STATE

This afternoon at 1 o'clock the Warner State presented the pre- miere performance of another grand and glorious stage and screen show, which will continue tomorrow, Sunday and Monday.
 On the screen is that exotic com cdy by Ferenc Molnar, The Good Fairy' starring beautiful Margaret Sullavan, who has produced three distinct hits in succession for supported by an excellent cast in- Morgan. Reginald owen and Beu- lah Bondi.
 The adaptation of the Molnar fantasy has been wrought to re- tain all the bubbling mirth of the original plus that soupcon of path os that points the comedy so cf- fectiveiy. And the drama, played as 1t is by a quartctte of Holly woods most adept thespians, rates tops for universal film fun. And that "universaW may be spelled with a big "U", as well, In com plimcnt to the producers.
 Maybe 1t isn't quite fair to rely on a heroine's name for laugh, but when Margaret Sullavan, the little Orphan Annie of the film, Is introduced as 6 Luisa Gingle- busher, the name, tossed about by such skilled farceurs as the Messra Morgan and owen, becomes good for hilarity at every mention. But even though the fair Luisa's name be Ginglebusher, and such artifices as MT MarshaIl's beard, MT Nor gan's fupny falls and MT Owen'e gcsticulations are made the basis for fun factions, there are plenty of fortnight comic situations, laughable lines and good, sturdy comedy foundation upon which towers of mirthful hokum are erected. On the stage are Ave big Broad. way acts well worth writing home to mother about (and suggesting she or Dad bring the family to see). The show opens with Mary Palmer & Company who present a trained dog and pony act that ia in the remarkable" class. These four-footed friends perform an amazing routine of intelligent tricks and are a joy to watch.
 Wolf and Kaufman have nov city comedy, singing and dancing act that goes over big because oi their clever manner of presenta- ton. At Frank, old man river himself, is amusing in his comedy skit while the Diamond Brothers { top notchers in present day vaude- vile have an offering that literal. Iy brings down the house" with genuine applause. The Duke Nor man and Lee revue closes the sho~ in fitting manner. Here is q revue that belongs on Broadway In a permanent musical comedy. It ii cieverly staged, routined and boast. ing a cast of entertainers who arc individually, q whole show IT themselves. Plan to see this dand,
 bill before 1t leaves town on Mon day night. Attend the matinee be l fore 8 D. m. on Saturday and ayoit 1 the crowds and evening price' which become effective after thai hour. Better bring the kiddies too

By ERNEST LYNN
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent |CALLANDER, Ont, Feb 15 V Trying to define the separate characters of five eight month old babies is somewhat of a task, but Louise de Kiriline, head nurse at Dafoe hospital, where the Dionne quintuplets are quartered, is at least brave enough to make a stab at it.
 You have read. perhaps, that the babies have begun to develop per- sonalities. Very good. But what are they?
 It's not easy, said Madam de Kiriline (everyone calls her Mad amp to put it into words, but this will give you an idea:
 Annette is the mischief maker, always looking for scrap; Yvonne has developed vain little manner isms and bids fair to be a coquet; Marie, says Madam de Kiriline, is 'the Madonna,' more ethereal than her heavier and stronger sisters; Cecile is very good-natured and puts up with lot, especially from Annette; Emelie is harder to de- fine, but, with certain differences, she seems to be following Annette's bent for mischief.
 ANNETTE SHOWS SPIRIT
 ,Jan. 23, says Nurse de Kiriline, was marked down as a great mile- stone of progress in the quintup- lets history, for on that day An- nette. seeing Cecile with & red rat tie in her hand, tried to grab 1t, failed, and then turned over on her tummy and squawked for It. 4 What made the date a red-let- ter one was that it was the first time one of the babies had. shown any real sign of wanting something that someone else had.
 am in position to testify that in her description of Annette and Cecile, for during one of my visits to the hospital l saw Annette open hostilities on her good natured sister, and for q minute or two 1t looked like trouble.
 Both had D c n placed in the same bed temporarily, following their baths, and Annette evidently wanted to be some place else.
 She began to yell and kick and she started to give Cecile @ thor ough overhauling. but the good natured one took 1t all with a smile and q most casual air.
 NURSES HAVE FAVORTTES From all of which 1t is not to bt gathered that Annette is considered bad" On the contrary, if 1t fl possible to say that any of these young ladies is more popular thar her sisters, the vote probabl. would go to Annette for her live liness.
 Nurse Yvonne Leroux's favorite naturally. is little Yvonne, he namesakc, Patrician Mullin, the re lief nurse, Is q bit partial to Marie and you gather that this is tho Irish big-heartedness in Pat cham. pioning the cause of the weakest Madam de Kiriline finds 1t diff fcult to name a favorite. but you

