KEY WEST YACHT CLUB
is STILL CARRYING ON

When the story of the many
rises and falls of Key West is
finally told, one chapter will be
concerned with the tenacity OF
life exhibited by the Key West
Yacht Club. More than once in
the recent past have the decks
been awash and the crew await
ing the order to abandon ship,
but today the club is again gath
ering Roadway and again becom-
ing seaworthy.
Too much credit can not be
given to the retiring commo-
dore, Everett w. Russell, who
has steadily sworn that he could
see the proverbial bit of blue
sky, "big enough to patch a
Dutchman's breeches' and refus-
ed to even consider relinquish-
ing the helm.
Last Saturdays luncheon was
a testimony to the hold the Yacht
Club has upon its members and
also the hold that the lunches
symphonies of Swiss steaks;
glorious accomplishments of
cherry pie), evolved by the gen.
ius of Doc Clemmer, has upon
the members.
Colonel James D. MacMullen,
who will always be remembered
as the driving force that made
the club possible, sends from his
present distant station an ap-
preciated letter and a fine por-
trait of himself.
Present were Commodore
Everett w. Russell; Major Clai-
borne, of the Army Medical
Corps; J. K. Clemmer, F. W..
Wheeless, Howard Overlin, Chas.
S. Taylor, E. A. Ramsey, Wal
lace B. Kirke, S. c. Singleton,

Until the news came from
Japan that American airmen,
who participated in the April ID
attack on Tokyo had been "se-
verely punished" for their parti-
cipation in the raid, the people
of the United States were under
the impression that General
Doolittle's bombing expedition
had been carried out without the
loss of any American plane or
an American airman, except for
the plane and the crew which
landed in Siberia.

The farmers of the United
States can secure economic JUS
tice only if their representatives
can make out a plausible case
which will convince the three
fourths of the population who
are not agriculturalists. To
threaten responsible administra-
tors is not to advance a reason
to overthrow their positions and
it tends to persuade people who
are not familiar with all of the
facts involved that undue reli-
ance is being placed upon polit-
ical pressure.

We do not intend, at this time,

fact that the Senate farm bloc,

into the clear-cut opposition of
a substantial majority of the

Some of the farm bloc group
contended that the Presidents
executive order, thus interpreted,
had repealed congressional deter
mination of the issue involved de-
spite a ruling by Attorney-Gen-
eral Biddle upholding the right
to include subsidy payments in
determining maximum prices.

There is criticism that the War
Department should have an
nounced these facts before Tok-
20, and silence as to the fate of
our planes is attributed to the
policy of withholding bad news.
While Doolittle's statement, re-
ferring to destination" seems to
be misleading. it may have been
intended to prevent the Japan
csc from searching for the planes
and crews that "were involved in
forced landings in China"

In view of these considerations

The Strands current screen of- fering of Somewhere I'll Find You co-starring Clark Gable and Lana Turner, with Robert Sterling Pat ricia Dane, Reginald Owen, Leonid Kinskey and Sara Haden in the supporting cast, will have its final presentation tonight. Selected short subjects complete the program.
 Hold 1t, Strand! That was the re- quest of the moviegoers and we "dood it." Yep, folks, Panama Hattie," co-starring Red Skelton and Ann Sothern, moves to the Strand tomorrow for three addition al days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is one of the most diver sified musicals to hit the screen in many months. The film is fast mov- ing with an excellent human story, an exhilirating comedy routine, elaborate productions and tunes you'll whistle on your way out.
 Something you just can't miss is Miss Annie Rooney" the second smash feature on the same pro- gram. Starring Shirley Temple, the story of this new film is as timely as the rubber shortage, as lively as a bunch of young jitterbugs and as appealing as a young girls first TO- nance.

called cliff hangers because the heroine usually is life dangling over a cliff or in some other uncom- fortable and suspenseful predica- ment at the end of each episode. Miss Gifford's picture, however, turned out to be a tree-hanger-a jungle story without any cliffs worth mentioning.
 The studio was very pleased with it's forest cutie and began making plans to star her in whole series of jungle-queen serials. Miss Gif- ford, though, was alarmed by the prospect of spending the best years of her life swinging from vines and perching in leafy bowers, so she fled to her home lot and begged the bosses to spare her from such a fateS Paramount said all right and put her down for the role of a movie star in Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour"

