Film actress plans a tour
Miss Massey to sing in South America
Hollywood, California – (Jan. 9)
A concert tour in South America was being scheduled today for Ilona Massey.
She revealed she may leave for Rio de Janeiro immediately after completion of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, Universals’ new horror picture in which she is headlined with Patric Knowles, Maria Ouspenskaya, Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi.
Before coming to Hollywood in 1936, she was renowned in Europe as an operatic singer.
Miss Massey, who recently separated from her husband, Alan Curtis, said their future would be decided when she completed her present assignment at Universal.
She asserted:
It is difficult to decide just now what to go, but the concert tour has been scheduled. Alan and I are still very much in love with each other and we have not discussed our future plans yet. We are living apart and we have agreed not toi see each other until Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is finished. Then both the domestic problem and the concert tour will be settled.

Hurt in nightclub fire, man jumps to his death

Editorial: Free speech
A New York policeman arrested a World War I veteran for sitting on a park bench and criticizing President Roosevelt and the conduct of the war to another man in private conversation. A magistrate sentenced the offender to 30 days in the workhouse, the appeals court reversed the conviction.
That is good news. It proves that we will have the free speech for which, among other freedoms, we are fighting. So long as we are loyal to the United States and do not assist her enemies, we are still privileged to express our dissatisfaction with our hired men in public office and with the way they are carrying out our instructions to beat Hitler.
We don’t even have to be right, we have merely to be honest, patriotic and orderly. Which is as it should be.
