MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 10 --(P)--
The Atlantic coastline from Day.
tona Beach to Cape Hatteras, N.
c., was threatened today by a
severe tropical hurricane that
struck the Florida west coast
before dawn and headed rapid

patton of winds of so to 30 miles

The blow will pass into the
Atlantic near Jacksonville.
No loss Of life or casualties
were reported from the hurri-
cane which earlier caused per-
haps dozen deaths, injured be-
tween 800 and 400 persons and
sank at least three small YES
sells in Cuba.
MISSES KEY WEST
The storm swung around Key
West last night, moved up the
Florida west coast and turned
inland just east Of Tampa.
Winds up to 100 miles an hour
caused some property damage in
the Tampa area and the city
was warned to expect another
hard blow later today. st. Pet
ersburg came through with no
heavy damage reported.
The hurricane gave the Flor
ida Keys severe flashing as il
moved into the gulf from Cuba,
but the city of Key West, which
earlier expected to feel the full
force Of the storm, apparently
suffered no serious damage.
Seven persons were known
dead. more than 800 injured and
property damage was heavy in
western Cuba after the storm
battered the Havana area fol
more than five hours. Govern
ment officials said it would be
days before the full toll would
be known.

In Florida, residents of the
thickly populated beaches a.

Japanese reports that the re-
occupation Of the Philippines
has be,un are, as usual, subject
TO revision for accuracy, but fit
perfectly into the picture of the
Pacific war which has been
building up for some time.
Whether the Leyte alton is ac-
tually a part Of general inva-
sion or merely a preliminary is
of little moment. Either way IL
means that within compare
lively short time Macarthur will
have kept his promise to return.
Never before in world history
has there been such a battle as
that for the Philippines, which
is actually what the entire Pa
cific war has amounted to so
far. Japanese outposts have been
pushed back gradually for thou
sands of miles to prepare for
this action. Even Admiral Hal
sey's activities of the last few
days, in a comparatively small
corner of the great ocean, have
been staged on a scale to stag
ger the imagination. He has
thrown a great arc of protection
between the Philippines and ia
pan, destroyed 915 enemy
planes and with them the threat
of aerial counter-action, sunk or
damaged 3l2 ships, and smashed
many of the bases from which
both operated. Now history's
greatest fleet and greatest float
ing air force can be placed at the
disposal of Macarthur.
1t brings the climax Of two
long years of fighting a cunning
enemy in the jungles of the
southwest Pacific with one hand

HOLLYWOOD

Some day somebody may write a
book on How to Be Married and
Happy in Hollywood The book
may be written, but it's doubtful
if it will contain the recipe. More
people have failed to be happy
though married in Hollywood than
in any place in the world.
When the boss of the towns lead
ing studio, Louis B. Mayer Gnci-
dentally, the highest wage Garner
in the world moved his bags out Of
the house the other day and an
nounced separation from his wife
of many years, critics again set up
the old cry: Whats wrong with
Hollywood"
There are so many things wrong
with Hollywood's social and domes-
tic life that it would be folly to
attempt an enumeration Of them.
Marriage fails in Hollywood in such
large numbers, not because of the
lush, lazy climate, but because Of
the picture business and its lavish
ways.
For any one actively and impor-
family engaged in making movies,
counterattractions and temptations
of a widely divergent nature arise
to battle the married man or wom-
an-such things, for instance, as
big money, conceit, f1attery, pretty
and ambitious girls and rugged
hero types.
A few married stars-those bat
tling for two separate careers
manage to weather the welded
storm. but even for them it is not
always easy sailing. Imagine, for
example, you're big male star at
Twentieth Century-Fo you get a
couple of punk pictures and slip
at the box Office. Meanwhile, your
wife at Warmers is beginning to 60
great guns. Things can get little
caustic in situation like that
and they Go.
In 80 per cent of the double-career
marriages, where both husband and
wife are involved making movies,
career will whip love when it comes
to the shoWodWn. A couple of ap-
parertly ideal combinations do ex-
ist today, but this is only due to the
fact that the parties concerned have
a pretty level outlook on the busi-
ness and top it all with fine sense
of humor

The why's and wherefores OF all
the goings on concern the activities
of a gang that is using the inn as
a center for their criminal enter
prise. Beyond that, I shall keep my
peace. To reduce to sentence form
any of the action of this play would
be pointless. It's not play that S
supposed to make sense anyhow.
It's supposed to excite you and make
you laugh and if the screams of
last nights audience are any cri-
terion, it succeeds amply. In def
erence to any of the serious students
of the drama who may have read
this far despite my early warning,
I will frankly confess it's the wild
est potpourri of stock materials I've
ever seen Jumped into play form.
For two reasons, that didn't matter
to me- First was Zasu Pitts and
some good support: second was a
direction job that resulted in tim
ing that never gave me chance to
think. I have good friend of
whom this play reminds me. He
can talk about anything and amuse
me at length. Timing again.
never realize unless I make myself
think about it afterward that I've
been listening to a mass of non-
sense.
In contrast to the unassuming
character played by Miss Pitts is
that of the general handy man
about the inn, the kind you know
at once is going to be mixed up in
everything. I like Joe Downing. I
like the way he sinks around. Then
there is Cora Witherspoon. the red
headed. ex-owner of "Ramshackle
Inn who likes her drinks and her
memories. Harlan Briggs as small
town constable and Mary Barthel-
mess daughter of time movie
actor, Richard Barthelmess, as the

setting, product of Frederick Fox,
is noteworthy. You wouldn't believe
it If l told you how many doors he
to create in one hotel
lobby, all of which are used an in
credible number of times to add
to the goings-on.
Be that as it may, I think Zasu
Pitts is worth your while. She's

sonality. -
