Henry Hertzbrun, attorney for Paramount Pictures, and a vice president of the company, was one of the last of a series of witnesses who testified to payments made to Browne and Bluff totaling more than $800,000 between 1036 and 1940. United States Attorney Mathias Correa said he did not anticipate that he would call others, but asked the court to permit him to wait until tomorrow before restirtg formally.

The jury was excused by Fed. eral Judge John C. Knox until Friday, when the defense will begin its presentation. Hertzbrun testified that be was instructed by Austin C. Keough, general counsel and vice president of Paramount, to meet Bloff's demands for money, after Keough himself has paid Bioff $27,500 In New York city.

Arthur Martin, comptroller for Paramount in the California studios, asserted in testimony that he received instructions in 1937 from Walter Coke 11, Paramount treas. urer, to accumulate $50,000 and make it available for Hertzbrun. Defense attorneys waived examination. Earlier Keough testified that Paramount Pictures had paid 13rowne and Bloff $100,000 during 1936 and 1937 to avert "probable financial Current Attractions.

To the Orpheum! GETTING NEW MEMBERS LEGIONNAIRES' HOBBY BLOOMINGTON. Oct. 22. (Suggestion to the war department: Why not make Roy Simkins a recruiting sergeant? This year he signed up 505 memhers of the American Legion. Last year he brought in 434 men.

Legion officials say only two other men in the United States have better records as membership recruiters. Membership campaigns are a hobby with Simkina. The local Legion post, which recognizes a good man when It sees one, has made him chairman of the membership committee. TODAY! For a By MAYME OBER FEAR. been to a lot of Hollywood parties, but my first ''date-leave" party was something new in Hollywood! It was given at the Be! Air home of Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond, who launched the idea of opening the stars estates for the entertainment of the boys In near-by camps.

Their guests were 11 boys from every branch of the service who were selected by the Los Angeles U. S. O. Awaiting them were their "blind college girls chosen by their deans. Station wagons brought them in time for a before-luncheon swim in the blue pool at the foot of the terraced garden.

Here is a cozy guest house, with playroom. Its a gay spot done in bright blue and copper MacDonald Scottish plaids1 (precisely the color of Jeanette's eyes and hair). Thought They Were Dreaming. At first the boys were shy, overcome by the thrill of being entertained by a couple of movie stars. Several whispered to me: "Don't wake me up; I'm dreaming." There was one young man who seemed completely at home, confessing: "I saw Miss MacDonald in I thought she'd be like this." "Like this" meant that the famous singing star, dressed in blue slacks and a jacket with a Sam 1 Browne belt, was a swell guy.

She played gin rummy with the boys and rhumbaed with them. Her bus-band served as bartender at the 1 combination soft drink and milk stand, passed the big tins of pop-1 corn, platters of sandwiches and cookies. Fried Chicken and Song. At 4 o'clock they went to the big house on the bill for a wonderful fried chicken dinner, hot biscuits and everything! After that they broke into song. with Gene Raymond at the piano and Jeanette's glorious voice leading them.

They sang everything from "The Good Old Summertime" to "Auld Lang Sync," As a special treat for the boys, Jeanette started the songfest by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." To see those boys snap to attention was an inspiration. It was a once-in-a-lifetime happening for them. They were all privates except Marine Corporal David Fein from New York city. The Raymonds got even more out of the party than their guests. They are keeping open house 2nd TORRID WEEK! THIS A.

B. am a bearer of good tidings Deanna Durbin's It Started With Eve," at the Granada, is of no more weight in this world of woes than a soap bubble floating in the sunshine. But it is one long smile and that's enough. It is gay, diverting, tuneful. And although Deanna Durbin is more attractive than ever and her voice suggests the greater richness of maturity, Charles Laughton comes close to stealing her plcture.

The Charles Laughton whom you may not likemany don't has buried his familiar mannerisms in an old man's make-up and turned comedian. And his role makes the picture. The story is invested with a clever twist that lifts it from the routine. Mr. Laughton plays the role of one of these fabulous financial Titans who gets "one foot in heaven" to change his mind and live.

Ile shouldn't haverecovering from his deathbed caused all sorts of complications in the love affair of his son. But it makes a lot of fun for us out front who watch. There is but one trouble with Deanna Durbin, she doesn't sing enoughbut does she ever? And this time she displays another talent, she accompanies herself as she sings. She sings Valverde's! "Clavelitos." Dvorak'! "Going Home" and Tchnikowskyls waltz from the "Sleeping Beauty Ballet," Incidentally, she plays a hatcheck girl who substitutes as the fiancee' of the fabulously rich old man'sl son when the fabulously rich oldl man is about to die and wants a pre-view of his daughter-in-law before he begins taking harp lessons. Robert Cummings romps along as the son and is most satisfactory.

In short, any way you look at this little picture, it will give you a good time.
