Snow Falls in Los
Angeles for First
Time, in 10 Years
OS ANGELES, Jan. 1 (DP)
Snow fell in Los Angeles today
for the first time in 10 years,
blanketing portions of the city
fdr a brief period but sufficient
for youngsters to get a few snow
ball fights started and some
snowmen built.. "
Because of the unusual
weather and because a warning
of freezing temperatures had
been released to agriculturists,
the weather bureau relaxed its
wartime secrecy to permit pub
lication of the. news that snow
had fallen in usually sunny
southern California.
In other portions of the city
there were brief hailstorms and
savers. rain.
Citrus growers in southern
California were warned tonight
that temperature readings of be
low freezing might be expected
daring the -night and smudging
of citrus trees was advisable in
many areas,,.;

Kyser Loses Camera Fear,
New Spy Picture Reveals
Br FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press Hollywood
Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 2 (UP
First time we saw Kay Kyser
on a movie set, his hands were
cold, his brow was sweaty, and
his shirt was soaking wet. That
was two years and four pictures
ago. He'd never stood before a
camera before and he was scared
of the way the lens stared at
him, with never a blink.
This afternoon Mr. K was in
the pink. Calm. 'Peaceful. Non
sweaty. He simply ignored that
lens. He was flat on his back,
on a big, soft couch, earning his
living doing nothing at all. Non
chalantly, too.
The actor doing all the work
in this particular scene of RKO's
"My Favorite Spy" was Waldo,
a small, black-eyed dog of un
certain parentage. Waldo's Job
was to sneak around the sofa and
grab a newspaper with Kyscr's
picture in it. This was bad.
because it showed the maestro j
wth Miss Jane Wyman, the ,
beautous blonde spy. !
This was bad because Kyser:
had just married Ellen Drew,
who didn't know he was in the '
u. s. army intelligence service,
and who therefore would not
have understood about that other
lovely. So:
There was Kyser on the couch,
. , A, M 1ir1.1 1
There also was the nose of Waldo
showing at one end of the sofa
That's all the camera saw.
What it did not see was Henry I
East, the animal man, on his :
hands and knees behind the
couch, holding onto Waldo.
"Squ-e--e-k"
Neither did it see East's as
sistant, at the other end of the
couch, with a rubber mouse in j
his hand.
Director Tay Gamett called
for action.
East let go of Waldo. The as- I
sistant squeezed the mouse. It
went "Squ-e-e-e-e-k."
And there went Waldo, after
it
"Tell Waldo to walk faster,"
suggested Director Gamett. East
told Waldo, and next take Waldo
went in a hurry. A smart pup.
A mighty smart pup, East said.
Only trouble with Waldo is
that he's getting on in years. And
his past is a mystery. If East

only could find a female dog
of the same antecedents for
Waldo's wiie, then there'd be
some little Waldos, and East
would have a monopoly on dog
; actors.
"But nobody can look at
Waldo and get any idea of his
breed," East said. "There seems
to be some terrier there, all
right, and maybe some poodle,
but there's something else, too,
and nobody's been able to fig
ure it out."
Right Glasses
The recumbent Kyser, who has
made a whopping success as a
movie actor by never even try
ing to act, said everything was
fine insofar as he was concerned,
except his eyeglasses.
His real ones are fine for see
ing, but no good for movies, be
cause they reflect the light and
make him look on the screen like
an eyeless wonder. The experts
have evolved a special pair of

See all right, but the angle of
the glass gives him headaches.
And that isn't all.

and soot something wrong with
his eyeglasses. They write in to
j complain and that just goes to
ishow; when you're making
movies you can't be too careful.
n.. ...
ine picture is Deing produced
by Harold Lloyd, who used to
wear trick glasses, himself. He
just left out the lens. Now that
Lloyd is producer instead of
actor he wears no glasses at all.
He said he thought he had a
pretty funny picture.
The same old premise, apnar-
ently, has new embroidery. Kyser
marries Miss Drew in the first
reel. Then he spends the rest of
the picture trying to get a few
minutes alone with her. He
never succeeds, account of those
spies.

Patriotism Fails
To Save Defendant
From Sentence
A belated sense of patriotism
Friday failed to save Robert
Lee Mallette from the peniten
tiary.. Mallette, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of obtaining
property by false pretenses,
asked the court for leniency on
the grounds that he had desert
ed the U. S. army last year, but
wanted to go back now and
fight.
Circuit Judge David R. Van
denberg sentenced him to five
years in the Oregon state peni
tentiary. This country was built by pi

and a gun. Dr. John W. Raley,

covered the road to Manila and
made possible the Japanese en
trance into the city," a Washing
ton communique explained.
The war department said ad
vanced elements of the Mikado's
invasion hordes entered the city
at 3 p. m., Manila time (10 p. m.
PST Thursday.)
Fight Gom On
"The loss of Manila, while
serious, had not lessened the re
sistance to the Japanese attacks,"
the war department said.
Simultaneously, an official
Tokyo broadcast asserted that
part of Gen. Douglas MacArth
ur's forces were attempting to
cross Manila bay to Corregidor
island fortress and that other
American and Filipino troops
were cut off on the Batan penin
sula north of Corregidor.
The broadcast said Japanese
bombers were slashing at the
troops moving across the bay.
The fall of the Philippine capi
tal, which Gen. MacArthur last
week designated as open and
undefended, came two days af
ter the deadline on a Japanese
boast that they would take Man
ila "before New Year s.
American soldiers and marines
had evacuated the city and to
day were reported manning
strong positions In the jungles
along a 200-mile defense arc
against overwhelming Japanese

the north and south.
Meanwhile, an official Tokyo
broadcast reported cryptically
that Japanese reconnaissance
planes had returned safely from
a flight "in the direction of Aus
tralia." No details were given, but un
derneath lay the clear Implica
tion that the flight may have
been a scouting mission prelud
ing a Japanese attempt to invade
Australia, many of whose troops
have left the country to defend

MOSCOW, Saturday, Jan. 3
HP) The Russians early today
announced recapture of the im
portant town of Maloyaroslavets,
63 miles southwest of Moscow.
Maloyaroslavets is on the rail
way from Moscow to Kaluga,
and lies about 30 miles below
Narofominsk on the same line,
recaptured by the Russians a few
days ago.
It also lies about 30 miles
south of Mozhaisk, next all-important
objective of the Russians
in their great drive against the
Germans, and the new gain
further imperils the position of
the Germans in the Mozhaisk
region, already under artillery
fire.
