LA GENIAL ARTISTA RE-

Ninguna artista de cuantas han des
fllado hasta ahora por Puerto Rico, pue
de compararse la estrella resplande-
ciente de Resurrection Quijano que,
sin mengua nunca Gle su arte prodigioso
estupendo, una vez que deslumbra y
arrebata al p1blico, Sc entrega a 6l,
toda irresistible simpatia y bondad, pa

sugestionando con su voz poderosa, vi

maravillosa actriz, y su gracia, que
subyuga y electriza.
En- todos los cuples estuvo insupera
BILE esas noches, que fueron de gloria
para la selectisima concurrencia del
cine ''Rialto'', predilecto del publico,
y ahora mas que nunca. La insigne es-
trella de varieties canto, bailo, ac-
cion6 y sedujo mas que nunca. Su pro
grama, que fue todo nuevo, hizo perder
la cabeza al p1blico. Y las ovaciones,

eran interminables.
Ell triunfo conquistado por Ia rival
de RaqCcl Meller y Amelia Isaura per

tro publico. Pero los aplausos, con per
misc de ella, no han de ser todos para
la insigne artista Resurrection. Per-
mitasenos que, en- nombre del publico,
nos anticipamos dar un sincere aplau

presarios seiiores Bruno y Gonzalez,
que han regocijado nuestro espiritu con
la luz que esparce, alumbrando las no.

Para matarnos de risa, algunos poe

Yo sostengo que no. La isla Sc be-

ISerfa ruinoso para ell azicar ell

IAl lograr Ebertarros del cabotaje

there should be a barn for the school

be moved back. The school board ex-

The fact that a ~gorgeously trimmed

The cancellations include many so

appeal is primarily the appeal to sex

Looking back over our expcrinece

After the first month we realized
the unreliability Of promises, as it
was only under certain conditions

withdrawing them, but our contract
was for six months, the children
needed US, and so we took matters
into our own hands.

After two years OF work, the Ju-
nior Aemrican Red Cross, whose
membership is composed of the
school children Of the United States,
abs completed its task in Czecho-
Slovakia. The great work launched
by it in that country is to be con-
tinued by the Czecho-Slovak Junior
Red Cross recently organized. The
success of the Americans is attested
by resolutions adopted by the
Czecho- Slovak organizations thank
