gists today by DR.. Ernst Huber, of
Johns Hopkins.
Comparing facial muscles OF men
and great apes, DIR. Huber found
that if man descended from the
same common ancestor, these
muscles help to fix the time when
the original stock divided into hui
mans and monkeys. His report does
not upset existing scientific data on
which the common ancestor of men
and monkeys is based, but it adds 20
mans potential dignity by widening
the time gulf between them.
His new evidence is the difference
in facial muscular development of
orangs as compared with gorillas
and chimpanzees. In SONG points
he says this difference is 'funda-
mental" A vast stretch of time,
would be required for such differ
enccs to evolve. and he gives reasons
for thinking that before the orans
began to grow his peculiar face, man
already had separated from the APP
tribes.

Andy. Grows Taller

BY ingenious makeup this
radio illusion in so far as appear
ance is concerned has been main
tanned in the picture. Sharp eyes
may note that Andy's shoes have
q couple of extra inches Of sole to
create stature, but generally, the
distinction in size has been so
cleverly devised through costume
and studio methods that the
dominant, conceited Andy towers
over the meek and willing Amos.
If Check and Double Check
has any marked weakness it is
In the story supplied by Bert Knl'
mar and Harry Ruby. This is
flimsy stuff with a weak tea ro'
nance that bogs down whenever
Amos IN Andy are not occupying
attention. However, it, has been
well gagged for the comedians and
the sum total of laughter will
add up to what almost everybody
expects.

Amos Too Intelligent

Both Correll and Gosden are
good actors. The Amos of Mr.
Gosden has that appealing and
convincing quality Of voice which
makes him such q top heavy

it seemed to me, possesses an
intelligence which penetrates
through his burnt cork veneer
and tends to weaken the radio
conception Of a beaten, un'
educated and tinid little man
only occasionally stung into be
coming aggressive.
Only once did he threten to be-

his public might have liked it.
The Andy of Mr.. Correll struck
me as a closer carbon copy Of the

to hear his "sho, sho'' and
identify his familiar malaprops.
