HOLLYWOOD's handsomest newconter Is Edward Ashley, young Australian actor, who makes his Ilollywood screen bow in a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture.
Ashley was launclied on a screen career in an odd way.
In his native Australia, he won fame as a daring race driver.
A newsreel, showing him win- ning a race, caught the eye of an Australian motion picture pro- ducer, who signed him to a con- tract:
After appearing on both stage and screen in Australia, Ashley went to England, where he en- Joyed prominent success before few coming to Hollywood a months before the outbreak of the war.
He sought tò calist, but was urged by the British government to first fulfil his Hollywood con- tract.
CAPTAIN'S DEATH POEM FOR WIDOW
A
LONG and thrilling fight between the 5,267-ton Newcastle steamer Hopestar and a German U-boat has just been re- vealed with the announcement, in a recent issue of the London Gazette, that Captain John Steward, master of the ship, has been appointed an officer of the Civil Division of the Order of the British Empire.
:
The ship's gunlayer, Henry Read, a Royal Marines penslorer, awarded the medal of the Civil Division of the order.
The Hopestar, slow, and not in convoy, steaming in heavy weather and bad visibility, was suddenly attacked about midday.
"By putting the helm hard aport the chief Loflicer cleared a torpedo by five yards," says the
official report.
"All look-outs were doubled, gun crows closed up, the ensign was hoisted, and course fre- quently altered.

"About half an hour later the enemy's periscope appeared in various positions, but it was nearly an hour before he fired a second torpedo.
