ROLLING UP from Rio is that
romantic-voiced troubador, Tito
Coral, who is heading the new
show at the Club Royal this week.
Tito, who is an old friend and
favorite to Detroit supper club
patrons. has just completed a
South American tour which took
him to practically every capitol
south of the border and he's picked
up lots of new and fascinating
material.
He deserves special credit for
being among the first along with
Xavier Cugat to bring Latin
rhythms to our attention having
appeared here previously at the
Michigan, the DAG. and the
Blossom Heath.
His flashing smile, powerful bari
tone voice and intriguing gay
caballero manner make him a
suave and persuasive fellow on the
floor, OF course, he still includes
such familiar numbers as Don
keys Serenade" and Begin the
Beguine" upon request, SO that his
song program is nicely balanced

Sergeant York Comes
TO Michigan Screen Friday
BY CHARLES GENTRY

CONFIDENTIAL WITH today's
bellicose front page comes the
story of the great hero of the
First World War. Sergeant
York." which opens in film form
at the Michigan Friday.
OF course. every one knows of
the story of York's fabulous feat
when in October of 1918 this re-
ligious hill-billy from the Tenne-
see mountains killed rs German
machine gunners and single
handed captured 1872.
But few know that York con-
sistently refused for over 20
years to let a film company to
capitalize on his heroism and 1t
was only when Hollywood pointed
out to him last year the fact that
such a story would be an inspira-
ton for our countrys defense to-
day that Alvin c. York relented.
NOT FOR SALE
Producer Jesse Lasky finally
overcame York's staunch claim
that his "country's uniform was
not for sale" with this point and
Warmers went TO work on re-
search and script production.
York, himself, helped with this
preparation and gave many a
timely hint about his early life to
aid the scenario on its way.
Gary Cooper, whom York calls
"mah type of a man." plays the
leading role and Joan Leslie. one
of Detroits own Brodel sister
team, has the part OF his first
sweetheart, whom York returns
to marry after the war.
