Thanks to the winner of the name contest, Mrs. B. P, Neily, Jr., Paul Brown and His Islanders have arranged as a theme song, “I'm Drifting Back to Dreamland.” They will also use the old waltz favorite, “Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland.” And now Mr. Pusich, owner, anxiously awaits the finishing touches to the new place, “Dream- land,” so he can switch on all the lights, start up the music, and bid everybody welcome to Douglas and “Dreamland.” —o AMERICAN LEGION Meets tonight —'8 o'cloék sharp. ,.

That's the incredible parallel Broadway draws between the death of honey-haired Evelyn Hoey and the death three years ago of Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to tobacco millions. The Reynolds’ tragedy occurred { behind the drawn screens of bedroom in the fabulous Reynolds estate in North Carolina after 2 drinking party downstairs. Miss Hoey died in an upstairs . bedroom of the Pennsylvania estate of Henry H. Rogers, jr., son of the late oil millionaire. Witnesses said it followed an evening of drinking Both Melanchoiy | Both died of pistol bullets. | At the time of his death, Rey- nolds was said to have fallen into a state of melancholy. The death of Miss Hoey, whose forte was sing- ing torch songs, also climaxed what witnesses described as a period of | emotional unrest. Servants of Rog- |ers told authorities the singer re- peatedly had stated a desire to re- turn to her apartment in Manhat- { tan. Finally, she is said to have at- | tempted to borrow $5 from the | Rogers’ chauffeur, thus infuriating the young engineer. Questions Askegd Miss Hoey had known Rogers about three years, her parents said. | 8he had described him to her fa- | ther, who lives in St. Louis, as a | “melancholy, jealous friend.” After Reynolds’ death his wife, | Libby Holman, “the Cinderella girl Reynolds’ best friend, were charged with murder but won acquittals be- fore a Winston-Salem, N.

She went to London and won a ‘eading role in the musical comedy Good News."” Later, in Paris, Cole Porter, the composer, heard her sing in a night club. Intrigued by the “torch” jualities of her singing, Porter in- ijuced her to return to New York, where he placed her in an impor- ant role of his musical comedy hit, Fifty Million Frenchmen.” Anoth- or member of that company was Betty Compton, now the wife of formér Mayor James J. Walker. Songs that were successfully in- troduced by the Minneapolis girl were “Unlucky in Gambling,” “I Want a Primitive Man,” “April in Paris,” and “What Is This Thing Called Love.” She appeared thereafter in a number of musicals but “Fifty Mil- lion Frenchmen” was her greatest hit. Recently she had devoted her time to radio and night club work. Last winter, Libby Holman re- turned to the Broadway she had known so well in “Revenge With Music,” a musical hit. This sum- mer she appeared in summer pre- sentations at Ogunquit, Maine. e R e A LAS! Daily at 10:00 a.m. abhd 2: p.m. Kelly Blake’s SPECIAL DE- | LIVERY—Phone 442. adv. | .
