All three swam in the pool for 11 while, then Albert Kantrow and Rubin sat in the sun on the bank, while Nathan Kantrow floated about the pool in an inflated automobile tube.

Suddenly, as Rubin looked up, he saw Kantrow had disappeared. A search of the pool was started and the body recovered. An autopsy, performed in Healdsburg showed the man had been a suffeter from heart complaint for some time. He was taking treatments in San Francisco, his brother said. The body will be sent to San Francisco, Coroner Fred Young said.

Aiding and abetting them are Stanley Fields, Margaret Lindsay and Ronald Reagan. This doesn't mean that they have suddenly become an aggregation of little sissies.

or that even their exuberance has been toned down in the least. It just means that in this particular story they have somewhat more sympathetic parts than has been their usual lot. They are presented as a group of inmates of a shelter home for boys, a private charitable institution for kids who have been problem chitdren but haven't committed such acts of criminality as would put them in prison school. The crux of the story concerns their relations with a case-hardened old racketeer, played by Stanley Fields, who achieves a sort of regeneration and nobility just because boys have "gotten under his This veteran of the underworld has been convicted of liquor smuggling but jail sentence has been suspended, the suspension to be effective only if he remains upon his good behavior.

KGO -News: 8:05, Dance: 8:15, Studio; In Hollywood By MILTON HOLLYWOOD, July 31 (INS)- Opportunity certainly knocked at Marsha Hunt's door. After a long line of innocuous ingenue roles she deserted Hollywood and went to New York for dramatic work in summer stock. She wanted drama. Then M-G-M started casting "These Glamour The studio contacted Marsha's Hollywood agents and told them tell Marsha they'd test her for the role of Betty Ainsbridge, the perennial prom girl who chooses suicide rather than face oblivion in the collegiate social whirl a dramatic role, in any language. But, said the studio, they couldn't assure Marsha anything more than just a test, even though she'd have to back to Hollywood at her own expense.

She told her agents she'd pass up the test--the chance of her getting the part was too slim. But they persuaded her to make a try, which she did, and landed it. Now here's the kick of this story. If you don't think the studios are cute, you're mistaken, for the writers who penned "These Glamour Girls" conceived the character of Betty Ainsbridge with Marsha in mind, and Marsha's test was the only one made for the part. All of which neither Marsha nor her agents knew at the time, naturally.

Richard Carlson is quite a book- worm; between scenes in his latest epic he read five novels in two weeks. Filmdom's latest romance was indicated when Jerry Marenghi, 3-foot, 6 inch midget, escorted 4-foot, 4-inch Jeanette Fern to a preview; they'd met while working Hunter "The has Wizard closed of his Santa Monica home while he and Mrs. Hunter their two sons enjoy cruising on his yacht. Judy Garland got a day off from the "Babes in Arms" set and planted an American flag in her yard: at least she planted seeds which should grow into a flag, red and white and purple gladiolus, the purple being as near as she could get to blue. Eve Arden, the statuesque blonde who thought she was getting her biggest break in the new Marx Brothers' picture, is now wondering if it's worth it.

Miss Arden plays the upside-down girl in "A Day at the Circus." The first two days was at work she had the following experiences: A canvas chair presented to her by Groucho collapsed the first time she sat in it. Between scenes she entered her portable dressingroom for a rest and retreated with a shriek. On the cot a gorilla was dozing (she did not know it was Charley Gamorra. the gorilla-man).

Perry, insurance man, realtor, and ventriloquist of Healdsburg had business in this city yesterday. While here Perry displayed a gold watch which he has carried for fiftyone years and which was presented to him by the employees of the Santa Rosa Cannery of which he was superintendent in 1888. Perry, who is still youthful and very active, told Santa Rosa friends he is 80 0 years old.

He is a covered wagon baby and crossed the plains to California in 1852. Long ago he learned the art of ventriloquism and still has lots of fun in bewildering people when he turns his voice from somewhere upon them. SERMON HEARD BY PHONE GRAND RAPIDS, July 31 (UP)- -William VanderLaan, 90, doesn't worry any more when pains or inclement weather keep him at home on Sundays. He merely rings the Oakdale Christian Reformed church and listens to the sermon over a line he had installed from his house to the church pulpit. fierce broncho named "Dynamite." "If I could only find Buck Tay- lor, I'm sure he could help me through this crisis!" Morgan has written several letters to various ranches in the region around Las Vegas, New Mexico, but so far has been unable to find a trace of his cowpuncher friend.

He recently contacted booking agents who handle tours of Wild West shows, in the hope that they may be able to locate Taylor. Theft of more than $30 from the Sebastopol avenue bome of Sam Alexander, operator of the Roseland Beverage Company, was confessed here yesterday by a 14- year old boy, ward of juvenile court. Deputy Sheriff Primo Rocco, who arrested the boy within two hours after Alexander had reported that his home had been entered and ransacked, said the boy readily admitted his guilt and returned most of the stolen cash. A second youth, suspected of being an accomplice, was being sought for questioning.

CAMELS BURNED SLOWER 2 THAN ANY OTHER BRAND TESTED SLOWER THAN THE AVERAGE TIME OF THE 15 OTHER OF THE LARGEST-SELLING BRANDS!

In the mail came a refrom girls in the New York Mickey Rooney Fan club for a "large" lock of the young actor's hair. They are going to "divide up" the locks a new high school fad for good-luck charms. Rooney is worried about the number of hairs he will have left if he fulfills this request, but Judy, his co-star in "Babes in Arms," is urging him to cut off that forelock and oblige his fans. "You're always worried about its, tousled appearance anywaycut it off and you won't have to bother with any more pomades and stick-'em-down lotions," is Judy's advice. Frank Morgan is looking for al man he hasn't seen for nearly 30 years, to help him learn to ride a bucking broncho.

Buck Taylor, former first cowpuncher Placita ranch near Las Vegas, New Mexico, taught Morgan how to ride when he applied for a job as a cowhand at the age of 20. When he finished with his lessons, Morgan could stay on a horse with the best of them, but that was in 1910 when he was known as Frank Wupperman.
