Help Ousted Musicians
Cleveland Group Not to Accept N. Y. Jobs.
NEW YORK, March 2 (U. P.).— Members of the Cleveland symphony orchestra came to the .support of the New York Philharmonic
Conductor Artur Rodzinski @ over the recent dismissal of 14 philharmonic musicians. The Cleveland group said they would not sign any contracts to fill the vacancies on the philharmonic orchestra which Rodzinski is scheduled to take over for the coming season in October. Rodzinski. now is conducting the Cleveland orchestra, and the latter organization said none of its members would accompany the conductor here. The pledge, made in a telegram to a negotiating committee of the philharmonic, was in support of a plea to orchestras throughout the nation. The New York committee has filed charges with the musicians’ union accusing Rodzinski of being responsible for the dismissals.
GABLE TRAINS AS GUNNER ON BOMBER
PUEBLO, Colo., March 2 (U.P.)— Clark Gable, now a first lieutenant, has arrived at the Pueblo army air base for several weeks’ advanced
motored bomber. An air base spokesman appealed to the public to allow the former film star “the privacy he needs to do his work well.” Telephone operators at the base said they had been swamped with calls from women who “just wanted to talk to Clark himself” after it
had been reported that he was sta-
tioned at Pueblo.
TOSCANINI iS ILL, CANCELS PROGRAMS.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2 (U.
P.).—Artruro Toscanini, conductor,

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, March 2 (U. PJ). Today we present’ Miss Maria Margarita Guadalupe Teresa Estella Bolado y Castilla. And with a name like that, how could she ever accomplish anything? Or even sign ration book number two. ? So Miss: Maria Margarita, etc, ete, and et . cetera, changed her name ga few years back and now she can sign up for sugar, shoes,| coffee, canned goods, gasoline and recapped tires quicker than anybody. Margo. That's all. Just Margo. The lady with the hot castanets. This Margo, from Mexico city, is a distinguished American citizen,
‘naturalized.
Distinguished is right, Last year she won the gold-plated prize as the woman with the finest English diction on the radio. She’s’ sold $6,000,000 worth of war bonds, she’s the queen of the air corps (Atlantic
‘| City division), and she’s the voice
in R-K-O’s current “This Is America” film series. The point of all this "has to do with the fact that many a movie star from another land never has learned to speak English. She’s the girl who danced at the age of 14 at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. That's where the Messrs. Hecht and MacArthur found her and put her into their famous movie, “Crime Without Passion.” Then she appeared in half a dozen movies, last of which was “Lost Horizon,” about five years ago. Margo went back to New York as a triple-threat woman. She sang, she danced and she acted. -She also married the actor, Francis Lederer. She did fine with the singing, the dancing and the acting, but not so good with the marriage. She divorced Lederer a couple of years ago. A few weeks ago she/ was in southern California with a\big-time pbped by
