THE COMMON LAW
 AND THE GIRL HABIT AT NEW GARDEN

Constance Bennett IS a gianlor- ous person. And the role 6he DOT travs in the RKO Pathe picture, '.The Common Law" which opened yesterday at the New Garoeh theater, is particularly suited to her beauty and talent.
 The story is about an artists model with advanced ideas of love and the man she loves who IS modern in everything but love. The art studio scenes are paruc- ularly well done, and the scene representing the Parisian Four Arts Ball'' with it's gorgeously cos tuned women stands out as a piece of masterful direction. Henry Give. famous painter and illustra- tor. acted as technical director Tor these Parisian scenes. He had 10 conduct a real beauty contest in or der to make a suitable selection or beautiful girls for the scene.
 Constance Bennett undoubtedly liked the role of Valerie West, Never for a moment does the qual- ity of her characterization lag. Throughout the picture she plays with understanding and restraint. There is depth to Valerie West. Miss Bennett has an excellent supporting cast-Joel McCrea. Lew Cody, Robert Williams, Hedda Hopper, Marion Shilling, and Paul Ellis.
 Paul Stein directed. The screen play was adopted from Robert w.. Cham bers' move l, ''rhe Common Law" by John Farrow.
 The companion picture Is Charlie Ruggles in "The Girl Habit" a Paramount comedy. In The Girl Habit" Ruggles is presented as the wealthy young bachelor who Is en- gagged to pretty society girl. The hilarity of the show lies in the number of excruciatingly funny situations which come about when Charlie Is caught in many escap- ades with other women-women who do not seem to be able to let him alone.
 Other pictures are Universal News with Graham MacNamee an- nouncing and Kid the Kidder short comedy.
 Tomorrow all ladies attending will receive gifts of pyrolid dresser ware. The sound reproduction Is by RIGA Photophone which Is func- tioning perfectly and everyone who attended yesterday had nothing but praise for the results Of the now equipment.

TOMATO ENEMY OF SCURVY Research Proves Tomatoes Are One of the Most
 Important Sources of Valuable Witamin

pared with spice, onion and pepper and artifcially colored tomatoes were produced by treating the green tomatoes with ethylene.
 Cold pack canned tomatoes were capable of producing cure of scurvy in the guinea pigs after the cans had been stored as long as nine months, whereas tomatoes canned by the open kettle method did not produce complete recovery even with larger doses, indicating that vitamin c is lost by oxidation. The green canned cold pack toma- toes indicated considerable loss oi vitamin c following storage. It was found that tomatoes ripened in the greenhouse were not quite so potent in vitamin c as those ripened in the field.
 Tomatoes colored red by the use of theylene gas also required larg- CT doses to produce recovery than those ripened in the field. Tmoa- toes ripened in dark rooms pro- duced recovery. indicating that the vitamin c may develop in the to- mato after it is cut from the vine. The amount of vitamin c in green tomato pickles was found to be so small as to be negligible.
 Obviously. exact knowledge is needed before a conclusion can be drawn as to the virtue of any spe- cial type of what are known as deficiency diseases. It is not pos sible to argue on the basis Of the cerning the scientific knowledge of general knowledge of the past con- the present.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
By SAMUEL DASHIELL Limited Press Stan Correspondent

'
 Paris-The Abbe Moreau. Direc- tor of the Observatory of Bourges, and famous as a prophet or good and evil days, has declared that the influence of the moon was prac- tically negligible in its effects on the weather.
 with changes in the atmosphere, which causes areas of depression, winds rains and the extremes of temperature," the Abbe said; "all that it affects on earth is the ris- ing and falling of tides.
 The venerable Abbe asserted however, that both the ancients and not a few modern students believe that there are indications given by the moon which bear a close relation to weather predic- tion.
 "We only have to cite the words of General Bugeaud, the conquer or of Isley, contained in one of his letters dated Nov 29. 1S41," the Abbe pointed out. General Bu- geaud wrote. Eleven times out of twelve, the weather during any lunar month can be judged by the 9th day; that is, if the 9th day re- sembles the 5th. and 1t being clear. the rest of the month will be more or less the same. If the 9th day Is compared to the 4th day, the pre- diction comes true nine times out of twelve"
 The Abbe Moreau observed, how ever, that not only General Bu- geaud wrote of this prediction. but said that it was known to the ancients, particularly to Virgil, who had mentioned it in the First Book of his Georgics.
 The ancients believed that the 4th day of the new moon was in- dicative, and they believed it was an infallible sign, based on long observation.
 Pliny the Elder wrote. accord ing to Abbe Moreau. Tn Egypt it is observed that the 4th day of the new moon must be taken as an in- dication. If the lunar body shows itself clear on the fourth day, fine weather will continue throughout the month"

