"NIGHT AT EARL CARROLL'S"
IS OFFERED AT CAROLINA

Earl Carroll beauties, gorgeous
gowns, spectacular d a num-
pers, comedy, hit tunes and stir
ring melodrama are the rich in
gradients presented by Paramount
in "a Night at Earl Carrolls,'
which opens today at the Carolina
theatre.
With witty Ken Murray and love-
ly Rose Hobart cast opposite each
other for romance, the picture has
the additional advantages of those
Wacky comedians of the Bob Hope
radio show Brenda and Cobina,
making their first MOVIE appear
ance. Among those in the fine
supporting cast are such veteran
favorites as j. Carol Naish, Lii
liam Cornell, Beryl Wallace, Betty
Mclaughlin, Ruth Rogers and Rus
sell Hicks.
One of the surprises in store for
filmgoers is the appearance of Earl
Carroll himself in the picture,
making his debut as an actor, aft
er more than 80 years Of associ-
alton with show business. Carroll,
of course, is cast in his real-life
role of i~mpressario; and also max
ing a bid for honors are the famed
Earl Carroll Girls-the one hun
dred most beautiful show girls in
Hollywood-all meticulously select
ed by the great beauty authority
himself.
Laid against the %glittering back
ground of Earl CAROLS own NAM
moth theatre-restaurant and night
club on Sunset Boulevard, in the
heart of Hollywood, the story tells
what happens when a rackets big
Shot tries to cause the downfall of
a reform mayor. and kidnaps Earl
Carroll and his show as part of
his destructive scheme. How the
racketeer's plan is foiled brings
the picture to it's comedy climax,
after a series of dancing and sing
ing numbers and variety a t S
brighten the plot pattern. Advance
reports inform that the nation will
soon be singing and dancing to
four hit tunes from the picture,
II Wanna Make With the Happy
Times" Zone Look IT You," "Li'l
Boy Love- and "Cali-Conga."
For added pleasure the Carolina
offers a new musical featurette,
Beat Me Daddy = Eight to the
Bar!", a color cartoon novelty,
"Ants in the Plants" and the latest
news events. l

F.D.R. IS RATED
NO. AS ORATOR
Beecher And Bryan Named
: No.. l And No. 2 Pub
+ lie Speakers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. -P-
President Roosevelt was rated today
as the third best American public
speaker in the past century.
Abraham Lincoln ranked fourtf
on the list prepared by Prof. K. e.
Hance of the University Of Michl-
gan, an authority on oratory and
one of the speakers at the conven-
ton here of the National Associa-
ton Of Teachers of Speech.
Dr.. Hance gave top honors to
Henry Ward Beecher, writer, ora
tor and clergyman, whom he called
the most effective speaker of the
century. He cited the five speeches
Beecher made in England in 1865
which, he said, were responsible Tor
turning British sympathy away
from the C~onfederacy.
Second place went to William Jen-
nings Bryan, as the unknown" VINO
captured the democratic presidential
nomination in 1896 with his now
celebrated "cross of gold" address.
The President was given third
place, the professor said. despite
the fact ghost writer's probably enter
into the preparation of certain
speeches"
In evaluating speakers, DR.. Hance
explained that he weighed the et-
f~ectiveness of orators in using the
situations at their disposal. Thus
Mr.. Roosevelt got no credit for the
fact that radio brought his words
to millions more ears than Lincoln
ever reached. But he was given
credit for adapting himself to the
microphone - getting a radio per
sonality."
Fifth place went to Albert Bev-
eridge, who was senator from Indi-
ana and the 'spearhead of the re-
publican campaigns of 1898, 1900,
1902, 1904, 1906 and 190S,' as DR..
Hance described him.
DR.. Hance selected these as the
eight other leading American speak
ers of the century, although not
ranking them in order:
Chauncey Depew, corporation law
yer and Americas greatest toast
master; Henry w. Grady, one-time
editor of the Atlanta Constitution;
Robert ~Ingersoll, the %agnostic; Wen
dell Phillips, Lyceum lecturer; Wood
row Wilson, for his scholarly style
Of address, powerful in world af-
fairs; Theodore Roosevelt; Phillips
Brooks, Episcopal preacher of Phila-
delphia and Boston, and Robert La
Toilette, Sr., senator and speaker
for the militant progressive move
ment.

