One of this depart- - ments favorite monarchs has CAGNEY has patched long been Jeff Davis, king of the Meets Girl. It is a rollicking story about two loony Hollywood scenario writers, That was many years ago, when a series of hobo stories in the Chicago Tribune elevated Dr. Ben Reitman to the kingship. Dr. Reitman, however, was a backslider, turning at first furtively and then brazenly to regular work, went into politics in Chicago and became a cautious and solvent citizen, too fat to ride the rods. I saw him last at the house of the late Jack London, in Sonoma county, Calif., and, if I remember correctly, Mr. London reproached him as one recreant to his ideals and in danger of succumbing to industry and ambition. Until a few years ago, I used to get letters from the hoboes of like those America, on letter-head- s of any national bank, carrying the names of the jungle judges, shacks (organizers) and track walkers and supreme knights of the road. They had to do with some misunderstanding in the organization over the lingering sovereignty of Dr. Reitman, but that is all cleared up now. Mr. Davis rule is undisputed and his name apas Jungle pears on the letter-hea- d Judge, King of the Hoboes, elected for Life. e Mr. Davis, now years old, has covered his first 1,000,000 miles on the road, and plans to start his second million on an organizing trip in Europe early this year. His father, James Davis, who died in Cincinnati a year ago at the age of ninety, had been vaguely identified as a newspaper man. Young Jeff, born in Cincinnati, started rambling when he was thirteen and now fetches up with a round forty years on the road. Bald and genial, working harder at the hobo trade than do most men on their regular jobs, he campaigns for better migrating and loafing conditions for his subjects. He wants the railroads to establish a rate for box car passengers. He says the plan has worked fine in France.

However, Ann Sothern has parted company with R K O and Barbara Stanwyck is suspended from the pay roll because they refused to play in a picture called Distant Fields. Felix Knight, who sang recently the Metropolitan auditions, is being hailed as the greatest discovery of the year, but Hollywood claims that they discovered him some two years ago. He sang the juvenile lead in Babes in Toyland, the Hal Roach film, and has sung in opera in the Hollywood Bowl. Motion picture fans will be interested to know that this thrilling young tenor was recently married to the daughter of Alice Joyce. on Its All Yours, the new Columbia film starring Madeleine Carroll and Francis Lederer, turns out to be all Mischa Auers. Beauty and romantic interest just cannot compete with the utter nonsense that this tragic-face- d Russian puts over so hilariously. Off screen Mischa Auer is entertaining too, but what most impresses one on meeting him is his deep gratitude to the United States of which he is now a naturali- zed citizen.
