Her personality won Broadway
quickly. The musical experts of the
modern school were swift to recog-
nize her talent, with the result that
she was in constant demand in the
entertainment sector on the Broad
way front.
After seven months at the Cafe
Society, she quit New York on a
hunch, heading for Hollywood. She
sang at Holywood's Little Troc,
where Roger Edens heard her.
At his suggestion, the girl sang for
an addition at Metro Goldwyn- May
er studio. She was placed under
contract for her initial screen ap-
pearance there in Panama Hattie. ("
She had been before the cameras
twice before, in two musical shorts.
She has developed a philosophical
conviction about her career, success
full as it has been. 1t is a mistake, she
believes, to hope too much for any
thing, because if it doesn't pan out
the disappointments hurt that much
more.
Miss Horne was married in 1897 in
Pittsburgh, to Louis j. Jones. They
eventually separated and she return

two children, Gail, years old, and

Slim, golden-hued, with cleaning
black hair and dangerous brown
eyes, she sings effortlessly in rich
.contralto- blues with the haunting
Tilt of melody as old as the tribal
songs of Africa, yet strangely new.
: She was born in Brooklyn in the
days of World war T. Her parents,
Edwin F. and Edna Rodiguez Horne,
had formerly operated small hotel
in Pittsburgh. AS a youngster, she
gave no thought to the theater. She
attended public schools and Girls
High School in Brooklyn. Her moth

Sensation at 10


Suddenly she was in the chorus
there, and enjoying it tremendously
Flourney Miller, of Miller and Lyle,
took her to Noble Sissle, who heard
her sing and promptly signed her for
his orchestra. At 10, she became
sensation, remaining for year,
broadcasting and making personal
appearances.
She later appeared with Charlie
Barnet's orchestra and for thirteen
weeks was a featured singer of NBC,
on the Dixie program, the Cotton
Club and Cafe Society night spots.
In 1910 she appeared with Lew
LeSlie'S 'BlackbirdS." The show
closed after two months, but Lena
Horne got excellent notices. She re-
corded for RCA Victor, compiling an
album, Birth of the Blues" Broad
way warmed to her voice and adj
mired her sloe-eyed tranquility in
the midst of its blatant night life.
The theater fascinated her in any
form, SO long as she could sing. In
night clubs, radio appearances, or
before the footlights, she felt thor.
oughly at home, and her singing gave
that impression. 1t was then, as
now, effortleSS, obviously as pleas
ant for her as for the listeners. In
the parlance of show business, she
was natural" and her dusky beau
ty was in harmony with her langor-

she thanked them for their LOYALTY

probation for the honor of being
present at the dedication, a Joint
talent show of Hollywood stars and
USO Troupe IS swung into action.
Variety of Talent Presented
The 37th Special Service Com

religious selection. Then, in slight
ly different tempo, Miss Pearl Bail
ey, USO song-styliSt, accompanied
by Miss Basil Spears at the piano,
tore the house down with her sweet

to tear herself away from the de-

kozi Commentators Call
Arms Figures 'Fontostic'

NEW YORK, Jan. tP,.-The
Germans first comment last night
on President Roosevelt's address to
Congress took the customary line OF
attacking the President, and they
singled out his figures on United
States war production for particu-
lar comment, describing them as
Fantastic.
The Berlin radio broadcast a COM
ment by the diplomatic correspond
ent OF the German Transocean News
Agency, declaring:
'Roosevelt's threats about attacks
on Europe planned for this year
particularly from the air. we're reg
istered without alarm in Berlin" the
commentary said. The German
people know that Roosevelt's soldiers
and bombers will get the surprise of
their lives if they attempt to carry
out Roosevelt's threats.
1T is recalled that the Fuehrer
recently stressed that Germany like
wise possesses new arms and that
Anglo air attacks launched
from the British Isles will be an
sWered by far more powerful Ger
man air attacks on England.
The fact was regarded as rather
significant that Roosevelt intends
to concentrate mostly on air at
tacks. This indicated that the
Americans have realized-after their
setbacks in North Africa and the
Paciflc-that American naval or
land actions have not the slightest
chance of success"

Through a window, the sight of
two wanderers Erred Nagler, the
artist, was along trudging through
a snowstorm with an ice-fllled river
on one side and bare trees and the
great wall of the Palisades on the
other, might have moved kind
hearts to pity such outcasts on
day like that. But. just the same,
it was wonderful to be out there.
Mr.. Nagler, being an artist, likes
to see duck hawks in flight (the
fastest thing in feathers in this part
of the world and these avian aces
of the air often shoot out from rocky
perches on the Palisades to sweep
the sky and scour the happy hunt
ing grounds for miles around. The
duck hawk is the American eQuiva-
lent of the peregrine falcon famous
in medieval hunting history. 1t
"stoops" to conquer-the "stoop"
being the downward dive of amazing
speed when the desired prey Is
sighted below.
1t has been said and written that,
in these dives, duck hawks attain
a speed of $50 miles per hour COR
even higher but how any one could
clock them over such q course Is a
mystery and this observer would
settle for less until proof positive Is
offered of such sensational speed.
Incidentally, among hawks and in
general among those birds Of prey
known as "raptors.' the Kipling
line holds good in that the female
of the species is more deadly than
the male" And larger than the
male, too
Fullback Turns Poet.
After searching the sky vainly for
duck hawks, Mr.. Nagler warmed his
artistic soul by remarking how
handsome the hemlocks looked amid
the falling snow. A man has to be
careful what he says about the
strength and beauty of trees In win
ter, evergreen or otherwise.
This observer recently wrote some
kind words about naples, oaks and
