turning to the screen Tor the
third time, has grabbed off her
fattest acting plum to date. She
is playing the important starring
role of Madeleine opposite George
Sanders in the highly romantic
Loew-Lewin production of The
Private Affairs of Bel Ami. "
This is an adaptation of Guy de
Maupassant's colorfu III novel,
"Bel Ami" set in Paris of the
80s, which bowed in at the
Valentine Theatre this week.
Ann, who was born in New
York City, started in pictures IN
1929. But she had an unusual
gift for dancing, so she dropped
acting to become a dance direc.
tor. She returned to the screen
with Sweet Music" in which
she sang with Rudy Vallee. She
went on to win a highly dramatic
role in "Scarface," opposite Paul
MUM, that brought her instant
fame.
She married Leslie Fenton,
author, actor and globe.trotter in
1882. In less time than it takes
to tell it, Ann had deserted the
screen and was off to Europe on
a honeymoon that lasted nine
months.
She came back when she jolly
well felt like it and played a long
succession of roles that bounced
her right back on top. But, sud
denly, with the outbreak OF
World War II, her husband was
sent to England where he com
manded an MTB boat at ST
Nazaire. Ann once more ditched
her career and followed him
While in London, she picked UP
another career, that of a news
caster.
When the war was over Ann
came back to Hollywood. And
what happened? You guessed it,
Instead of being a forgotten face
she was off again on her bril-
liant road to fame.
It seems that no matter where
she roams there will always be
a career waiting for Ann Dvorak
In Hollywood!

Observers See
Hope in Runkin
Loss to Stennis

JACKSON, Miss. (NNPA).-The
surprise election of John Cornelius
Stennis, a country judge, for the
Senate seat of the late Theodore &.
Bilbo, and the decisive defeat Of
Representative John f. Rankin, who
trailed badly in a six-candidate
field, indicated a trend away from
the prejudice and bigOtry on which
Bilbo thrived, observers believed.
Rankin was fifth in the six-man
field with 24,054 votes. Forrest B.
jackson, counsel for Bilbo in the
two hearings before Senate commit
tees on charges Of graft and intimi-
dation Of colored voters, which re-
suited in Bilbo's being denied a seat
in the Eightieth Congress, received
4l,s2S.
Senator elect Stennis kept the
race issue out Of his campaign ora
tory. He talked about agriculture,
labor relations and world affairs.
Rankin, a fanatic on the race
issue, was the only candidate who
failed to get any support at all in
the all-colored town Of Mound
Bayou. Jackson received thirty-6ve
votes in Mound Bayou, Johnson
twenty-five, Stennis four, Colmer
one, and Collins one.
During his campaign Jackson
said he wanted to lead in all pre-
cincts except one-Mound Bayou.

Mr.. Cuthbert, who for more than
a quarter of a century was the
card room attendant, was honored
by the men he served-including
some of the best-known men in St.
Paul. The banquet was held in the
main dining room.
Sid" as he is known to hun
dreds of Athletic club members,
is pleased with the recognition
he is receiving.
Years ago ne worked at Magee's
hotel and restaurant at Fourth and
Robert, which was considered one
of the best ever to exist in the city
and was for men only. Women
were served only in a private din
ing room on the second floor.
Cuthbert was headwaiter at the
Frederic hotel in its hey-day, when
it operated a handsome dining
room. Later he went to the Ath-
letic club where he endeared him
self to the guests and other persons
on the clubs staff.
Asked about his work in the
card room, he said: "0h, an at
teRdAnt watches over every
thing to see that things 60 all
right" Usually games begin
about noon and there are some
men playing in the afternoon.
The room is operated until mid
night and I've seen some pretty
exciting playing going on at
those tables.
Another thing the card room
attendant has to do is answer the
telephone a lot-tellIng wives that
their husbands are not there"
Besides liking card games, Sid
is fond Of baseball, football and
hockey. When he was young, he
played baseball. He makes his home
with a niece, Mrs. Cora Lee
Vaughn.
Sid has the name Of the

Urges Full Rights
For All Citizens

The chairman Of the American

of the American Legion, Judge Will
liam c. Larson, gave an Armistice
Day address over radio station
WLOL.
The Judge, who is also chairman
of the American Citizenship and
Bill of Rights committee Of the
State Bar association, said in part:
I'VE must face the fact that we
have failed thus far to create a fell
lOwship and mutual understanding
among our people and among ma
tions. We must broaden the concept
Of freedom within our own borders
and spread the light of mutual I'M
derstanding to vast areas of the
universe where fellowship flickers
fitfully and where human life re-
mains a pawn in the hands Of the
god of force. We will never be able
to compensate in full measure for
our derelictions Of the past.
Let US recOnsecrate our lives to
the task Of establishing for all
Americans the rights and privileges
they are entitled to as Americans
irrespective of their national orr
gin, race or creed. We must work
to close the gaps in our democracy
resulting from racial and religious
tensions and unjust discrimination.
One of the best defenses against
communism and fascism is to
strengthen our own democracy and
show that we have the best system
of government yet devised. Demo-
cracy means neighborliness"

dress an open meeting 70 be held
by Johnny Baker Post POI, Ameri-

land Ave. NJ, Minneapolis.
The subject for discussion will be
Problems Relating to National
Security"
Veterans throughout the Twin
Cities are particularly interested
In this meeting, a. It Is generally
felt that some hint may be dropped
as to how the Stats win handle the
induction Of Negro Youth into the
armed forces, when national de-
Tense plans are completed.
II Is almost patent that any law
covering such service win have
some provision made for a great
many men to secure Military Train
ing without leaving their home
state.
In an effort TO prevent Negro
Youth from being by-passed in any
such plans as may be developed,
a committee composed Of rspresen-
tatives Of Ave Negro Posts, Of the
American Legion, and Veterans Of
Foreign Wars, have besn attsmpt-
ing to find a solution to the prob
lem through a series Of conferences
with State officials regarding the
future status Of Negro potential
trainees.
According to Ben Peery, Public
Relations Chairman Of the Commit
tee, complete and unrestricted en-
hstment Of Negroes Is entirely pos
sible In the present setup.
Certainly we cannot endure .
repetition Of the procedure used in
World War II. Sending the ma
jority of our youth into hostile
areas Of the southland, 10 be con-
fronted with social problems that
are both uncomfortable and unsolv-
able for a northern reared adult, Is
inviting disaster to an entire gem
GRAFTON.
The boys cannot develop their
highest capabilities as soldiers in
such an atmosphere, and frequent
ly they are made easy prey for
radical groups who thrive on dis
content and Illustration on leaving
the service. II is possible that Cen
eral Walsh will touch on this prob
lem in the course Of his address.
Johnny Baker Post acting as
host urges all persons interested in
the induction Of our youth for Ma
tiOnal Defense attend this meeting.
Twin Star Post Veterans Of For
eign Wars will act as host at q
similar meeting to be held Decem-
Der l4th In St. Paul.
