M0ULTRIE LADS
TO LOSE VESSEL
Favorite Transport, Sprlg
Carol, To Be Sent 10
Boston Harbor
BY JACK STILLMAN

Fort Moultrie, S. c. Nov. L.
The Sprig Carol, Army transpor
which has for so many years a
led passengers from Fort Moul
trie to Charleston, has been order
ed to Boston for use in the harbol
there, it was learned today. Inc
transfer date has not been SCI.
For the past IL years the Sprle
Carol has been in service in anc
around the harbor at Fort Moultrle
and Charleston. With the coming
of the 252nd Coast Artillery the
transport has been slightly crowd
ed on holidays and when soldiers
are given a day off duty.
But this has nothing to do with
the transfer of the boat" Captain
Frank st. George says.
ITS because she gets the most
mileage out Of her coal. They just
want a good boat in Boston har-
bor."
The Sprig Carol is a coal burner,
10 feet long, 81 feet wide and has
a draft of 10 feet.
Until Oct. 20 the Sprig Carol had
carried STA, 5O7 pounds of freight,
and ITS passengers between Fort
Moultrie and Charleston. Last. Sa'
turday night there were 318 pas
sengers. These figures are smaller
than any Of the past six months.
According to government regula-
tons the transport is loaded at
$50 men, but Captain st. George
can recall the time when he car
ried $40.
When the Sprig Carol was order
ed to Boston the government offer
ed for use at Moultrie a 190-feet
transport which was large enough
to carry 40 automobiles on one
trip. This was turned down by
Moultrie authorities because it was
too large to be handled in the
harbor here.
Captain St. George, who has
been on the boat Cor the past four
years, halls from Southport, N. c.
His first contract with the govern
ment was carrying mail from Fort
Caswel to Southport during the
World war. He has worked in
many eastern ports since, includ-
ing Wilmington. 3

COURT REPORTER
Decision in the Strange Case of
THE BODY IN THE SNOW"
Continued From Page Eight

ENTITLED TO RE-
COVERT In a sweeping decision,
the court decided to award the
mother of Floyd Wilson the sum of
five thousand dollars, a sort of
balm from the county. 1t was one
of the most striking cases of circum-
stantial evidence on record and was
gwen much publicity throughout
the country.
As the old juror, Simon Bunk,
said, it was a case of happiness,
lies, trlckery and murder. Happi-
ness there was at the start, when
Jim Larabee and his friend, Floyd
Wilson, lived peacefully at the
little cabin, tending the flocks,
dong their chores and then reading
their Bibles and going to bed.
But one day, Larabee heard of
Alaska and goldl He made up his
mind, said nothing and disap-
peared. A body was found the next
spring in the snow and then the
interruptions prosecuting attorney
plotted his evil scheme that sent
an innocent man to the gallows.
After the final trial was over,
Mrs. Wilson and Jim Larabee had
supper together at Jim's cabin. Jim
was bitter as he spoke of revenge,
but the good mother of his dead
friend said, NO, Jiml Love your
enemies That is Gods way" And
jim cried for the first time in his
life.
This is taken from a true case.

POlI'S

Stirring with romance, laughter, memories and melodies of the unbe- lievable street that makes the na- tion sing, "Tin Pan Alley" 2Oth Century-FoX film which stars Alice Faye and Betty Grable, opened this afternoon at the Loew Poli theater for an engagement of six days. To- days audience was held spellbound by it's spectacular music and action.
 Jack Oakie and John Payne head a great featured cast of top-notch entertainment-makers in "Tin Pan Alley" which includes Allen Jenkins, Esther Ralston, the Nicholas broth CTS, dusky dancing stars, and Ben (Shadrach) Carter.
 With some of Americas greatest popular song writers of yesterday and today contributing their best and biggest hits, "Tin Pan Alley" surpasses by far any musical since "Alexander's Ragtime Band" swept the nation. It tells how song hits are made in human terms of composers and song pluggers.
 Briefly, Tin Pan Alley" narrates the experiences of two shoeString song publishers, Jack Oakie and John Payne, whose songs achieve prominence after Alice Faye sings them. Alice and John fall mad1y in love but a split comes when he pays more attention to his songs than to lovely Alice.
 They are rejoined in London, how ever, when war is declared. Paced at rapid tempo and set in a back ground of those stirring years of strife, Tin Pan Alley" smashes into a thrill packed finale which ch- maxes its sweeping drama.
 Marked by many outstanding highlightS the spectacle of Alice Faye and Betty Grable doing a tor rid hula hula dance is really sight to behold. Glamorous and torchy these two beauties top anything they've ever done on the screen. With the whole cast turning in grand performances ''Tin Pan Alley is not-to-be missed picture. On the same program is another smash hit, Jennie" touching love drama featuring Virginia Gilmore and William Henry.
 Play Movie Party at Loew's Poli tonight-$100 in cash awards will be given away to winning members of the audience.
 Those mad, merry Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico and Harpo are back again-this time in their greatest and funniest comedy Go West" It opens four-day engagement here next Saturday.

