telegram from Mr. Whiteman’s manager yesterday. The local impresario had been *“dickering” for some time to bring the King of Jazz back to Indianapolis. A booking for Jan. 31 had been selected but was canceled because of Mr. Whiteman’s engagement to play for the Governor's Inaugural Ball at Austin, Tex. For the one-night stand in Texas the Whiteman troupe is said to have received the largest fee ever paid a dance orchestra for a single evening's entertainment. Mr. Whiteman’s advance man swears it was $10,000—no less! ’

‘Lloyd's of London' Depicts Little-Known Task of Underwriters.

You will hear nothing about annuities, double indemnities or 20year endowments in “Lloyd's of London,” which opens tomorrow at the Apollo. You will see, however, a play about the world’s most famous insurance company which started in a coffee house and was, among other things, a pioneer in the history of modern journalism. The journalistic end of the business was forced upon the company by necessity. Lloyd's underwriters were, and doubtless still are, the world’s biggest ship insurers. They needed news and the 17th and 18th Century English papers did not give it to them. The press of that day was hampered by official restriction, lack of enterprise and slowness of communication, and the local news which constituted most of the copy often was distorted by the publisher’s political beliefs.

Self-Defense Measure

After several unfortunate instances when canny merchants insured their ships after they already were sunk, Lloyd's decided they needed “hot news” in order to save themselves. So Lloyd's News was started, flourished for some years and was suspended shortly before 1700. This was succeeded by Lloyd's List, which survives today as perhaps the oldest existing newspaper. In the picture you will see the ingenious forerunner of the telegraph whereby the Channel stations gained news from France. It was a light on ship's masts or a huge windmill on the French coast. Large letters were placed against it and the English observers, with the aid of a spyglass, were able to spell out the latest news as soon as it happened. By this method the fortunes of the English navy during the Napoleonic wars and particularly Nelson's victory at Trafalgar—one of the picture’s highlights—were made known to Lloyd's.

Scoop Was Costly

Film researchers discovered, while preparing the present picture, that Lloyd's suffered a disastrous news scoop at the hands of another famous concern, the House of Rothschild, whose part in English history ready has been told on the screen. Nathan Rothschild was present in

As soon as he saw the result he sped to the French coast and communicated with his English office by the

Youngest Player Has Experience

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 4. — The youngest principal of the cast of “The Woman I Love,” is the oldest in point of screen experience. Wally Albright, who has a prominent part in the drama of the French air corps, appeared in pictures in 1928, when he played opposite Gloria Swanson. Now 9 years old, he plays opposite Miriam Hopkins, Paul Muni and Louis Hayward, stars of the picture. Miss Hopkins made her first screen appearance in 1932, Hayward in 1933, and Muni in 1928, shortly after Wally began his career.

BUYS NEW AIRPLANE

Director Victor Fleming, ardent air enthusiast, plans to trade in his cabin plane on a '37 model as soon as he completes work on “Captains Courageous.”

According to leading millinery designers, the type of hats worn by Garbo in films is the deciding factor for styles of every new season.

realized on the London Exchange from that advance tip ran into millions of pounds. Of course, “Lloyd's of London” has the usual romantic interest along with its story of early news gathering. The cast is headed by Freddie Bartholomew, Madeline Carroll, Tyrone Power Jr. (son of the famous Irish character actor of a few years ago) and Virginia Field. There are about 50 speaking parts, and more than 4000 extras take part in the English “epic.”

THURSTON ESTATE IS SET AT $22,000

By United Press JERSEY CITY, Feb. 4—The estate of Howard Thurston, the famous magician, who died last April at Miami Beach, Fla, now totals $22,905, oan accounting filed by Thomas F. McMahon of New York, the executor, disclosed today. Against it is a claim of Ray S. Sugden, another magician, of 221 40th St., Pittsburgh, Pa., for $559,355. Mr. Sugden contends that

Thurston failed to carry out an agreement made in 1925 to go on a tour with him. The inventory showed that Mr. Thurston owned $8224 worth of Porcupine United Gold Mines stock, $8700 worth of Gillies Lake-Porcu-pine United Gofd Mines shares, and $100 worth of land in Hillsboro County, Florida. He also left life insurance of $812.
