The newest discovery in beauty cul-
ture ID that creamed magnesia is
much better for oily skin than any
soap or cleansing cream. It beauties
the skin instantly, in the same easy
way that milk Of magnesia puriies
the stomach. This is because skin
impurities are acid. Doctors treat
acid inside the bodywith milk fmag-
.mesia. And now, dermatologiSts are
getting amazing results in banishing
complexion faults with creamed mag
nesia. All you do is anoint your skin
with it, massage and rinse with water.
It's as simple as washing your face.
It reduces enlarged pores to the
finest, smoothest texture almost as il
by magic. Being astringent, it drives
away the tell-tale signs Of age. You
will marvel at the effect Of your first
1ve-minute facial massage. It re-
tuvenates the skin so quickly that
any woman can look lovely tonight,
years younger. It's marvellous how
,lnagnesia dissolves blackheads, clears
leruptions and corrects oily skin.

trade. He was no more un-
strung by the knowledge
. that this first audience was
the most critical and sophls-
ticated the show would ever
; face and that on its reaction
. hung his present and future
than a race horse is panicked
because he is in a derby.
He was keyed, pitched,
strung to a supreme effort,
!. not alone of all his talents
but Of all the minutiae of
look and infection and move
which had been trained into
him at rehearsals.
It was his song, Broad
way Melody He felt it.
His heart was hitting in
split-beat jazztime.
A thrill of pride ran
through Hank and Queenie,
as they stood in the second
entrance. Their Eddie was
selling" his star song to a
crack galaxy of the Big
Burgh. A crash Of hand
claps had welcomed him.
Eddie was a Somebody, all
right, all right. He was a
Somebody on the Main Stem
where few were Anybody.
And they both loved him.
And Hank thought he loved
her. And Queenie knew he
loved her.
The concentrated silence
and forward leaning Of the
audience, of which they
could catch a segmentary
glimpse, revealed that they
were eating up" the num-
ber. Through the verse,
then into the chorus, then
into the syncopated repeat
of the chorus-the WELL
known Zone and two -
arrangement, and then he
swung into his soft-shoe
footwork. From every direc-
ton the chorines pranced
on and wove into forma-
tioas. He backstepped across
the stage and made an exit,
doffing his derby hat and
waving his cane in the other
hand.
1t was a sensation. The
house all but tore out the
seats. Fannie had, of course,
anticipated that. There were
to be repeat and repeat
choruses, each with a spe-
cialty team or single. The
Mahoney Sisters were third.
An eccentric dancer with
long legs followed Eddie on.
She tore it wide open with

though they ought to kill
her. She was applauded off,
and Hank, entering ahead'
with Queenie hand on
Hanks hips behind her,
tapped to downstage center
and executed their neat
routine.
AS they bowed off they
passed Eddie, on the O. 2.
side, standing by for his
re-entranee, the blow-off of
the number.
His eyes were set straight
ahead. What he loved most
in life was less than a foot
away, but he never even
turned an eyeball. A quar-
tette of character hooters
were coming on, with the
chorus divided to let them
through. They picked up the
time and were burning up
the groundcloth. The girls
were tapping their thighs
with their hands, swapping
fingers and clapping hands,
making a sweet and clean
cut tempo to dance against.
As the chorus finished the
girls, as by magic, poured
themselves into a rhomboid,
and Eddie Kerns breeEed on
and formed the apex. Every
one was moving and no one
was moving much. The
chorus, somehow, shifted
about and sifted to a fan,
then without seeming to
change positions at all, to a
triangle.
Suddenly the stage went
black. From above and all
sides and the spot boxes in
the balcony hot piercing
baby lights that threw
fantastic shadows, which
died as a row of lAmp-posts
upstage flooded the stage
below and above a trans
parency was illuminated
from behind, showing Times
Square, a night scene, with
the girls and Eddie form
ing the Longacre triangle
in the foreground. In the
dark second a newsstand
had been silently wheeled
on and a sound effect made
the rumble Of a passing sub
way train below, while a
traffic cop blew his whistle
behind them at that famous
left-hand turn on Forty-sixth
Street, where Broadway and
Seventh Avenue meet.
Across the back drop

and horns were racing every
which way. A big red sur
face car ground its way
around tn e Forty-second
Street curve. People were
rushing in and out of the.
minaretted kiosk at Forty
third Street. A moving
sign flashed on and off on
high. The clock on the tall
picture theater was lit up.
and showed the right time
(for once).
The audience jumped up
and cheered!
FANNIE had put it on and
over again. He knew his
producing and he knew his
Broadway and he knew his
rst-nighters.

Eddie took" seven
"bends. There was no en-

that gigantic climax. But
the orchestra was up IN
forte now with a mad synco-
patton of the melody, the
brass blaring, the drums
rolling, the saxophones
moaning weird blues and a
shrill clarinet with a falsetto
wall topping all.
Eddie s star song was
surely getting its "plug.

partment stores would hear
from this before noon.
