SOthern
In Sixth
sMaisiie'
By CHARLES GENTRY

AFTER SEEING Ann SothernI
in "Maisie Gets Her Man." which
opens at the United Artists Thurs
day, Red Shelton couldn't help
saying, She Dood It."
Well. Red should know for he's
the man she gets in this the sixth
of the "Maisie" series, one of the
most successful of the chapter
type of film any company has
turned out within the past three
or four years.
There has been q lot OF talk OF
various successors tothe character
Ann Sothern created. and while
Lucille Ball, Martha O'Driscoll and
Alexis Smith have been mentioned,
liz seems hard to believe that
Sothern would forego such a ma
turaP' even for big-time stardom
in large musicals.
Musicals are, of course, where
Sothern got her start. AS Harriet
Lake she was well known to
revue-goers on the stage.
When Hollywood wiggled its
golden finger. Harriet scampered
out to the R-K-O lot only TO find
that her lot was to be a blond
fancy in second-rate musicals OPP
posite Gene Raymond.
ALWAYS A NEW LEAD
As a team they didn't win any
pennantS, so Sothern started to
free-lance, until M-G-M saw in her
the ideal "Maisie." She's made six
OF these and each one has had its
own say at the box office. In each
one she has had q different lead
ing man, but now it looks like
she's got the perfect partner, be-
cause he's a comic. too.
In the first one. Robert Young
romanced her, love she gave up
for script purposes and to- establish
her definitely as "Maisie," a rough
and-tough girl from Brooklyn with
a tender heart.
In "Congo Maisie," tall, dark
and seXy John Carroll gave her
the rush only to leave "MaiSie" a
little cold despite the tropical
climate.
THE FINAL TRIO
Lew AyreS was next in "MaiSie
Was a Lady" but the strain was
too much for her and she had to
resort TO slang and the more try
ing episodes of Gold Rush Maisie,"
in which she left Lee Bowman in
the lurch.
She finally got back to her ele-
ment as "RingSide Maisie," with
George Murphy as the apple of her
eye, but even he was brushed off
after Shelton reared his funny
head.
Now M-G-M believes il has the
right combination and it's up to
you to judge after you see "Maisie
Gets Her Man"
NEVER BEEN THERE
Actually, "Maisie" or Ann or
Harriet has sonly seen Brooklyn
from the Rainbow Room in Man

supported by a stranger argument made possible by North
ern Negroes. What is this argument? They send into
every northern community where there is a considerably
Negro population carefully instructed observers. They come
to observe and study the Northern Negroes indifference
towards the ballot so freely placed in his hands. For in
stance they will take a city like Omaha and show how
many Negroes live here of voting age. Then they will get
the records and show actually how many Omaha Negroes
voted or registered to vote. If it should be found that the
number refusing to register and vote is considerably larger
than the number actually voting, they take this fact back
to their propOgandists to be used in support of the theory
they advocate, that the Negro is neither ready for nor does
he care for the ballot, because in the North where he can
vote so large a number refuse SO to do. Say what we
will or may this argument is terrific. We of the north
owe a fairier deal to our brethren. of the south. We must
not hinder him because of our laZiness or Indifference or
ignorance in the handling of our rights to the ballot. WAKE

Corporation Counsel Lynch Fills Position Made Vacant By Promotion of Attorney Mcdonald
 Is Member of General Assembly

Appointment of Attorney John A. Membrino as special assistant in the city's legal department was an- nounced today by Corporation Coun- sel J. Gregory Lynch. The post, which the city budget describes as legal assistant for civil cases," pays a salary of $3,5O0 a year. The ap- pointment is effective Monday.
 It had been indicated earlier at the city hall that action on the ap- pointment would be delayed for several months. MT. Membrino, who served as member of the state House of Representatives during the l941 General Assembly, succeeds At torney Edward J. Mcdonald, who in January was promoted to the rank of Assistant Corporation Counsel. MT. Mcdonald succeeded Assistant Corporation Counsel Timothy Sulli- van, who has been i'll.
 Rep. Membrino was unusually &C., tive for a f1rst-term member of the legislature at Hartford. The Laur- el club, an organization of legisla- tive reporters, cited him in its bien- nial poll as one of the most prom is!ng" new members of the assem- ply.
 The appointment presumably means that MT. Membrino will not be a candidate for reelection to the legislature this fall. He was elected in 1939 in his first bid for political office.

President, March 6.-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt today criticized the disclosure by British supervisory production minister Oliver Lyttle- ton that an American naval base has been established in Eritrea on the Red Sea.
 MT. Roosevelt was asked at bis press conference for elaboration on statement made in London by Lyttleton that "the new American naval base in Eritrea is not very big at the Smoment but it is going to be a wacker."
 The President said that to discuss this base would be an invitation to bomb it. He added that he had not seen the story passed by the British censors.
 '"The same story has come through the censorship on the other side several times before but has been eliminated here" one news paper man told the President.
