SLAVE SHIP" NOW PLAYING
 AT COLISEUM
Warner Baxter, Wallace Beery Are Starred
 Tn Drama

A spectacular drama that storms in epic sweep over half the world, Slave Ship" which opened yester- day at the Coliseum Theatre, stands head and shoulders above the gen. eral level of film fare to take its rightful rank as a mighty sea saga.
 The new Twentieth Century-F Fox film, which co-stars Warner Baxter and Wallace Beery, pictures the ad- ventures of the last slayer as, with mutiny reckoning the decks, it sails on it's last desperate voyage.
 A honeymoon ship of horror, the slave ship also carried aboard it's fury tracked hulk Elizabeth Allan, who boards the vessel for a honey moon and finds, too late, that she is off on a trip that brings her constantly face to face with danger and death. Mickey Rooney is also aboard as a spunky cabin boy who boasts stoutly that he is a man in a mans World-and gets a chance to prove it.
 To Warner Baxter falls one Of the most colorful roles of his ca reer, as romantic scourge of two oceans, defying the navies of all

Mary Ko|asa Is Guest of Honor
 At Bridge Party

At an evening bridge and shower Saturday, Mrs. John Mccormick was hostess in honor of Miss Mary Kolasa, bride-elect of MT. Daniel Ross, assembling a dozen guests at the Mccormick residence on West Twelfth Street.
 Spring flowers provided decora- tion, and the playing of the We'd ding March over the radio added Q surprise to the occasion. Miss Kolasa was presented Pyrex set during the evening, and also was given a bridal bouquet.
 Assisting the hostess in serving were Mrs. Anna Webster and Mrs J. c. Spickett. Mrs, T. J. Pyle won the first prize in bridge; Mrs. Peter Bond, second, and Mrs. William Norton, the cut prize. A guest prize was given to Miss Kolasa.
 Present for the affair were Mrs Minnie Hurley, Mrs. Harold Brown Mrs. William Byington. Mrs. Iva Tilden, Mrs. William Norton, Mrs Anna Webster, Mrs. J. c. Spickett Mrs. T. J. Pyle, Mrs. Peter Bond Miss Dalma Hanson, Miss Elma Ol- son, Miss Mabel Monson, and Miss Marjorie Tillotsen.

 Of course, no list of this kind would be complete without mention of John Barrymore whose career dates back to the days of matinee idols. Today this member of the Drew Barrymore clan is 56, yet carried off with dash many a part which. one 30 years younger might we'll envy Incidentally his brother, Lionek was 60 this month.
 Others among the male head linefss thought less identified with romantic holes, include Wallace Beery, 50; Frank Morgan, AS; Ed ward G. Robinson, 45 and Paul Munis A.
 While it is hardly chivalrous to discuss the ages of the leading ladies of the screen, it might be surprising to many to know how many of the glamorous stars will never see 40 again.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April 25.-- Those who are under the impress sion that a career ends at 40 for the Don Juans and male romantic leads of the screen might do well to cast an eye at the birth certificates of some of the great lovers in Hol- lywood today.
 When the suggestion recently came from Edward Arnold that he might form an over Forty club, a little investigation into the ages of various leading men produces surprising results. While there are a number of younger men who are tops-such actors as Robert Fay Tor, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and James Stewart-many of the best romantic roles are carried by veterans of 40 or more,
 Powell 46 in July
 William Powell is one of the best examples in this class. Although he will be 46 in July, Powell is one of the highest paid headliners in Hollywood and one of those most in demand for romantic roles. His recent successes in romantic com- edy parts have further increased his prestige and left the studies clamoring for him to team up with such stars as Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard, Irene Dunne and others 10 years or more younger.
 Another no longer in the pink cf youth but among the select few always sought for romantic leads is Herbert Marshall. This suave and talented Englishman will be AS in May yet more than holds his own with the crop of newcomers Marshall is seldom cast in the strenuous masculine role sometimes assigned Gable or Taylor, but he has one of the finest speaking voices in the film colony and a worldliness and elf-possession that eminently qualify him for smart comedy and society romance.
 Ronald Colman is another of this group whose 40-odd years have been no handicap in keeping his enviable niche in the cinema heav- ems. Colman is 47 yet only recently scored one of his greatest triumphs in the romantic adventure lead of Lost Horizons"

and inherited wealth to tide them over lean times. A national maga- zine once estimated Jimmy to be worth about a half million" Our information, from good source, puts it far less, something like $60,- 900 in quick assets and a going business worth perhaps $l50,000 as long as he works at 1t. It wouldn't pan out nearly so much in the hands of an executor. Each draws $10,000 Q year pay here.
 They live in the same section of Washington, meet each other as oc- casion demands, but are not chum- my. Their wives sailed the same social harbors in Boston and are closer here than their husbands.
 Both are looked upon as future Presidential possibilities, but neither will discuss a prospect so distant as that. Jimmy undoubtedly will take a fling at some Massachusetts eXecu- tive office in the future if he sees in it a worldwide objective. Our in- formation is that he will pass over 1888, although the bait of the Lieut. enant Governorship is dangled be- fore him.
 Lodge, barring the unforeseen, will seek reelection in 1942 but refuses to play his cards farther ahead than that. Anyway, in that time mucl can happen.

 Ronald Colman has succeeded in imparting to his dual role in David O. SelNick's The Prisoner ot zenda," slowing now at the Capi- tol Theatre. the most distinct sep aration of two personalities ever por- trayed on the screen by a single star. His method was unique in the annals of filmdom.
 Colman, who with Madeleine Car roll and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., heads the "Zenda" cast, used mir TOTS to achieve the striking result. He plays the part of both King Ru rolf, a reigning monarch, and Ru- dolf Rassendyl, an English gentle man, two persons whose personali- ties and traits are different, though their looks are the same.

 Opposite him is Wallace Beery, in a role that dwarfs all of the famed actors previous sea roles. As the villainous mate of the last slayer, Beery makes the big-fisted. bull-headed seaman a figure of continuous interest, genial and treacherous to his dying breath.
