I duly censure him, especially In view of the fact that little George wanted to come to Texas with him. Which parent is entitled to the custody of the child is a question to be determined by the courts. "I want to accord our sister states every consideration to which they are entitled.

The fact remains, however, that Nottley was sought to be, extradited for carrying away his own child, the custody of which had been awarded to the mother. It would not be an offense under the laws of this state. If I permitted the Michigan authorities to take him back, he would be subject to prosecution and might be sent to the penitentiary. I do not feel that he should be. Father Lived Good Life "Ordinarily, as recognized by the courts, the best Interests of a child of this age demand that he be awarded to the mother.

It is Indeed strange that this little boy, however, prefers to remain with his father rather than return to his mother In Michigan. I dislike making this decision when the mother Is not here. I realize the grief that surely must ensue from any course this case may take other than a reconciliation between the mother and father for the welfare of the child. "Nottley has lived a good life, made a good citizen and unquestionably displayed unusual solicitude for the welfare of his boy. "In refusing the extradition, I honestly pray that the best Interests of father, mother and son will be served." Little Boy Plea Wins Over Allred Governor Refuses to Send Father to Michigan (Continued from Page 1) for greater wisdom than I possess.

I may be wrong in not following the cold letter of the law end delivering Nottley to the Michigan offlcrs. "I cannot find it in my heart, however, to do so." Visit Mansion The lad thanked the governor, then accepted an Invitation to the executive mansion to play with "Jim Boy." Turning to the Michigan officers, Gov. Allred said: "I know it was wrong; maybe I would have done the same thing." The dramatic meeting of the gov ernor and the two Nottleye had a happy denouement when Junior Nottley went over to play football with "Jim Boy" Allred. The modest El Paso schoolboy and the governor's son, A six-year-old, booted the ball about the executive lawn for nearly two hours, watched over by a burly Texas ranger, Leo Baldwin, former University of Texas football star. Another interested spectator was David Allred, the governor's youngest son.

Young Nottley had another treat. He was escorted through the historic governor's mansion by "Jim Boy." r1 Ye Qualitye Shoppe An entirely new group of GEORG JENSEN HANDMADE SILVER in gift piece at givable prices.

For Herbert Marshall, as usual, is chalked up an intelligent, understanding performance. Because Miss Hellman and Mr. Shairp have provided a literate ecr.pt, because Dir.

Sidney Franklin knew what to do with it and because it is frankly sentimental hut tastefully so '-The Dark Angel" Is substantial, solid entertainment. Those who remember the silent version with Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky will recall the story of two Engiisn brothers, Alan and Gerald, in love with Kitty Vane, and her choice of Alan. The present version begins with some nicely handled sequences in which the thre are shown as children, when even then Kitty looked to Aian with unabashed adoration. The war takes both men and in the trenches there comes to Alan the realization of his love for Kitty. Home on leave, he tells her of his love, but their plans to marry are shattered by a sudden call cancelling ail ieaves.

Alan is reported killed, taken from a German prison camp having lost his sight. He refuses to return to his home, and Kitty thinking he is dead becomes engaged to Gerald. The background scenes are for the most part a quiet corner of rural England, and the photography piays no smail part in the total effectiveness. A supporting cast, including Janet Beecher as Aian and Gerald's mother, John Haliiday, Henrietta Cors-man and numerous child actors contribute to this fine screen play. Frankly, "The Dark Angel" ia the most satisfying screen cry since "Smilin' Through," A Popeye cartoon, a musical, "Cavalcade of Music," and news-reel complete the Paramount screen program.

Troopers Refuse To Admit Official Carolina Road Official Is Earred From unice By the Associated Press COLCMBIA. Dec, 7. Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway commis sioner, was formally refused possession of the state highway offices by troops Saturday after Gov. Oiin Johnston had removed or suspended 13 politically hostile road commis sioners.

Sawyer, unacvompanied, made his demand for mntrol of the highway offices of Maj. Frank H- Barnwell. the military commander whom the governor placed in charge when the state supreme court enjoined a special road board he set up In a coup Oct. 2 9. i i i HWWW.MSUWt.JilMlJll'Sl.JillWMfMlll1JI' Coming direct from the New Olmoa Terrace In San Antonio, where they have been a part of the much publicised Benny Meroff floor show, Monday evening at the Club Forest will be Jane Joy, fan dancer, and Thelma Ciska, Up and rumba dancer.

The two dancers will be part of the Club Forest floor show for a week. Ben Young's orchestra will furnish the musical background for the featured dancers. Miss Joy will offer a fan number and a Congo number, said to be a special combination of African cult dances and spiritualistic rhythms. Tap and rumba numbers will be presented by Miea Clska. All four dances will be presented two times nightly during the week.

