THE MERRY WIDOW MUSICAL
ROMANCE, COMING TO THEATRE

If 13-year-old girl had not attended
skating rink in Vienna, THE Merry
Widow glamorous Franz Lehar must
cal romance, might never have been
born
This interesting story, told by Lehar
himself is repeated by jeanette Mac
Donald, co-starred with Maurice Chew
aHer in Ernst Lubitsch's spectacular
production of the operetta, which comes
Sunday. Monday, Tuesday, to the Koot-
enai Theatre
Lehar, she relates, was military
bandmaster, with aspiration to write
opera. He had completed "Kukuschka"
and needed librettist.
Stein became interested, listened 70
Lehar's band at the famous Prater and
wrote him a letter asking if he were
still opera minded
Thus formed the combination of
Lehar, Stein, and Victor Leon, and they
created THE Merry Widow with
Lehar's music, STEMS libretto and
Icons lyrics.
As produced by Lubitsch at the
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer studios, it is
marked by huge and spectacular set
tings, gorgeous costumes, and retains
the entire Franz Lehar score, the fam
Gus waltz, such song hits as Villa, Y
I'm Going to Maxim's" and the rest,
embellished by colorful Albertina
Rasch ballets.

FEMININE CURVES
COME INTO FAVOR

The perennial question of the great
American figure is before us again,
and this time the consensus is decided
we are TO have feminine curves this
year.
Not the Mae Westian curves of yes

Gibson girl. but happy compromise
"a return to natural contours.
Rosina Mcdowell Lynn, of the Nc
Dowell school of costume design says
the new trend toward natural curves
is all due TO Mussolini and Hitler, and
their policy of encouraging women to
concentrate on the nursery.
She says the American figure follows
the trend of the times, toward a more
normal state of mind, and predicts
that the spinach-and- grapefruit diets
of the last few years are on the way
out.

HARNEsSED WIND

A YOUNG man twenty-one years old
happened to see a bad railroad
accident. "If the brakes had only
held" the engineer said before he died,
II could have stopped in time" The
young mans name was George M.
Westinghouse and it Is one Of the uni
versal names now. He invented the
air brake.
With the courage of his convictions,
he talked his way into the Office of one
Of the most important railroad men in
America. He began to tell this cap
tain of industry what he had made
that would insure the safety of pas
sengers on the trains. The magnate
laughed. "Do you mean to say you can
stop a train with windr'
"Why, yes" said the young man, 'if
you want to put it that way"
"Pve got no time tc waste on fools"
was the railroad mans reply.
But soon afterwards, the official was
present at demonstration CT the new
tangled invention. He saw a train COM
ing at full speed down a clear stretch
of track Would the air-brake work ?
Only George Westinghouse knew that
it would. But he was not prepared
for the successful climax 10 the demon
stration. The brake was applied too
suddenly and the train stopped so
abruptly that it jumped the trackl
The air-brake made high speed rail-
reading possible. 1t is one of the most
tremendous trifies Of the machine age
