lecture by DR.. Harvey C. Rentschler,
director of research of the Westinghouse
Lamp Co.
No rays whatever, except red, are
produced by the zinc, DR.. Rentschler
said Such monochromatic light, he
added, may some day become useful
commercially for some of the sorting
work done by photo-electric cells.
For example" he said, '"if you wish
to sort automatically bright red apples
from green. it would be far better to use
red light rather than white light due
to the greater contrast. Green apples
would appear black under the zinc arc
light and the ripe ones would appear a
vivid red. The same would be true in
sorting green from ripe or red cherries.
"A still more definite problem would
be in connection with certain blood
analyses. This point of using practical
monochromatic light for automatic
operation with photo-cells, believe, has
been badly overlooked
Il am not sure but that the zinc arc
might be used for signal work, also for
od-lighting of certain fields"

 AS the suave drawing room thief Lupin, John Barrymore gives one of the most delightful and enter taining performances of his distin- guished career, while Lionel Bar rymore. as the detective. has never been seen to greater advantage. Between the adventures of the two the audience is given more than its usual share of cinema diversion.
 The companion feature present Ken Maynard in his latest western story "The Pocatello Kid"

Last Two Days of "Disorderly Con- duct" with Spencer Tracy and
 Sally Eilers now at Fox.POli
 Halace Theater

Abounding in thrills and offering something distinctly different in screen entertainment is "Disorderly Conduct now playing at the Fox Poli Palace theater.
 With Spencer Tracy in the grim 1y powerful role of a police off cer who abandons honesty for larceny, and an imposing list of film favorites in the supporting cast, this Fox production is her. aided as the foremost dramatic of fering of the year.
 The excitement begins in the first reel when Tracy, pursuing some suspicious looking trucks, is knocked into the ditch by the bootleggers' patrol car. Sub- sequently he arrests the daughter of the city's leading politician, and is denoted as consequence, Smarting under this treatment, he decides 1t doesn't pay to be honest, and starts taking "easy money from various speakeasies.
 This immediately involves him with his captain, rigidly incorrup- tible officer. with the politicians daughter with whom the captain is in love, and with sundry crooks who suspect Tracy of double crossing them. A raid on one of the "clubs' that Tracy is protect ing, involving the girl in the kill ing of a crook, and a gang re- venge that brings about the death of Tracy's little nephew, all lead up to one of the grimmest and most thrilling climaxes in film his- tory.

eIT's TOUGH TO BE FAMOUS, STORY OF AATERlCA'S GREAT EST HERO HEADS STATE
 SHOW WEDNESDAY

"Irs Tough To Be Famous, the new picture sensation starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr, heads one of the finest double feature programs ever shown in Waterbury, open ing at the State on Wednesday. "It's Tough To Be Famous mum bers such established and well. Known performers as Mary Brian. Walter Caflett, Oscar Apfel, Elm ma Dunn, David Landau, and Lil- Han Bond in support of young Far banks. Manager Julia M. Smith states that the work of the cast is uniformly excellent, with Doug Jr carrying top honors in character ization entirely new to the screen.
 The story is based on the events that followed in the life of a cer- tain young man who was proclaim ed America's greatest hero. The tragedies that dogged his footsteps, and caused millions of Americans to wonder whether fatne is worth while after all are woven iEto one of the most interesting end com pletely absorbing stories that have come out of Hollywood Tn many months. The moving picture review editor in Liberty magazine gave 1t three stars and in the course of her review stated II could not help but be reminded of certain vacant nursery as watched this IIcture. W The companions sfeaturei is Beau ty And The Boss" adapted from the stage hit '"The Church Mouse.
 The insta antaneous success of "The Church Mouse soon had many movie producers bidding for the screen rights. Warner Brothers, re- .alizing that the ,storysfitted perfeot. ly with the personality and ability of Marian Marsh, outbid all other companies, and "The Church Mouse" was put into immediate production under the title of "Beauty And The Boss.
 Miss Marsh plays the role of an efficient but unattractive secretary to Warren William for whom she has a deep admiration. But not un- til she learns all about the Love Methods Of A Modern Girl does she win the eye and the heart of MT William. How she accompltshes this end forms the basis of the story.
 Charles Butterworth's dry whim- sies make delightful contribution to the general gaiety of the theme. Sex appeal is supplied In large doses by Mary Doran. Lillian Bond. Polly. Walters, Yola D'Avril and Barbara Leonard. Others in the cast are David Manners and Fred erick Kerr. ].

 The town of Malargue, apparent ly in the region worst affected, is about 200 miles north of Mendoza and near the Chilean frontier. The town is about 190 miles southeast of Santiago. Sanfrafael is half way between Malargue and Mendoza.
 The Volcanoes in action are all in the Malargue area.
 Santiago, Chile, April 12. (UP) Three volcanoes in the Andes that sent shower of ashes from Pacific to Atlantic darkened many Chilean towns to-day and threat ened to damage or destroy several communities.
 Santiago, which had escaped the ash shower because prevailing winds carried it eastward to Ar gentina and the Atlantic, received its first "cinder rain" late yester- day and was promised more to- day, accompanied by volcanic gases.
 The volcanoes in action were identified by Chilean authorities as Tinguiririca, DescabeZado Grande (Great Beheaded) and Descabeza- do Khico (Little Beheaded).
 The meteorological observatory sent airplane scouts to report on the eruptions. Capt Ralph Wooten, air attache at the United embassy, flew close to the volcanoes but said it was so dark he could not see his instrument board. There was no chance to take photographs The peaks range from 16,000 to 23,O0O feet in altitude and the nearest is about 200 miles south east of Santiago.
