The lanky, celebrated screen yer performed in practically | eve kind of role listed in the books, although his more recent fame as a comedian may have ob- scured his talents in other fields. Auer, who currently is appear- ing with Hugh Herbert in the Uni- versal comedy, “Don’t Get Person- al,” at the Capitol Theatre, made his debut in the movies as a vil- lain, and as a villain he remained for several years. His performance in an exagger- ated wacky role in “My Man God- frey” firmly established Auer as one of the screen’s top-flight come- dians, and he has remained secure- ly in this niche ever since. A native of Russia, Auer fled to Italy during the revolution be- cause his parents were White Rus- sians. From Italy he was brought a boy to New York by his grandfather, Leopold Auer, the celebrated violinist. Mischa attend- ed school in New York and studied in dramatic classes there, ward going on the stage. pl as Capt. T. J. Dyck, officer charge here, said today that in the regular mending service of the Red Shield sewing group, the | sleeves of 103 field jackets have | been shortened, and during the month of September the Red Shield group has handled 191 articles, an average of 38 pieces a week. A total of 93 women attended | the sewing group meetings during the® month, putting in an average of six hours a week per person or | 468 hours of labor.

ARMY-NAVY GAME TO BE EXCLUSIVE Will Be PIa—y;& in Annap- olis-Only Residents May Attend WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. — One of the super spectacles of football, the Army-Navy game, was whittled down to small town proportions when President Roosevelt decided that it will be played at Annapo- lis instead of Philadelphia. Furthermore, he directed, residents of Annapolis can tickets so that outsiders will wear their tires out or burn gasoline in getting to the game. Not even the Army Cadet Corps men are going to be allowed to see the game. £ only get | not up PAGE THREE IMUSIC, LAUGHTER SHARE TWENTIETH CENTURY S(REENi ”t” NTURY Bing Crosby, Mary Martin In ""Birth of the Blues” Drawing Crowds The happiest news to report the local film front at this ment is that Paramount’s of the Blues” is now at the Century Theatre, and that one of the finest, most ing treasures of jazz music laughs ever to hit the screen night's audience loved pletely.

Each gives a grand performance. Song after song, laugh after laugh is presented with hardly a let-up all through the picture. The melody just pours forth in a joy- ous, delightful stream, with 15 songs in all pitched out, which is| a record for film musical numbers| by the way. It's a parade of jive the likes of which we have never before heard. The Crosby and Mar- tin larnyxes seemed to be inspired for the occasion. In the cavalcade of blues heard are those great favorites, “St. Louis Blues,” “Memphis Blues,” “St James Infirmary Blues,” Bvx(h of the Blues,” and also several other enduring numbers, played in Dixie- land jazz style.
