P.).— Clark Gable is finding his Army role "plenty tough," but in the opin- ion of his Pittsburgh roommate he's proving he can "take it"—despite a daily lineup of feminine autograph seekers. "They are thinking of moving Gable to another wing of his ho- tel," Sergeant Hyman Grossman I said in a letter from Miami, where he and Gable are at an Air Corps Officers' candidate school. "The rea- son is that there are too many en- trances near our room. There are loads of women every morning watching us march—looking for Gable." Grossman wrote his parents that Gable is "a regular guy and a good soldier." Award Winner Is Survivor Of Athenia Judith Evelyn On, Liner When 112 Were Lost NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (A. P.).— Broadway's star newcomer, Judith Evelyn, thought the curtain had dropped forever on her career three years ago tonight. She can hardly believe she has the coveted Drama League award for the season's best performance. In fact, she thought she would never hear applause again. Three years ago today Judy was aboard the Athenia—the big Brit- ish passenger liner which was sunk in the North Atlantic with a loss of 112 lives, the war's first big sinking. 80 JAMMED IN BOAT "There were 80-odd people Jam- med into our lifeboat," she said. "But we were desperately short of men. Somehow we had lost two oars on one side. I rowed one oar, or rather, I tried to row. The oar was so heavy I could hardly lift it and then I never knew whether it would come down in the water or an air trough. "There was a little baby lying at my feet wnose mother was too injured to take care of it. I want- ed to shelter the baby in my lap, but I couldn't do that and row too. I can still feel that baby's little hands clutch my ankles every once in a while." Judy was one of seven to survive when the lifeboat was hacked to splinters by the propeller of the first rescue ship. BORN IN DAKOTA In two weeks Judy was on her way to Canada again. Although born in Seneca, S. D., she had grown up in Canada and begun a stage and radio career which had been continued in Britain. She resumed radio work and made 'films for the Red Cross. Then she went to Hollywood and the Pas- adena Playhouse. Her debut as a Broadway star came last Dec. 5 in the role of the harried wife in "Angel Street." The show, which almost closed two days after its opening, has run more than 350 performances and Judy has has signed to stay with it until June, 1943. Applications for Marriage Licenses Edith A.
