Stettinius
 Will Attend Big 3 Farley

Washington, Jan. 19-(UP)-Sec- retary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr.. announced today that he will accompany President Roosevelt to the forthcoming meeting of the big three.
 Stettinius made his statement at a press conference after President Roosevelt permitted him to discuss the matter,
 The British previously had an- nounced that Foreign Secretary An thony Eden would accompany Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the meeting.
 "The President invited me several weeks ago to accompany him on his forthcoming trip" Stettinius said.
 Did you accept the invitationp" he was asked.
 There was no answer but a roar of laughter by the correspondents and the secretary.
 Stettinius then specifically said that he would go with the Presi- dent and that he also would be present at the forthcoming meeting of American foreign ministers III Meico City, now scheduled to begin on Feb. l5.
 Stettinius brushed aside further questions on the timing of the two meetings and the possibility of him being able to attend the opening session of the Mexico City meeting. He cautioned correspondents that such questions involved the security of the President and suggested that the subject be changed.
 The Mexico City meeting is ex- pected to last until sometime into March.
 Stettinius said he was unable to say whether Soviet Foreign Com Missar " M .Molotov would be pres- snt, but 1t has been assumed that he you'd accompany Premier Josef @AuAin.

Music played a very minor role in
the early life Of the south-of.the-bor
der song merchant He was born in
Zamora, Mexico, and lived there un-
til he was nine. Then his parents
moved TO Horton, Kan, and subse-
quently to Chicago. His father had
phobia against musical instruments,
so when young Don bought a mando-
lin he hid it in the attic and did his

unless you do il well"
After finishing an apprenticeship
in the Rock Island Railroad shops,
Don went to work for the company in
Fort Scott, Kan. He was learning
TO play the banjo then, and got into
the show business when he had TO
pinch-hit at a moments notice for
vaudeville banjoiSt who arrived at
the local theatre dead drunk.
He soon discovered that grooming
and guitar-playing paid several times
as much as handling lathe and was
a lot more exciting. He was favor
ite at theatres all over the United
States, but his greatest successes
were in London and on the continent,
where Mexican troubadours with a
fast and comical patter were rare.
1t wasn't long before he made an
other diScovery-that women who dis
believe anything a man tells them
will, however, become very earnest
about anything he sings to them, even
if he doesn't mean a word OF 1t.
It was that way with the Hilton
sisters, Daisy and Violet, who were
born with a juncture at the base of
their SpineS. Their biographer, in q
recent series in The American Week
" quoted Daisy as saying she was
infatuated with Don and felt sure he
reciprocated her affections-even, she
said, to the point of proposing to her.
The fact is that Don's relationship
with the Siamese twins was confined
to a few chance meetings and was
entirely on a business basis. Once
again the magic of those soft brown

eyes, that romantic voice and that
eloquent guitar had created a false
impression, and The American Week
ly is glad to correct the mistake.
Those stories were entirely
wrong" Don says. THE Siamese
twins and 1 were on the same bill in
a Newark theatre Several months
later we were at different theatres
in Kansas City at the same time.
They dropped in to catch my act and,
of course, we had chat.
Long after that we met in San
Antonio, Tex, where we all hap
pened TO be living. 1 attended a
party at the home of their attorney,
and they told me they were suing TO
be free of their guardian. If they
won, they said, they wanted me TO
be their theatrical manager.
zone day l got a long distance
call in New Orleans telling me they
had won. We arranged 10 meet in
New York. When l arrived at their
hotel rooms, l found a party going
on. I told them they should stop
having parties il they expected to
keep their public. They said they had
Just freed themselves Of one domi-
neering man and didn't want another.
l said 'Okay, girls, If that's how you
feel about it, get someone else TO
manage you And that's the last l
saw Of the Siamese twins"
But these and a lot of other mem
ories are going to be left far behind.
Don really has lost his heart-twics,
He has lost it to beautiful YolanCr.
Madero, who is now Mrs. Galvan.
And he has lost it to General Cope
da-not an army officer but quaint
little Mexican town. Unwilling to
abandon the theatre entirely, he's
building a motion picture house there
to be named, of course -Yolanda--
He's even thinking OF limiting the au.
dience to men. But he probably won't.