new personal ensign chosen by
Marshal Petain himself was flown
from the chief of states automo-

his official residence for his New

GEORGIA PHYSICIAN
PROSPERITY
Too Many Hinesville Patients
Wanting To Pay Bills
Worry Dr.. Colson
BY HAROLD TYLER

HINESVILLE, Ca, Jan. 1.-CR-
So many cash customers harass DR..
A, c. Colson these days that he is
looking for a peaceful, ~sun-bathed
hillside in some quiet Georgia viii
lage where the army doesn' want
a thing they have"
He intends to pack UP, kit and
kaboodle, and HE himself 1way
from "too much prosperity in pur-
suit of the "quieter if moi the better
things of life"
That's his decision after observing
the effects of Camp Stewart, the
600-square mile anti-aircraft train
ing reservation established by the
army Just outside of Hinesville,
where some $4,000 men will be train
ed next year.
Patients who have owed bills for
many months now are bothering the
doctor by paying up, using monies
earned in the Camp Stewart con-
struction program, he said.
1t used to be, DR.. Colson said, hat
he and another physician divided
up the business in Hinesville-pop'
ulation SAB before national defense
came along-and there was not too
much work for either of U.S."
Especially not too much for DR..
Colson, he added, since Il don't need
to make a lot Of money and haven't
any ambition to be famous"
Friends used to bring in a melon
or two," he pointed out, cor maybe
a nice fish or a pair of birds. Or
they'd invite me out for a day of
hunting"
"Hinesville was a nice quiet re-
treat, where a man could stop to
read a book, or smoke a pipe, or
just sit back and chew.
There weren't even any hoboes-
the railroad didn't come close to the
town. (The army since built a spur
line and the whistle still startles
folks unaccustomed to such a
racket.)
Nobody made much money, but
then competition wasn't exactly
fierce for what business there was.
81 had a nice hillside picked out,
with a creek big enough for fishing,
to build a homest to retire to. 1t was
the only hill in this flat country.
Now the army has it for their
range"
Dr.. Colson said he had practiced
in New York city and Tampa, Fla,
before he discovered Hinesville some
years back. A daughter will finish
college this year and a son already
is established in a nice practice"
$50 + have no need for lots of
money-three or four thousand a
wear I took in at Hinesville and 1t
was enough, because here expenses
are not so high. I own my own Of
flee building, don't have to pay rent,
and taxes aren't high-yet."
Before the anti-aircraft guns be-
gin to fire, DR.. Colson said, he In
tends to be out Of earshot. He al
ready has a spot in mind, he admit
ted, but wouldn't say where until
the papers are signed.
"There are so many good books l
haven't had time to read. and an
other pipe or two to smoke"

Palestine Now Bases British Fighting Forces

pALESTINE, traditional home of ~ the Jews, a nation in which Christianity got its start and in which Mohammedanism later played important roles, is being used today to base British troops, warning with Vichy French forces in the Levant.
 The Jerusalem landm ar k, shown on the 1892 Palestine stamp above, is the Mosque of Omar, which was ordered built by -Hafsa-ibn-al K h a tt a b Omar, second Caliph of the Mos- 1ems and organizing genius of the Mohammedan movement.
 The Temple of Omar now stands on the site of Solomon's Temple.
 When Omar became Caliph, he undertook a series of conquests designed to spread Mohammedan- ism. Before his time, the Mos- lems were an obscure sect, and, as a matter of fact, Omar him- self delighted in prosecuting them before his conversion in 6l7.
 Palestine has often been inc volved in wars, most famous of which were the Crusades in the Middle Ages. After World War I, Palestine became a British mandate, having been occupied previously by Egyptian forces.
