DOUBLE FEATURE
 ON STRAND BILL
''LimehOuse Blues" Heads Attractions Opening To-
 morrow Afternoon

At, the Strand tomorrow and Monday patrons will find an excel lent double feature program in- cluding "Limehouse Blues" with George Raft, Jean Parker, Anna May Wong, Kent Taylor and Mon- tague Love. The second feature is sBabbitt" with Guy Kibbee, Aline MacAIahon, Maxine Doyle, Claire Dodd and others.
 Monday the Strand will present its annual gaia New Years eve midnight party offering as the big attraction, of a deluxe double fea- ture program, RKO.Radi0's musi- cal comedy smash "The Gay Di- yorcee." It Is a high-speed enter tainmefit with no time for parking and co-stars Fred Astaire and Gin- ger Rogers, the delightful pair who made sue ha hit in Flying Down to Rio."
 In the story Fred meets Gin ger under strange circumstances, too amusing to rob of it's punch by telling, and he chases her hithet' and yon in a frantic effort D c1inch their romance.
 She runs because she loves him but that can't be explained either, without revealing one of the smartest situations of the season. Finally, through mistaken identity, she issues him strange invitation which results in a conglomerate mixup of loves and romance and people in one hotel suite!
 The climax is a happy one, and the story Is so entertaining that it could stand even without the remarkable song and dance fea- lures.
 The cast includes Edward Everett Horton as a dumb Eng fish barrister; Alice Brady, who causes him to try every device to avoid marrying her: William Aus tin as a "meaney husband" Erik Rhodes as debonaire professional Romeo, and Eric Blore as the fun niest English butler seen on the screen in ages.
 The film was adapted from As- taire's international stage hit, of the same title, which ran 2S8 per- formances in New York and six months in London.
 Musical hits introduced include Might and Day" Don't Let 1t Bother You" "Lokoing For 8 Needle In Haystack," "The Con- tinentap' and Knock Kneeze." :" The companion feature will be ''The Firebird" strange and fas- cinating romance set in the back ground of Austria's gay capital. ycrree Teasdale, Ricardo Cortez, Lionel Atwill and Anita Louise head the cast.

CAPITOL

The Fox Film presentation of "Peck's Bad Boy" which will be seen at the Capitol theater, begin ming Sunday, was acclaimed by Hollywood critics at it's preview showings as "new American classic" and "a vital human docu- ment for every man and woman"
 That brilliant and appealing young player. Jackie Cooper, is the star of this human film story. Jackie is seen as a fine two-fisted boy who is nearly crowded out of his fathers life and affections through the plotting of an unprin- cipled aunt and her no less un" principal son. To judge from advance reports, no story of boy hood has brought to the screen profounder understanding or a more touching situation.
 Adults will find particular ap-

 Hollywood-When l wander around the United Artists studio and find a policeman stationed at the entrance to one of the huge stages, I know that Anna Sten is working inside.
 The Russian actress insists upon this seclusion during her moments of emoting before the cameras. All visitors, including studio employees not actually engaged on the pie ture, are barred. There is only one exception-Samuel Goldwyn, her boss.
 So have Goldwyn to thank for getting 8 glimpse of Miss Sten in action for her new film, "The We'd ding Night" As I was with him, the officer couldn't deny me admit tance. We arrived on the set just before Director King Vidor called ''cut." A moment later we were chatting with the lovely Anna.
 "Why all this secrecy about your picture?" I inquired. ..
 Because I can work better" frankly replied the blond actress, And I feel that it is my duty to give my very baset performance in every picture.
 Please belive that I'm not put ting on an act. It's just a case of visitors being distracting. You see, making pictures is so different from the theater, where the actors and spectators are separated by the stage footlights.
 Here we all are grouped to- gether Because of the mechanics, a number of persons must be pres ent. But they are tending to their own duties and don't give you the feeling of being watched. Visitors are different. Instinctively you feel they are watching you. Private No Longer

 Many people wonder how

 singing star of "T'fe Gibson
 FamiIy," heard Saturdays at
 9 D. m, c. s. t. over the NBC
 red network, can do popular
 songs as we'll as he does with
 with a grand opera back
 ground. The truth ts that the
 first dollar he earned from
 music came from Q job sing
 ing vocal chOruses with
 dance band that played one

 Maestro Frank Black and Jane Froman, stars of those Pontiac automobile shows heard Sundays at 1O:SO p. m. ever the NEG red network, are throwing Christmas s bers of the cast immediately af- ter the broadcast of December 23rd. And 1t is going to be a real old-fashioned Christmas par. ty, with a tree, ice cream and CAke LOr TeLreSuIneHtS anu a. uOA of Xmas candy and an orange for everybody! Jane has been doing all the shopping for the party and there'll be gift for everyone hung on the tree.
 Freddy Martin, who has been playing host to the var. ious out of town guest stars on the CBS "Open House" program for several months, voices the opinion that the term ''lnike fright" is rapidly passing out of use. He states that notwithstanding the fact that none of the visiting are lists had ever broadcast over network before, not one of them manifested the slightest timidity.

