gowned in a blue net trimmed in
pink velvet and Miss DOROTHY
HALL who was lovely in a yellow
Grecian style gown. The bodice
of the gown was of lace and the
full skirt of chiffon. The brides
sister, MRS. ARLEE SLAUGH-
TER, was matron of honor and her
charm was enhanced by deep rose

the cute little Misses Fannie In

ATHLETICS ROUND THE
TWO TOWNS:
The following lads are making
quite name for themselves on the
mixed high school basketball
teams: WILBUR WILSON of the
South High School in Minneapolis
has on numerous occasions led his
team in climb from the cellar to
victory. JOHN COTTON and
LEWIS BROWN have won many
plaudits for their excellent plays
on the John Marshall High School
basketball team in st. Paul. Ditto
for CHESTER HARRIS and HO-
GAN of Mechanic Arts High
School in st. Paul. The above lads
are not only excellent basketball
players but some of them are
kinda easy on the eye. At one of
the recent games, I overheard
some of the local gals saying that
the boys in their basketball outfits
could vie with a Johnny Weismul-
Ter physique any day. Saw
genial JIMMY LEE of St. Paul
and handsome JOHN THOMAS of
Minneapolis refereeing at a num-
Der of basketball games of late.

Tournament the other mite. MATT
HAMMOND, of the Ascension Club

well-earned decision over Maurice

through on top winning the welter-

OUT OF BREATH:
At the station the other day as
some of our army boys were leav-

heart goodbye about ten times
right straight along and when he
stopped, the tears came into her
eyes and she said in a sad tone of
voice, "Ah, Bob, Pm afraid you
have ceased to love mel" "No,

HOLLYWOOD.

1t was a heart -tugging scene they
were shooting on Stage l6 at
Warner Bros. The set was a
grass-covered, tree-shaded cemetery
studded with headstones.
Beside a newly-covered grave
stood Ida Lupino, Joan Leslie and
Dennis Morgan. On the sidelines
was Jack Carson. He was sup
posed to have committed suicide.
Miss Leslie was his widow. Miss
Lupino the woman who had broken
up their marriage, and Morgan his
partner and friend.
Carson watched intently as d.
rector Vincent Sherman put the
three other players through the
scene. Morgan bitterly accused Ida
of being responsible for the tragedy.
He tried to tell Joan something
of the way Carson felt over their
separation.
"At night he used to walk the
streets of the dreary little towns
we were in and read your letters
under street lamps"

showing herself to be delightful

travesty of the feminine ideal of
THE Gay Nineties."
1t has been remarked before that
Mr.. Harrison has the gift OF show
manship which he again demon
strated last night in his manner OF
arranging the selections for orches-
ira and soloist. A shift was made
in their order at the last minute
with the result that Miss Gambarelli
had a deeper twilight for her first
number than would have been pos
sible as originally planned. AS it
was, the last light of day seemed to
linger over the river and the hills
beyond, allowing an extra pleasure
to the many in attendance by the
slow resolution of colors in the sky
to the final soft darkness of night.
With this accomplished, the moon
hung, crescent-shaped, directly above
the shell with no apparent variation
of position and seemingly special
fixture in a planned scenic effect.
The colors of the shell, which in
daylight present strong contrasts,
merged smoothly into the back
ground of nature with the waning
light-a lovely setting for the
Arabian Nights" music that Mr..
Harrison chose as keystone of his
program and for the exquisite i'm
aginativeness of Miss Gambarelli's
dancing.
Mr.. Harrison's clever idea OF di-
viding Rimsky-Korsakoff's SYM
phonic suite, "Scheherazade." into
three sections separated by dance
number was good theater and, some
how, gave more unity to the whole.
1t was easy to pick up the thread
again, for the dances belonged to
this charming tale set to music.
The lively overture that Glinka
wrote for his opera. Russian and

The first two movements Of "Sche-
herazade," The Sea and Sinbad's
Vessel" and The Story of the
Prince Kalendar," were then given
with an opportunity to hear the
warm. expressive tone OF Miss
Reynolds, the new concertmaster,
in the violin solos.
The suite was interrupted for Miss
Gambarelli's first dance, "Figurlne,
by Kelley. The stately postures OF
the statue come to life showed the
graceful fluidity OF the dancers
movements and the artistic express
siveness of her hands. The orchestra
continued the suite with The
Young Prince and the Young
Princess" and Miss Gambarelli be-
came the ballerina in earnest in the
pirouettes on the toes with which
she interpreted her dance, Snow
flakes" to the music from Dellbes
"Coppelia." The orchestra con-.
cluded the suite with Feast IN

In the two widely different dances,
THE Gay Nineties." to Herbert's
music, and Saint-Saens' The Dying

climax of her success. A clever
pantomimist, her comedy in the
Herbert number was thoroughly en-

Joan Crawford, originally Lucille
LIE Seuer, got hers in a fan magazine

selected was Joan Arden, but they
discovered there already was a girl
in the movies named Joan Arden,

Jack Oakie was born Lewis Of
field in Sedalia, Mo-, lived in Okla

York and became chorus boy, so
they called him "Okie," as IN

Orchestra leaders sometimes help
coin names. Ted Flo Rito changed
William Anderson into Left Erikson
because of a presumed resemblance
to a Viking, and Hal Kemp con-
verted Martha Lafferty into Janet
Blair after her native Blair County,
Pennsylvania.
Our favorite synthetic name is
Lynn Bari, which stands for Mar

Actress Lynn Fontanne, whom she
admired, and Playwright Sir James

be Holland for no apparently good
reason. There also are intimate bed
room scenes, elephantine in their
delicacy, and there is even resort
to that venerable comedy device OF
the handsome young man tossed by
circumstances into the home OF q
great collection of elderly spinsters.
If that implies that the story
must be slightly disorganized among
its other faults, that Is precisely
what is intended.
Probably because 1t defies inter-
pretation, "The Wife Takes Flyer"
is a cavalcade Of inept acting. Tone
and Miss Bennett give constant
impression of trying to be as casual
as the story itself, an effort that is
climaxed by an almost vivid success.
