Remembered by Mother
When the mother died in 1934
her will provided for Gen. Vander

estate. The value of this bequest

Gen. Vanderbilt was born Sep

Ph. B„ 1898, and M.E. (Sheffield)

His activity in New York's sub
way system had its genesis in a
trip to Europe on which he studied
closely the underground lines of
Paris and London. On his return
he joined with August Belmont in
organizing the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company which opened the
first New York subway in 1904.

interests expanded. It was said of i
him that he never accepted elec-,
tion to a board of directors with-'
out having it understood that he |
would take an active part in the
affairs of the corporation. He re
fused to be a mere "figure-head."
He was proudest, however, of his
military record. He enlisted in the |
eighth infantry, New York national
guard. In 1901, became a captain I
in 1909 and a lieutenant colonel in,
1912. On the Mexican border in
1916 he was inspector of the sixth
division with the rank of major1
Honored by 4 Nations
In December, 1916, he was com
missioned colonel of the 22nd en
gineers and when that outfit was
i called to service in the World War
j as the 102nd engineers, he went
j to Prance as its commander. He
was promoted to brigadier general
on June 29, 1918.
For his services with the A.E.F.
Vanderbilt was awarded the dis
tinguished service medal of the
United States and, the Belgian
I croix de guerre, was mude a knight
commander of the Order of the
Crown of Belgium and a command

Part of his service was at Ypres
and on March 5, 1931, Great, Brit
ain gave him its Ypres medal, along
with Generals John F. O’Ryan, and
J. Leslie Kincaid and Col. Edward
Olmstead. These four were the
1 first Americans to receive the med
al.
Vanderbilt resigned from the ar

in the officers’ reserve corps as a
brigadier general. Later he be
came commander of the 77th divi

CURRENT FILM
"Affectionately Yours" Is
Rollicking Comedy at
20th Century
Romantic comedy at its best—
gay, frothy and swift-moving—is
the current film fare at the 20th
Century Theatre. 'Affectionately
Yours” is the title, Merle Oberon,1
Dennis Morgan and Rita Hayworth
are the stars, and fun is the pur
pose ’of this completely delightful
offering.
"Affectionately Yours” begins its
story in Lisbon, Portugal, the one
neutral port in Europe at the mo
ment.
lop acting honors go to the j
three stars. Dennis Morgan (Kit-|
ty Foyle’s boy friend, remember?) 1
is a thoroughly charming young
man, delightfully at ease in front
of the cameras, and completely be
lievable in his role. Merle Oberon
who is deservedly one of the
screen's most popular feminine
stars, has one of her best roles in
“Affectionately Yours,” and is, in
cidentally, more lovely to look at
than ever. In the role of the man
chasing newspaper girl, luscious
Rita Hayworth follows up her re
cent smash hit in "Strawberry
Blonde" with another bell-ringing
performance. Ralph Bellamy is ex
cellent as the bewildered bridegroom
and George Tobias comes through
with another swell comedy per
formance as a Turkish news
photographer with a passion for
unique angles.
