LORD BEATTY
Retirement From Active List
London, Jan 17
The retirement of Admiral of the Fleet Lord Beatty on reaching The age limit of 65 may be said to mark the end of an epoch for he is the last officer on the active list who held substantive rank as & dag officer during the War
One other, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt, was acting rear-admiral from January 8, 1918, but his substantive rank throughout the War was that of captain.
"All the fag officers now on the active list were promoted after the War, the senfor, Admiral of the Fleet Bir Frederick Field, on February 11, 1919,
During his Career Lord Beatty has created many records, and one of them is to have remained at the head of the active Hst for the longest period in modern times. He has been the senior Admiral of the Fleet for over 11 years, since the late Lord Jellicoe retired at the age of 65 in December, 1934.

Take the case of Beulah Mac- Donald, who comes from Scotland. is one of Paramount's minor con- tract players, and has a small part in Bing Crosby's next mu- sical picture, ANYTHING GOES"
In the middle of the picture she
was thrown from her horse, while not working, and was taken to hospital with a broken collar bone and three broken ribs.
That meant no work for at least
six weeks and she was withdrawn
from the cast of ANYTHING GOES, Expenses were piling up and she had very little money, What worried her was how she was going to continue supporting her mother.
