Mrs. Grover Odle and .Mrs. Ed Miller, guests other than sorority members, each was .presented with a gift. Lighted tapers were used to cen- ‘ ! ter the tables when Mrs. Anderson was presented with a favor which contained directions for finding a | "treasure' chest. This contained many beautiful anti useful articles for a kitchen. At the close of the evening Mrs. - Barton served a one course lunch- . eon.

D. Myers, and devotionals by Mrs. F. V. Mills The hostesses ’..i1l lie Mrs. O. L. Vance. Mrs. Harry Mo'tz Mrs. J. T. Myere, Mrs. John Peterson, and Mrs. W. Guy Brown. EVER READY CLASS MEETS THURSDAY The members of the Ever Ready Class of the Methodist Eniseopa! church met at the home of Mrs. Leota Beery, Thursday evening. Mrs. Osa Pollack had charge of the devotionals and the business meeting. During the meeting Mrs. Chari les Fletcher was elected president :to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Leigh Bowen. Refreshments were served at the close of the ftieeting 'by Mrs. Beery, assioeted by Mrs. Frank Orbit. Mrs. R. A. Stuckey. Mrs. Charles FletIcher, Mrs. Earl Colter, and Mrs. Frank Carroll.

One concession he is not making, however, is to look at rushes. “What’s the use?” he says. “If the producer doesn’t like what he is getting, he’ll tell you quickly enough.” Today, the company quits work at two o'clock tp rehearse a minuet on another stage. We trail along. The new set, a huge ballroom. Is full of dancers. |t is funny to see these boys and girls, dressed in modem clothes, go through the formal steps of a minuet. Most of the men wear slacks and sweaters. The girls wear slacks, but have a sort of framework bustle attached to their waists to familiarize them with the gowns they’ll have to use in the picture. Mme. Albertina Rasch and Van Dyke watch the rehearsal from a parallel. When the dancers start to clown a little, Mme. Rasch calls out: "Come, come, children, don’t be silly.” One of the principals rehearsing the minuet Is Joseph Schildkraut. He gets us to one side. ‘lf you write anything about this,” he says, "please don’t make fun of me. This is the first time Ive ever had to dance on the screen. I don’t even dance ui private life.” ..v Later ° n ’ at R - K '°' we flnd the Vivacious Lady” company practicing a very different kind of dance, ‘ the big apple”. Although it is the craze in Hollywood, Ginger Rogers hasn’t done it before. The per-

Ginger Rogers 5

son who really is worried about learning, though, is Beulah Bondi. Director George Stevens and the whole company break right up when the character actress tries It the first time. In talking to us between

takes, Ginger Rogers gets something off her chest. “Why do people keep referring to my part in 'Stage Door' as a ‘dramatic role’?" she demands. "It was strictly comedy, all but one scene when I cried So was my part in 'Having a Wonderful Time' and so is this part. I’d like to do something dramatic, but I certainly haven't yet.” Ginger is very thin these days, 107 pounds. She weighed 122 when she made her hit at Warners in “Forty-second Street”. “But it’s no use trying to gain now,” she tells me. “Even if I just sit and eat, I don’t put on a pound.”

Magnuson suggested the navy | needed a naval base hi Alaska, j Leahy agreed. “It is my opinion,” the admiral i ’ said, "some naval facilities should Ibe established in Alaska, but I | lam not prepared to say how ex-1 i tensive they should be." Magnuson drew from Leahy a ' statement that Alaska probably has the. least of American shore defenses. “Is the Japanese fishing fleet an auxiliary to the Japanese navy?"| ' Magnuson asked. "I do not know," said Leahy. "Have you heard that the Japanese navy trains its naval cadets - on the fishing fleet?” “I can't answer that.” “Do yon know of any Japanese ! naval bases in islands adjacent ; to the Aleutians?" "I do not.” o February Term Os Court Opens Monday The February term of the Adams circuit court will open here Monday. February 7.
