At Democratic

Wendell Willkie was charged
with having proven his disquali-
fication for the office of President by
tactics employed in the present cam
paign, in an address yesterday by
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair at a lunch
con of the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club
The affair, which opened the fall

posals for improving the conditions
and policies he criticized.

While she said she did not like
the idea of a third term, Mrs. Blair
asserted that it was only an idea
ana that when it came to a question
of the good of the Nation, it should
not be allowed to prevent the selec-
ton of the same President again, If
the country would be better off by
retaining him.
Declaring that while the Republi-
can candidate had given many as
surances Of upholding the ideals
ana objectives of the American sys-
tenn of government, Mrs. Blair con-
tended that he had never told how
he would carry out his program.
"High-sounding words have been
flung about, such as free enter
prise but never has he explained
what he means by them" she added.

FAY BANTER STAR
OF FILM AT ROYAL
Is Featured With Maureen
O'Hara, Adolphe Menjou,
Herbert Marshall

A hold-out from motion pictures
for twenty years, Fay Banter, New
York stage star, has carved an en-
viable niche for herself ON the screen
in the last two years, and today is
one of the most sought-after sup
porting players in Hollywood.
1t was as Ming Toy IN the Broad
way production Of EAST Is West"
that Miss Banter rose to the pin
nacle of stage fame at the close OF
the World war. She said goodbye
to the stage Cat least temporarily
in "Dodsworth."
Miss BANTER made her film debut
as the sister of Katharine Hepburn
in Equality Street" Currently she is
playing the mother in "a Bill OF
Divorcement," in which she is fea
tured with Maureen O'Hara, Adolphe
Menjou and Herbert Marshall al
the Royal Thursday.
Miss Banter was born in Los
Angeles and made her first profes
sional appearance in that city. She
did not leave the west until she
went on the road with a travelling
company at the age of fourteen.
There was a definite reason why
Miss BANTER turned thumbs down
on motion picture offers during the
two decades she was a Broadway
star. When "East Is West" was
bought for the screen, the producers
refused to put her into the role Of
Ming Toy although she had been, a
sensation in the part. Miss Banter
was so disappointed that she vowed
she never would play in a motion
picture.

surprise finale that is most timely
and spectacular.
The cast is headed by those eff
fervescent stars Of Screen, Stage,
and radio, "The Rhythm Ram
blers" better known as the origin
ators of screwball swing, and who
remind us of the Ritz Brothers set
to music and who offer, in addi-
ton to their musical ditties, a sure
fire routine of gags, nonsense and
scenes that do much to maintain
the high standard of comedy on
throughout the performance.
Then still more comedy is con-
tributed by the team of Rover and
Mahan, a diminutive pair Of fun
sters, with Rover handling the NC
assignment, in addition to the act
with his charming partner.
Another outstanding feature of
the presentation is offered by Wal
ly Blair, who, as the opening act
of the show, starts it off with a
versatility seldom seen in any the

and distinctly different acts in his
one appearance, trick bicycle and
unicycle riding, juggling and some
