STALIN GAN " FIK THINGS; GIVES PROOF Displays Influence in Small Things MOSCOW, Jan. 6.—Constantine Sergi Stanislavsky, 68-year-old di- rector of the Moscow Art theatre, has at last learned that Joseph Stalin, Russia’s “man of steel,” has It Subordinate Moscow officials, who didn’t know Stanislavsky's stand- |ing, listed him in a survey of i housing shortage as occupying more |dwelling space than the law al- lowed. They ordered him to va- cate two of his rooms. The theatre director phoned the Kremlin and asked for “someone in authority.” A strange voice an- swered. “I listen.” “Stanislavsky speaks—" the call- er began. “Greetings, Serioja (Dear little Sergi),” the voice interrupted. “What can I do for you?” “Who is it that calls me dy my intimate name? I must know you but I don't recognize you rvoice,” responded Stanislavsky. “Well, if you really want to know, my name is Stalin.” “And the first name?” “Joseph.” “Well, Joseph, I must have heard of you but I don’t remember who you are. I want to ask a favor. Don't let them take away my two rooms. I shan't be able to do my work properly without them.” Stalin asked for details, said: “Don’t worry, Serioja, everything will be attended to as you wish.” then islavsky, “the red director they have given me is no good. He has is otherwise disorganizing my work in the theatre.” “Red directors” are attached to all theatres by the communist party to look after matters of policy and ideology. “Thank you for ‘telling em, Serioja,” Stalin rejoined. “We will fix that also.” Next day, the Moscow soviet withdrew its room order with an apology and that evening Stanis- at the theatre. ———————— AMERICAN LEGIONSMEETING Regular meeting of the Alford John Bradford Post Number 4 will be held in the Dugout Thursday quested to be present. —adv. LUMP NUT. more satisfaction and Stick to known K T T T T e e T L T o ke discharged my elderly servant andj By JOHN W. STAHR CHICAGO, Jan. 6—The Phila- delphia Athletics may be badly in need of new blood, as many obser- vers claimed after the defeat of the veteran machine in the world’s series with the St. Louis Cardinals, but from the list of rookies for the 1932 season compiled by the Ameri- can league, it appears Connie Mack isn't of that opinion. Though the Macks’ present roster for the 1932 new season shows 11 new names, none of the newcomers figures to oust a regular. On the other hand, the New York Yan- kees, the club Mack figures will give his American league champi- ons the toughest fight next year, will look over 22 men, several of whom are expected to see a lot of action. The Detroit Tigers, with Bucky Harris trying desperately to find a combination of players capable of lifting the club from the second division stand next to the Yankees in the acquisition of new men in the search for added strength. Twenty-two new-comes will answer the Tigers' roll-call next spring. Other Line-ups St. Louis and Boston have only five and eight new men, while Cleveland has 17, Washington 14 and Chicago 15. Material for bolstering a badly crumpled infield is available, on paper, for Manager Joe McCarthy, of the Yanks. Jack Slalzgaver, rated the best infielder in the Am- erican association with St Paul last summer, is in line for Tony Lazzer’s second base job. Frank Crosetti from San Fran- cisco is figured on to oust Joey Sewell from third, and Eddie Far- rell, former University of Pennsyl- vania star, is being recalled ‘from Los Angeles.

Use of herring ‘as dertilizer is under investigation by the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce, many members of which contend that By HARRISON CARROLL HOLLYWOOD, Cal—Nowhere in the country is the Culbertson- Lenz bridge feud followed more closely than in Hollywood. The film stars have gone in feverishly for contract bridge, and several expert players have developed. The consensus of opinions that Frances (Ring) Meighan is perhaps the best woman player, though Bebe Danfels, Diana Fitzmaurice and Kay Francis have high rating. Bebe used to be one of the auc- tion sharks. She often sat in on| games with Joseph Schenck, Sam- uel Goldwyn and other highstake players. Some say that Buster Keaton is the best of the men. He has a marvelous card sense, and excels at all games. Bridge is the general favorite all over the colony, although Harold Lloyd perfers backgammon, and Uncle Carl Laemmle sticks to pinochle. When Al Jolson was out here, he used to play hearts by the hour. It is no unusal thing, when there is an M. G. M. preview at San Bernardino, for executives to charter a ([Pacific Electric car, board it near the studio and play bridge all the way. Irving Thal- berg is a crack player. Frequently, Ralph Graves and Jack Conway sit in on these games. Bridge players, too, were the Four Marx Brothers. They also had their own kibitzer-~Eddie Can- tor. They Bid High It was inevitable that Culbert- son and Lenz would receive a proposition to make pictures. Last ‘week, the Wampas (motion picture publicity men) offered to sponsor them in @& series of 12 shorts. Living up to their reputations as aggressive bidders, Mr. Culbertson and Mr. Lenz are said to have countered with the not too modest request for $120,000 guarantee and a percentage of the profits. The ‘Wampas passed.

L WEAR COATEE FOR EVENINE, PARIS RULES By DIANA MERWIN (Associated Press Fashion Editor) PARIS, Jan. 6.—A concise coa- tee is the wrap to wear o'nights!” Paris says in its latest edict for evening chic. Except at the opera and formal balls almost every smart evening gown is accompanied by one of the jaunty waistline wraps. Feathers, fur, velvet and velours are used to fashion the Ilittle coatees which fashionable women have adopted as a contribution to chic and a protection against cool winds. ‘The Chanticleer cape of feathers is attracting the most attention. In a waistline design made entirelyof black or white feathers it forms a flattering bit of fluff when milady tosses it about her shoulders and ties it at the throat with a bow of marabout. Another novelty is the one-sleeve coatee. It is designed with one eighteen inch wide sleeve banded with fur at the wrist attached to a long wide scarf which is wrapped about the waist and opposite shoul- der. Black satin embroidered in silver and banded in silver fox, and crim- son, gold and green lame trimmed in sable are among the favorite combinations. The little fur coachman’s cape is a third innovation. Made of erm- ine, sable or mink in a design just long enough to cover the should- ers, it is a smart accompaniment to the velvet evening frocks which are so much in vogue this winter. Velvet coatees are legion. Most of them are straight little jackets with soft wide sleeves, their colors as varied as the contents of a jewal box. Amethyst purple velvet coatees are worn with pale grey gowns rose velvet with black silk jersey, emerald green velvet with white satin, —— e — BOARD SENDS FOUR WARDS TO DOUGLAS Four wards of the Board of Children’s Guardians were today transferred from Miss Minnie Field's care to the Children’s Home on Douglas Island, it was an- nounced by United States Marshal Albert White, a member of the Board.
