light emission by variable stars, stars whose magnitude changes either irregularly or quite period ically.
 In these articles, we have fre- quently had occasion to call atten- ton to the variable star Algol, the Demon Star, Beta Persei, whose changes in magnitude are so great that they can be seen with the un- aided eye and were discovered be- fore the invention of the telescope. In the case of Algol these period ic fluctuations in magnitude are due to the fact that Algol is com posed of two bodies, one of which is much less bright than the other. It is when the darker component is between us and the brighter one that the great change takes place. The eclipse of the lesser one by the brighter was first accurately recorded by the sensitive photoelec- tric cell; until then the darker body was considered to be entirely with out light emission.
 Arcturus is a first magnitude star which is easily found in the sky by the use of the handle of the Great Dipper as a guide. The Dipper is now high in the sky at map-time with the handle extend ing eastward. If you prolong the curve of the handle toward the southeast it will lead you to a very bright star of distinctly yellowish hue. This is, of course. Arcturus, and the surrounding stars belong to it's constellation, Bootes, the Herdsman. Arcturus is Alpha Alpha Bootis; the constellation name is pronounced with two 'oh" sounds following one another and not like the usual pronunciation of the double o. as in the word "boot". At the present time this star is

In The Local TheaterS "Men Must Fight"
 ls Strand Feature

A fine drama that entertains and at the same time stimulates feeling and thought is Metros ''Men Must Fight'' which begins two day en- gagement at the Strand today.
 From the standpoint of acting and direction the picture is excep- tional. Few screen plays can boast a cast of such varied talents as that presented by Diana Wynyard, the English actress who scored in "Rasputin and the Empress' and "Cavalcade,"; the veteran character star, Lewis Stone; Phillips Holmes of American Tragedy" fame, May Robson. Ruth selwyn, Robert Young. Robert Greig, Hedda Hop- per, Donald Dillaway, Mary Car lisle and Luis Alberni, all of whom excell in roles which offered leeway for dramatic fireworks.
 Edgar Selwyn, who attracted wide attention by his direction of The Sin of Madelon Claudet," again wins distinction for his fine handling of the cast and the man. ner in which he keeps the story moving. "The 1940 scenes, showing brilliantly moved settings and en- tiredy new styles in gowns, are im- pressive. "Men Must Fight is the story of woman's fight to prevent her son from being forced into war. The boy Is the son of a man who lost his life in the last war. When the mother marries again, this time becoming the wife of an American secretary of state, she uses here influence to prevent war, only to learn that when the flags start waving, men must fight.
 The companion feature is ""The Constant Woman" with Conrad Nagel and Leila Hyanls.
 Friday and Saturday the Strand will offer "Air Mail' and "The Cohens and Kellys in Trouble" and as an added attraction Little Frankie" Melluzzo and his orches- tra, on the stage. This band is the current hit of radio station WDRC and offers 8 complete novelty re- pertoire of current hits. There will be no advance in prices on Friday and Saturday for this added stage attraction.

Bette Davis Opens
 at Siaie To-day

A cosmopolitan, sophisticated at- mosphere provides the background for the film which marks the rise of blonde Bette Davis to stardom. Her tremendous success in pictures during the past year resulted in Warner Bros giving her the star ring role in "Ex-Lady," which opens today at the State theater.
 Her pert and vivacious manner, coupled with her own type of charm, is given as the reason why "Ex-Lady" was considered as ideal for her first starring vehicle.
 The story is laid in the environ ment of New York's Bohemia the colorful atmosphere of the ar- tist colony-with other scenes laid in Havana casinos and night clubs. Against this shifting scene is played the story of two young people, each with a career and with advanced ideas which make love and mar riage more of a problem to them than it is to workaday folk. Their solution provides the story with a clever and novel climax.
 A notable cast of players sup ports Miss Davis in her initial star ring vehicle. Gene Raymond, no- ted for his work both on stage and screen, is seen in the leading masculine role. Others in the cast are Frank McHugh, Monroe Ows- ley, Claire Dodd, Kay Strozzi, Fer dinand Gottschalk, Alphonse Eth- fer and Bodil Rosing.
 The companion feature is Zane Grey's finest story. "The Mysterious Rider" with two new western stars Kent Taylor and Lona AndreA Par amount has surrounded them with a splendid supporting cast includ- ing Irving Pichel, Gale Patrick and Warren Hymer. Saturday brings Mary Pickford and Leslie Howard in the new sensation, Secrets"

