WEDNESDAY, AUG. 25. 1937 Hollywood Today Tyros At Sports Become Star Athletes In Films By HAROLD HKFFCRNAN )LLYWOOD, Aug. 35. Nothing Is Impossible In the movies as wit new: Nelson Eddy, who ntver played football, li to be a sensational llne puihing half back in Rosalie.

He's buiy now, assimilating grid Iron tips from three famous coaches. SAYS PALESTINE PARTITION JUST ANOTHER GHETTO "I'm dead agalnefctfte. partition of Palestine; It is no solution to the problem. It" will only exaggerate any animosity that might exist at present," said Mrs. Mary Antebl, of Tel Aviv, back In Winnipeg on a visit after 17 years In the Jewish national homeland.

Mrs. Antehl put the partition this way: "A quarter of a loaf Is not a loaf. Take Jerusalem out of It, and It's not Palestine Fretz Israel the land of Israel." Furthermore, the Jew and Arabs were at bottom friendly to one another. "We are both Semites. It's only agitators who have stirred up the trouble.

Besides, If we are to learn to live together, we must mingle, not be separated Into little partitions. I'm convinced that, left to themselves, the Jews and Arabs will work out their own deetlny, despite the mlsthief of the past year and half." To prove her point that friendliness could easily be fostered, Mrs. Antebl aald the Jews had made "every effort to get the Araba Into our trade unions. The Arabs haye profited economically and every way by the Jews being In Palestine; there are three timet as many Araba there today when I went 17 year ago." Partition, as a final piece of bad business, "would prevent Immigration and expansion. We don't want another Jewish Ghetto In our new land no two million people herded together as they are la New York, for Instance.

We want room for an agricultural and commercial hinterland." Mrs. Antebl aald she was "thrill ed to be here again; after all, It's the scene or my childhood. I was born In England, but I went to school here to Aberdeen and St. John's and Normal. I taught In the Ralph Brown." She has a brother here, Simon Abra hamson.

Her two children, 14 and 9, she will "pick up In England on the way home." According to Good Taste By EMILY POST Dear Mrs. Post. Will you please explain what a bride to be can do about having a wedding and a breakfast when she has absolutely no family whose names could be used on the invitation. My fiance also has no mother and he, too, Is an only child. And yet we have many friends whom we would like to have at our wedding and breakfast Apart from the question of who could send out the invitations and be hostess at the reception.

have no other handicap in making preparations, since my family left me reasonably well provided for and I can have everything essen tial in the way of material back ground. It is family background that I so sadly lack. Answer Under the circum stances you describe It Is entirely permissible that a wedding Invitation follow the same form as that etf an announcement which is sent out by the bride and bridegroom themselves: Mis Mary Jones and Mr. John Smith request the honor of your presence at their marriage On Saturday, the sixth of. August etc.

It la true that under all other circumstances the bridegroom has no part ever In the giving of the wedding. And even In this one apparent exception, the preparation! which are normally assumed by the bride's family are yours. In addition to his best man, the bride groom should have two ushers or however many may be necessary, to show people to their pews In church, or If the wedding Is to be In the house, to show people where they stand. I hope, too, that you have a few really dear friends who are elderly and who can In effect take the place of your family at the wedding. to ENGLAND aid FRANCE from New York r': via these modem linsM PARIS Sept I ILE DE FRANCE Siptll NORMANOIE StptU LAFAYETTE SepU4 mfht Paris Intimatiooal ExpesKioa Ask yeaar Travel Agar branch JlW 4SS MAIN STREET WINNIPEG I PHONE es Ml Robert Taylor, who confesses he hardly knowi the difference between a base on belli and a wild pitch, li to be the star slugger on chamDlontMD Baseoau team in a future movie.
