Why Miss Raye performs as she

Prize Contribution
By Peggy Rees, II


Almost all my friends have a
hobby which they find interesting
My hobby is collecting dolls about
6 inches tall I started collecting
when I was about 7.
Some of my dolls came from Ger
many and France, but most Of them
came from America. Most Of them
wear long dresses of pretty colors,
but some have short dresses. have
one sister doll, dressed like a Holy
Cross nun, with a black habit and
a white cap.
I like my dolls because they re-
mind me of people of other coun-
tries. Some day, I may visit those
countries and really see the people
there.
At present, I have only 80 dolls. I
intend to continue my hobby even
when I grow up, and when I get
married my children will have a
lot Of fun with my collection OF
dolls.

The force and majesty of Niagara
we're almost unbelievable. During
the day, we also found great pleas
ure In exploring the surrounding
points of interest. We particularly
enjoyed the Cave of the Winds and
the attractive little boat called the
Maid of the Mist.
Incidentally, we soon learned that
the Canadians are artists at pre-
pairing delicious meals. We had the
privilege of eating on the hotel ter
race, which affords splendid view
Of the falls.
Nighttime was especially impress
sive. Lights rejecting on the turbu-
lent waters held the attention of
the throngs of tourists assembled
at the falls.
The week which we spent in On
tario passed in a seemingly short
time. I feel that our trip was an
outstanding event in all our lives.

lust Between
Yourselves -.
BY Philip n. Love-

You've been reading a lot lately
about Jane Greer, the Washington
girl who Is the star OF the forth
coming RKO movie, "Out Of the
Past" But you've probably never
seen so much as a mention of her
twin brother, Dom. He has always
had a time keeping up with her.
On July Is, 1899, Dom and his
sister, then. known as Bettyjane,
were pictured together in The
Junior Star under the heading
"Twins' Efforts Spurred by Jolly
Sort of Rivalry" There was, the
accompanying story said, "real riv-
airy" between the Greers, who were
then IA and lived at 1918 Thirty
fifth street NV. 1t was, of course,
all very Jolly" as Bettyjane hast
ened to point out. Dom and l are
really very fond of each other" she
explained. "But-Well, we just get
a kick out of getting ahead of each
other"
The twins started to school to-
gether-to Henry Cooke-but Dom
fell behind because of a severe at
tack of mastoiditis. The result was
that, during the 1889 school year,
he was in the eighth grade at Cor
don Junior High while she was a
freshman at Western High.
X X X
Dom got ahead of his sister
once, however, when linoleum cut
that he made was used on posters
advertising the annual Georgetown
garden pilgrimage.
Both Dom and his sister had
four years of training at the Ma
tional School of Art-he in cartoon
ing, she in costume design. Both
won scholarships.
But Bettyjane - pardon, Jane -
was more interested in singing,
modelling and acting than in draw
ing.
II was in the dramatic club when
I went to John Quincy Adams
School," she said, land now I'm in
the glee club at Western and trying
out for the civic theater. I've been
on the radio five times"
She wants to be singer" Dom
interrupted. Il don't. I want to
be a cartoonist. We've both been
drawing since we were and I've
been art editor of both the John
Quincy Adams Owl and the Gordon
News. She wants to be a singer"
He can sing, too" his sister
countered. "Just as well as can
But he won't"
Bettyjane came to national atten-
ton in 1912, when Life Magazine
published a photograph of her
modelling new WAC uniform.
Howard Hughes signed her to a
movie contract and Rudy Vallee
married her. Mr.. Hughes gave her
so little work, however, and Mr.
Vallee so little happiness, that she
dropped both contracts, along with
the Betty part of her name, ana
started anew.
Recently Jane was pictured on
the cover of Life and written up
inside, and Sheilah Graham, Holly
wood correspondent of The Star
and the North American Newspaper
Alliance, devoted column to her.
Life said: I'm private life she lives
with her family. All of them have
recently joined her in Hollywood,
saving only Uncle Obed, who busies
himself in Florida growing moss for
pillow stufings.'
can't work up much excitement
about Uncle Obed's pillow stufflngs.
What I want to know is, what has
become of Dom? Has he become
a cartoonist? Or is he still on the
short end of that Jolly rivalry?
