Gale Sisters Reunite In Film In Triplet Role The famous Four Gale Sisters, a pair of twins, separated six months ago because they decid ed they had gone as far as they could as a sister act. Singly, they believed, they would get a chance to do something besides sing and dance. But, for their first real mo tion picture break, three of them had to get together again. June, Jane and Joan are cast in Im portant roles in Paramount’s “Melody in Spring,” which comes Thursday to the Liberty Thea tre for a two-day showing, fea turing Lanny Ross, Charlie Rug- gles, Mary Boland and Ann Sothern. Their reunion came about when Director Norman McLeod searched all over the country for a set of triplets to play import ant roles in the picture. Despite applications from all parts of the United States, none of the trios could fill the requirements of beauty, singing ability and act ing experience. The decision to reunite the Gale girls followed. Joan was borrowed from a major com pany. Jane returned from Chica go where she was featured In a film based on the World’s Fair. June has already appeared In one picture. The fourth sister, Jean, is a free-lance film actress. Tobacco growers of Halifax county report considerable dam age from bnd worms, though most of the growers are poison ing the pest and securing fair control. ^, Lanny Ross, celebrated radio tenor, is featured with Ann Sothern, Charlie Ruggles and Mary Boland in hia first picture, Paramount’s “Melody in Spring,” which will be shown on Thursday and Fhnday at the Liberty Theatre. In it he sings the three popular hit tunes. “Ending With a Kiss,” “Melody in Spring” and “The Open Road.” Semi-Finals In Poll Shows Roosevelt Ahead In 47 States Roosevelt continues to lead by more than 3 to 2 In the semi final returns of The Literary Di gest poll on the new deal, ac cording to the tabulations pub lished in the magazine. Vermont Is the only one of the forty-eight states which votes a majority against the president’s acts and policies. ' Sixty-one per cent of the 1,- 508,861 votes now tallied ex press approval of Roosevelt's program. The vote so far is 920,- 357 for the new deal to 688,504 against it. An “Analysis of How Voters in This Poll Voted in 1932 and How They Vote Now” reveals that Roosevelt still holds 4 out of 5 of his former adherents and gains more than 1 out of every 3 Hoover voters to his support, which gives Roosevelt a net gain of 5.68 per cent from the forty- eight states as whole. A tomparlson of the current returns with tl^e previous week’s tally shows that the President’s majority In the poll has been re duced in the District of Colum bia and in every state except Louisiana and Montana though the losses In ratio are fractional. Eleven states give the new deal a majority of 55 per cent or less. Eighteen states and the Dis trict of Columbia show a 55 to 65 per cent affirmative vote In the poll. Twelve other states show a majority for the new deal of from 65 to 75 per cent and sev en additional states, all in the south, give the President a vote of confidence of from 3 to 1 to nearly 6 to 1. A comparison of the ratios in this new deal poll with the of ficial vote Roosevelt received In 1932 Indicates that he has gain ed favor In twenty-five states while he loses popularity in twenty-three other states, which are mainly in the South and Mid dle Western agricultural dis tricts. The second report of th© spe cial poll conducted among the lawyers of the nation gives a vote of 1 ,869 for the new deal to 14,7^5 against It. However, a majority vote of disapproval is noted In twenty-four states. The second report of the spe cial clergy poll shows that the ministers continue to vote in favor of the new deal by 12,318 “Yes” ballots to 10,089 “No” ballots, which is a slight de crease In ratio for Roosevelt’s acta and policies over the prior report. The first returns of a special poll among the educators of the nation give the President a ma jority vote In all forty-eight states and a combined majority higher than In the main poll or any of the several Literary Di gest special polls. This expres sion of approval, It Is stated. Is “five times a strong as was the margin of disapproval In the banker-ballots.” Child Welfare Survey Will Be Completed Within Short Time Miss Stafford Urges Greater Response From People of County is Miss Lillian Stafford, who canvasser, for the American Le gion and Auxiliary child welfare survey, today issued a statement urging greater cooperation and aid in locating crippled and han dicapped children.