The first spot will be at 10:30 the second at 12:30. There will be no advance in cover charge, Frank Gallagher, manager of Club Forest, stated. Hutton Truckin" This week Austin will fall in line with other cities in the Interstate Circuit of theatres in becoming Hutton-conscious. The "blond bombshell of rhythm" (quoting the ads now), Ina Ray Hutton, appears in person with her all-girl band and stage show at the Paramount for three days starting Wednesday. By a coincidence of booking, however, Austin theatre-goers will be exposed to the cyclonic personality that I am told is Ina Ray Hutton for a solid week on stage and screen.

Following the mid-week personal appearance the picture "The Big Broadcast'' will slip in at the Paramount for a four-day engagement, and in this assemblage of screen and radio specialty acts is Miss Hutton with her all-girl band. And it is through Hollywood that local audiences are acquainted with Miss Hutton, A contract between Irving Mills and Paramount Pictures for Mills' artists to appear in Paramount Pictorials led to Miss Hutton's first screen work. The sequence which presented her with the new girl band lasted for four minutes, but convinced Mills that he had a specialty act that was a real draw. A second subject, "The Garden i Party," in which she appeared along with the Yacht Club Boys, gave her the opportunity to demonstrate her dancing ability. The third subject, a two-reel mu- sical titled "Feminine Rhythm." brought Miss Hutton before motion picture audiences as a singer, dancer and leader of ability as well as a dynamic This particular subject was shown at the Queen theatre a few weeks ago.

Then followed the sequence in "The Big Broadcast," and before leaving New Tork for the present tour of Texas, Miss Hutton and her girl band completed a new short subject, "Accent on Girls," listed for ielea.se late in December. Ina Ray Hutton, a little more than a year ago. -was discovered by Irving Mills as a singer and dancer in night clubs and as a member of the cast of a recent Ziegfeld Appearing In the Party" stage show -with Miss Hutton and her band Wednesday will be Helen Horan, impersonator; Dorothy Crooker, control dancer: and the Three Burke Sisters, singing trio. As a special added attraction for the Interstate tour the show also will present Jack Pepper, former Dallas entertainer, with his two assistants, Terry Howard, diminutive singing comedian, and Sammy Cantor, a Russian hill-billy. The screen presentation on the bill with Miss Hutton is "Miss Pacific Fleet" with Joan Blondell.

"The Dark Angel, screenwriters Lillian Hellman and Mor- daunt Shairp and Samuel Goldwyn' iTniiv selected caat have made a tender tasteful screen play. The picture, playihg at the Para- mount through Tuesday, should register as one of the entertainment hits of the season, and give the creengoers a delightful session. Like "Smtlin' Through." which It closely resembles, The Dark Angel" never lets its lachrymose theme become painful, stresses restraint and produces moments of as near beauty perhaps as the screen can offer. The most delightful surprise of the film is the charming performance by Merle Oberon.

Skirting pi tf alia that would trip a less skillful actress, Miss Oberon uses generous footage all to advantage, in-ttills real tenderness into the love scenes, gives an emotional performance that should make the creen feminine topnotchers look to their laurels. Fredric March, who has slipped in indifferent characterizations of late with alarming frequency, gives one of his more competent accounts of himself. Of course, it can be pointed out that it is the Identical interpretation of the earlier "Smil- WWvWMiMiWti 'MmewawiJ i u-us i -whim RtlBSlIC MMffl MERLE OBEH0I! DfiRKflnCEL EXTRA!

Oridley Grant Mitchell Sidney Kendail Harvey Stephens An amiable farce. "It's In the Air," provides Jack Benny another opportunity for wisecracks before the cameras and for the first time on the screen to win the girl. This time the girl is Una Merkel, who plays a straight romantic role.

Together with Ted Healy as Benny and the cast of this M-G-M comedy gag their way throtieh the old story of a Broadway chiseler who is running away from a federal income tax evasion charge. All the action buildp up to a funny climax in a stratosphere balloon, in which Eenny and Healy are stuck because they tried to pull another phoney promotion stunt. They have to go throuah with the flight, and I think you will find in the balloon sentience alone enough laughs to put "It's in the Air" down as a pleasant screen experience. Most of the action is laid In a resort hotPl in the west where are congregated a group of business men who take Benny's avowal that he is a famous scientist seriously and decide to cash in on the proposed stratosphere, flight. Moving in and out in his characteristic fashion is Nat Pendleton who plays the dumb cop role for the usual quota of laughs I Jack Benny Is a smooth per former, plants his gags with general effectiveness, makes no pretensions as an actor.

Una Merkel is attractive as the romantic interest, and Ted Healy works throughout the footage as sidekick to Benny, delivering comedv generously. Grant Mitchell.
