ROLLER SKATE EMCEE
Paul Gerrits, witty vaudeville
star, will come to Washington
Saturday to act as master OF
ceremonies for the midnight
show at the Earle Theater, ceie'
brating the Presidents Birth
day.
Gerrits was appearing at the
Earle last year on January 20,
and greeted the visiting stars
and introduced them to the
Earle audience. When plans
were made for the midnight
show this year, an invitation
was sent to him to make a Spe-
cial trip to Washington to play
similar part in the per-
formance. His acceptance was
received yesterday.
AS master of ceremonies,
Gerrits will present not only the

nequin" hoped to success
through a most unusual chan.
mel. It is unusual, for not many
men ever achieve fame coming
from such an occupation,
though many a young lady has
fulfilled her dreams of the
movies through this profession.
1t was in Chicago that Alan
became interested in modelling.
He worked long hours, posing
for many nationally known ad-
vertiSerS. Business was good,
too, for Alan was a hansome
six foot two inch specimen Of
manhood. Yet he never let
such a thing turn his head.
Finally, the wanderlust be-
gan to grow within him and he
was off to New York. The first
thing he did was to look up
John Robert Powers, a model
ing agent of prominence, who
took him in and built up his
reputation among the many
commercial photographers that
do a thriving business in
Gotham.
He became New York's AL
male model, and photographers
fought for his services. His sal
ary mounted to an average of
$3.50 a week, which was high for
men models.
Then a talent scout became
interested in him and the out
come was that he landed in
Hollywood with a contract. He
played minor parts until he
finally hit with a supporting
part in Music in the Air" with
Gene Raymond and Anne
Sothern.
But as the old story goes in
Hollywood, the company failed
to take up, his contract. Yet
he was not let down in spirit,
for after a few weeks Metro.
Goldwyn.Mayer signed him to
nice contract and began to
work on his latent talents.
So now Alan Curtis is one of
Hollywood's own and on his
way to stardom.
The wheel of fate is possessed
OF unending powers and around
and around it goes, but where
1t will stop is up to you.

CRIMES MAY
 BE MANAGER
 OF CARDINALS

A recent Associated Press Dis patch, dated St Louis, says Presi- dent Sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cardinals always has reserved for himself the prerogative of hiring and firing managers, but he may break tradition and turn over to General Manager Branch Hickey the authority to name successor to Frankie Frisch.
 Pressure brought to bear by Rick ey, who frequently had indicated he did not sympathize with the Frisch management, was accepted as one influence causing Breadon to decide to change managers. F'risch was released only recently While Breadon and Hickey reit- erated that they had not made up their minds on new manager, the names of many candidates were in the air.
 May Be Grimes It was reported Burleigh Grimes, new leader of the Brooklyn Dodgers had the inside track, and the name of Bill Killefer, coach of the Cards under Rogers Hornsby and later manager of the Browns, also was mentioned
 Baseball circles buzzed with re- ports Charley Grimm, recently let out as manager of the Chicago Cubs, was in town for a conference with Breadon and Hickey.
 Other names being shuffled in- cluded Jimmy Wilson, manager of the Phillies, Burt Shotton, Colum- bus manager, and Ray Blades, an- other veteran member of the Cardi- nal organization.

7 GAMBLERS
 CHEAT DEATH

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Two men who imperil their lives every day on the precipices of Chicago, the straight-up- -and-down walls of city skyscrapers, almost lost the game recently. Both were saved by fire men.
 One of the rescued was Arthur Reid, thirty one, who removes burned bulbs from electric signs and puts in new ones. The other was Stanley w. Shin- kus, forty-two. He washes windows
 Reid was working from rope ladder on the south wall of the Chi cago Theater when one rope of the ladder broke. Holding the single rope with one hand and to ledge with the other, he called for help. While thousands watched firemen of the First Battalion, under Chief John Furlong, first spread life net and then placed a thirty-five-fooi ladder against the wall, It was toe short
 So three husky firemen lifted the ladder over their heads and kept it steady, while Reid, cautiously transferring his hold from the rope to the ladder, climbed down tt safety.
 The other rescue was at the Mutual Insurance Building, where Shinkus was washing windows or the sixth floor when one of tht hooks for his safety belt gave way leaving him suspended by his bel from the other hook.

Three Kilometers, DANGER"
 Along this front, it might Dc added, troops planted and culti- vated flower gardens between the lines during the summer of 1937
 That's all changed now, how ever, for when General France looking for a weak spot this spring hit this sector, his troops weren't stopped until they were swim ming in the Mediterranean and Loyalist Spain had again been di- vided in half.
 No-Mans-Land may be 10 miles or more across, the lines consist ing only of outposts, an artillery piece, or a machine gun crew com manding a valley. On one occasion the Loyalist cavalry turned cow boy temporarily and rounded ur 5000 head of cattle grazing il No-Man's-Land" on the southern front. Not a shot was fired at them
 Another time in Estramadura two non commissioned officers from Insurgent Spain deserted te the Loyalists in high-powered American motor car, riding up in style to surrender and to be greet ed joyously because they had the wit to bring along thousands of cigarettes to the tobaccoless Loy- alist outpost.

FISHING FOR FOOD

Troops often hunt and fish be- tween the lines, not for sport, but for fresh food which is always vel come. Cases of peasants tilling their soil in comparative peace between the so-called lines have been re- ported at various times.
 The reason is obvious. Spain is divided into two enemy camps b more than 1000 miles of lines !. hree times the front line territory in France and Belgium during the World War which was manned by probably 10 times as many men Even in France there were quiet sectors with weeks of inactivity.
 In Spain only key highways and positions are heavily entrenched and fortified. Even manning these Qualifications requires so many men that neither side has large numbers of offensive troops. That is one factor prolonging the war Neither side has a force free to 5trike with overpowering strength at vital spot.
 Fraternizing across the lines de- bite every effort to stop it is re- ported on a limited scale.
 Propaganda by loudspeaker is used to convince the other troops hey are fighting for the wrong cause and should desert. These methods reap some rewards. There is constant desertion back and forth on a small scale, such deserters often bringing important military information. The enemy invariably starts minor action when the loud- packers go into play, attempting to drown out the voice.
 Often this spreads the alarm to
