season, with miniature laltbite and carts, filled with eggs and candy. Following the dinner, several games of tbingo were played and prizes were awarded the winners. Mrs. J. F. Sanmann announced that the rummage sale will be held Saturday in the old Staley confectionery (building on South Second street. Hostesses were the officers of the eorority, Mrs. James Ettinger, Mias Flossie McConnell, Mrs. C. R. Saylors, Mrs. Robert Zwick and Mrs. Sanmann. ETA TAU SIGMA HAS MEETING TUESDAY tMiss Glennys Elzey, Mrs. Robert Shraluka Mrs. Sig Andenson and Mrs. Richard Arnold united in entertaining the members of Eta Tau Sigma sorority last evening at the former’s home. A two-course dinner was served by candlelight, after which films were shown by Lt. Marcella Brandytberry. Four tables of bridge were formed and prizes were awarded Mrs. Richard Arnold, Mrs. George Helm and Miss Mildred Worthman. The guest prize was won by Miss Lillian Worthman. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Herman Girod. TRI KAPPA SORORITY MEETS TUESDAY EVENING The business and social meeting of Tri Kappa sorority was held last evening at the Elks home. Plans were discussed for the dental clinic, of which Mis. Roy Kaiver is chairman. Tri Kappa has sponsored the clinic the last four years. The chapter will also sponsor a senior girl scout troop. Following the business meeting, an unusual and delightful program of entertainment was held. Many games were played at individual card talbles, with each member winning a prize. At the conclusion of the games, a delicious luncheon was served. Hosltesses were Mrs. Charles Camp, Mrs. Roy Kalver, Mrs. C. I. Findlayson and Mrs. Robert Thompson. Mrs. R. W. Edwards of West Lafayette was a guest at the meeting. MRS. ELIZA HART IS HONORED ON BIRTHDAY Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Plumley entertained iSunday with a pot-luck dinner in honor of the eighty fifth birthday of Mrs. Eliza Hart. A social afternoon was enjoyed. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. Chester ICoverdale and daughter Beverly, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Plumley and children, Arnold and Norma, of Fort Wayne Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Chronister Mrs. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Harry McDermott, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Shifferly and daugh-

all through the picture,’ he said.”

Just to see how it works, I stay and watch a scene in which Gene has to stand between the towering leading men. It’s supposed to be a storm outside and there is thunder and lightning. The storm effects men are so enthusiastic that they steal the scene away from Gene, Vincent Price and Glenn Langan. “What is this?” demands Director Mankiewicz, “The Gotterdamerung?” "Please,” says Price. “I hope you are referring to the lightning and thunder.” If Will Rogers could look onto the "State Fair” set. he’d certainly be surprised to see his one-time screen hit turned into a musical and featuring mainly singers. • I watch Director Walter Lang shoot a scene on a lawn of a coun-try-club. His people are Dick Haynes, Vivian Blaine and Bill Marshall, all singers. Or didn’t you know that Marshall was a singer with Fred Waring and later a band-leader before he became a movie actor? He once had Betty Hutton under contract and turned down Frank Sinatra because his manager said no guy with ears that big would attract women. Anyway, all three of these players will sing songs in “State Fair.” A sensational score, too, I hear. It was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein 11, who did "Oklahoma.” The numbers from “State Fair” will be released six weeks before the release of the picture. Producer Bill Perlberg ordinarily likes a three-month leeway but figures that this score, being from Rodgers and Hammerstein, will get a terrific plug. “I never knew a picture yet that was hurt by having the songs released too soon,” he says. “That is, not if the score is written specifically for the picture. On the other hand, we waited too long on ‘Hello, Frisco, Hello.’ We had a wonderful number called ‘You’ll Never Know.’ But It didn’t get into the hit class until the picture had finished its first runs.” .
