GENE TALMADGE IS
DEAD

Never in the history of these
United Siates has a prominent
figure or official been less
mourned by more people in
death than the past four-times
elected governor of Georgia,
Eugene Talmadge. As far as
the records show he died quietly. His doctor was said to have
announced it in these few simple words: ~He died at seven
o clock.~ How this man died is
a matter of record that only
his doctor and immediate family will know, however, 1 am
sure that his death was not as:
ghastly as the lynch victims
that his white supremacy pnilosophy caused to be lynched,
burned and disfigured. Whether he repented on his death
bed or not sk:all be a secret unWhether his
can be
washed: of the blood of the innoncent to the extent that the
biblical phrase ~God forgive
them for they know not what
they do~ can be used~ ~for his
creed. This remains to be
seen. In the last four years
Talmadge's popularity

tal quirk, the inability to believe in himself. He falls madly~ in love with and marries,

mother~s secretary, Stella
(Miss Bergman). but. he tortures: himself with the conviction that she really love his
friend, Ward ~Andrews (George
Sanders) who is everything
Philip would. like to be.

As. his.madress grows on him,
Philip deliberately throws Stella,and Ward together, then
~plans a idiabolically clever crime
that will make Ward. his: victim

To Crack Down

In Hot Spring

HOT ~SPRINGS, Ark. ~ ANP |

The ~overturn in iunicipel |

ices ~ere makes it practically a certainty that the big scale.
gambling which has gone on in
Hot Springs will be a thing of
the~ past. The new GI _ Office
holders, Sid McMath, prosecuting attorney, Clyde Brown, circuit judge, and I. G. Brown,
high sheriff, have ~announced
that their first move would be
to shut commercial gambling
down ~tighter than a Pullman
window.~

This mews will not be heard
with relish by the sporting fraternity throughout the country.
Hot Springs had become the
favorite~ wintering resort for

numerous radio hookups for

speaking. To this writer's est~
mation Gene Talmadge made
Senator Bilbo look like a mere
child when it came to critici:ing

Sally, Hesler~s daughter.

In the sympathetic role of
Mrs. Kerneis a newcomer, Dorothy Patrick, seen ~previously in
Boy~s Ranch.

The dramatic portions of the
film were directed by Richard
Whorf, well known stage director and writer. The spectacular
dance numbers were staged by
Dance Director Robert Alton.

Arthur Freed, noted for his
great musical productions, is the
producer. His noteworthy productions include Ziegfield Follies, Meet Me in St. Louis, and
