 Bing Crosby, as the romantic musical comedy star. provides not only his customary capable voice, but also adds to his rapidly-gath- ering acting laurels. A long list of noted comedians, including Jack Oakie, Skeets Gallagher, Harry Green. Ned Sparks and sammy Cohen, provide the laughs, md there are plenty.
 Y "Too Much Harmony" Is the story of a musical comedy troupe between the finish of one season. and the start of the next. Love and laughter and song sem to be as much a part of the everyday life of the troupers as 1t is of their theater life.
 Outstanding in the film are two chorus numbers, "Buckin' The Wind" and Black Moonlight" On the strength of these two specta. cular routines, DeRoy Prinz can be stamped as one of Hollywood's s best dance directors. Edward Su- therlapd; who directed the picture. is a specialist in comedy, and the present picture is one of his best. E The important feminine roles are taken by Judith Allen, one of Para mounts newest young players, Iil- van Tashman, Kitty Kelley and Grace Bradley. One of the pic- ture's better scenes is one between Miss Tashman, Q trifle tfpsy, and Oakie, impjersonating a wealthy Texas cattle man.
 'It's the finest of 1933's choice crop of screen musicals and Q pie ture that should create new attend ance records at the popular State.

NUDE MODELS
 DESERT PARIS

Paris (UP)-The dangerous lad ies. who used to earn their liveli- hood posing in the nude for the painters of Montparnasse have staged migration to other climes ---in other words, artists models now are rare in the Latin Quartier.
 When art was in full bloom, young women fiocked to studios here from all corners of the world. Stockholm sent It's blondes, New York It's stately-limbed queens, Spain her lark senoritas, while even almond-eyed maidens from the Orient hit the trail.
 Good models were in demand and hard to find. Painters like Van Dongen and Foujita. paid hundreds of francs daily for their models. Other young women, who made art an excuse to come here to display their shapely lines al- ways could depend on earning ten francs an hour posing, although the price might include such sundfy jobs as washing the artists spare shirt and cooking q meal In his canned kitchen.
 But the crisis has hit. both ar- lists and models. The artists went first. Home they went--to Berlin, Chicago, London or Vienna, leav- ing a mountain of bills.
 The models. with no artists left have had to find other fields.

 TheaterS
PALACE

 "Penthouse," starring Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy, and the CO., feature Trick for Trick, the double current bill at the Palace will be shown for the last times to-day.
 "The Power and the Glory" with Spencer Tracy and Colleen Moore, will open Saturday for a four day run. This picture is told in Mar ratage" which has beenz hailed as sensationally new method or film story narration. It is method so strikingly simple and direct 1t has unusual force. An old man merely sits down with his wife and tells the story of his bent friends life, tells 1t with sympathy and un- derstanding he compels ycu 70 share. The story assumes an im- portance, power and dignity, under this method of narration, which no conventional writing could nave given 1t.
 Ralph Morgan, as e narrator, describes the relations of the char acters with a sympathy and pa- tience no dramatist himself could have assumed. His account of events in the life of Tom Garner makes no man or woman villain or viilainess. Each behaves ac. cording to his mold or destiny and the relations of all lead to hollow and impressive tragedy.
 Spencer Tracy in the role of rom Garner gives a matchless per- formance. He never has had n more exacting role, or one which he handled with such sure skill and finish. Colleen Moore who comes back to the screen after four years to play his ambitious |svife, will amaze the fans who re- member her as only a fetching madcap. She proves herself an actress of genuine depth. Scenes between Tracy and Miss Moore are beautiful when there is beauty in their mood, agonizing when there is discord. "The Power and the Glory" is a pioneer in shattering the strict conventions of plot con- struction. It is 6 gripping and a fascinating film.
 This picture thrilled New York at $2.00 a ticket but will be shown at this popular playhouse at pop ular prices.

 The short visit of these expert and graceful aviators was receiv- cd especially well this year because of the unusual annoyance caused by insects.

 After c short sojourn the bird heads southward. in about mid- September, feeding as 1t goes on aerial insects. The birds are gray, with white bands under the wings. They are noticeable by their grace full and swift flight,

the predicament of Jack Cutting, inexperienced
in wood lore and lost on this lonely mountain.
We must be within couple of miles of the
cabin" Bill shouted after time. Wed bet
ter start keeping sharp lookout because he
might have wandered down here
One things sure" said Bill IF he's any
where around he's bound to hear u.s. The
Wreck is a swell job but it isn't exactly quiet"
They rounded spur of the mountain and
for moment the grade fattened out. On one
side the ground dropped sharply away while
on the other there was slight clearing As
they approached it, Bill who was riding on
that side Of the car suddenly let out yell
Perry" he cried. Slow down. see some
thing white beside the track up there"
Perry throttled the motor down. and the car
came to a stop without the necessity of apply
ing the brakes. They hoped off allowing
the motor to idle and placing rocks behind
the wheels to hold the Wreck Then they
hurried along the track to where a bit Of
white cloth lay sharply outlined against the
black ballast Of the right of way
Perry reached it first. He stopped over and
picked up the cloth, which was several inches
wide and more than foot long. Tensey he
and Bill examined it.
Jack Cutting has been around here, sure
as the world" cried Perry. This looks like
a piece of his shirt
"And it has blood on it." said Bill his voice
intended for a bandage"
COR a moment they gazed at each other
mutely. Then Perry, whose eyes had
strayed to the underbrush gave a grunt Of
surprise. He ran forward and picked I'D

half concealed under brush
Its his gun" he said excitedly And every
cartridge has been fired"
Bill was about to speak when suddenly there
was an ominous rattle almost at their feet
With yell Bill leaped backward to the track,
and Perry was almost as quick. That sound
meant only one thing-danger!
"Rattlesnakes!" yelled Bill They looked
around fearfully, then Bill uttered a gasp of
amazement. Look thereon that pile Of
rocks" he cried. "Swarms of them!"
few feet away from the tracks was a pile
OF rocks. on which the late morning sun was
now pouring. And there summing themselves
on the warm stones were literally dozens Of
rattlers of all Sizes
boy, let's get out of here!" said Perry
Both he and Bill knew that a rattlesnake can
strike only its own length and that you are
safe II you keep your distance from It, but
neither had any desire to be near the poison

Bill was standing in thoughtful silence
Finally he spoke.

that's the story of what happened to Jack
