While Nelson Eddy's voice moans and booms a Russian folk song from an off-stage record, Director Reinhold Schunzel points the camera at one of its loveliest subjects, recording the cmotions evoked by that song. It is a scene in “Balailaika,” and the girl is Ilona Massey, Eddy's co-star. » “Papa” Schunzel spends time on these close-ups. They wil) tell how the music plays over the sensitive, beautiful face, in the wide, grey-blue eyes over the slightly parted lips. I wonder if they will also tell the close-up story of Ilona Massey, a fairy tale come true. ‘Two years she has been here, working hard. Hours daily, she has trained rigorously Two hours with Lillian Burns, the diction and drama coach; two hours with voice; sessions in English in- struction; ' sessions with a masseuse; sessions in picture theatres, hearing English as the screen speaks it; light lunches, often when she’s hungry. She thinks it's nothing. Once, in Budapest where she was born, she worked from 7 to 6 as a seamstress’s apprentice. Once, as a child there, she went hungry and lonely. Her father came back from the war broken in body and spirit; her mother worked all day to support the family. Ilona Hajmassy went to school hungry, came home to the one-room apartment, which was dark and dreary, and played alone. There was never food enough. It is hard to be- lieve now, but she says her schoolmates called her ‘“homely Tlus.” Bright spot in this childhood was her trip to Holland. Kind- ly Dutch farmers undertook the care of many Hungarian child unfortunates. Tlona was one of those selected. A couple of years later she returned, flesh on her bones again, color in her cheeks. She had to work. At 14, she became apprentice in the dress establishment. With tips for delivering gowns, she earned as o - 3. the tide rolling toward Douglas The Yankees yesterday tied one| mpe genning win dumped the| 7 : | 66 99 of the modern major league marks 1 ypcer out of first place and Come and Get It Has shores last evening at Firemen's night in the first game of the im- |and almost tied another as they ..

Four singles in a row put, the game away for Douglas in the third ses- sion, accounting for two and almost three runs.

Coast Guarder So-| gaard mixed up a fast ball with a submarine hook to let the Red Clads down with two scattered sin- gles in the final three frames. SCORE BY INNINGS Team .

J CINCINNATI, July 27.—More and more pennant-minded as the sea- son progresses, the Cincinnati Reds’ High Command have “gone to the mevies” to detect what apparently has been Johnny Vander Meer’s major pitching weakness. And— they think they've found it. Ngn-plussed by wne young fire- baller’s too-frequent .hairs’breath Coach Hank Gowdy set up a movie camera along the first-base line to record Vandy's port-side delivery. Yards of film were used. Devel- oped, they showed that the pitcher let go of the ball at a moment when his swing was at its greatest arc—in other words, too far out of line with the plate. “He should let loose of the ball more ‘in front'” explained Mec- Kechnie. The young Dutchman was amen- able and since has spent hours al- most behind closed doors under the tutelage of Coach Jimmy Wil- son. % The Reds, who will need the best that Johnny can offer if they are to hit the September jackpot, be- lieve he will come through. Their faith is the more certain because even in games he has lost, he has | Athletics. i Six-Hit Pitching | Detroit made the most of half a July 27—Fred Henning vs. Fed- erals. | July 28—Truckers vs. Columbln. dozen hits yesterday and defeated Lumber.

Alraedy she was consumed by the desire to sing, to be an actress. She saved from her pittance to pay for voice lessons; often her food money and her carfare went into the music fund. A year later, on her own, she asked for and got a job in the chorus of Budapest's leading opera house. No- body thought she could sing; they all told her to try for dancing. She kept on singing, taking lessons. She went to Vienna. There she had better luck. Minor roles in one of the city's opera houses, and understudying the leading lady, brought her oppor- tunity. The leading lady became ill, permitting Ilona to sing “La Tosca” in her place. She was liked ,although criticized for inexperience. She had “arrived.” She was still making small money, still sending some home; she was still, although a star, not eating too' regularly. She wanted to come to Hollywood. She went to K Metro's Vienna manager; all he ¢ould do was take her photograph, marked “Sing- er” Talent hunter Bob Ritchie and executive Benny Thau arrived, became interested. They heard Ilona sing ,offered her $50 a week. Take it or leave it—and she left it. From London they wired an offer of $350. Ilona packed. Two days after unpacking in Hollywood, she was in “Rosalie,” sing- ing triumphantly. (She’s had a ralse since) She could speak ' no English, memorizeéd her lines parrot-fashion. The ensuing two years have been spent in preparation for “Balailalka.” Shedding 12 pounds was part of her stint. She is serene, intelligent, unself-conscious beauty. And that means true beauty. With a glorious voice besides, she is on the slate for stardom. BANK /' IT SOLVES Your Banking PROBLEMS Our system of Banking by Mail makes it practical for you to deposit here, wherever you live.
