The young adventurers, Nick Perminoff and Vic Ermolaeff, are now in Shanghai getting ready to try it again . . . and this time Edmund Lowe is sponsoring the trip. Reason why Bob Hope has those extra gray hairs is that a week's stock of jokes worked out by the comedian and his seven gag men was lost or stolen from Hope’s brief-case. Part of the jokes were for Bob's radio broadcast and part for his picture, "Some Like It Hot.” The star carries insurance specifically covering his comedy material and will try to collect SI,OOO for the loss. That’s the weekly salary of his gag men. If Olivia De Havilland goes through with those flying lessons, it’s a good bet that her instructor will be Howard Hughes and not a naval aviator . . . She and Hughes have been making the late spots together, with Hughes, as usual, requesting the management not to tip off the columnists ... So Fay Wray is divorcing John Monk Saunders.

An untold number of dead, run- ' ning into the thousands, is the sad aftermath of the earthquake which devastated several cities in Chile, causing its worst destruction in Concepcion, shown above, and in Chilian, 350 miles south west of Santiago. Another hardhit town was Talcahuano, naval base, which serves as the port of Concepcion. While most of the earthquake zone was still isolated, stories of rich regions destroyed, of hundreds of thousands facing famine and disease reached the ears of officials at Santiago, the chief Chile city, Trains bearing surgeons, nurses, medical supplies and food felt their way to the stricken areas. Government authorities pegged prices for all articles of prime necessity and particularly of foods in order to prevent possible speculation.
