The music is by Jerome Kern, composer "The Cat and the Fiddle," "Music in the Air" "Sally" and other great Municipal Opera successes, while Oscar Ham- mersteln II provided the book and lyrics. The story is written around the show boat "Cotton "ship op'ry" as they used to call themselves--of type which has plied the Mississippi River and its tributaries for almost 100 years. Human and humorous Captain Andy Hawkes is the owner, and with him are Magnolia, his daughter, and his straight-laced wife, Parthy Ann. Trouble develops in his company between Steve, the leading man and Julie, leading woman in "The Parson's Bride." Magnolia, the captain's daughter takes the place of Julie, but to find a new leading man is a problem. Capt.

Andy's choice falls upon Gaylord Ravenal the black sheep son of a good Southern family who is in fact a gambler and a black- eg. Ultimately he married Magnolia, and they have a daughter--little Kim being in a convent--and disappears Magnolia encounters two players, Frank and Ellie, from her father's show boat, and through them gets a chance in the New Year's show at the Trocadero, a famous restaurant. This is the era of the Chicago World's Fair, and the scenes on the Midway are remarkable for their splendor. Magnolia wins success In Chicago. Kim grows up, inheriting her mother a i and becomes a star on i a a Captain Andy sticks to his show boat.

And prospers. Back to the boat comes Ravenal. Captain Andy knows that deep in the heart of his a is a real love for this black-sheep son-in-law. He wires New i and Kim and Magnolia come to the "Show Boat" and happiness. i the current week, Municipal Opera is presenting "The New Moon' i a Lanbing in the role of a i a which she played in the i i a i and on tour; i Allan Jones, Leonard Ceeley, I 3 a i Simmons and Joseph Mac- nil in I i a loles; with Paul a a ivud Elenore Tennis In ballet and with those Mun i i a Opera favorites, Doris Patson and Jack Sheehan to augment casts for the remaining productions of the season.

This slight blond actress has been in Hollywood seven months and she is co-starred with Spencer Tracy in "Marie Galante." Yet she is an unknown as far as the American public is concerned. However, this obscurity will be swept away with amazing lapidlty upon the release of "Marie Galante," her first pictme. Such at least is the belief of Fox studio executives In other woids Franco-Italian girl is a knock-out in her initial screen venture. It was last Christmas eve that Ketti arrived in Hollywood, a stranger in a strange land and without even a knowledge of our language. She had a contract, but that was all --not a single friend.

And a contract Isn't of much help to a lonely girl thousands of miles from home on Christmas eve. However, Miss Gallian managed somehow to get through the holiday season. Then her work stalled The terms of her contiact were ilg They lequired that she learn English within three months, that she devote several houis each day to leaining scioen acting, and that she see at least one motion plctuie a day to become familiar i film technique. She followed the contract faithfully and in addition spent considerable time listening in on radio programs to learn American pronunciation. Consequently, about two months ago, she got tho title role in "Marie Galante 'And she had made an instant hit, RS you will have an opportunity to see as soon as the i is released.

"Cleopa'ra" being all set for release, Cecil B. DeMllle decided to show his appi eolation to his staff by take them all to Chinatown to dinner the other night. But the invitations very closely resembled a call to woik on a new DeMllle pioduclion They lead "We all will meet at the toot of the cross on Olvera SUcet."

Case Reports Greater in Proportion to Deaths Than Any Other State. Springfield, 111., Aug ranks high among the various states in the detection and identification of patients suffering from tuberculosis, a health bulletin published by the State Department of Health, said here today. Bais for this claim, the depait- ment statement said, is indicated by the results of a recent study which shows that case reports of tuberculosis in Illinois are greater, in proportion to the number of deaths, than in any but four other states. "Not only so," tho bulletin said, "but the death rate from tuberculosis Illinois Vas lower last year than in any other state of comparable population except Pennsylvania "Last year theie were lepoited in Illinois 9,193 cases and 4,173 deaths from tubeiculosis, an average ot 2 2 cases per death. "Rhode Island repoited 3.46 cases per death; Michigan 2.82; Minnesota, 2.69; New York, 2 2 4 California, 2 05 No other state reported as many as two cases per death The bulletin with other diseases, repoited an Increase in the prevalence of typhoid fever during the last week of thirty thiee per cent above the preceding week.

Wood River, Aug.

7--The City Council of Wood River, last night voted to publish a proposed ordinance for construction of a trunk and relief sewer improvement, having an estimated cost of between and 1425,000. An Illinois law quires that the proposed oidinance be published a week before it is adopted. The vote last night was 6 to 3 The difference in the estimates is governed by whether or not electric or Diesel power is used for emergency pumps. The City of Wood River has obtained approval of a PWA grant of $110,800 for the project. The sewer will affect the entire City of Wood River, extending the present sewers.

Attempts to pass an ordinance for the construction of a sewer improvement have been made several time- ia the last 10 years. A proposed improvement was voted down eight years ago. The proposed ordinance had been referred to the Ordinance Committee of the council in 1931, but a vota was deferred at that time. During the past spring sum- trer, the council has discussed con-' struction ot the sewers andei the same specifications, but undar a dlf- ftrent plan of financing This plan of financing, made possible under a i icent Illinois law, would pave allowed for the project to be retired by a service fee paid br users of ihe sewers. The plan acted upon last night provides that bonds shall be retired by as provided by the Illinois i u- prme.ient Statute.