boys and girls to the number of 70 are the cleverest juvenile enter tainers in the city and will offer a program of song, dance. and music that has never been equalled by local talent in this city, and re- fleets great credit on Bill ClasDy and Ed. Keenan, who have put great deal of time and effort with their little charges to secure the marked success they have attain ed. They will appear on the stage at 3:O0 p. m. and S:00 p. m. The feature photoplays are "The Con- stant Woman" with Conrad Nagel and Leila Hyams and "Goldie Gets Along with Lila Damita and Charles Morton. The various in- fiuences exerted 6ver three persons by a beautiful woman after her death is the central idea of the feature "The Constant Wom- an." Working at loggerheads, the trio who have previously been the best of friends narrowly avert real tragedy as the story unfolds. Claire Windsor as the beautiful actress mother; Conrad Nagel, her hus- band; Tommy Conlon, her son, and Leila Hyams, as the Constant Woman" presents a quartet of players that is excellent through out. Victor Schertzinger directed the picture. Lili Damita, dancer, singer, actress and the personifi- cation of exuberance, has in the RKO-Radio picture "Goldie Gets Along" which is the companion picture a chance to toss her charm and beauty at you in the enchant- ing way that is peculiarly hers. She pouts and then laughs. She in- vites and then runs away. She is sweetly agreeable and then explodes. She is just Goldie, a little girl from a small town with an inno- cent baby stare that makes the wisest of them fall for her. "Goldie Gets Along" is compounded of TO- nance, adventure and comedy and is said to be an admirable vehicle for the beautiful Lili Damita. Others in the cast are Charles Nor ton, and Sam Hardy. It's an adapta- tion by William A. Drake of Haw- thorne Hurst's novel, directed by Malcoml St Clair. The extra at traction tomorrow night will be Auction Circus.

According to the published plans. the great Worlds Fair in Chicago will be opened officially by the star Arcturus. A telescope will be turned on this star and it's light allowed to enter a photoelectric cell attached to the instrument When light strikes the sensitive sub sances contained in the cell, a stream of electrons, in effect an electric current, is released; by proper amplification of this small current, relays and switches will be actuated in such 9 way that all the lights of the exposition grounds will be turned on simultaneously. Photoelectric cells or light-sensi- tive cells are comparative new corners in commercial engineering practice but have been known to physicists and astronomers for many years. The talking pictures depend on such cells for trans posing markings on the celluloid films into sound and speech. For many years they have been uncer- tain toys of the physical laboratory but as far back as twenty years ago they were put to. work in as- tronomy for the measurmement and recording of the changes in

Irene Franklin Now
 Radio Red- Head, Too

The theater's most popular red head, Irene Franklin, is now on the air. Beginning tonight, the stage and vaudeville favorite makes her radio debut in a semi-weekly series of song programs over a National Broadcasting company network, and will be heard each Wednesday and Friday evening thereafter.
 Versatile Irene, who will present her radio act at 10:15 D. m. (erst over an NBC-WJZ hook up, began her career in a straight" role as child actress in an Augustus Thomas play. Some years later she switched to vaudeville, and swept into nationwide popularity with her famous song, Red Head, Red Head, Gingerbread Head"
 From that time Miss Franklin has been a headliner in every thea- ter in which she appears. She toured the country many times in variety, and also starred in musical comedies, her latest being Jerome Kern's melodious hit, Sweet Ade- dine"
 As preliminary to the opening of her new NEG series of pro- grams, Miss Franklin appeared be- fore the microphone on April 30 as guest star in a special program for disabled veterans, broadcast from NEG studios in New York, Chicago and Washington.
 Her distinct style of singing which has made the sorrel-topped Irene one of the highest priced stage artists is exactlv shifted to such popular numbers as Be Your Age" and My Husbands First Wife" which Miss Franklin sings in her May 3 program. She will be assisted by Jerry Jarnagin, we'll known piano purveyor of hot rhythms, who will play modern number in the Franz Liszt style.

