By HARRISON ( ARKOLL CepirlsSl. IS3S Kins Fselsses SysdlcaU, las. HOLLYWOOD. — Few know It but Don Ameche has been on the ) verge of a breakdown from a mur- | derous schedule of screen and radio 'I work. On the urgent advice of

[ his doctors, the star will take an eight weeks vacation from both as soon as he finishes the picture, "S w a n e e River.” He and Mrs. Ameche plan a leisurely ■ trip, just where i Don is not saying.

t IF L Don Ameche

To give you an idea of what the atar has been up against, he has made four pictures in a row. Most of the time, he also has been doing a weekly radio show. It has meant working seven days a week and Don is so tired he is about three jumps this side of the hospital. A local brain surgeon, hired by R-K-0 to demonstrate the technique of an operation to Brian Aheme, had the most embarrassing experience. He was showing the star how to cut into a skull. The patient on the table, an actress named Helen Grant, wore a shell over her hair to imitate a shaven pate. The surgeon bore down too heavily on the instrument and it went through the shell. Not enough to do any harm but the actress let out a scream. As a result, they may substitute a dummy when Aherne does the scene for "Vigil in the Night.” Understand Grace Bradley Is planning a return to the screen. She quit pictures three years ago when she married Bill Boyd after a two weeks' courtship. Now he has consented for her to go back. Just in case the gossips might misunderstand, there is ataolutely nq marital trouble between the pair. First person I talked to after the Capra preview was James Roosevelt. "Wasn't that great!” he enthused. Seeing as the picture was "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," Se might be expected to get a special kick out of it, but everybody felt the same. Never heard a preview audience give such a burst of applause at the finish of a picture. "Mt Smith" Is Capra's best, which is saying plenty. James Stewart is superb as the green /oung senator who puts up srch a ight against corruption. He'll

The Ixiyal Daughter* class of the Evangelical Sunday school will meet at the home of Mra. Hur) Ham n.und Tuesday evening st sevea t-tlrty o'clock Mrs. Hilda Gaunt will be the assistant hostess. All memb~rs are urged to be present. REFORMED AID SOO ETY MEETS The ladles' aid society of the Re-) termed church met In th.* social icoma of the church Wednesday, afternoon with Mra. Uurt Frltxlnger. Lis the leader. During the devotion-, nls. the song. “America the Reau-) tifuL" was sung In (ommemoratlon r.f Discovery Day followed with a' -010 by Mrs Ben Bchroyer. Mra.

This is one picture that won’t “ have to worry about the loss of the f foreign market. It’s so peculiarly . American that Europe probably ! never would have understood it anyway. But what a smash hit it I will be In this country! And what a stirring restatement of its Amer- ! lean ideals. June Preisser’s sister. Cherry, > could have had a screen test at M-G-M. It was offered her when she visited the "Judge Hardy and II Son" set. She said no—that all her interest was centered in her husband (son of Harry Hopkins) ? and her seven-month-old baby. s __ 5 Isabel Jewell has an Interesting » letter from a friend now stationed t in the Magtno. line. He says the > soldiers have pasted pictures ot • Irene Dunne, Greta Garbo and Deanna Durbin on the walls of the underground barracks. And that a f poster of Hedy Lamarr in "Al- . giers" covers the entire back of a , door. , The recent heat and rain completely ruined the grapes in Clark , Gable's vineyard. He had expected I to give two and one-half tons to local hospitals.
