Dorsey Trial In ‘2d Day
Difficulty in Seating Jury Grows.
By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Nov, 28-—Tommy Dorsey's trial on charges he slashed screen star Jon Hall's nose enters its second round today with attorneys too busy trying to pick a jury to do much worrying. about
¥ ., BS sertedly patted & on the night of Aug. 5. FF Superior Judge BR Arthur Crum halted the trial late yesterday while both sides were still challenging prospective jurors. The case resumes today with a tentative panel of three men and nine women—none of them actually seated. Isaac Pacht, attorney for the bandleader, who with his shapely bride, Pat Dane of the movies, and Allen Smiley is on trial for assault, spent the first day plugging away on & man’s right to protect the sanctity of his home. He questioned each juror about how he or she felt on that delicate question. To a man, the veniremen —each of whom seemed anxious tc serve on the jury—said they thought a man had a right to protect it. While Pacht quizzed the eager jurors, Dorsey slumped in his seat and worried about how his band would have to make its personal appearance in Chicago Friday night while he made one of his own in court.

By the time one chuckle dies out, another one's on tap in Ruth Gordon's comedy, “Over Twenty-One,” the first play to come from the pen of the actress. Opening at English’s last night for a three-day engagement; the production is quite different from
last two weeks, “Othello,” “Sons o' Fun” and “The Waltz King.” Miss Gordon, in the stellar role in her comedy, has written a humorous tale of what occurs in the living room of 26D, Palmetto court, Miami, Fla. She‘: dominates the scenes in all three acts and gels oft some clever puns and witty lines. The heroine is the talented author-wife of an “old” fellow who is almost 40, but who has quit the newspaper business to try to win his wings as an aviation cadet. She got to Miamj just in time to boost her discouraged husband over the top, especially when he’s rapidly becoming convinced that a man over 21 “just can't absorb anything.” Clinton Sundberg looks and acts the role of the “overaged” cadet, Max Wharton. He's particularly funny when he tries to learn test answers for his air corps exams. The setting itself is well suited for comedy. You've probably never heard of turning the bedroom lights out in the living room and going out on the front porch to switch off the living room lights, That's the way it was in the Miami apartment. And to add to the inconveniences was the sinkless kitchen and the

Miss Dane, wearing a low-cut yellow blouse that gave a hint of the curves that started the bloody free-for-all in the bandleader’s apartment, spent the day nervously peeling off her blood-red nail polish and complaining ‘that her shoes were “killing” her. “How long do you think this trial will take?” Judge Crum asked the lawyers. “About 10 days, "announced Pacht. “Better make it two weeks,” Giesler corrected. Judge Crum said he just thought he'd ask. He had other cases coming up.
Lupe Velez Tells Of Wedding Plans
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 28 (U. P) — Mexican film star Lupe Velez said today she had finally found a man —Prench Actor Harold Raymond— who “tells me where to go” when she tries to control him, and that she had promised to marry him. She said they had been going together for a year and that he popped the question Thanksgiving day. “I am very happy,” she declaged. “Harold knows how to oo do me. I've always been used to controlling men, but I try it with Harold; he tells me where to go.” - The peppery actress formerly was married to Swimmer Johnny Weissmueller against whom she filed three divorce suits before going through with one.