killing contests which can be con- ducted with deck of cards, I also do not know why so many people are playing gin rummy. But do know they're playing it, and with the same single minded enthusiasm which Hollywood re- serves for everything it adopts. Thus a person who hasn't read For Whom the Bell Tolls" is considered illiterate. Anyone who can't rhumba simply cannot dance. And he who doesn't play gin rummy is dullard and social leper.
 It is almost always played two- handed and therefore scarcely would qualify as a group pastime if it were not so admirably adapted to kibitzing If you attend what Holly wood calls an intimate little party" Of maybe 40 guests, it will probably lapse into a gin rummy tournament with two tables, four players and 36 rooters in the bleacherS.
 Just as backgammon used to be the favorite, now gin rummy is play ed on sound stages during long waits, in the offices for writers who don't feel like writing, and trains and planes ferrying between here and Broadway. There are stories of large sums won and lost, and of games that have gone on for three or four days and nights.
 I thought I'd tell you about gin rummy because it seems interest," ing that such a game could have become a major sport among film celebrities. But the details of play are going to give you an awful let down:
 TEN CARDS
 TO A PLAYER
 If the games just starting, play CTS cut for high card and the deal. Otherwise the winner of the pre- vious hand, or "knockdown." deals. He deals hands of 10 cards each, and one at time. The rest of the deck, with top card turned over beside it, is placed in the middle as in any kind of rummy.
 Dealers opponent doesn't have to make the first play. If he doesn't want the exposed card or chooses to make. a draw, he may pass the turn.
 AS in any kind of rummy, the idea is to fill your hands with threes

Escape to Glory" made its local debut at the Warner Bros. State theater yesterday and was greeted with enthusiasm by capacity attend ance at all performances.
 Co-starring Pat O'Brien and Con- stance Bennett, with a supporting cast headed by John Halliday, Mel vile Cooper and Alan Baxter it is one of the thrill hits of the year and certainly picture not to be missed by anyone.
 OBrien as the soldier of fortune, exceeds in worth even his brilliant performance as "Knute Rockne-All American" As his tantalizing fem- mine counterpart, Miss Bennett is equally superb. Lesser players are Splendidly cast, in keeping with the excellence of the entire production, with John Halliday, as a "phoney" district attorney" fleeing gangland's vengeance; Melville Cooper, as a born coward living 8 life of con- stant fear, and Alan Baxter, as a cold -blooded gunman who gives his life that others may live, topping the supporting players.
 Other fine performances are turn ed in by Frank Sully, Edgar Buch- ana, Marjorie Gateson, Francis Pierlot and Erwin Kaiser.
 "FTnnier than ever," is familiar phrase where Joe E. Brown is con- cerned. But the fact remains, his newest starring comedy 50 You Won't Talk?", the second big hit of the program, is really funnier than ever
 From the opening to the final fade-out the picture kept yesterdays audiences in what practically amounted to continuous, and hiliar- iouS laughter. Frances Robinson, Vivienne Osborne, Tom Dugan and Bernard Nedell complete the feature cast.
 Coming to the State on Sunday is another mammoth double feature program which will be headlined by Bank Dick" starring that famous comedian w. c. Fields. On the same big show Give Us Wings" with the Dead End" kids.

or more of a kind, or with com binations of three Or more cards in suit-and-sequence. Aces are always low and may not be used to top queen-king combinations.
 Instead of laying down groups of cards during play, each player holds 10 cards until the last. (T'hiS makes it harder to figure what the other guy is collecting0 When the values of the disassociated cards in one players hand total 10 or less, he may rap the table or say, I'm out" or exclaim, i've got you this time, you so-and sol" Example of such a hand would be g, 10, J, o of clubs, three 6s, two deuces and a 5-spot)
 APPARENT LOSER
 MAY WIN
 So he puts down his hand. Oppo- nent then may lay down whatever groups of sequences he may have, and he also may play on the other persons hand if he has anything thatll fit. All face cards count 1O, aces l. Game is 100. The scoring is bit complicated. If the winner is stuck with cards totaling g, and if opponents unplayed cards have a count of fl, the winner of the hand takes score of 32 plus a bonus of 25. (These hand winning bonuses usually are applied at the end, since most of them cancel out.)
 Now let's assume that oppinent has run of small luck and wins five hands in succession without reaching game score of 100.

Capacity attendance at the War ner Bros. Strand theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the thrill-f1lled picture "The WeSterner" with Gary Cooper in the title role, supported by Walter Brennan, Doris Davenport, Fred Stone, Lillian Bond and Forrest Tucker.
 Cooper once again rings the bell as f1lmland's most outstanding ex- ponent of the outdoor hero; the tall silent man of the West, who is quick on the trigger, a fast horse man, attractive to women and at home on the range.
 His brilliant portrayal is equalled by Walter Brennan as Judge Bean, the colorful, unkempt, fearless Law West of the Pecos," who adminis- tered justice at the point of a gun
