These two playgrounds of exhausted stars, well-to-do Towans fed up with the uneventful life of Los Angeles, and oil and real estate barons of a converted deserf, were once a desert, to They formed a small pary only cf the thousands of acres which were granted to the great grandfather of Leo Carrillio, star of “Homicide Squad,” playing for the last times tonight at the Capi- ytol theatre. This great grandfather was an Ttalian, Senor Juan Vandini, a fam- ous navigator. Grant Of Land For his exploits he was given a grant to all of that territory in Nerthern Mexico which includes the famous sporting paradises. But land is often an embarrass- ment. As the Carrillo family, into which Vandini married, accustomed 2lf to modern rather than seig- nioral methods of life, it gradually divested itself of these vast acres. Carrillo, though he has pr er respect for the Hispano-Cali-{ fornia aristocracy from which sprang, has no regrets for the I of Tia Juana or Agua Caliente. | Enjoying Life On Yacht At this noment he can look with equanimity ~across the gulf of Southern California to his former ducal domain. He is on Henry Do- heny's yacht, enjoying a vacation |after making two Universal pic- tures. This story of the police from the | standpoint of the police by Henry LaCossitt, police reporter, has a supporting cast which includes ] Mary Brian, Russell Gleason, Noah Beery, J. ‘Carroll Naish and Walter § Percival. George Melford directed. An added attraction on tonight's| program will be “That Rascal,” starring Harry Barris. For theatregores whose taste in movies has become a trifle jaded, there is a genuine treat in store in | this comedy.

HARRIS (Manager Detroit Tigers) (BUCKY) PALC ALTO, ‘Cal, March 16— At the start of every new baseball | season every manager has his eye | on the gcal of winning the pen- | nant. T include myself among those seeking this happy cbjective, I refuse to predict where Detroit | will finish at the close of the 1932 | American league season. Past performances indicate the Athletics, Yankees and Senators as the main contenders for the pen- | inant. I am hoping for a complete iupset with Detroit profiting not a | Llittle. Injuries during the past season fhurt us badly, especially so in the case of Charley Gehringer, Our our case, his Giants who had atough break when Lindstrom was lost. Players of the type of Gehringer and Lind- strom are hard to replace. Looks To Rookies ‘We have pretty good prospects. We have a number of promising new men who will try out for regu- lar p ions. However some flow- ers blossom forth early in the spring, only to wither before mid- summer. The same thing applies to a lot of so-called rookies. Na- turally T am hoping some of our youngsters will develop rather rapidly and if such be the case we should offer stiff competition. I may go so far as to say that for the time being only three men stand out as being sure of their jobs. They are Gehringer at sec- ond, Jonathon Stone in the out- field and Bill Rogell at shortstop. The rest of the positions are wide open. Ken Strong, the former football star who had a fine record last year with Toronto; Joyner White, from Beaumont, and Bill Lawrence from Seattle, are available for out- field duty. Inside Job Men The candidates for infield jobs include Marvin Owen, who received a trial after coming up from Tor- '{onto last season; Bill Rhiel, from Portland; Heinie Schuble, up again frem Beaumont; Mark Koenig, the former Yankee, and Ray Fritz, an- other Beaumont product. Of course there is also Dale Alexander, the big first baseman. ‘The pitching staff is fairly good with Vic Sorrell, George Uhle, Earl Whitehill, Tom Bridges, Whit Wyatt, Herring and Hogsett asthe most experienced men. Marrow, ‘Hamlin and Goldstein, {rom Beau- mont, Sewell from Raleigh, Collier from Evansville and Page from Seattle will be looked over. The catching staff consists of Ruel, De- sautels, Hayworth, Susce and Wise, the latter from Beaumont. R ] Ccpenhagen was right!

Crusoe.” The day before he sailed for | Tahiti, Doug was describing the | story to a small group in his dres- sing-room at United Artists. Briefly, the plot calls for Doug's character to leave a yacht, accom- panied only by a small dog, and through exercise of ingenuity fo support life on a desert island. Paralleling the Crusoe legend, there’s a savage, who will be called “Friday the Thirteenth.” The whole adventure will filmed in a spirit of farce and slapstick comedy. The title of the | picture, in the same vein, will he “The Tropical Knight.” Hollywood doesn't expect mous wanderer to Treturn two or three months.

H. Watson and D. T. Skiles get after him with their ski-plane? Armed . with = shotguns, young men patrol the snow-cov- ered Nebraska prairies in search of coyotes, valuable for their pelts as well as for bounties. ‘They swoop down on their prey, giving it “both barrels,” and are able, by virtue of skis attached to their landing-gear, to land, load the carcass in the plane, and za on with the hunt. In three days of this sort of hunt- ing in sub-zero weather they bagget 12 pelts in a couple of hours fly- ing each day. They receive an average of $6 each for the pelts. ——— iy JERUSALEM HAS DROUGHT JERUSALEM — Drought has brought so serious a° water short- age that the municipal council an- nounces water will hot be available Eases Work for Hunters! these | ALEX PANTAGES IS TO CONTROL THEATRE STRING {Announces Acquisition Soon of Many Show louses—Movies HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 16— Alexander Pantages announced to- day that within a few months he will assume control of between 200 and 500 theatres in the United Siates.

He thinks' Greta should be allowed to be mysterious in peace. “The Garbo ‘myth,” writes Mr. Gresham, “is accepted with more fervor, perhaps, than Garbo her- self. Certainly were Miss Garbo to become suddenly gregarious and associate herself with all the ballyhoo that surrounds the other stellar lights of Hollywood, her throne would be in the greatest danger if it did not actually topple from its high pinnacle.” Bravo! But is Mr. Gresham right when he says: “The Ameri- can people are fair-minded and are willing to grant privacy to any famed personage who seeks it?” It would hardly seem s0. ‘What They're Doing * They tell me that Randolph Scott, Lupe Velez's current flame, is to play a part in the new George Arliss picture at Warners.
