When you see “Captain Fury,” (with Brian Aherne, Victor MeLag !en, and June Lang,) you will see special dances that are authentic of the hectic period of American colo nization in which the story is laid. You old-timers will recognize Betty Blythe as the wife of a colonial secretary; she is one of the stars of the silent screen who still likes I to appear before a camera occa sionally. There’ll be old fashioned dances jin ‘‘Wutherine Heights.” too. The | dance director who's responsible for i them is Jack Crosby, who once was a cowboy, and then was a railroad I fireman. “Dancing Daughters” made a | star of Joan Crawford, and may do the same for Virginia Grey. Metro is going to give her a chance jat it, at least. And since the origi nal version appeared in 1928, a new screen audience has grown up who won’t feel homesick for Joan when they see the 1939 one. The European market for films may be shot to pieces, but the Latin- American one is more important than ever. Movita, the Mexican actress who was last seen in “Rose of the Rio Grande,” will have the same sort of role in “The Girl From Rio,” and will sing songs in both English and Spanish. RKO is whipping up “The Girl From Mexico” with Lupe Velez as the Star. No doubt all the other companies will blossom out with pictures intended to please our good neighbors in South America before the year is over. Kay Francis will appear on the air in a full length play for the first time in March. She has made few broadcasts in the past, but may turn to radio more frequently if she sticks to her decision to turn her back on the movies. Many a radio star can thank a i lucky break for the boost that brought success. Lanny Ross is j one of them. Ten years ago he wanted to join NEC’s legal staff. | They told him they were looking for singers, not lawyers. lie auditioned as a singer, and to his amazement, was engaged. He’s never returned to the law. Gabriel Heatter leaped into na tional prominence as a commenta tor when he handled the Hauptmann trial, although he’d been doing an excellent job long before that. Paul Whiteman just happened to hear loan Edwards singing one day in a music publisher’s office, and en gaged her to sing with his band. Mark VVarnow was a violinist in an orchestra that accompanied Morton Downey. One day the leader was ill, and Warnow substituted for him, w'ith the result that Downey insisted that he conduct all his broadcasts from that time on.

SPEARS: The leaflet on making Rag Rugs that just came with your two books is most interesting to me, and I thought you might like to know about a rag rug that I made, and added more rows to from time to time. “I save the best parts of old sheets and dye them different col ors; then tear them into one-inch strips. I have a power machine, so I run these through it turning in the raw edges. The stitching strengthens the strips and makes them firm and neat for braiding.” If this letter inspires you, I have made a sketch here showing how to start your room size rug.
