If actresses' dreams ever come
true, Gary Cooper, currently play-
ing the leading role in Paramount'*
"The Lives of a Bengal Lancer," J
coming Sunday to the National j
theatre, will b« the moat-kissed i
male actor' in all of Hollywood!
For, by their own confession, ten i
of Hollywood's leading feminine !
stars have selected Gary Cooper
their ideal of what a leading man
and acrcen lover should be—and
have indicated their desire to have
him In their pictures.
The foremost is Greta , Gatbo,
with whom Gary Cooper has never
had an opportunity to work. Yet
the Swedish star has attempted to
secure him for her leading man in
several of her recent pictures.
That he is Hollywood's most
sought after leading man is fur-
ther attested by Joan Crawford's
repeated attempts to secure his
services. But only once was she able
to get Cooper, and that was in
"Today We Live."
Cooper is also the favorite of
Marion Davies, with whom he play-
ed in "Operator 18" and. recently,
(Catherine Hepburn sought him for
a new picture.
Dietrich's Favorite
Anna Sten, newest of the screen
stars, is another who idolizes Gary
Cooper. The lanky star may appear
opposite her in the next picture she

leen Burke, •the only feminine mem
ber in the large featured cast.
Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell,
Sir Uuy Standing, C. Aubrey
Smith, Monte Blue and Douglas
Dumbrille head the cast of the pic-
ture which was taken from the
book by Fritcis Yeats-Brown. In
"The Lives oTOa Bengal Lancer,'.'
Cooper enacts the part of a cap-
tain of one of the world's most
famous calvary units. He becomes
a hero when he dares death to
savte the Lancers and 40 keep a
soldier father from ever learning
about his son's treason.

Deal Is Dropped
WASHINGTON, Kch. 6—(UP)
—The cotton barter deal tvith Ger-
many is dead, Prosidept Roosevelt

The president explained that ne-
gotiations were broken off because
it generally was felt that the terms
of the barter deal would have vio-

the law.
He said the United States had

Texas farms terraced in 1934
by everyone reached the impres-
sive figure of 18,399 including,
774,343 acres in 196 counties.
Of this acreage 158,090 • acres
were terraced by the use of the
county tractor and road grader
machinery, which indicates incre-
asing use of this tax payers' in-
vestment.
Plans for terracing in 193S are
so wide spread that it almost
seems as if general recognition
of the necessity for this work
had been at least achieved. People
j are terracing for soil conservation
for water conservation and for j
flood control. They are terracing j
crop and pasture lands. Gardens, j
orchards, and even yards are. be- .
ing terraced to preserve the fcr- j
j tility of the soil, save the mois- ]