BEWILDER ONE

find in the course of her converse ton that she has a weakness for the scrappy Annette.
 GADGETS BEWILDER ONE
 Among the items of interest that impress the fumbling layman in an inspection of the hospital layout are such gadgets as niD- ples that screw on the battles in- stead of stretching over them; screw-caps of hard rubber which displace such oid-fashioned things as corks; two kinds of high chairs for each quintuplet, and an assort- of laundry each day for the babies.
 And 80 of these are diapers!
 But she adds. diapers are used in more ways than one" ment of beds. playpens, buggies; and other accessories that would knock your eye out.
 Nurse Pat Mullin allowed me to inspect the babies locker. veritable treasure chest of gifts. An invenstorly would be longer than your arm. but 1t may be said that in the matter of dresses, jew elry, booties q believe they call them), and even little dressing gowns the quintuplets are all set for some time to come.

Ut may be well at this point to inform mothers at large that in the matter of diaper technique the modern four-square method is used, as opposed to the older three cornered system.
 SOME DIAPER TECHNIQUE
 In the latter, you remember Cor do you?), you fold the diaper from northeast to southwest, forming 6 triangle, the apex of which points toward. the baby's feet. The other

 substitute for him probably would precipitate a war.
 HE'S HANDY IN NURSERY
 He's such an old hand in the nursery that he knows almost as much about handling the babies as the nurses themselves. The quins seem to be utterly charmed when he's around and are always on their best behavior. And anyone who has seen the pictures he makes will have to admit that he Is something of @ genius with 6 camera and a flash bulb. Fred is versatile, too. At one of the strangest movie previews that | anyone ever witnessed, I saw him operate projector. For an anna teur, he did a good job. The movie was exhibited in the little hospital on the eve of the departure of Oliva and Elzire Dionne for the United States. The film was privately made and will not be exhibited publicly. It now belongs to Dr Allan Roy Dafoe, and 1t Is record, from their birth to fairly recent date, of the quintuplets.
 EAhENIS tEEL SLIGhIED
 The main point of this anecdote, however, Is hat Oliva and Elzire Dionne. who had not yet seen their babies on the screen, were the honor guests at this party, which included nurses, housekeepx CT, Lois Legros (the hospital or- derly), and Father McNally, priest of Corbeil parish; and that they sat through the entire two reels without showing any of the usunl signs of parental pride-without in fact, even smiling. | It was plain to an outside ob. server tha the parents are jealous of ali the attention which is being showered on the quintuplets and has left them comparatively ig- nored.
 Not that one can blame them exactly, either. But perhaps their trip to Chicago and their taste of big city splendors will help to erase any notice they may have had that Ithe world was holding out on them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-15

tow ends are then drawn together about the victim's middle, the apex is drawn up to meet them, and all three are triumphantly fastened to- gether with one safety pin.
 The four-square method, ss practiced at the Dafoe hospital, eliminates the triangle, but re- quires two safety pins.
 Both systems, as in bridge, have their staunch adhcrcnts, with the modern vote apparently going along with the five little sisters of Corbell.
 CAMERAMAN IS "PET'
 Any story of the quintuplets' routine would be incomplete with out mention of the man who takes their pictures for the newspapers.
 Fred Davis Is the official pho- tographer. He lives in Toronto, and 1t is his pleasurable dwty to run up to Callandcr every so often for several days of shutter-snap ping in the Dafoe hospital nurs- cry.
 Fred has been with the quints, off and on, since their birth. He knows most of the natives now and has the confidence of Dr Da- foe, the nursesssand the guardians to such extent that the idea of a