In England, centuries ago( 1t was the custom for the king to keep tame cormorants and to go forth with them on fishing trips. The keeper of cormorants was an officer in the royal household. Cormorants are good-sized birds which stand up very much like auks. They have webbed feet, and are expert divers and swimmers. They can swim under water in pursuit of fish.
 England kings used cormorants to catch fish, just as they used hawks to catch various birds. The custoLl also existed among prin- ces and nobles who lived on the continent of Europe.
 Cormorant fishing" has gone out of fashion in Europe, but it is still carried on along the coast of China. The Chinese place a strap around the birds neck to prevent it from swallowing fish which are captured. This seems to me like cheating the poor bird | it goes to all the work of catch | ing game but cannot eat what it brings from the water.
 There are 30 kinds of cormor- ants,. and several kinds live along the coast of North America. One kind, frequently seen along the | Pacific coast of Canada and the United States, has extremely pretty feathers.
 Cormorants make their nests in high places, usually on steep cliffs. From four to six eggs are laid in each nest. The young are blind when matched.
 In our land we do not take fish away from cormorants. They eat whatever they catch. and some- times eat more than may be good for them. When gorged with food, a cormorant Is to be seen perch ing at a high point along the coast, its wings extended as if ready to fly. but the bird remains without motion. Minute after minute passes, and still the bird holds It's wings in that position. We may find 1t hard to explain why cormorants go to the work of holding their wings out when not in use. Most likely the birds want to be ready on the instant to fly away If danger comes. (Placc this article in "Nature" section of your scrapb00k.)

JOAN CRAWFORD IN "THIS
 MODERN AGE" DELIGHTS
 CAPACITY HOUSES AT STATI

Joan Crawford has done it again in her new ro-Goldwyn- Mayer picture, "This Modern Age" which is the feature attraction at warm CTS State to-day and tomorrow.
 By "done 1t again" we mean she has given to the theater-golng world another of her extremely ac- curate, authentic and well-vignet- ted portraits of the modern girl.
 "This Modern Age" is worth any one's time because it so exactly describes the position of mother in these modern times. AS the mother in this picture. Pauline Frederick sits at no fireside but gets out and makes whoopee "lth the youngsters.
 In fact, the excellent drama Of the piece revolves around the in- dignation of daughter Joan when suitor Neil Hamilton tells her, love you-but your mothers repu- tation .! ,,,
 The story has a decidedly new twist, and has been spiendldiy oi- rected by Nicholas Grinde.
 There are two leading men, one the too upright MT Hamilton, the other Monroe Owsley, who repeats in large scope hisi extremely well received genteel drunk Of "Holl- day." Both men have grand parts' with the acting honors about even
 Albert Cont is suave and con vincing as the admirer of mother while Hobart Bosworth and Emma Dunn as the New England parents of Hamilton give two finely etched characterizations.
 The story is permeated With lavish backgrounds and costumes. Miss Crawford never having looked SO stunning. Among the most nectacular scenes are e gay party in the home of the heroine and an episode which takes place In an ultra modern swimming-pooi res taurant.
 The surrounding program IS ex- ceptionally entertaining and chocH full of pleasant surprises. Popuiai Joe O'Keefe has another tuneiul presentation entitled Melody PIG tures," that has been receiving big hand at every performance start to-day attending the State during Warner Brothers Hits ol the Century Show Season ano you'll see the best screen entertain' ment in the world to-day.
