CITY NAMES PARK
i FOR BILL ROBINSON
Bill Robinson is ono of the
happiest persons in Hollywood.
The genial stage veteran, ac-
claimed hte world’s most outstand-
ing tap dancer, recently received
word from his native Richmond,
Va., that a park has been named
in his honor.
The 20th Century-Fox film stan '
who has just taught Shirley Tern-'
pie new dance steps for her star-1
ring role in “Rebecca of Sunny-]
brook Farm," recently gave the
city of his birth four traffic sig-
nal lights to mark a corner at Ad-
ams and Lee streets, where he
played when a child.

.Since none of us chooses the
day on which we are born and
since July is as good a time as
any to come into the world, July
is a favored month with the An-
derson family. It isn’t important
when one is born. The important
thing is what one does after he
(or she) is born. Mr. and Mrs.
I.eRoy Anderson have done muen
to add to the good of mankind
and the making of life's way a
little smoother for another’s feet.
One thing they have done for
Bonham is to furnish a son, Em-
erson Anderson, to help educate
high
ly over the forehead.
As a fine illustration of the
olden days is Rose Vatois’s pert
black velvet tricorn with its
three turned up sides partly hid-
ing a crown of pale blue ostrich
feathers smoothered flat. Or

is topped by a rich golden or-
ange ostrich plume further

red feathers. Their long necks in-

now, and I have another good
part coming up in ‘Splinter
Fleet.’
“There will be other good
parts. Perhaps I’ll get to the top
again. Perhaps not.”
Bancroft has changed little in
the past few years. He is still
the same big red-faced fellow
who roared his way through j
"Underworld” and “Thunderbolt.”
His hair is a bit grayer. There
are a few more lines in his face.
But he still hods his own as an 1
actor even against such players
as Cagney and Humphrey Bogart.
In one respect Bancroft has
changed. He is gentler off- ’
screen. He is tolerant and good- j
humored. He accepts what has |
happened to him with a shrug of
his shoulders.
Bancroft is one of the real vet-
erans of stage and screen. Phila-
delphia-born he started life as
a sailor and was a gunner in
