By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, IM7 King trature, Sy ad Irate, lac. HOLLYWOOD — After three years the mother of Russ Coluntbo

still doesn’t know about his I tragic death. The old lady goes into the hospital soon for an operation o n her eyes. She'll face the ordeal cheered by a letter which she’ll believe was written by ner son. It will be one o f the many letters by which

w J Russ Coluntbo

the family has carried on the deception. Originally, the aging mother was told that Russ had gone to England on a two-year contract. Now, that story has been changed. She believes his contract has been renewed and that he is making a great success working in British films and on the radio. When she is in the hospital, she’ll receive flowers. They’ll be from Russ, too. The idea of it gets under your skin. This going on from year to year. Your imagination dwells on something unexplainable happening. Some unseen presence. Some communication that is different from the rest. Out of the vagueness that lies beyond. After “Stage Door’’, Hollywood was surprised to hear that R-K-O had let Phyllis Kennedy slip out ' of their hands. She played the i maid in the picture and made it i a brilliant comedy bit. Maybe the studio officials will be interested to know that the' actress, whom they were paying | SIOO a week, is now being sponsored by one of Hollywood's best- . known agents, who wants $750 a week for her services. And probably will get it. Rumors persist that Garbo’s “Walewska” will be one of the most costly films ever made. Boyer, hired for nine weeks, worked several times that. His salary alone is said to have been $320,000. It was at the Swing club, largest and noisiest of the stay-up-late places. A party of Hollywood people came in. They were in a gay mood.WAs time went by, they became gayer. Finally, the crowd began to call for them to entertain. Usually, this will drive

And this was the impromptu show that went on. Frank Morgan telling stories, W. S. Van Dyke singing a burlesque of “Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?’’, Ray Bolger doing his collapsible leg dance, Joan Davis warbling "Olga From the Volga” and, most unbelievable of all. Nelson Eddy, standing up in the smoke-filled air, and singing "Sweet Mystery of Use” and "When I Grow Too Old to Dream”. Errol Flynn will play the part of "Robin Hood” virtually undisguised. The long wig in which he originally made tests was the first i to be discarded. Now, after spend- I ing four weeks growing a goatee, Flynn has shaved that off, trio.

Rev. Deerfield, Mich, and Mrs. Eva Woodard of F ri Wayne visited with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Acker of North Second street Wednesday. Mrs. Scott was formerly Miso Margaret Frisinger of Fort Wayne. W. A. Fonner took the barber’s license examination In Fort Wayne Wednesday. The examination was both a demonstratl.il of actual hair cutting and a written examination. Charles Randall of Chicago was a i business caller here. Judge Janice T. Merryman will I observe his eighty-third birthday | ■tomorrow and was on the job as usual today with a smile and a hand wave that indicated he is good for any legal battle that may come up. i Henry Hipskind of Fort Wayne , was greeting friends here this j morning and looking after business. A. B. McKay of Wafoash was { shaking hands with his many , friends here this morning. Mre. Janies B<attey is ill in the Methodist hospital at Indianapolis, the rep«rt today being that she is 'on the way to recovery. Mrs. Harry O. Jones of Berne left yesterday for a trip Jo Denver and other western cities. Attorney John Hoffman and Hans ; Mueller of Fort Wayne were visit- , ors here last evening. Mrs. Philip Ohenauer, who under went a major operation at the Adams county memorial hospital several days ago. was reported as doi ing very well this afternivon. Miss Eileen Corbett of Fort I Wayne is visiting her sister, Mrs. Fred Fullenkamp and family. Miss Vivian Burk ana Mrs. Lois 'Graham visited in Fort Wayne ' Wednesday. Mrs. Don Farr, Mrs. Leo Kirech. Mrs. A. R. Holthouse. Mrs. Ben Duke, Mrs. Clifford Saylors and i Mrs. Leonard Saylors attended the ’ Psi lota Xi style show and btvik review at Wolf anjl Dessauers in Fort Wayne Wednesday afternoon. o JUSTICE BLACK TO /CGNTJNpep ij’Roy European vacation that he would present his reply to the charges by radio. At that time he said that he would make his reply "In away that cannot be misquoted and so the public can hear it.” The justice, in seclusion today and lielieved to lie at the home of , his wife’s sister tn Alexandria, made no immediate personal statei ment on his plans. The announcement of the radio 1 broadcast was made by Kenneth A. Berkeley, general manager of the Washington office of the . National broadcasting company. The decision to present his re1 ply to the klan charges by radio comes as an unprecedented step for a justice of the supreme court Never in history has a justice 1 made a radio speech of the type expected tomorrow night. On only a few occasions have justices of the high tribunal ever spoken over the air. Berkeley, announcing detailed arrangements of the broadcast, said that Justice Black planned to • use only about 20 minutes of his scheduled half hour period. It was not certain whether Black had conferred with President Roosevelt before deciding to make the unprecedented broadcast. PresI idential aides in Seattle said that Black did not talk with the president yesterday after his arrival at Norfolk. Va., aboard the S. S. City of Norfolk which returned him from a European vacation. With Black himself in seclusion today it was not possible to ascertain whether he communicated with Mr. Rooseevlt this morni ing. • Arrangements for the broadcast I were handled in telephone conferences between NBC officials and Clifford Durr, Black’s brother-in-law. NBC officials said that they would not require an advance text iof Black's remarks. However, they said, Black may, if he wishes, supply an advance text for distribution to newspapers. i NBC had offered its facilities

to Black for the purpose of making u statement on the klan charges in a radiogram sent tn Black when he was still aboard the city of Norfolk. Black then replied with thanks and said he would ad- , vise the company later If he desired to avail himself of the offer. The fact that no advance copy of the justice’s remarks will lie ] made available turned attention to | Black's statement to reporters l , aboard the Chy of Norfolk as the vessel docked yesterday. Ho said, in response to inquiries as to whether he contemplated a radio i address that “some parts of the press might fail to publish wliut I said." Announcement of the radio ad-' dress by Black coincided with a bristling attack upon the kit klux klan charges made by Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes at his first press conference in two months. Ickes characterized the klan charges as “a red herring" and declared that former President Herbert Hoover "is the greatest, expert on the subject of the ku klux klan." NBC officials said that all the stations of the system lioth the red and blue networks —will carry the Black address. They said u total of 127 stations would lie In- j vited to carry the address and that' most of them probably would take advantage of the offer. Reject Proposal Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 30—(U.R) —The proposal that the American Bar association investigate the appointment of Justice Hugo L. Black to the supreme court was rejected today by the resolutions committee. The members said it was too late to do anything about the matter. The Black resolution had been offered by Robert Lee Tullis, former dean of the University of Louisiana law school. The reso- | lutions group, in reporting today. I said "there is nothing now pending in respect to which the association can take any effective action if it took the action proposed.” The question of Black's appointi ment may still lie debated on the convention floor but most observ- ' ers felt the general assembly would concur with the committee's belief that any action now would , be purposeless. The committee also turned down a suggested resolution to have the association investigate the reasons why candidates spend more to secure election to an office than the office pays. The committee held this matter was covered by the corrupt practices act. o Auburn Infant Is Severely Injured Fort Wayne. Ind., Sept. 30— (UP) I—St. Josephs hospital attaches reported the condition of 10-months-old Mary Josephine Hinds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Hinds, Auburn. as still critical this morning.
