INTENTIONAL or not, one of the
best ways to link "Jezebel" with
the famous unmade Gone With the
Wind" is to say that it is not an
making the latter. So Warner Bros,
whose local branch screened "Jezebel'
yesterday, simply says that there is no
relation between the two pictures.
They point out that the picture which
stars Bette Davis, and which comes to
the Earle on Friday, is based upon an
Owen Davis stage play which was
written long before Margaret Mitchell
ever put Scarlet O'Hara on paper.
In other words. any resemblance be-
tween Miss Davis Julie and Scarlett
and perhaps Ito any other person,
living or dead" is pure coincidence.
The same thing applies to the part Of
the sweet, gentle creature played by
Margaret Lindsay. II you think she
is the incarnation Of Melanie Wilkes.

Gurie's itinerary.
The legend which Miss Gurie was
on her way to becoming was that of a
strong, silent beautiful Morse woman;
4 mistress of the simple life, who
wanted only to be alone. There were
months of stories of that kind. At
the end of the months and the stories,
Miss Gurie was quite a character in
the minds of Aim editors, statuesque
Scandinavian who diSdained the fu-
riously frothy side of Hollywood social
life. To do that, it seems, one has to
be foreign born-a Franciska Gaal, a
Garbo, Luise Rainer or the like, If
there is anything else like.
Then, one fine morning not so long
ago, the legend blew right up in the
worlds face. Miss Gurie turned out
to be only Norwegian by descent,
absolutely Brooklyn by birth, training
and continuous residence during her
girlhood. One might think that the
Goldwyn people would be bit dis
concerted by an experience like that.
But they are not that kind of proud
and sensitive legend creators When
one Of their pretty tales collapses, they
Join in the general laughter and turn
1t to their advantage. That is what
they did in the case of. Miss Gurie.
If they could not make her a strong.
silent Scandinavian, they could make
her "the madonna of Flatbush." That
Is what she Is now, although the Gold
wyn ONCE refers to her in more digni-
fed terms as the "Norwegian- Brooklyn
girl"
Miss Gurie is not very well known TO
picture audiences in spite OF the fact
that she has had her name and picture
IN the papers quite frequently since
last summer. Her first picture, "The
Adventures of Marco Polo" now is
ready for release and she is being taken
around to meet the movie editors Of
the East in connection with the film
advance of the pictures showing. Mr.
Washer promises that she is just as
charming as the Norwegian Brooklyn
girl as she was while being built up

Phantom Ar-RGider Scour ges LoyaIist Coast

MADRID. Aug. LA phantom air raider has done more damage to the Republican cause in Spain since the war started July Is, 1856, than any two divisions of Insurgent enemy troops at the front. His de- struction would be hailed through out Loyalist territory as a major victory.
 This air-raider, who usually oper- ates on moonlight nights. has de- stroyed countless gasoline and oil depots and ships, his raids being carried out in the most spectacular fashion.
 Very little is known of the raider or raiding plane, which at times carries a two-man crew. Some have reported the plane to be Italian; others, German. It is believed the intrepid fliers change their equipment frequently, but never their methods.
 String of Successes
 Because of censorship the world has heard of this marauder only in recent weeks when the plane began to attack and sink British

 Now Showing

That old master snowman Bing Crosby breaks an iron bound rule in Double or Nothing" his latest comedy with music at the Coliseum, which he set when he first entered pictures and promised himself never to break He appears opposite the same leading lady for a second time!
 When Bing became a movie top notcher in 1883, after his appear ance in College Humor," he decid- ed that one way to keep himself fresh with his public was to ap- pear with different leading lady in every picture. There were en- tirely too many love teams" "ro- mantle teams, screen sweethearts" and cinema lovers," Bing thought, and he decided to be different.
 Double or Nothing" which is a light-hearted story about an accen- tric millionaire who leaves a freak will and starts things swinging, boasts of an elaborate cast of com- icS which includes Andy Devine, William Frawley the Calgary Brothers and the famed eccentric dancing team of Ames and Arno. It also boasts of novelty orchestra known as the Swing Band" an aggregation of beautiful girls and young men who use no instruments but initiate them in a manner which is startling. There is also an inn pressive list of new music, notably three songs by Johnston and Burke, the team which gave the world Pennies From Heaven"
 There followed a long parade of beautiful women as Bing climbed higher and higher to stardom with every picture. And now Bing de- cided upon repeat performance The honor falls to lovely Mary Car lisle who appeared opposite Bing for the first time in the very pie ture which made star out of him College Humor which may have something to do with it.
