Performances this evening con- dude the engagement of Breakfast For Two" with Barbara Stanwyck, Herbert Marshall and Eric Blore, also Hold Elm Navy" with Lew Ayres, John Howard and Mary Carlisle.
 Tomorrows grand new show will be headlined by that sensational new screen triumph stage Door" with Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Adolphe Menjou CO., starred at the head of Q brilliant cast.
 The picture Is based on the fa- nous stage play which ran for near ly half a year in New York, and is said to offer the stars thelr finest screen opportunities to date. Most of its vividly absorbing action takes place in @ theatrical boarding house where scores of eager and ambitious girls live and hope and sometimes perish while they strive for fame behind the footlights.
 From every walk of life they come: rich and poor, sympathetic and selfish, but all motivated by one common dream of stage success, Their heart-throbs and heartbreaks are woven into the shimmerin9 thematic pattern of the story. Two of the girls in particular stand out from the others-Katharine Hep- burn, wealthy debutante who seeks a stage career against her family's wishes, and Ginger Rog- CTS, a happy -go-lucky, wisecracking youhgster with no background and no money, but confident that she css1 succeed on her own.
 Around these two, and the dozens of others at the Club" Is built the drama of the story. Miss Hepburns assurance in the power of money to gain her ends, the scheme ot her family to terminate her that rical ambitions, Miss Rogers care- free opportunism, Adolphe Menjou's suave performance as New York's most important producer, and his pursuit of Miss Rogers; Gail Pat rick's secret love affair; Andrea Leeds tragic despair when Miss Hepburn gets the role she yearned for: Lucille Balls attempts at gold" digging, and the dreams and disil- lvlsionments of them all, are woven together in a gripping and memor- able film that climbs to tense dra- matic heights.
 Constance Collier, Ralph Forbes Franklin Pangborn. Samuel B Kinds, Ann Miller, Frances Clifford Pierre Watkin and many other notables of the screen are in the supporting cast of this unusual off, ering.

ceived to study law at Kirksville
Normal school.
Then came the incident which
changed his whole life. Jack Perish
ing saw an advertisement announc-
ing competitive examinations for
West Point. He had only two weeks
to prepare, but he won the appoint
ment. At West Point he won prom
inence as president of his class and
as first captain of the corps Of ca
diets. Possessing the characteristics
of perfect soldier, his assignments
after graduation into the army
were marked with success. While
a military instructor at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, he resumed his
law studies and took his degree.
Since the army conducts its own
military courts, this gave Pershing
an opportunity to combine his busi-
ness love with his soldierly success.
When the World war broke out, he
was made general of the U. S. army.

college, and so John had no oppor-
tunity to receive training for his
voice. 1t did not occur to him at
that time that singing would be his
profession. However, he did decide
against becoming a priest, which
must have been a hard blow for his
father. But the man did not lack
understanding and he encouraged
the boy in his desire to become
civil service clerk. When John
failed in the entrance examinations
at the school where he would re-
ceive his training, and when given
a second chance forgot the appoint
ment, his father must have truly
despaired.
Then it began to dawn on John
Mccormack that singing was his
true vocation. He had loved to sing
all his life. He went to Dublin and
got job in the Marlborough Street
cathedral choir at $125 year. He
began to gain more and more rec
ognition, sang for recordings Of the
Edison and Gramaphone compa-
nies, and eventually became star
of opera. Today he is known the
world over for his golden tenor.

Hint of a Third Party?

- Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, added his condemnation of
the Seventy-ffth congress to that Of
William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, for
not passing the wage-hour bill. Lew
is threatened to lead his followers
out of the Democratic party unless
it delivered" on campaign prom
ises. Leaders, he said, must either
restore sufficient party discipline to
permit government to function un-
der their guidance or confess that
their party is not the vehicle by
which the people of the country may
progress to solution of their press
ing social problems.
Lewis had just received another
disappointment when the New York
shipyard strike of c. I. o. affiliate
collapsed after nine weeks. In
surgents took command of approx
imately 1000 members Of the In
dustrial Union of Marine and Ship

senators who would not return to

three attacked when he said that

Question Blacks Eligibility

THE senate confirmed the Presi-
L dents nomination of Sen. Hugo
L. Black of Alabama to the Supreme
court, 63 to 16, but only after a
bitter fight. following which the mi
nority protested that the confirma-
ton had been railroaded through.
Six Democrats and ten Republi-
cans voted against Black. The DEM
ocratic insurgents, led by Edward
r. Burke Neb.) and Royal S. Cope
land IN. W based their objections
principally upon charges that he
was associated with the Ku Klux
Klan, and therefore untitled to sit
with the high tribunal for reasons
Of racial and religious prejudice.
The Republicans. notably William
E. Borah Udaho). argued that he
could not legally become member
of the court.
That his eligibility might be tested
before the court itself was possi-
bility when Attorney Albert Levitt,
former special assistant to Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings, filed
a plea for leave to pray an order
for Black to show affirmatively why
he should be permitted to serve as
an associate justice. He raised the
same legal questions as the Repub-
hcan minority had:
/. That Black could not become a
justice because during his term as
a senator the Summers retirement
act was passed, permitting justices
to retire at full pay. The Constitu-
tion provides that no member of
congress shall be appointed TO an
office which was created or the
emolument of which was increased
during his membership in congress.
2. That no vacancy existed on the
Supreme court anyway, since JUS
tice Willis Van Devanter had only
retired, not resigned, and may still
be called for judicial service by the
chief justice.
1t was expected that the Black
appointment would become political
fodder in the next campaign.

or two unexpected happenings in
our own lives which changed their
whole course.
John J. Pershing, who rose to be

vantage of lucky opportunity. He
