By HARRISON CARKOLL Copyright, I*3?. King Fraturr. Syndicate, lee. HOLLYWOOD—ShorffIy before pneumonia cut short her career, Helen Burgess played in a picture called "King of the Gamblers” and enacted a death scene that brought tears to the eyes of players on the set. One of these, Fay Holden, remarked to the actress on the realism of her dissembling. “I know death,” enigmatically replied the young player. "I have spent many uncomfortable hours in the last few weeks thinking of the word.” Superstitious Hollywood will interpret this as premonition. After many trips to and from Chicago, the blueprints for Ann Sothern’s and Roger Pryor’s home finally have met with the approval of both. Building will start in the | near future, but Pryor .-nay not see the house until it is finished. Maybe It’s a new fan racket. Everywhere Clark Gable goes . . . in restaurants and stores, he is called to the telephone. He doesn't know the people on the line and wonders how they knew where to call. . . . Thinks they must follow him and inen hurry to a nearby telephone. Hollywood's No. 1 animal lover is Helen Broderick. The R-K-O actress jumped fully clothed into her swimming pool to rescue a stray kitten which had fallen in.... Result, the kitten got a home and Helen was an hour and a half late to a party in her honor. Answering Your Questions! Irving Ijiw. Hollywood: Edward. Prince of Wales, once appeared in a charity picture to help ex-service men. The late King George was seen in “The Royal Cavalcade”, a collection of newsreel shots strung to roll call. A splendid musical program was I given: Richard Buckley and Dorj othy Gerlber, piano so’os and a duet; Alice Yoet, clarinet and saxaphone eolos; Marjorie Miller, two accordian numbers, accompanied at the piano by Albert Sellemeyer. ■ Games were then enjoyed and j prizes were awarded to Mrs. T. L. Becker. Mrs. Henry Neireiter and Miss Christine Borne. Mns. Minnie Spuller of San Diego, Cal., was a gueet at the meeting. Mrs. Sipuller, who was formerly a member of the claee, was presented with a beauti- ' ful corsage. Small tables were arranged for serving, centered with bouquets of eweet peas and foreythia. A delii clous one course luncheon was served by the hostesses, Mr®. Fred Heu--1 er, Mrs. Tilman Gerber, Mrs. Roy Moser. Mrs. David Adams and Mise j Lulu Gerber. — Adams County Memorial Hospital I Admitted last night: Mrs. Bort ' R. Wise, Ohio City. OhioDismissed today Mrs. Everett Laymann, Hartford City.

WORLD’S NEWEST BIG SHOW TO BE NEAR HERE

The world's largest circus, traveling on three trains of double- I length steel railroad cars, with I I.OSO people, 30 elephants, 812 j menagerie animals and 500 horses will exhibit in Fort Wayne, on Thursday, May 6. and throughout this section plans are perfecting for the attendance of every man, woman and child-—so it seems—at one of the performances. Everybody wishes to see the Cole Bros.-Clyde Beatty Circus this year, which returned early in 1935 from a triumphal five year tour of Europe, and it is a foregone conclusion that the world's largest tent, seating 10,000 persons, will be filled to the last chair afternoon and night. Six rings and stages and the hippo- j drome track, to say nothing of the . i vast aerial maze for the earth’s; foremost arenic talent—4oo ackj nowledged kings and queens of daring, grace, skill and Incredible i ; agility. Sixty clowns will project i ten times that number of mirth waves. Countless new foreign | features and Innovations new to j America are introduced on the gi-. gantic program of the world's greatest amusement institution. Clyde Beatty's gigantic trained animal exhibition will be presented in the main performance. Ken Maynard, the screen’s greatest Western star, will personally be seen at every performance. Maynard has starred in 87 I pictures produced at the major studios in Hollywood. He is by far the highest priced star ever to be seen with a circus. Appearing in his Wild West show this season will be scores of champion cow boys and cow girls, Indians and Cossacks. One of the largest, finest and costliest street parades will be seen at 11 a. m. Hundreds of horses, five herds of elephants and two caravans of camels from the great desert will be seen. In

together for showing during juouee year. Neither, of course, received any reward. When the royal family ie even advertised as appearing at a premiere in England, the management ie expected to turn over the entire receipts to charity. Freddie Bartholomew’s grandparents sail for England on the Berengaria, the same ship that brought Freddie to this country and to fame in the movies. The old folks will stay the summer out at Warminster, then sell their property and return to Hollywood to make their permanent home. When Jean Arthur finished wrecking an office in "Easy Living", there was one big vase left, i “I don't like that either,” she said and, smashed it against the wall. When an outraged property man protested that the vase was no breakaway but really valuable, the star said: "All right. I’ll pay” The whim cost her *54.50. Chatter. . . . Rosalind Russell's house was just put up for sale. Sightseers so far outnumbered genuine prospects that the star gave up in disgust, went to Del Monte, leaving her servants to bear the brunt of the curious. . . . Another sign of spring. Fay Wray has rented her Beverly Hills place to the John McCormicks and has leased the Dick Barthelmess house at Malibu. . ... At the Victor Hugo were Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. They are a constant twosome around the late spots. . . . Raoul Walsh smokes roll-your-own cigarets. .. . The past will out. Rosalind Marquis used to be a girl life guard at a Chicago public pool. She talks of entering the women's championship swimming events in September. . . . And chilk up a vote for Preston Foster as Rhett Butler. Two congressmen from his home state, New Jersey, have written to David Selznlck urging that the R-K-O actor be put in the role. ARRIVALS ; » Mr. and Mns. Kenneth Runyon, 1 437 South first street, are the par • ents of a baby boy born at the Ad- > ams county memorial hospital at 10:56 o’clock this morning. The i baby weighed seven pounds and I 101-4 ounce® at birth and has not . been named. jl ° ~ Turtle Disrupts Sorority l | Berkeley.