 Hol1ywood-After looking at the first days rushes of his initial mo- ton picture, Eve" Emil Jannings was so disappointed that he ran out of the studio and sshid out" so thoroughly that it took studio scouts two days to find him and take him back so that the picture could be finished.
 When she was working in Ger man pictures, Pola Negri would just about tear down the studio over little thing such as not lik- ing the flowers in her dressing room.
 Marlene Dietrich was noted all over Berlin for her frankness and her devotion to her small daughter, Maria, long before Americans ever heard of her.
 Such is some of the information regarding our popular foreign stars revealed by Karl Freund. who re- gently directed Boris Karloff in '"The Mummy" Freund, for years men in Europe, photographed many known as one of the best camera of the outstanding German and American pictures before his recent OAStAsAVh " e AAA ACStVAA1t POSks
 stars may fool other people but they can't fool their cameramen- we know all there Is to know about them," he declares.
 
 The 237 extras working in My Lips Betray" a few days ago were a happy crowd. It was beer gar den scene and the extras were be- ing paid $5 to $7.50 a day each to sit there and drink real beer all day long.
 Una Merkel is firmly convinced that a dancers career isn't in her line at all. When starting a recent picture, in which she had to do some dancing, the first instruction she received was to learn how to do a "cart-wheep.
 The blond actress thought that the best way to learn this maneu- yer would be to stand on her head against the wall. Assuming this po- sition was no trouble at all. But every time she tried to come out of 1t, she landed in a heap on the floor.

group. On the east side of Bootes is small circle of. stars called the Northern Grown, Corona Borealis. The brightest star is Gemma, the Jewel, of the second magnitude. In the region of the sky covered by Coma Berenices and part of Virgo. stretching, in fact, as far as Ursa Major, nebulae of the extra-galac- tic class are found in remarkable numbers. These nebulae are mostly of the spiral type:. the trm extra- galactic is applied to them be- cause they lie far outside of the Milky Way system, our galaxy, to which belong the sun and all the stars visible to us, with the excep- ton of the stars found in this very class of celestial objects. Accord- ing to Prof Shapley of Harvard these Coma-Virgo nebulae form a physically united group of star sys- tems containing perhaps as many as three hundred individual nebu-' lac. About forty such clusters of galaxies have been found in differ
 ent parts of the sky.

well to the eastward of the mer< idian but by the date set for the opening of the exposition. June 1, it will be practically on the meridian.
 One of the reasons given for the selection of Arcturus for this honor is that it's distance from the earth is just about Al light-years: in other words, the light which will be used for the great event will have left Arcturus at the time of the last Chicago Worlds Fair in 1892-3. Its magnitude is 0.24 and 1t is the sixth star in brightness as seen from the earth. In actual luminosity it is equal to one hum dred suns like ours.
 Westward from Bootes lies tho constellation of Coma Berenciess which means the Hair of Berenices It is named after queen of Egypt who Is said to have sacrificed her glorious tresses on the altar of the gods for the safe return from war of her husband Ptolemy. Most of the stars of this constellation be- long together to an open cluster like the Pleilades and the Hyades in Taurus.

Now it is explained why John Barrymore won't leave this solid aerth, despite the fact that most of his friends are flying enthusiasts. Back in 1910, while appearing in a show in Chicago, Barrymore went up in plane as a publicity stunt for his show. The plan was for him to make the first flight as a lone passenger, and if he liked it to go up again accompanied by Mrs Bar rymore.
 "When we landed, the pilot said he thought there was something wrong with the motor and wanted
