E. BUTTERFIELD ' (A. P. Radio Editor) NEW YORK, July 21.—Rudy Val- lee has revealed his idea of femi- nine beauty through the girl he has taken as his wife. J She is not a blonde, which gen- tlemen are said to prefer, but a pronounced brunet. Tall and slen- ‘der the top of her head is Justi |level with Rudy's eyes, and she! has flashing black eyes, together with very dark hair, and is of the so-called “feminine’ type. | Her name, now familiar to news- | paper readers, was Fay Webb and‘ her career was the stage and the | movies. Incidentally, Fay ‘Webb was the name under which she was | christened by her parents in Santa | Monica, Cal. But now that she is Mrs. Eudy Vallee, wife of the young man who came from college to introduce a| different type of singing and m-‘ chestra conducting to radio, her as- pirations to a career behind the footlights and movie cameras are to, be forgotten. | Her sole purpose in life now is, to be centered in her wifely duties, f |which are to include the manngc- ment of the $10,000 a year aparc- ment in New York, where they will| live for some time because of con- | tracts that will hold the husband | in the metropolis, The romance of Rudy and Fay covered mnearly two years. | feel they are ideally suited. \ | Rudy, in speaking about his bride, sald that while she might be of “the theatrical type, she is a home girl and myideal.” | “She can sew,” he said, “and makes many of her own clothes.; She can cook, too, but I never have had an opportunity for a demon- startion yet. “Our marriage was not a sudden | move. We have known for a long| time when the date would be. “Mrs. Vallee is a good pianist and loves music. She can play ‘Rhapsody in Blue.' She likes golf.” Fay isn't going to be jealous of Rudy’s feminine admirers, she de- clares. “To me Rudy is Just like anj ordinary man. I never have been jealous and I'm never going to be,” she says. | But to Rudy the fact that he was to leave bachelorhood caused him to ponder considerably over the effect it might have upon his audiences. “I thought over that situation seriously, and finally came to the conclusion,” he declared, “that the support of ‘our fans' was not en- tirely due to my eligibility as a| bachelor. | “I' do not beliéve there will be| any falling off in their interest. That interest all depends upon the material one gives them in the way of entertainment.” Getting back to the subject now closest to his heart, Rudy did not hesitate to say “we are very happy togeth Mrs. Vallee's stage life has been devoted to dancing. She doesn't sing.

The planners hope to find new ources of energy, a phase in which hey admit Soviet Russia hereto- fore has lagged. “One of the fundamental ques- fons of the second Five Year Plan s that of mineral raw materials as « base for the development of in- lustry,” said Academician Fersman, nember of the commission for pre- »aring the plan. “This raw material occupies a ow place in our economic life since ts preparation for exploitation is far from satisfactory. We must find new beds of ore, salts and mon- metallic minerals like coal, petro- ‘eum and lime “The laws of economic geography must give us the answer as to where our industrial centers must be located. “Furthermore, we must find cheaper electro-induction materials. “The establishment of new sources of energy during the next five year period will mean a com- plete change in ideas about useful minerals. What we do not consider valuable now in relation to cheaper power may suddenly become the base for a whole line of new prod- ucts.” — WILLIAMS RETURNS M. D.
