Ice Jam Menace Eases
Along The Mississippi

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 3.-LR-
Chief ice menace in the Mississippi
river shifted to a gorge near Hell
ena, Ark, tonight after released
waters cut q channel through a 49,
mile winter-Snade dam near Caru-
thersville, Mo.
Forecasts for warmer weather
brought expectations that the Hell
ena gorge would go out over the
weekend and if the breakup is
swift several boats along the water
front will be imperilled.
Although the cutting Of the Caru-
thersville barrier left the Helena
gorge as the only major danger
point along the river, surface packs
still remained at Buffers Landing,
Ark, where the river is blocked,
and at Oldtown, Ark, where a chan
mel was cut through yesterday.

method Miss Pitts, for instance,

If those were not sufficient as sur
prises, Wilcox takes torchist Tamara,
a girl who can break your heart with
a vocal lament, and makes her a
ballet dancer. Not q good ballet
dancer, understand, but one who
does a burlesque of the art Of the
dance which is designed to totter
1t to its very foundations.
Tamara's introduction to pictures,
incidentally, is owed entirely to Will
cox. Hollywood screen-tested her so
many times it almost wore out her
face. She passed all the tests with
an "a" grade, but something always
happened. Tamara sat out more
pictures than almost any other ac-
tress you could name.
She might still have been sitting

along one day, spied her in R-K-O's
