It is a natural and desirable match
from the social viewpoint. Both fami-

society—and democratic pretenses to

Roosevelts settled in Nfw'York some
75 years before the war of independ-
ence. Both families also have estab-
lished backgrounds of wealth and
prominence.
The romance acquires an element
of political interest, however, front
the fact that the father of Mr. Roose
velt and the father of Miss Du Pont
are about as far apart politically as
two men could be- Eugene du Pont
is a conspiefous representative of the
class President Roosevelt has de-
scribed as "economic royalists." He
and his kinsmen took a prominent
part in organizing and financing the
American Liberty League, uncompro-
mising foe of new deal economic
philosophy.

hit with a grapefruit in that famous

tough with her in this new picture,
but doesn't use his hands. It's no
longer a kick to see a man hit a
woman on the screen.
They are working slower in this

After the scene has been taken
four times, she comes down from the
stage, looking tired. She is wearing
a short-sleeved waist and an abbrc

well as her face are covered with
brown makeup. A wide white circle
is painted around her lips.
She tells roe it is the first time she
has ever done a tap dance or work-
ed in blackface.
I ask her how she likes the black-
face.
“What do you think?” she says. “It
takes me two hours and 20 minutes
to get this stuff off."

HOLLYWOOD—These Changing
Scene*: Rewritten, and with a new
director, the picture “Maytime” is
under way again at Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer. Nelson Eddy is standing on
a table singing to a drunken crowd
of artists in a Latin quarter cafe. It
is Paris in 1865. Eddy is wearing a
flowing Windsor tie, a velvet jacket
and a wide sash around hi* waist He
is pretending to be in his cups, too,
and, in the middle of the song, topples
off the table into the arms of his lis-
teners. They carry him, still singing,
across the room and' set him down

“Perhaps,” he says, "but I like it.”

says, “so hundreds of tenors copied
