COMMENTS ON CURRENT TOPICS
BY DIR. w. ALEXANDER cox

lllbeA6SIeu, WHO was tne wiser
councillor for the south we all
love-the opponents or the au-
thor of this Bill.
There are some who decry
the passage of what they call
the golden era of States Rights.
Let it be known for the record,
that if State Rights is interpre-
ted what is indicated by certain
distinguished gentlemen, prom
inent in the Democratic Party. 1
humbly beg to be excused ad-
herence to that theory.
This Bill simply says. 1t is
the duty of Congress of the I'm
tied States to protect the pur-
ity of Congressional Elections.
to protect the right of people
of this Nation to enjoy the op-
portunity to vote for the men,
berS of their Congress-, who de-
termine their destiny and now
their lives. 1t simply says that
under a guiSe of qualification no
sovereignty can be great enough
to impose conditions which are
a burden upon the enjoyment
of those Constitutionally accor-
ded privileges to the citizen. In
our duel system of government
it says, in the state and local
sphere. the state and local
government are paramount; in
the Federal sphere the Federal
Government is dominent. Surely
that is no new Doctrine.
"The time to permit filibuster
in America is passed. If We give
6 or 10 Senators the power to
thwart the functioning of this
body who can be sure of what
kind of peace is possible?

Vera Zorina, the ballet dancer,

two weeks on location in the High
Sierras. The studio insists, how
ever, it will not interfere with her
work in two other pictures sched-
uled for her.

The Starlet and the Jockey
Cinema's Nan Grey and Jackie Wesrope Become
A Happily Married Unmatched Pair
By Robert Myers.
HOLLYWOOD.


IF any one wondered why pretty
young starlet named Nan Grey vir-
tuallv shelved a movie career just
when it was beginning to sparkle
and married a pint-sized jockey
named Jackie Westrope, the answer
is simple.
She was crazy about the guy
and still is!
And she didn't exactly quit her
career. She merely got tired Of
being pushed around on the movie
lots, PLAYING one of the Three
Smart Girls" with Deanna Durbin
one week, and Gloria Jeans mother
the next. So Miss Nan, spirited,
v4vacious Young gal, decided to step
out and take rest.
Now pictures are beckoning again
and in the meantime blue-eyed Nan
is doing very we'll with the leading
role in radio series.
The Westropes lead an odd, dis
connected life, with Jackie away so
much in the East and Nan here.
But they get together as often as
cross country air travel will Uermit
and that's about every month, at
least.
Not Self Conscious.
Westrope. you may know. is one
of the best money-riders in the
business.
He also is just short of feet 4
inches tall in his boots, while slen-
der, shapely Nan stands S feet 6 in
her silk stockings
"I was little self conscious about
the difference when We were first
married but not any more" says she
Jack never did mind. He likes for
me to wear high heels-and he just
won't dance with any Cne shorter
than he is"
This Grey -Westrope match is a
romance of the race tracks, with
Hollywood incidental.
Nan first saw Jack in 1888 when
horse racing came to her home town
of Houston, Tex. She was demure
young thing of l3-looked 16-and
admittedly was definitely boy-crazy
and giddy. She never would have
qualified for the debutant renks,
because her family was not in So
ciety and her father worked in
theaters for a living.
Anyhow. Westrope was the hero at
the Houston Horse Park and one day
Nan went out and split So met
with girl friend named Dixie. The
horses name was Meanie, Westrope
rode and won and the nag paid
5000.
1T looked like million to me
Why" said Nan, her eyes widening
II could get permanent with 1t. y

Afterward Nan contrived to rush
up to Westrope. who was about 16

started everything. although she said
Jack was so embarrassed he couldn' t
say a word except ugh"
Artful as any l3-year-old could
be, she wangled Jack into date
that night. Her girl friend went out
with Wayne Wright. another jockey
After that Nan couldn't stay away
from EPSON Downs.

friend, came to Hollywood. The
agents steered Nan into a contract
at Warner Bros. in two weeks. Nan
lied about her age She was IA.
Then she went to Universal and
stayed five years and made a dozen
or more pictures, usually as the
blond interest.
In 1885 Nan heard that Westrope
was riding at newly Opened Santa
Anita Park. She literally raced out
there and sent a note back to Jack,
He called that night and they

Long Dresses Vie
With Short for
Your Favor
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK - Glitter frockS are
~ Of tremendous Importance this
winter. Women feel. apparently.
that If they must cover shoulders
and neck, 1t should be with some
thing worth while. There's no
must" about the cover-up idea, it's
just that the trend is to avoid ex-
tremes in formality and, for that
matter. in style.
Everyone Is watching with inter-
est the race for popularity between
the long and the short dinner dress.
To date the longs have 1t, but. mind
you. unless there Is something else
about a dress. one Is somewhat In
doubt as to its vintage. Is 1t new or
a little old last years model? II 1t Is
bouffant you may be sure 1t Is last
years. the exception being the nom
priority bouffants. such as net, that
continue to be girls dream dress.
There is. however, an increasing
demand for the slinky dress. A CEN
ter-draped dress slashed at the
neck and also at the hem is the
most frequent expression. but 1t Is
followed closely by the slashed hem
with square or heart-shaped
neckline.
The slashed hem, reminiscent of
the classic Directoire. is essential to
dancing comfort. besides which 1t Is
new and daring enough to make
women like to wear 1t.
Many are the ways In which
beading is used: a trailing vine OF
sparkling leaves may elongate the
figure. since it curls over the torso
and extends down the skirt. There
are dresses Of the so-called fish,
scale variety and others that break
out in spangles.
The colors best liked at this writ
ing are black purple and fuchsia;
fuchsia and purple combinations
are numerous.
While black and color sequins are
in vogue. among the newer and
most approved are copper. usually
mounted on green, color, by the
way, that should be listed among
the desirables. Picture the elegance
of a slinky gown Of copper span
giles on green worn with tiny
brown ostrich feather hat and
huge mink muff. and when you
succeed in picturing 1t. you're sure
to add a mink coat for luck.
