Ginger Rogers and David Niven

As the acknowledgements gal
forced to rear a child whom she
accidentally finds, Ginger enacts
some of the most exciting expert
ences in her screen career. Despite
her denials of motherhood, her
employers and friends are con-
WINGED, through circumstantial evil
denee, that the baby is hers; and
in order to keep her job she is
obliged to assume responsibility
for the infant.
David Niven, as Miss Rogers

with her in spite of her embarrass-
ing position. The progress of their
romance, coupled with their hec-
tic battles concerning the proper
rearing of baby provides delight

when Niven's father is falsely led
to believe that his son is the tots

Christmas
Dinner
By Katherine Edelman

"A S SOON as Darrell Thorpe got a
chance to use the phone, he
dialed his home. He must tell Edna,
how sorry, how terribly sorry he
was for what had happened this
morning. All the way down on the
car he had reproached himself for
the hasty words he had said. He
couldn't understand how he had spo-
ken to Edna like that. and on Christ

He drummed impatiently on the
desk as he waited. Edna was al
ways punctual about answering the
phone and doorbell It was way
she had. going right through with
things.
Which really was the cause of
his flash of temper this morning.
In her quick, decisive way, she had
swept aside his idea of having old
Mrs. Darby for Christmas dinner.
The little lady, now down on her
luck, had befriended Darrell when
he had come to the city.
'I'm not going to have her!" Edna
had declared enphatically. We're

Kuhn Is Given
Prison Sentence

NEW YORK, Tuesday - Fritz
Kuhn was sentenced Tuesday to
two and a half to five years in
Sing Sing prison for stealing
funds from his pro-nazi German
American bund, and the prosecu-
ton was directed to take action
against two of his most faithful
followers for what the court de-
clared was their "patent perjury

This plain indication that the
bund came just after the stout
bundsfuehrer had stood stolidly
before the bench to hear the judg-
ment, his heavy jaws working
over wad of chewing gum, and
had muttered nothing" when he
was given an opportunity to have
his say.
Kuhn's conviction, on three
counts of larceny and two of for

years, but James C. Wallace re-

possible-go out and eat somewhere
and miss all the rush and bother"
Il think that's darn selfish way
of doing" Darrell shot back. Christ
mas is home day, with a turkey,
and a tree, and gifts, and above all,
someone to share them with u.s."
Then, without waiting to see the
effect of his words, Darrell rushed
from the house, banging the door.
Now, he dialed the number three
times, but there was no answer.
Panic seized him. Had Edna be-
lieved that he meant what he had
said? He had heard of young wives
who had packed up and left for
much less reason. What a brute he
had been to fare up as he did!
THE morning was unbearaby
l. long. Inwardly Tuning, he hung
up the receiver, to answer an i'm
perative buzzer from the inner Of
fee. 1t was about the tenth this
morning. If it hadn't been for
Wheatley, keeping him running
around in circles, he might have
been able to reach Edna long ago.
And if the old man hadn't been in
the same ugly mood yesterday, OAR
rel knew that he himself wouldn't
have been on edge this morning,
that he wouldn't have spoken to Ed
ma as he had done. He blamed
Wheatley as much as himself.
"You sent for me-" he said stiffly,
as he waited beside the desk. The
big man did not seem to hear him.
His eyes were glued on a closely
typed statement. Darrell spoke
again. Then Daniel Wheatley looked
up, and rubbed his hand across his
forehead as if trying to remember
something.
"Oh, yes, yes" he began; Mrs.
Thorpe called before you got to the
office this morning. forgot to tell
you. She left word that she was
going marketing with Mrs.-Mrs.
Darby, or some such name. Also,
she wanted me to be sure to tell
you to bring home Christmas tree
and all the trimmings" There was
a merry twinkle in Wheatley's usual
ly hard eyes. Looks as if you were
going to celebrate Christmas at your
house." he finished, with laugh.
1--WE certainly are Darrell
grinned back; we're going to have
a real old-fashioned celebration of
the day."
Think your wife would object if
you took cranky ole man to Christ
mas dinner?"
Darrell wondered if he were hear
ing things, then his quick wit jumped
to the surface. If you really mean
that, Mr.. Wheatley, ! can assure you
Of a hearty welcome. My wife thor
oughly believes in having people for
Christmas dinner. At least. am
sure she does now" The last sen.
