MISS DIETRICH,
 JAMES yTEWARr
 ARE C0-5TARRED
Capitol Theatre Offering "Oesfry Rides Again
 Excellent Cast

A new Marlene Dietrich, vastly improved and bearing little resem- blance to her previous appearances except in glamorous beauty, re- turned to the screen yesterday when Universal's "DeStry Rides Again" opened at the Capitol Theatre.
 Miss Dietrich's almost startling transformation features a picture notable in many other respects, chief among these bemg the pres ence of James Stewart, one of the screens foremost male stars, who plays the title role opposite Mar lene.
 Together they head what is probably the greatest supporting cast ever assembled for western epic type of picture Such prom inent favorites as Mischa Auer, Charles Winninger, Brian Don levy, Irene Hervey. Una Merkel, Warren Hymer, Allen Jenkins, Samuel S. Hinds, Billy Gilbert and many others are included in the list of players.
 As the star entertainer in the Last Chance Saloon, Miss Dietrich has a role that marks a drastic change from her recent perform ances, but is in many respects similar to the memorable charac- ter she portrayed in "The Blue Angel" the picture that made her a star.
 Stewards work in MT. Smith Goes to Washington" is equalled if not surpassed by his performance in ''Destry Rides Again"
 Mischa Auer, as a Russian cow boy, Charles Winninger as the town drunk, Brian Donlevy as the domineering gambler, Una Mer- kel as the henpecking wife of Auer, and Irene Hervey as the winsome girl, are worthy of spe- cial mention. The picture itself is assuredly one of the most remark able that has come from Holly wood this season.

tory reads like the life story of a red-headed step-child
 Danning broke in with Bridge port of the Eastern League in 1881, went so we'll at the plate that the Giants called him to New York midway of the next sea- son. On the eve of departure for his big league debut, though, Harry ran smack into a team mates line drive down the third base line His jaw was broken. Tough Going
 Trying to eat with broken jaw was tough but when, two weeks Mater, Harry contracted a consular sinfection he had real problem. Just to add to his misery, severe cold set in a week later, turned to pneumonia. That finished his big league chances for the year. The Giants called the big awk- ward youngster in from Buffalo in 1933 but he caught only three games after his arrival in July. In 1884 he played, second fiddle to Mancuso, a more experienced pitch CT, but hit .330 in pinch assign ments and during the few games he caught. Despite that good mark the only chance he got in 1885 was during 12-game period when Mancuso was out with an injured arm. A foul-tip broke his hand in 1856 and he got into only g games When broken finger stopped Man cuso in '37 Hank stepped into the breach, caught 93 games, batted near .300-but had to step out when his hand was rebroken just when he was going hottest. He caught 57 of the first GO games in 1888 when he was laid low for three weeks by illness But he worked 12o games that year, bat ted .306.
 ~ He handled the catching job in 135 of the Giants 152 contests last year and batted 313. But the old bad luck was there. A leg infec- tion kept him benched for three weeks and the Giants lost nine in a row.
 ?. Rating Champ? Maybe
 Danning figures he'll do better than the "A runs he batted in last year. He's batting farther back in the order than the second or third place slots he occupied in 1889, has more chance to send runs across. He's already crowding 60 in the rbi column.
 Harry the Horse Che doesn't know where the name started) thinks it's improbable he'll win the batting championship. A catcher works too hard. Cool weather has helped him to date. When it gets hot he says, he may tire more easily, have less heft in his swing.
 But he's aiming for the title. After all:
 Its mostly luck, and if my luck holds-wlio knows?" I

 That, rom harry the Horse him. self, is why he led major league batters into the July stretch with a .366 average.

FAYE FILES
SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Actress Charges Cruelty,
Does Not Make Ali
mony Request

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-R-
Alice Faye, blonde film actress,
filed suit for divorce today against
Tony Martin, radio crooner. She
charged cruelty.
Her two-page complaint alleged
that for IS months. Martin Gin
flicted grevious mental suffering"
upon her, causing her ito become
physically and mentally ILL.," Such
treatment, it added, was without
cause or p%rovocation" on her part.
It included no, request for a1t1
mony and made no mention Of
any property settlement.
Filing of the blonde actress suit
bore out her declaration that lit
was inevitable" she and Martin
should part, and gave weight to
Hollywood's axiom about long dis
lance marriages seldom being sue
cessful.
Her brief statement Of last mid
night is so similar to those of
Dorothy Lamour and Bette Davis
and Binnie Barnes and Madeleine
Carroll, some of recent memory,
that they might have come from
the same stencil.
Alice said, 'Tony's a grand per-
son, but we simply didn't have
a MARRIAGE
Tony, who didn't catch on in
the movies the way Alice did, has
been away for months at a time
for stage and radio engagements.
He has been a travelling troubadour
almost continuously since he and
the blondest of the movie charm
ers were married in September,
1887.
W. did our best to make q
go of it," added Tony in Miami.
There doesn't appear to be any
thing else but a divorce"
And so it always goes-"inevit-
ably"-with Hollywood wives who
are separated from husbands by
miles and oceans.
Lamour made a similar state
ment when she officially broke up
with Herbie Kay, musically busy