The poor announcer is out in the cold again-but he doesn't mind iti The new hour on Fri days at 10:30 p. m. over the NEG red network has done away with announcements as means of Identifying numbers-musical pre-. ludes are used by Frank Black, the programs director, to describe the selection. And the announcer doesn't mind a bit--there's more good music for him to listen to and, what's more important, his working >day has been reduced quite a lot!
 There is no real clash be- tween popular" and "class- ica1' music. Such Is the opin. ion of Phil Spitalny, director of the Hour of Charm over CBS. Popular music of the war days and postwar era was crude and abriglnal," explains the maestro. "Blar- ing brasses and tOm-tO rhy- thms were anything but sooth- ing in those days. It was the stOnease era of popular music in America. Today the brass es have been softened, the rhythm refined. Beautiful music is the rule and not the exception We are still iD & period of experimentation, but we have discovered that even popular music can be lovely and original"
 Roxy, veteran impressario of radio, is engaged in preparing new serial which will depict the dramatic highlights of radio from early days up to the present. Roxy is perhaps better qualified for such an undertaking than anyone identified with radio, and plans to utilize the talent of many stars who made their air debuts under his sponsorship.
 Herb Kingsley, singing and piano-playing member of the team of Kingsley and Chase heard with Roxy on Satur- days at $ D. m. over CBS, found his greatest luxury in the weeks vacation between the duo's appearances at Q New York and Philadelphia night club. He was able to 40 without . shave for two days and didn't have to wear a tuxedo-a degree of conn fort he hadn't experienced for long time!

ENDS DISPUTE
[Continned from FIR Paael


Jurisdiction over important oyster
beds.
In supporting its claims within
the 12-mile circle around New Castle
the State of Delaware traced titles
back to a deed from the Duke of
York to William Penn. delivered on
August "a, 1852. New Jersey contest
ed the right of the Duke of York to
deed the land, but Justice CardOza
Overruled the objections and found
Delaware's claim valid.
The justice ruled the title to the
soil of the lower river and bay was
unaffected by any grant to the Duke
of York or others. He found that
up to the time when New Jersey and
Delaware became independent states
the title to the soil under the waters
below the circle was still in the
crown of England. when indepen-
dence was achieved" he said, the
precepts to be obeyed in the division
of the waters were those of interna-
tional law.
international law today divides
the river boundaries between the
states by. the middle of the main
channel, when there Is one, and net

LOOMS ON CODE
CConfinued from First Pagtj

completed, to submit it to the Cen
eral Assembly for adoption. 1t has
to be read from cover to cover i'm
the Senate and then in the House.
Twenty years ago when the existing
code was adopted the Legislature
was i'm session about ten days. The
reading of the code was carried on
day and night until it had been COM
pleted.
II is understood the new code will
be ready for submission to the Legis-
lature some time about next October.
1t will not be necessary, however,
to submit it Immediately. 1t may be
held over until the regular session
of the General Assembly in 1885. but
in view of the fact that it is desir-
iOus of having the new code effective
as of January 1, 1885, it is probable
it will be submitted for adoption at
a special session of the General As
sembly before the 1885 Legislature
cOnvenes.
Business before the Legislature at
a special session called to adopt the
code would not be limited to the con-
of the code alone. Other
matters may be submitted but the
reading of the code takes so much
time there is generally no opportuni-
ty for the consideration of anything
else.

An why your corn beats it so on
climbs,
I'd give a deal to know"
Said Farmer Gray to his neighbor
Jones,
In his easy, quiet way,
When prayers get mixed with lazy
bones,
They don't make farmin' pay.
Your weeds, l notice, are good an
In spite of all your prayers;
You may pray for corn till the
heavens fall,
If you don't dig up the tares.
Il mix my prayers with a little toll,
along in every row:
An | work this mixture into the soil
Quite Vigorous with a hoe.
An I've discovered, though still in
sin,
As sure as you are born,
This kind of compost well worked in
Makes pretty decent corn.
so while I'm praying use my hoe,
An do my level best
To keep down the weeds along each
row,
An the Lord, He does the rest.
ITS well to pray both night and
morn,
As every farmer knows;
But the place to pray for thrifty corn
Is right between the rows.
You must use your hands while
praying, tho,
If an answer you would get;
For prayer-worn knees an a rusty
hoe
Never raised a big crop yet.
An so l believe, my good old friend,
If you mean to win the day,
From plowin' clean to the harvest's
end,
You must hoe as well as pray"
