MONDAY - TUESDAY Robert Taylor and Loretta Young Take Starring Roles. Patsy Kqlly is a firm believer in “the luck of the Irish.” The hilarious comedienne, fea tured in the cast supporting Robert Taylor and Loretta Young in the Fox romantic hit, “Private Num ber,” opening Monday at the Pal ace Theatre, is firmly convinced that it’s just a lucky break that she’s in pictures and not behind the counter in a department store. “The first piece of luck I ever had was being born in Brooklyn,” Patsy says. “Now there are a lot PAINTING SERVICE!

I liked to dance even as a youngster, and one of my mother’s Flatbush friends suggested that I be sqnt to school. Right then and there I got another lucky break for my parents select ed Jack Blue’s school. Mr. Blue thought so highly of my ability that he made me. a teacher instead of a pupil. You tie that one! “Then,” Miss Kelly continued, “my brother was promised a part in a Frank Fay show. I went over to the theatre to teach him a rou tine, Mr. Fay saw me, and presto! the next Monday night I opened with the show. It ran three jlears.” Patsy was featured in “Three Cheers” and then followed engage ments in Earl Carroll’s “Vanities” and “Sketch Book.” Patsy believes she was lucky to ever get a chance on the screen. “With my face?” she asks. She was a comedy success almost from the start, and film audiendep soon be gan to demand her more and more. She was recently featured in “Thanks A Million” produced at the Twentieth Century-Fox studio and as a reward for Wey perform ance in that picture, Darryl F. Za nuck had a role especially written into the script of “Private Number” for her. Maybe Patsy’s right! o TO MY FRIENDS IN NORTH CAROLINA , I wish to express to each of you my grateful appreciation of your support of my candidacy for State Auditor, and as your next State Auditor, you will always find the door wide open to you and I shall always appreciate you asking me to serve you.

M. and Saturday Night 11:00 F. M. A truly international cast is seen inthe gripping tntemlationalj spy pic ture, “House of a Thousand Can dles,” coming to the Palace Theatre on Saturday. To augment the vivid realism of this exciting picture, Republic Pic ture cast is with foreign born in ternational actors. Rosita Moreno, the alluring dancer who entertains the aristoratic guests in “The House of a Thousand Candles, was born in Spain, where she also received her education and early dance training. Phillips Holmes, the dashing ro matic lead who is sent out by Eng lish authorities to uncover the spy ring, was selected for the role part ly because of his English education, and knowledge of British habits and manners through travels and acting m the British Isles. Irving PicheJ, noted s|ige and screen veteran, who plays the sinis ter and suave spy, “Sebastian,” was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., of German parents but studied in Germany.

Records that have stood ever since 1929, when the automotive indus try enjoyed the greatest year in its histoVy, are being surpassed in 1936, j according td an analysis of Chevro let sales records announced by M. E. Coyle, president and general ' manager. Although the total sales for the industry as a whole arq running be hind the peak year record, Mr. Coyle pointed out that in three suc cessive months, March, April and May, Chevrolet’s sales have exceed ed the 1929 records for those months and set a new high record for any three months period in the history of thte| company. On the basis of present prospects, Mr. Coyle said, Chevrolet dealers should have 610,000 retail sales to their credit at the end of the five months’ peak selling season from March 1 through July 31, as com pared with 540,000 units sold in the corresponding period in the com pany’s best previous year, 1929. Mr..,Coyle points out that in 1929, whep domestic, Canadian and ex port sales of American motor cars approximated 5,700,000 units, Shev volet dealers delivered 100,000 or more units at retail each month for five consecutive months. The great est number of sales for any month in that period was 115,000 units. This year, at the 'end of May, Chev rolet had exceeded this old record by a substantial margin for three consecutive months—in March with 126,119 units, in April with 134,431 units, and again in May with 129,816 units. Mr. Coyle attributed his com pany’s leadership in sales to two factors—the immediate acceptance by the public of the 1936 models fol lowing their announcement, and the company’s success in achieving a manufacturing volume of 100,000 units a month as early as Novem ber, and maintaining this volume during six months out of the last seven. The early public acceptance, caused a steady countrywide de mand, the production efficiency as sured cars to meet the demand, and the two factors combined to result in record-breaking sales. o When N. C. Speas of Forsyth County used the terracing unit to subsoil a 12-acre field on his farm, he liked the work so well that he asked to have another field prepar ed in like manner.

Who Claims To Have Caused San Diego Flood, Says “No” To Lasky Hollywood, June 10.—(AP) —A movie producer offered Hatfield the Rain-Maker “a lot of money” to con jure up a storm today—but Hatfield declined. “I could bring the rain all right,” he told Jess Lasky. “Yes, sir, I sure could bring it, but it’d cause more damage to crops than I care to do. So I guess we can’t get together right now.” Lasky said he wanted Hatfield to work up a roaring, sod-pounding storm to advertise the premier of a movie. It was Hatfield’s idea and Lasky was willing to pay—c.o.d— but Hatfield thought of the crops, his conscience bothered him. So the rain is off. Hatfiqld is Charles M.

Coincidence or not shortly after he set up his apparatus a storm rolled out of the heavens with such violence that railroad bridges were washed away and the city was virtually marooned. Hatfield has never disclosed his methods. “But I’d give it to the gov’menfl for nothing,” he said. “Yes, sir, for nothing. The time is coming when scientists will bring rain to any section of the land that needs it, just as easy as a man orders a load of alfalfa now. “There isn’t anything mysetrious about it.