 Twenty beautiful chorines, trained by an outstanding director, will present five different chorus rou- tines, many of which are being pre- sented in the Shor World for the first time. The thrilling Ball Num- Der, with all 20 girls balanced on rolling globes, the Radium Hoop Number and others, have been de- signed for spectacular appeal.
 Singing and dancing specialties, chosen to fit in with the theme of the revue, are spotted throughout the show. During some of these, the chorus, appropriately costumed, form colorful and attractive back ground for the performers.
 A personable Master of Cere- monies, in the person of comedian Abe Sher, keeps the show moving at lively and pleasing pace.
 Numerous stars of stage, screen and radio also appear in this gi- gantic revue, among these enter tainers are the Gaudsmidt Brothers in 8 spectacular knockabout comedy routine; lovely Lois Lynn, singer of blues songs; the 3 Flames, in a novelty skating act, one of the most daring ever presented; the Cres- sonians, troupe of sensational acrobatic dancers; Anothony, Allyn, and Hodge, novelty dancers and comics, and many others.

Performances this evening at Warmers State theater terminate the sensational record-breaking engagement of James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy" The pie ture is called Warner Brothers miracle musical and is truly a screen treat that should be seen by everyone as it positively will not be shown at any other theater until 1943. A big surrounding program of selected short subjects com- pletes the bill.
 Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman are coLstarred in the giant production ''The Talk of the Town" beginning a four-day engagement at the State tomorrow and at regular State prices.
 Although Grant and Miss Arthur have been teamed before, Ronald Colman makes a triumphant triumvirate of Number One stars in ''The Talk of the Town"
 A delightful combination of rich and racy romance, with a suS- penseful background of melodrama and action The Talk of the Town" is regarded not only as a uniquely different sort of story but one which, in its final form, is the fin- est writing effort of its authors.
 Involving fugitive from legal injustice, the nations foremost legal theorist and candidate for the United States Supreme Court bench, and the incest girl gossips ever went to town on, "The Talk of the Town" introduces to the screen a dignified delightful new concept of the romantic triangle.
 The producers announcement of the casting of Cary Grant as the fugitive, Miss Arthur as his fellow fighter against injustice, and Col- man as the dignified, bearded law school dean, automatically insured for "The Talk of the Town" the No. spot in public interest. And audience reaction to the film, as evidenced as various sneak pre- views" resulted in more acclaim than ever before accorded a motion picture.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present "Blondie for Victory" another in the hilarious Blonde" series with Penny Singleton as Blondie, Ar thur Lake as Dagwood and Larry Simms as Baby Dumping.

The producer, Henri Diamant- Berger, escaped from the Continent after the fall of his country but has maintained some of his con- tacts. He wrote about the state of French show business for Pour La Victoire," a Fighting French organ published here.
 Maurice Chevalier, Mistinguette of the Million Dollar Legs" Sacha Guitry, Yvonne Printemps, Harry Bauer and Marcel Pagnel are among those Diamant-Berger knew well and of whose current status he is informed.
 Spain Stopped Chevalier
 He was especially bitter about Pagnol, whose work Is well known in this country. He said Pagnol had curried the favor of Vichy by in cluding a long apology for Marshal Petin in a picture "The Well Dig gers Daughter" last year. After that Hollywood contributions to ease the sufferings of French film techni- clans on the ground the money was Jewish"
 "He did not have to wait long for his recompense," the producer said. His studio in Marseilles sud- denly caught fire. Then playwright Jean Giono, although pacfiist, slapped his face and withdrew all right on his works on which Pagnol had been living for years"
 Chevalier, who left Hollywood a rich man and whose conduct has been puzzling to his friends since, tried to leave France in 1940 but was denied passage through Spain because he once sang at Spanish refugee banquet, Diamant-Berger said. He added that afterwards Chevalier wrote 8 magazine article denouncing those who left France.
 Then Chevalier returned to Paris under Vichy's threat to confiscate his property. And although listed as collaborationist by the Free French he refused to sing in Berlin. He still had not gone at last re- ports.
 Naxis Shelve Guitry
 Despite his repeated currying Sacha Guitry has been eliminated from the screen by his German
