And 90,000 more asked for auditions she couldn't give | Her children’s hour has been the starting place of many of today's stars of radio, screen and stage. “Giving the children a chance is| the best part of my program, she | declared in the pleasing voice which is never heard when the “on the air" sign is up. She never has fewer than 30 children learning the rules of ra- dio for her program. Can’t Always Be Good | per: | gross ACROSS . Tablet Aniwal in< closures Moccasln Palm leaf .

And finally, ex- perimenting with various teams un- til she hits on a combination of talents. | One of her rules for radio suc- | cess with children is to put the | audience on the studio stage and the children down where an au-| dience usually sits. That gives the children a better place to run about while waiting to perform and thereby . lessens the chances of their being nervous. A second rule is to have one baby on the program. A baby is always a good show, she says. A third is her insistence each child have something hard enough to learn for each appear- jance to demand the hour-a-day| | homework which she considers| essential, Proud of Star Pup She is very proud of such star| pupils as Ezra Stone, the Moylan Sisters, Olivio Santoro, the Nich- olas Brothers, Al Bernie and the Junior G-Men — Kenneth Lundy, Charlie Peck and Harris Berger — Blackie Shackner, Paul Bartels and Dorothea Eller. She would like to find a way to prove to parents that some children are one-time performers, Sometimes a child has rehearsed one act long and diligently and in it is a suc- cess. Then he may not have the time or desire to put so much ef- fort into subsequent appearances. Parents should let him enjoy the one success and go on his merry way with other interests, Mrs. Clements says. that| | lending a gem-studded background, DO YOU WANT MOST OF ALL IN A REFRIGERATOR?

The two machine guns bring the, weapon strength of the company lu‘; cta! allotment according to the War Department, Arms for the com- pany now consist of two light ma-| *hine guns, three 60 mm. trenrhl mortars, 40 semi-automatic Garand | M-1 rifles, four Browning automatic ifles and twenty 45 calibre revolv-| ers | | | Weight 31 Pounds As described in a release from| the Adjutant General's office, the rewly arrived light machine guns are Brewning Machine Guns, M-1919 A4 30 calibre, flat trajectory, air cooled, belt fed, recoil operated weapons. It is mounted on a tripod and capable of delivering fire fixed in direction and elevation. The gun weighs 31 pounds; the tripod, approximately 20 pounds; and a chest of ammuni- ticn, (250 rounds) 20.5 pounds. The weapon is capable of mam-l taining the same rate of advance as| riflamen for short periods and may | be considered capable of always giv- ing rifle units close support. Its mo- | bility permits it to accompany a marneuvering rifle platoon on the batilefield, and its low mount per: mits it to be concealed behind very | slight cover. The gun requires very little more cover than for riflemen. Fires 150 shots Per Minute At a slow rate of fire, 40 rounds per minute, it can be fired continu- ously for more than 30 minutes; at a medium rate, 75 rounds per minute, it can be fired continuously slightly | less than 30 minutes; and at a rapid' rate, 1560 rounds per minute, it can be fired continuously for approxi-| mately 15 minutes. It can be fired at a faster rate for a very short period.

It is told in such an unusual way that one is in a constant state of ex- citement and suspense and the un- expected twists provide one emo- tional punch after another. Lloyd Nolan plays the title role, a mysterious character with no past, no friends, no relatives, who chooses to call himself “Joe Mon- day.” Featured with him in the cast are Jean Rogers, Richard Clarke, Onslow Stevens and' Eric Blore. First surprise in the screen play by Robert Ellis, Helen Logan, Les- ter Ziffren and Edward Ettinger occurs’ at the opening of a murder trial early in the story. The mys- terious Joe Monday strides up to the bench and confesses his own guilt to save the innocent man on trial. But there Monday's informa- tive streak stops. He will not say a single word further in explana- of his motive or his own identity. This then is the mystery and it is Charleston The gunboat Charleston will not leave port until Sunday and tomor- row night, in the Elks Ballroom, a ccmplimentary dance will be given in henor of the officers and men of the navy craft. . All men in uniform will be admn.— ted free. That - Juneau w.ll turn out en masse, honoring those on the Charleston, goes without saying.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 7.—While pictures about rallroads usually have been suu.esstul pictures about special trains on special railroads have had tougher going. “The Iron Horse” and “Union Pacific” and “Santa Fe Trail” (which had something though not much to do with rallroading) were box office clean-ups. Yet a picture like “Twentieth Cen- tury,” glorifying a limited, found the tracks bumpy ~— despite its excellence as screwball comedy, despite the presence of John Barrymore and Carole Lombard as passengers. The reason is obvious. The railroads and their building are always outdoor adventures; the luxury trains, whizzing smoothly on schedule as they must to avoid hurting any feelings, must be the background for conversational or drawing room drama in the main. Not much fence-leaping or tree-climbing can be done even in the luxurious drawing-room of a madern train, A special train epic that grossed plenty was Dietrich’s “Shang- hal Express” — but that was a Chinese train and as such could have plenty happen to it, including bandit raids, without of- fending any sensibilities other than the Chinese. The Chinese, of course, are noted for being unruffled by trivialities. Undeterred by these reflections, if he so reflected, Hal Roach is making “Broadway Limited,” a comedy aboard a train, Victor McLaglen, who probably can climb trees or the equivalent even PERCY’S CAFE in a train drawin-room, is in it, along with ZaSu' Pitts, Leonid Kinskey, and a new blonde named Marjorie Woodworth — a local girl who likes ice skating, was photographed for a magazine skating layout, and thus was “discovered” for Roach movies. " They're excited about Marjorie at Roach’s, the produced him- self considering her the sizzlingest find of many years. This is excitment, inasmuch as beth Paulette Goddard and the late Jean Harlow (whom Marjorie resembles somewhat) began on the Roach lot. Marjorie doesn’t seem too excited herself; she’s a pleasanly hearty girl with a sort of I'll-walt-and-see attitude toward this movie business. ‘Which is a good idea — for her and the rest of us, too. The idea seems to be to expose Alice Faye as early as pos- sible in her pictures. In “Tin Pan Allcy" her first scene had her in a fetching hula outfit; in “The Great American Broad- cast” her oponer will have her clad in a bath towel. This picture, by the way, will add another to the cycle of glorified inventions, taking up radio from its beginnings. This leaves only television unexplored by a Hollywood which has sat- isfactorily developed the telephone (Bell), the phonograph and electric light (Edison), the overland telegraph (“Western Union) and its own progress (' “Hollywood Parade”).
