He was dark, with black hair

at the far end Of the Upper

He accompanied Pippin along

from it.

A strain to keep laughing
merrily; to feign indifference
when Kathleen talked of Kevin.
She was relieved when her
friend went home.
She went down to the lake
and sat there in the moonlight.
She saw boats skim across the
darkly shining waters: heard
young sweet voices sing.

she went often over the trail
to DeSolation Valley. The bleak
lost outpost suited her mood.
They call it valley. Not a
flower blooms; not a patch of
grass shows. A gray, outstretch-
ing waste broken with harsh
crags; here and there are rock
piles; shafts of granite rise like
tombs and all around, the wild
cliffs go vertically to puncture
gauntly on the summer sky. A
place for Dante's fields of the
damned.
1t seemed to Pippin walls

down forever.
She flung out her hands and
thought, frantic: Il can't stand
it,"
She walked back and forth
until suddenly spent with her
violence, she had to lean against
the crags. She hated these mo-
mentS of weakness because then
she couldn't fight off the memory
of a night when Kevin held her
in his arms and they listened to
a song that told of love un-
dying. His eyes possessed her.
She felt yet his lips closing with
sweet wild tenderness on hers.
Her heart beat fast. She grew
afraid. Afraid of herself and
the tumult that drove her on
these long Furnishing tramps.
Sometimes she would sit
blankly and contemplate her
future. See herself walking
into the laboratory; hanging
up her hat; standing before a
drab table; making dull, un-
exciting blood-counts; filling out
charts. Day after day.
Mounting Rage
Kevin would be working
there, too. They would pass
each other and bow, colder
than strangers.
He would see her growing
thin-a poor, starved, pallid
thing. Her rage against him
mounted.
She thought of Gregg whom
she had sent away: of Bill
who had loved her so. She
put her hands to her face and
was weeping.
Sometimes Dadee, almost 18

would follow on these hikes.
He adored Pippin and now
suffered because she seemed
no longer pretty. He didn't
like the enormous blaze of her
eyes, the vivid brightness of
her hair and the utter pallor
of her face against the red.
painted lips.
She talked brightly but
there was a brittle vivacity
that worried Helena and often
caused old Jonathan to peer at
her sharply as he sat on the
porch under the great tamarak
tree reading newspapers two
days old.

ACE OF MUSICALS
 AT STATE TO-DAY
Filtration Walk Features Dick Powell and Ruby
 Keeler Once More

The screens first military musi- cal production, "Flirtation Walk" l is to be seen at Warmers State Theater today to Wednesday with Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Pat O'Brien in the leading roles.
 Never before has 8 happier com bination of youth, talent, music, suspense and beauty ben brought to the screen.
 Keeler and Powell are perhaps
 the country's most papular screen lovers. Their work in this pie ture will greatly increase that popularity. Both show real dra- matic ability. Pat O'Brien, al- ways a mans actor, is better even
 than he was in "20 Million Sweet ehearts" or Here Comes the Navy"
 There are two spectacular dance numbers that will make
 their director, Bobby Connolly famous. One is the first screen Reproduction of an Hawaiian luau,
 or Fest of Love-" in which scores of native Hawaiian dancers and
 musicians participate. The other
 was filmed at West Points his toric "Flirtation Walk" in which SCOL CS Ol bkAO AAOoS 0CdN- tiful girls in Hollywood are seen. Another enchanting West Point spectacle presents the traditional "Hundreth Night Play' of the Academy, and the June gradual ton ceremonies are worked into the plot as we'll as scenes on the parade grounds, the famous pro- menade, "Flirtation Walk" from which the picture takes it's title, and the Kissing Rock where no maiden dare deny her lover. These scenes were all taken at , the Academy under the super
 vision of the War Department with many officers, their wives and
 daughters and West Point cadets appearing in the sequence.
 Powell sings three catchy songs
 in the West Point spectacle. They were written especially for the production by the famous team of songsters, Allie Wrubel and Mort Dixon. These include "Mr and Mrs Is The Name, probably the most tuneful of all, the title
 song, "Flirtation Walk" and "No
 Horse, No Wife, No Moustache."
 In the Hawaiian sequence he also
 sings native Hawaiian songs and an original by Sol Hoopii. And
 never has Powell sung with more telling effect than in this pie
 ture.
 Ruby Keeler never was more
 sweet and winsome than as the
 generals daughter in love with

 a cadet, but whose romance is ! beset by many tempestuous

 Out of every 100 words spoken into CBS microphones by members of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition during the past 52weeks, approxi- mately 67 have been intelligibly rec ceived in New York, according to E. K. Conan, technical director of the Columbia Broadcasting System. The series of Little America broad- casts has just completed the first year of transmission over 10000 mile short-wave Circuit.
 Cohan discloses that the voice signals as received here have had an average of 66.75 per cent intel Eligibility. In three of the weeks, however, New York radio engineers failed to pick up the expedition's s signals, so that an average of 71 per cent intelligibility has been maintained in the remaining 49 broadcasts.

 With the pair in the leading roles, that the picture would be well worthwhile was a foregone conclu. sion. Yet the entire excellence ot this screen offering was far beyond the expectations of this reviewer.
 The story seemed to be made of the cast, always an indication of capable performances by every player and of understanding and intelligent work by the director.
 The performance of May Robson in her role of Patsy Patterson, an aged derelict of the streets, is the finest this accomplished player has rendered since her Apple Annie of Lady for a Day." while Miss Lom- bard's portrayal of the sophisticat-
