CALE NDAR: STRAND THEATER Most screen players are noto- riously supegstitious but it remain- ed for one Columbia company to admit the greatest collection of un- orthodox fetishes and good luck charms ever heard of on the Hol- lywood front. The company is headed by Nancy Carroll and John Boles, in “Child of Manhattan” showing to- night at the Strand Theater. Miss Carroll, for example, would never think of starting a picture without daubing on a bit of powder from a worn and torn old powder- puff, the one she used, to be exact, during her first days as a dancer in “The Passing Show of 1923.” John Boles insists upon going through rehearsals wearing an old, frayed and patched flannel jacket, a bit of wearing apparel he picked up while studying voice abroad. In the wallet of Tyler Brooke, who plays the role of a fashionable modiste in “Child of Manhattan” is an old Chinese coin which was presented to him many years ago by a fellow-player and which is with Brooke in every scene. Clara Blandick and Jane Dar- well, veterans. of many _ years’ standing, always make a point of peaking to the property man be- fore going into a scene, professing that this brings them good luck, while the two youngsters of the cast, Betty Grable and Betty Ken- dall, make a practice of crossing their fingers as they approach the microphones. Even Eddie Buzzell, ‘whose di- rectorial effort on “Child of Man- {hattan” is his third for Columbia, wears a yellow slip-on -sweater while putting the players through their paces. That’s good luck for him, he says., J. SCOTT TALKS ON ‘BABY BONDS’ (Continued fram Page One) it is issued in the denomination of $1. On the back are 56 spaces.

FORUM Pevcccccccccce CORRECTION OF ERROR Editor The Citizen: Will you extend your already abundant hospitality to me and allow me space to correct an er- ror in my communication of Feb- ruary 8. This is NOT due to that often mentioned “mistake by the printer,” but it is my blunder, due to hurried and careless writing. I wrote, “Not less was the ef- in ficient aid and comfort extended} by Ludlum, Sealy and McClenahan} who spoke and drove with offi authority, ete.” My correction is that these gentlemen did not act} “officially” but simply in their capacity as citizens of Key West and good neighbors, made the; action of Key West unanimous by acting as individuals and helped us out in their spare time. I will appreciate it if you will allow me to make this correction. Sincerely, STEPHEN C. SINGLETON.
