Olivia de Havilland to cancel
her acceptance for the Washing
ton Birthday celebration.
Miss de Havilland is playing
'Melanie" in scenes that are
being shot on the United Artists

Her presence here would have
compelled Director George
Cukor to suspend production
until her return.
We're as disappointed as you
are, Olivia.

Glamour Star
AtGoyety

The Gayety Theater is offer
ing this week a mirthful and
tuneful revue entitled Strike
Me Pink" and has as its stars
Georgia Sothern and Sam Ray
nor.
Miss Sothern is making her
initial appearance here after too
long an absence, but she still re-
mains the fair young damsel
who does about the fastest, furi-
GUS, and most unusual dance
routine in burlesque today.
Sam Raynor, local favorite,
is back again and this time with
a trio of lads who go under the
very apt title of the Three Luna
triX. Their routine is a hodge
podge of crazy antics from be-
ginning to end although there
are a few moments when they
also exhibit real talent in dane
ing and acrobatic featS. A clever
trio who show great future pos
SibilitieS.
Completing the distaff por-
ton of the bill is titian-haired
Gladys Mccormack, a swell
singer of songs: Ruth Brown, q
clever little ballet dancer, and
Marie Cord, who strongly re-
sembles the well-known Gypsy
Rose Lee both in looks and the
way she presents a musical num-
ber.
A "ton of fun" none other
than Hap Hyatt and his clever
straight man, Charlie Harris,
offer many moments of fun and
laughter. We sort Of missed that
strip-tease of yours, Hap. Why
not put it in again?-T. ]. R.

Pat and Joan
For the Met

Pat OBrien and Joan Blon-
dell come to the Metropolitan
Theater Friday, January 81, in
loft the Record" a fast-mov.
ing comedy drama with a news
paper background.
Bobby Jordan, erStwhile '.An-
gel" of the Dead End Kids"
heads the supporting cast in
this new Warner release, which
was directed by James Flood.
Alan Baxter, william Davidson
and Morgan Conway are others
in the cast.
Pat and Joan are seen as
rival reporters on the same
newspaper. When Joan exposes
a gambling racket, young Bobby
Jordan goes to reform school.
In order to get the boy paroled,
Joan marrieS Pat, thus provid-
ing a home for Bobby.
Pat objects when he dis
covers Joan'S plan and the fun
really begins when she obtains
Bobby a job as news photog-
rapher. The film, which has
many comedy moments, is said
to build to an exciting and dra-
matte climax.
Newsreel and selected short
subjects round out the program.

IN GOOD PICTURES
I think it is significant that
crowns are placed on the heads
Of fortunate actors and ac-
tresses, who generally figure in
the industry'S most Sumptuous
productions.
Mr.. Power, to be specific, ap-
peared during 1888 in such
spectacular and costly features
as "Alexander's Ragtime Band"
I'm Old Chicago" "Suez" and in
1889 in the forthcoming Jesse
James," all pictures bearing the
hallmark of merit.
Miss Macdonald seems to me
1egitimately entitled to be called
empress of screen song, with all
of her pictures invested with
the most talented of principals,
and lavish expenditure by Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer. Perhaps her
Knight of the Garter should
be Nelson Eddy.
Since such popular verdict
implies box office value, exhibit
ors will be inclined to ratify the
choice of moviegoers, and the
coronation ceremonies may pro-
ceed.
Next month, on. February
23, the new king and queen
must face the stiffer competi-
ton of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences in the
winning of annual awards.
Here the Academy choice is
dictated more by the quality Of
the acting, rather than pulchri-
tude, or platinum vocal chords.
Members Of the Screen Actors
Guild do the voting.
The new King and Queen will
probably find these fellow Guild

the farmer. THAT fellow must have

In less time than it takes to tell

so placed that he couldn't possibly

decided that he didn't care for a
chicken dinner that night. He would

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

If Billy Mink had known that he
had been discovered by the farmer
under whose woodpile he was living,
it is probable that he would have
moved on in search of new adven-
lures just as soon as the Black
Shadows had crept out across the
barnyard that night. But Billy didn't
know. He had been living there
so comfortably that he had grown
little careless, otherwise he never
would have ventured out In broad
daylight.
Evening star., 1939-01-26

That night he decided he would
have another chicken for dinner, so
he ran over to the henhouse, in
tending to slip through the hole in
the dark corner just as he had done
the night before. But the minute
Billy poked his nose through that
hole he knew that something was
wrong. There was q queer smell.
Billy tested 1t very carefully with
his nose. It was the man smell.

 Istambul, Turkey, Decem- Der 29. - (UP) - Renewed shocks were reported in the eastern Turkish earthquake zone today as official reports told of frightful destruction and suffering in devastated cities, towns and villages. Reports from an official in- quiry commission which reached Erzincan, in the center Of the devastated zone, iadi- cated that the death toll in the disaster might reach 100000 All casualty figures were accepted with reserve here, however, pending an official check, and 1t was hoped that figures might be revised sharply downward.
 The new quakes were reported at 0iresun, on the coast, Trebizorld, Turhai and Maiatya ~l80 snileg ii- land. Light shocks continued at Ergincatl.
 5000 Dead at Erzincan
 Eight thousand persons were re- ported dead at Erzincan and tho official inquiry commission report said casualties in the entire pruv- ince were tragic. It was reported there were 1900 dead among 1000 homes demolished at Zara. Three survivors were reported among tho $50 people of the village of ToinrlilE. Some villages were reported to have disappeared almost without trace.
 A civil hospital, military hoapi- tai and school ct Erzincail were obiiterated, reports said. and Do. dies of % cadets and 10 officers were found ii the ruins of the mile tary academy.
 twelve cities and towns and 90 villages were reported partly or ai- most wholly in ruins over Aii area of more than 2b,000 square miles from the Black Sea coast southward.
 Fires Break Out
 Fires burned still at many places, in some where crashing buildings broke gas pipes. Some people died in the flames, reports said. and fires seriously hampered rescue workers.
 Ali casualty figures were accept- cd with reserve pending c further official check. Reports so for re- ceived, with many ruined areas lilis heard from, left no doubt that there had been c major disaster.
 Aside from the death toll, tho tens of thousands of Injured were in many cases without medical aid, and hundreds of thousardS Of per- sons were homeless in Sub.zcro cold without food.
