Nan Grey haa Co enact one of the
most difficult scenes ever assigned
to an actress during tbe filming of
"The Storm,” Universal’s drama of
wireless heroes, which comes Sunday
to tbe Queen Theatre.
As ship’s nurse in the story she
was called on to perform a surgical
operation with Tom Brown her pa-
tient, aboard a storm-tossed ship at
sea. Miss Grey played the scene while
waves crashed in through broken
windows and the craft pitched and
rolled under the force of angry ele-
ments. Smoke, fog and the sin-111 cries
of excited seamen added to the gen-
eral confusion.
Although Miss Grey and Brown
carry the romantic interest in the
film, "The Storm" features a list Of
popular stars, including Charles Bick-
ford, Barton MacLane, Preston Fos-
ter, Andy Devine and Frank J’enks.
Bickford is seen as the dare-devil
wireless chief wbo swears vengeance
against MacLane after Faster has
been abandoned to drown on a sink-
ing freighter. Further drama in the
screenplay by Daniel Moore, Hugh
King and Theodore Reeves, shows a
ship crashing into an iceberg, the
explosion of a gasoline tanker at sea,
and hand-to-hand battles in a witer-
front cafe.
The picture was directed by Harold
Young and produced by Ken Gold-
smith, the same combination which
made the hit film, "Little Tough
Guy" Milton Krasner did the camera

only a fine acting performance, but
contributed a delightful song and
dance and opened the play with a
musical reading prelude.

in this RKO Radio picture Astaire
is seen as a noted psychiatrist whose
efforts to play match-maker for Bel-

an actress who secretly loves the doc-

Four tuneful numbers by Irving

"Analisis del Diario Mill tar de Don
Jose durante la Primera Oampana
de Tejas," by the Vincente Filisola
who took charge of the retreat of
Mexican forces to Matamoros. Here
he printed his analysis in 1837. The
only known copy of this report is in
the Stephens collection.
Bartolome Garcia's "Manual para
adminlstrar log aantos sacramentos,"
also in the collection, is the fir^t
textbook used for the instruction of
the Indians in Texas mission. It was
written by a Texas missionary and
printed in 1760.
Among the manuscripts are the let-
ters and documents of Alonso de Le-
on, the Spaniard wbo discovered La
Salle’s colony at what is now Port
Lavaca, and brought the first mis-
sionaries to establish the East Tex-
as missions in 1690.
A letter of Lorenzo de Zavala, first
vice-president of the Republic of
Texas, written in June, 1836, one
month before his death, advocates
the admission of Texas into the Unit-
ed States. In the letter, Zavala said:
“I am of tihe opinion that* Texas
Should be annexed to the United
States in order tn maintain its inde-
pendence from Mexico.”
Letters of Santa Anna in the col-
lection include one to his wife, writ-
ten from prison at Orozimba near the
San Jacinto 'battlefield; a letter, also
written from prison, to President An-
drew Jackson; and letters to the
Mexican consul in New Orleans.
The first Texas seal is found on a
document dated 1814 and signed by
Bernardo Gutierrez of the Magee-
Gutierrez Expedition which failed to
establish Texas independence. At the
left of the shield is outlined a mis-
sion before which stands an Indian
holding a piece of iron in tbe flames
of a forge. Half across the horizon is
thg rising sun and in the background
are the great plains with roaming
buffalo. Dr, Castaneda interpreted
the seal as symbolizing the rise of a
new era and the forging of a new
state.
The entire collection comprises 876
printed items, exclusive of newspa-
pers and broadsides, and 21,000 pages
of manuscript. The earliert. manu-
script. dated 1498, signed by Ferdi-
nand and Isabelle, Contains instruc-
tions to the judges of the Spanish
inquisition. The latest manuscripts
and pamphlets are of the year 1860.
The materials cover the hhkory of
Mexico in general and the history of
Texas, California, Arizona, and
Mexico in particular.
