always amusing to visit because nobody appears to be taking the movies seriously. She Is working at Paramount now in a film called "True Confession”. Fred Mac Murray is playing opposite her and Wesley Ruggles is directing. Today they are shooting a closeup in a jail cell. Director Ruggles Is sitting with his feet propped on the wash basin and Carole and Fred are rehearsing dialogue—between shrieks of laughter. The usual gags are visible around the set. Claude Binyon, the scenarist, has been presented with a wooden affair that looks like a Chic Sale. It carries a sign: "Binyon’s Comer”. Fred Mac Murray’s dressing room consists only of a davenport, a makeup table and a floor lamp. It looks as if they are having a picnic instead of making one of Paramount's important new releases. But the records show that the picture is two days ahead of schedule. It proves what we always have contended—that the air of mysterious creation with which some directors surround their work Is just a lot of hocus pocus. The Intimate night club certainly was not invented In Hollywood. For the picture, "Second Honeymoon", Director Walter Lang is shooting a scene in a glittery room about half a

block long. AU the extras are in evening dress and suave waiters move to and fro among them. At one table sit Loretta ! Young, Tyrone Power, Lyle . Talbot, Claire Trevor and J. Edward Bromberg.

Though the day is one of the hottest of the summer, and the lights are bearing down, they are immaculately dressed too. They are drinking movie champagne, which is ginger ale, and they act very gay. Like the room, it is all so different from the real thing. There, | you drink real champagne and act very bored. ■

CHICAGO OPENS I' SCHOOLS TODAY Ends Three-Weeks Delay Caused By Fear Os Epidemic Chicago, Sept 27— (U.K) — Chicago's public and parochial schodls j classes resumed for 380,000 ele- . mentary pupils today after a three-1 weeks delay caused-by the threat i of an infantile paralysis epidemic Health authorities said danger- | of an epidemic among pupils of elementary school age had passed Dr. Herman Bundesen, president of the board of health, rescinded his order of Aug. 21, which shut <iown all schools to avoid spread | of the infantile paralysis outbreak - among children. Schools har been j scheduled to open for the fall term Sept. 7. I High schools and junior colleges were reopened Sept. 16. Today's order affects all the rest except 70,060 first grade and kindergarten pupils. Dr. Bundesen said the younger children are most susceptible to the disease, and said he could not predict when It would lie safe for them to return to classes. Bundesen's order automatically lifted the ban of theaters which turned away children under 16 during the epidemic thraet. During the delayed period, education officials enlisted the aid of radio stations and newspapers to publish daily lessions. and asked ! parents to see that children learn- | ed that way the lessons which they missed and could not make up | later. 0 * ' | gPERSONAUS Miss Fanny Hite and niece.

