the contemporary stage and screen
get together in single production
it's news. Such news is verified in
Broadway Melody of 1940,' COM
ing to the Kootenai Theatre Sunday
and Monday and starring Fred
Astaire and Eleanor Powell.
The story strikes novel note
from the very beginning Astaire
and George Murphy, dance team
temporarily unemployed, are work
ing as professional hosts in a ball
room. Through novel set of cir
cumstances, Murphy is mistaken for
Astaire and given try-out as lead
ing man for the dance darling OF
Broadway, portrayed by Eleanor
Powell.
Featured in Cast
The cast, in addition to the three
dance stars, Astaire, Powell and
Murphy, features Frank Morgan
Ian Hunter, Florence Rice and
Lynne Carver. Morgan finds new
vent for his comedy as the shows
author who battles two shortcom-
ings, a bad memory and blondes.
Rich in production value, with
sets topping in size and spectacular
qualities those of any previous pro.
duction, Broadway Melody of l940'
brings every conceivable type 0.
dancing to the screen. The mos
pretentious number, which form.
the finale, is Cole Porter's "Begir
the Beguine"
In addition to Begin the Be

was exempt from the require ments of the selective Service laws to register, but the urge to serve his country prompted him to volunteer his services to the overseas ommis- sion of the Knights of Columbus. He qualified for appointment and was sent to France as a Casey" He served with such distinction that at the close of the war he was re- lieved of his duties and given per- mission to tour the principal cities of Europe at the expenses of the K. of c. His trip was climaxed with an audience with the Pope in Rome.
 Varied Experiences
 Few K. of c. secretaries selected for overseas service had the ex- periences that fell to MT. O'Hearn. He saw duty in practically every sector of France where K. of c. secretaries were permitted to serve the A. E. F. With uncanny skill he piloted his supply truck through sections of the country that was potted with shell holes. He "got through" sectors when others failed. It was his enthusiasm for work, his seemingly endless supply of energy and his eagerness to volunteer in emergencies that won for him the commendation of his superiors.
 He played a leading role in an incident that attracted the atten- tion of the famous war correspond ent, the late Floyd Gibbons. The latter in special articles dramatized the part played by MT. OHearn in locating the body of a youth killed in action and whose parents had ap- pealed to civil and military authori- ties in Washington, D. C., and Paris without satisfaction. MT. Gibbons later referred to the exploit in his radio dramatizations, and paid trib- ute to the daring, courage, the sym pathies of Casey" MT. OHearn, who not only found the body, but in a daring experience succeeded in getting it abroad ship bound for the United States. The youths father, at that time an outstand- ing Chicago lawyer, and Floyd Gib- bonS were passengers on the same ship.
 Honored By Vets
 MT. O'Hearn two years ago was honored by World War Veterans of Waterbury at a special gathering of nIInCfC Knights of Columbus.
 In business circles the deceased was respected for his faithful ob- servance of high business standards. He was very successful in his busi- ness endeavors, but the success that came to him was the reward of dili- gent effort, years of service and un- failing honesty. He was a warm friend to many and 8 citizen of
