Grace Moore is annoyed again, It's a thing that seems to happen to her every time she goes to work in Hollywood.
First there was that little spot ot bother during the making of "The King Steps Out." She object- ed to milking a cow and singing at the same time.
What effect the dairymaid stuff had on her voice was never dis covered, since the cow sequences were cut out of the picture.
Later, Miss Moore announced that she didn't want to sing "Minnie the Moocher" in her last Alm, "For You Alone."
Now, in "I'll Take Romance." currently In production. Miss Moore has refused to give forth with "St. Louis Blues."

The new rates for covering cargo bound to, from, or via ports in China against war risks, which
are given elsewhere in this issue, reflect the view taken by under- writers of the situation which de- veloped over last week-end, and it is particularly noticeable that, whereas previously there was no additional ·WALK risk rate for voyages to or froth Shanghai, this port is now included with the Yangtsze ports at £3 per cent. whilst the goods are waterborne, or £10 per cent, including shore risk, up to a maximum of 15 days.
