FUCKER FLASHBACK
MARCH OF TIMES
METRO NEWS
HOLLYWOOD
FILM SHOP
By Patricia Clarjr
HOLLYWOOD.—Dana Andrews,
who can't feel successful as long
as he gets letters addressed to
MISS Dana Andrews, is strong for
girls' names for girls and boys'
names for boys.
He doesn't see anything sophis-
ticated about naming girls Jeff or
Tracy and boys Evelyn • and
Marion.
"The name Dana is definitely a
man's name," the masculine star
said on the set of RKO Radio's
"Memory of Love." "1 don't appre-
ciate all these parents naming
their girls Dans and confusing the
issue.
"One of mv doctor friends tells
me there's a rash of babies' names
that might be male or female—
Dana. Kevin, Jeff and Tray. His
hospital solves the problem by
writing the child's name:. Dana
(boy) or Tracy (girl)."
Cute names like that are okay in
novels, he said, but they don't work
out in real life. He knows. Dana
has been kidded unmercifully
about his name and his screen
career isn't helped when male fans
writer
"t think you are one of the pret-
tiest girls' in Hollywood. Please
send me a pin-up picture."
Ctings to Name
Andrews could have changed his
name when he came to Hollywood
but decided against it.
"If I can't impress myself on the
fans as mate or female, t'U know
I'll never have a chance as a%
actor," he said. "I'll stick to Dana
and let them find out the hard way
that I'm a man."
Andrews doesn't approve either
of naming a girl Jacqueline so she
can be called Jackie, or a boy Alex-
ander so he can be called Lex.
"My children's names are Ste-
ph:n, Catherine and David." lie
said. "Surprisingly enough, we call
them Stephen, Catherine and
David."
His rules for naming' children
are: I. Make sure the name indi-
cates the sex. Don't make it too
fancy. 3. Consider the syllables to
make sure the first name isn't too
long for the last or vice versa.
"If you still like Dana," he adds
"qualify it with Dana Sue or Dana
John. It's only in the last three
months I've been able to feel suc-
cessful—because I haven't gotten a
letter for Miss Dana Andrews in
that time."

Kentucky Steps In
T 6elHs Share
Of Tourist Trade
By Clay Wade Bailey
United Ptan Stall Cotmposdrat
FRANKFORT. Ky. — Kentucky
has set out to capture part of the
nation's tourist business to contri-
bute to its own economic well-
being.
The Kentucky executive cabinet
approved a plan of its commis-
sioner of conservation, Harold A.
Browning, for construction of
hotel facilities in six of its leading
state parks.
"This is only a beginning," said
Browning, who announced that the
initial outlay would involve spend-
ing from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.
One of the projects includes a
100 to 200-room hotel at Kentucky
Lake near Gilbertsville, site of the
huge Tennessee Valley Authority
dam.
Additional hotels and cabins wilt
be constructed at Carter Caves,
Cumberland Falls, Butter Memor-
ial near Carrolton, Natural Bridge
anil lennyrile State Park.
' To Ptoat Bond Issue
A bond issue will be floated to
finance construction of the hotels.
Bonds will be payable from hotel
earnings.
"If we are to share in the na-
tionwide tourist business," Brown-
ing said, "we must be willing to
make the initial outlay to attract
tourists to our borders.
''Kentucky's share of the pre-
war tourist traffic was $8,000,000
a year. That can be increased
easily to $200,000,000 a year. All
we need to do is provide sufficient
facilities for the tourists. We have
natural attractions galore that will
bring many to our gates.
"Natural beauty abounds here.
It is not necessary to leave Ken-
j tucky to see beauty and sights
| worthwhile. Our Mammoth Cave
(now a National Parkh Cumber-
land Falls, Natural Bridge, Carter
j Caves and other sites offer the
tourist all that is desired."

New Wage Scale Is
Held Steel Burden
CLEVELAND- Ju'y 8 (U-P.t-
C.M. White, president of the Rep-
ublic steel cocp., said today that
the new coal contract wi'th the
United Mine Workers, along with
wage u> reases to steel workers
has placed an unbearable burden
on steel costs in relation tc selling
price.
White said he had not had an
opportunity to evaluate the terms
of he new coal contract into costs
of steel but personally 1 don't see
hew 'the price of steel can any
longer be held at roughly 24 per
cent above 1936-39 selling price,
especially when average steel wag-
es are 93 per cent above these

PROFESSOR SAYS GONE
IS TEXAS TALE'S GLAMOR
AUSTIN, July 5.—Gone is the
glamor of another Texas tale.
Judge Roy Bean, the fabled "Law
West of the Pecos," never say Lilly
Langtry, says Dr. C. L. Sontiichsen,
authority on literature and life of
the Southwest.
Dr. Sonnichsen, at the University
of Texas as visiting professor of
English on leave from the School
of Mines at El Paso, would like to
believe the movies version but he
says there is no evidence that
Judge Bean ever saw the famous
actress personally.
"Lily made her first and only
visit to the town of Langtry
(uamed for her) on Jan. 4. 1904,"
Dr. Sonnischen said. "She was giv-
en a pistol that had belonged to
Bean. But Bean, himself, died in
March, 1903."
So it seems the movie writer
overlooked a better finish to his
story in real life than he put into
reel life.

FIGHT TO SAVE HISTORIC
ILLINOIS MARKET HOUSE
GALENA, lit. — Galena citizens
are waging a campaign to save the
city's ancient market house where
slaves were once'sold at auction
and Ulysses S. Grant bartered for
hogs.
Architects describe the building
as one of the finest examples of
class design in the midwest.
The market house stands on the
Mississippi River levee. Its brick
walls are deteriorating and the
buikting has fallen into disuse.
At one time it was the scene of
colorful activity as housewives and
tradespeople bargained over pro-
duce. A "flying" saircase led to
the second floor city council cham-
bers and in adjoining cells, prison-
ers gazed from barred windows.
City officials have asked the
state to preserve the building as a
memorial.
TEXAS TRENCH EMBASSY*
BOUGHT BY STATE
AUSTIN, Tex. — Title to the
"French embassy" in Texas has
passed to the state which in turn
is turning over the property to the
care of the Daughters of the Re-
public of Texas for restoration.
The two - and - one - half - story
colonial residence, built of native
Texas pine and furnished with
window panes imported from
France, was the home of Alfonse
de Satigny, representative from
the French government to the Re-
public of Texas.
Upon his return to France, he
sold the property and it was pur-
chased recently from an estate.
