I Mrs. Guy Brown, leader for the I afternoon, then read a splendid paj per on “The Art Os Sou'h Americ” She said in part: ’Us but twenty-five percent of the population of this continent are 1 literate, it means on\v a few of the | very rich are educated in the arts, j They retain all they learn, dividing ! nothing with othera either in art | literature or music. ’’South America has had and still has a few painters of great renown and merit. Though they are heirs | to great creative powers and pictorial qualities of the Spanish painting. they retain to a marked degree the influence of the nations and schools in which they stdied. It Is curious to note they deal not with native subjects but those of foreign nations. “A strong nationalistic movement ha* risen in the past few vears in South America and this influence has been distinctly felt in all schools of art. literature and music.

This part of Africa.is renowned as a sunny land and the colorful places and people attract tourists continually. "The marks of the early Roman Empire are still visible lu these countries in some of the o'der bu. ajugs that still stand. It is known as the land of a vanished civilizat on.

star, and Republic Pictures is following the familiar course of such feuds in Hollywood. Republic now has named a successor to Autry in Roy Rogers, a 25-y ear-old radio singer who has worked in u couple of pictures. Exactly tiie same tactics

that M G. M. used in the Freddie Bartholomew dispute. By the way, what has become of Ronnie Sinclair since Freddie went back to work ? There’s an extra complication in the Autry matter. Smiley Burnette, comedian who appears in the cowboy star's pictures and who has become a big favorite with the western fans, is under personal contract to Autry. However, Republic hopes to get him to team with Rogers. Some of you moviegoers may wonder why all this bother about a western star. But there are 7,500 theaters in the U. S. who play Hollywood "horse operas”. Get a few miles out of a city and Autry and his competitors are big shots with the fans. Any woman will sympathize with Alice Faye. She had no insurance on the sable coat that thieves recently lifted out of her home. In fact, she had worn it only four or five times. Another bad feature of the burglary, Alice tells us. was the printing of her address. Since then, there has been a stream of sightseers. "Every time I come out the door, I feel like I’m making j an entrance on the stage," she says. At the Belfast school attended ! by Errol Flyrir., they’ve made the j star's old desk a seat of honor. The student with the highest grades of the wee!: gets to sit in ; it for five days. Desk was identified by a carved inscription on the back: “Errol Flynn, 1926”. Falsely identified, says Flynn. I He remembers the incident and i says that he carved his name cm the back of the desk in front of him. In view of the Janet Gaynor items, we asked Tyrone Power yesterday il marriage is on his 1938 program. “No it isn’t,” was his firm reply. "I’m at the formative period of my career and I’m going through

However, Blumenthal was scheduled to make the trip tc the coast with them, being prevented the last minute by an attack of flu. He'll be coming on to Hollywood a little later. Most garbled rumor was the one linking the blonde actress with Caesar Romero. The two went east on the same train to attend the premiere of ”In Old Chicago”. Reporters there cooked up a romance between them. — You never can tell what a chance remark will lead to. Months ago, Wally Ford was talking with Nat Levine about a future M. G.
