man.
But tits not fair to wish him back
Just to have a friend near by;
To travel again a beaten track,
Only again to see him die:
To Gods will we're reconciled
Knowing this was his own child:
Gone to receive his great reward
For services rendered to his Lord.
May we let his body rest,
And not disturb his soul;
For we know he did his best
And measured well up to his goal:
AS he did for others, We'll do for
him
Lay him away both neat and trim;
And realize as we lay him down
His equal never will be found.

stressed that IN the past year 80 900
volumes were worn out in use. Merely
to replace this number would cost
$3.50 and leave but half the total
estimate for new books, and make no
allowance for sharp increases in book
prices, the trustees explained.
Bindery Needs Presented.
An increase OF $4,000 in the item
for binding, to raise the total to $780,
900, was requested. Among reasons
cited were the rise in contract bind
ing costs, the need to rehabilitate
10000 volumes uncared for in the past
year, to meet annual needs for bind
ing at new branch s for which no pro-
vision has been made and to balance
loss Of time resulting from annual and
sick leave granted per diem employees
under an act OF Congress.
For maintenance, alterations and
repairs the trustees seek an increase
from 5000 to $64,7OO. The largest
item is $4,000 to complete the re-
placement Of the roof covering and
skylights at the central branch. The
large skylight that covers the book
stacks at the rear of the building is
beyond further satisfactory repair and
as result water leaks in the build
ing, seriously damaging books and
walls. the board said.
The increased item also would pro-
vide $500 to rebuild the r street re-
tanning wall at the GEORGETOWN

joint project. The proposed appro-
priation language leaves open the
question OF whether separate library
building shall be provided or whether
the library shall occupy a wing of the
school building. 1t should be noted
that the site is provided solely from q
school appropriation.
The proposed Anacostia branch Ii
brary is designed to serve the Ana
costa, Congress Heights, Randle High
lands and Good Hope sections. The
trustees explained the population
within mile radius of a proper loca-
ton is estimated at 20,344 1880
census) and is rapidly growing. There
are 10 public schools and parochial
schools in the territory to be served !;
also the personnel of St. Elizabeth's
Hospital and in the flying fields. The
section is cut off from other library
facilities by the river and by distance.
1t is about 2 miles from the nearest
library branch (SoutheasD to the CEN
ter OF Anacostia. Suitable sites are
getting so scarce that one should be
acquired at the earliest opportunity.
The estimated cost of the proposed
Anacostia branch, including equip
ment, is $l50,000.
Rented quarters for the Chevy
Chase subbranch library would be
enlarged under a proposed increase
from 1890 to $3.50 in rent allowed
Evening star., 1937-09-01

school service had increased from
81, 1857 to 126,S5l and 1t added: Dur
ing this l0-year period there has been
an increase in the number OF school
buildings served from 165 to 1s9, and
in the number of teachers served from
753 to 1920.
Three positions are sought for ex-
tension Of service to adults, to meet
ing growing demands of adult readers
for advisory service In the central
library, music division, and in the
advisory service at Mount Pleasant
and Takoma branches. The circula-
ton OF the Takoma branch has in
creased SO per cent since 1880 and
at Mount Pleasant IS per cent.
Asking for the hire of two new
janitors, for the Southeast and Takoma
branches, the trustees protested that
the men now on duty must work ap-
proximately SO hours q week, which,
it held, is economically and socially
unsound."
For the provision Of books and pc
riodicals the trustees seek 1899 fund
OF $4,000, as against $84,500 for this
year, when an item OF 100000 was
for the original stock Of books for the
Petworth branch, now being COM
pleted. Allowing for this non-recur-
ring item, therefore, the board seeks
an additional $l5,500 for new books
and replacements for recently estab-
lished branches for which no provision
has yet been made. The board

Ask Trailer Branch"
AS an expedient, to provide a meas
ure Of library service to sections now
lacking library branches. the trustees
ask $700 for provision of an automo-
bile trailer to be operated in 4 trav-
cling library service.
"A number of suburban sections,
such as Kenilworth. Congress Heights.
Benning, Deanwood. Brookland, Eek
ington, Wesley Heights, Cleveland
Park and Sixteenth Street Heights
are without library service and no
branch libraries are in immediate
prospect" the board said. With a
trailer fitted up as a travelling branch,
library service could be taken to some

tral library, the trustees said: The
library trustees have for 10 years been
urging more adequate central library.
They have reached the conclusion that
any enlargement of the present CEN
trail library would be unduly costly to
construct and unduly costly to admin
lister and that the only sound solution
is to build new main library ap-
proximately a mile from the present
central library (Which would then be-
come branch library. A site in the
most desirable location-and it would
be shortsighted to build in any but
the best location-is likely to cost
from s650OO0 to s85O,O0O."