CITY SCHOOL BOARD (COMTTNUJD FTton FAQ* nWF> to the project. In view of the Increase In the* city's taxable valuation this year and the fact that the bonded Indebtedness of the school city Is less than It was six months ago. the school Inin rd will be able io raise approximately $90,000 through a bond Issue, It was figured. The government's formal offer of a grant came as a pleasant surprise to school officials and citizens in general today, for it was believed that the killing of the PWA by President Roosevelt last week meant that no additional grants would be made. Evidently the president approved all grants that tentatively had been made. Tentative approval of the school hoard's grant was made by the PWA several months ago, but the board did not receive the formal offer. Last week when President Roosevelt announced that the PWA would not finance any more local projects, it was believed Decatur's petition was side-tracked with other requests. Mr. Logan's Letter The letter from Mr. Ixigan to Mr. Fuhrman reads: "Dear Sir: "Enclosed Is an offer by the United States of America to aid in financing the construction of the above project by making a grant. There are also enclosed: “(1) Two conformed copies of such offer: (2) Three copies of , terms and conditions; (3> An acI ceptance record memorandum. "Particular attention is directed to the starting and completion dates set forth in the offer. By the acceptance of the offer the applicant covenants to observe these dates Your attention is also callI ed to the demolition of these existing schools upon completion of this project, also that the project should be designed and constructed so as to provide all practicable fire protection. “The terms and conditions are part of the government's offer and should be carefully read by your governing body before the offer is accepted. "It should be made clear to your governing body prior to acceptance of the offer, that the amount of I the grant contained therein cannot be increased and that no application for such an increase will be entertained Furthermore, it should be clearly understood by your governing body that, even though provided for in your estimate of cost, no portion of the grant can be paid on costs or . charges of a continuing nature not I incurred specifically for the project and which would under ordit nary circumstances be inet from . the applicant’s own funds All funds necessary to cover the cost of a compelte project, useful and t adequate for the intended purpose, i inexcess of the amount of the grant, must be provided by the applicant. It is, therefore, suggested , that immediately upon the receipt hereof, you instruct your qrchi- [ tect to review carefully the latest estimate of cost to make certain that it is in conformity with present day prices. If, upon this review. it is found that the project contemplated by the application ! cannot be constructed within the amount of funds made available I by the government, plus such amount as can he made available by the applicant, the design should 1 be revised accordingly. "In making this estimate, preliminary cost, architectural, legal i and administrative expenses, inter- | est, and a reasonable contingency item should be included. If it is j determined that it is impossible to I revise the design of the product so that the estimated cost thereof will be within the amount of the i available funds, the offer should not be accepted. The responsibili ity of assuring itself that It can i construct a complete project. ; useful and adequate for the intended purpose, within the amount of the available funds, rests with the applicant. "It should also be made clear to your governing body that under the terms and conditions to which the offer is subject, the cost of the project upon which the grant is based is determined by the administration. This means in the final analysis that the administrator has the right to determine the items and costs upon which the government will pay a grant. The approval of the application and the making of the allotment therefore does not mean that the estimate of cost submitted by the applicant in its application has been approved. "The enclosed offer must be accepted or rejected within fifteen days of the date thereof. In the event that the proceedings essenj tial to authorize acceptance of the j offer cannot legally be completed within fifteen days, a telegraphic I notice of the Intention of the apj plicant to accept the offer must ’ be made by a proper representa- ' tive or officer to this office. Suggested forms and procedure for ! accepting the offer will be found ; in the accepantce record memorandum. "When forwarding to this office the documents evidencing the acceptance of the offer, they should j he accompanied by the architect's l latest revised estimate of cost on the basts of which the applicant

determined that It could proceed With the project within the amount of funds available. "Immediately upon the acceptance of the offer, your architect should be instructed to communicate with this office with respect to the preparation of final plans and specifications and the advertisement for bids. "Prompt acknowledgement of this letter and enclosure is requested. If anything is not clear or if any difficulties arise, please comtnunicte with us at once." On Central Site The school board proposes to build the new building on the Central school site, between Third and Fourth streets, facing Jefferson street. The board's first intention was to build a junior-sonior high school building, housnlg the seventh and eighth grades, the four years of high school, domestic science and manual training departments. Final plans have not yet been prepared. Changes may be made. It was stated by school hoard members. The plan was advanced along the lines of turning the present high school building into a grade building for the Central and West Ward pupils, razing both buildings in the improvement program. This would leave only the South and North Ward buildings. When the proposition of building a new school was first launched.

They have not yet been condemned, but state author!-1 ties have practically placed a ban on them, classifying them as unsafe and pointing out the present condition of the structures. — 1 o Lauds Benevolence Os Ball Family Muncie, Ind.. Sept. 27 -(U.P> Dr. Glenn Frank, former president of Wisconsin university, yesterday paid tribute to the benevolence of the Ball family in his address at the dedicatory services of the Daniel Chester French statue ont the campus of Ball State teachers’ coll ege. "It is because in the five Ball brothers whose names Muncie honors today, the qualities of mind and character and effort which are the spiritual foundations of the nation have been supremely developed that this ceremony means more than a formal expression of i

gratitude for it series of gifts to public agencies of this city and state," Dr. Frank said. ■ — o-— Decatur CYO Will Meet This Evening!
