late Douglas Fairbanks on high stunts. Doug got dizzy on anything higher than a 10-foot wall. Brother Otto, now 52, and the oldest of the boys, spent year in hospital be- cause of 0 stunt that failed in a Fairbanks film.
 Diving over a balcony railing for a Six-story drop into net, his toes hit the railing, threw him of balance and he landed on one of the posts holding the net. He's still in pictures, though, and go- ing strong.
 FILM FALLS
 Vic Mazetti once did a fall from the top window of a seven-Story building, plunging through six avn ings, using no pads or mattresses, but counting on a strong last avn ing to break his fall before he hit the sidewalk. He was not inured.
 Watching Dick Talmadge tum- ble down the 20-foot flight of steps on the Ali Baba" set was Paul Malvern, producer of the picture. Our talk about film stunts brought back memories for Paul, who used to be stunt man him. self A theatrical acrobat, he got his first job in films '2S years ago by doubling for Mary Pickford (blonde curls and alb in 8 fall from a porch.
 Oh, yes, there are stunt women. too. Best one we know is Betty Danko, who likes to tell about roll- ing down flight of stairs at the age of 3. Her panic-stricken mother rushed her to hospital, but Betty was smiling and unhurt.
 BROOMSTTCK BETTY
 Betty has been injured only once in 12 years of film stunting. She was doubling for the witch in 'The Wiz ard of o." flying through the air with the greatest of ease on 8 broomstick. The broomStick was suspended from the sound stage ceiling with invisible wires. Betty was supposed to press button to release some smoke during the scene but something went wrong and there was an explosion. She was really flying through the air-lninus the broomstick. Betty started grab ping at things, cut up her arms on the wires and darn near busted her back when she hit the cement floor. She went to the hospital for two weeks, but came out good as new.
 Even Lloyds of London, which will insure anything, won't insure stunt men. Their only compen- Sation for accidents is the mini mum amount carried by studios for injuries on the lot. Wages for stunts range from $35 for general fighting up to $200 and $500 for top tricks.
 Several stunt men we know have collected as much as $40,O00 a year. And, brother, they've earned every cent of it.

M The Local
 TheaterS
STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves with Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Ttlrhan Bey in oc-staring leads; also Gloria Jean in Moon. light in Vermont.
 Plenty of sure-fire entertainment will be in the offing for patrons of Warmers State theater starting to. morrow when Humphrey Bogart re- turns to the State sreen in his greatest picture to date Passage to Marseilles".
 The valiant contribution of those Frenchmen who fight-not bow to- faSciSm and the story of a small group of men who risked their lives to join that fight is the exciting background for the new hit.
 Starring Bogart as Matrac, an anti-Nazi who has been banished to Devils Island on trumped-up charg- es, the picture tells of his daring es- cape from the Island with four oth- CT convicts and the peril they en- counter in their attempt to get back to France.
 When they are picked up, more dead than alive, in midocean by a small freighter bound for Marseille they utter silent thanks that their trials have ended-but in fact they have just begun. Halfway to Mar seille word comes that France has capitulated. This provokes a crisis on board parallel to the bigger one in Paris when issues were raised be- tween collaborationists and anti NaziS. Bogart and his four fellow convictS settle the issue at last by taking over and plotting the ship straight into an English port.
 A big supporting cast includes Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Helmut Dantine, remembered for their unforgettable portrayals in "Casablanca," and Michele Morgan, Philip Dorn, George Tobias and Peter Lore.
 The gay musical comedy She's For Me" will be the second hit of tomorrow's new show. David Bruce and Grace Mcdonald team with George Dolenz and Lois Collier as romantic foursome in the new of- fering while Reginald LeBorg makes his bow for the first time as full length picture director.
 She's For Me" ably proves that the newer players are forthcoming star material. David Bruce demon- strates his ability in a gay role, widely differing from his macabre representation of "The Mad Ghoul."
 All in all here is one show that should be right at the top of your must" list. Plan to attend the opening performances tomorrow. And don't forget the States early bird show will be held Thursday morning at 9:30 for the convenience war workers.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

When st. Patricks Day comes
around. my thoughts often 60 back
to my boyhood when many of my
friends at school took pains TO wear
something green on the 18th Of
March.
That custom has lasted down to
| the present in places which are a
long distance from Ireland. Green
ties. green dresses and green scarfs
are worn on st. Patrick's Day by
thousands of persons on our side OF
the Atlantic. Men, women and chill
dren of Irish descent are most faith
full TO the custom, but it is followed
by friends of the Irish as well.
Faults can be found with people
of any nation, and the Irish have
their share, but I always have liked
a warmth of nature which I have
found in Irishmen.
Patrick, their patron saint, was no
Irishman. He was not born In Ire
land, and even his name came from
language which was foreign to the
Emerald Isle. Patrick" is Latin
name, meaning "patrician."
No one knows just when or where
st. Patrick was born. The years
372, 386 and $3.50 have been suggested
assthose in which he may have been
born. 1t is safe to say that he first
saw the light of day" in the second
half OF the 4th century.
Claims have been made that Pat
ricks birthplace was Daventry, Eng
Evening star., 1944-03-17

land, or Fitzpatrick, Scotland. 1t also
has been said that he may have been
born in the northern part Of France.
1t seems most likely, however, that
he was born in Wales. 1t is believed
that his father owned q small farm
In South Wales, bordering on the
Severn River.
If Irishmen had not captured Pat
rick, they probably never would have
had him for patron saint. As 1t
was, a number of them made a raid
on the coast of Great Britain. and
carried him away as a slave. We are
told that he was about Is years old"
when that happened, and that he
was taken to Ireland and forced to
watch sheep for his master.
Escaping on vessel with cargo
of Irish wolf-dogs. Patrick had sew
eral adventures before returning to
Ireland. The second time he reached
the island he came as missionary.
He preached the Christian faith to
Irish kings and mobiles, also to the
common people.
