Selected Poem
POEM FOR AM EXILE

FOEM EOK AN EXILE Beatrice Holman in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Is this your April country Where the tickets were gray spindles And the foaming freshets Spilled blue through brown fields? This blending of emerald and jade Comedian and coral and every shade From the white arms of tall birches Sleeved in brilliant yellow To mountainsides dark in violet shadow? After the sun of Indian summer Has cast its last deceptive glow Over the copper tinted snow Of the Summits- When the hunters moon Sparkles frost-covered fence rails And whitens dark hollows-- Then the country is April cold, And the stars are white candles Clustered above the path. Then in cities men build fires And latch windows and doors No foxes bark within their hearing No bright-eyed raccoon climbs to their moon. But sometimes you who have known October in the northern hills Will pause in moonlit street And remember hill, alone.

The Rockaway Fish Sanctuary. sponsored by the Sheepshead Bay Boatmen's Association, indorsed by anglers throughout the metropoli- tan area and Long Island and ob- jected to by commercial fishing in- terests only on the ground of its proposed situation, is an enterprise to which State and Federal govern ments might devote study. It would attract fish to metropolitan waters and give them place to propagate. Boats which yearly take about 100000 salt water an- glers out of Sheepshead Bay often have to search far for fish; even
 though they sail sometimes almost to Atlantic City the rewards are not as great as they might be. If the advantages of New York as 8

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS
@iswNEA

New York, Nov. 1.-The naked truth of the matter happens to be that Broadway hasn't enough beau- tiful showgirls to go around. And that musical comedy showmen are setting 8 high price on pulchritude.
 George White and Earl Carroll moaned the dearth of doll-faced charmers this season and a lack of lustrous-l looking ladies has delayed the progress of the next "ziegfeld Follies." When the Shuberts, who have inherited the late ''Flo's" glo- rifying role, issued 8 call for com- ely-featured girls, 1900 applicants turned up at the theater. Only 20 survived the test of a closeup and 1880 stagestruck maids were told to go home and forget about the glamor of the bright lights. One girl came with her mother who would also have liked place in the ensemble, despite the greying streaks around the edges of her brunette coiffure. But mother and daughter did none too well.
 It took George White three weeks to assemble 40 showgirls for his new Scandals" and he had the choice mot much choice-of 2000 young ladies who answered his ads. And earlier this year, Earl Carroll damned the Winter Garden with would-be beauties who wanted to be in the "Vanities." Finally, after looking them all over, he was forced to nightly research in the cabarets, vaudeville and fashion shows, for the lovely candidates.
 Trained show girls for Broad ways musicals with previous Fol lies" Scandals" or Vanities" ex- perience are at a premium, am told, because five years is the aver age longevity in the career of lady of the ensemble. After that length of time, a showgirl retires for any of the following reasons: CD She wins a Hollywood contract. (2) She marries for love or for money. (3) She loses her shapely figure. (D She becomes commercial or artists model at a tremendous sa- lary.

Remodels Ambition

That fourth choice reminds me of a popular showgirl in Rialto's extravaganzas whose ambition it was to become a model at the fash- ionable modistes' shops. She spent most of her weeks earnings at the Mannequin school and learned how to walk properly and how to twist and turn in chic garments by Le- long or Patou.
 Finally ,the day arrived when she was pronounced ready to go out into the world as 8 full-fledged model. Twenty-four hours later, she joined 8 nudist colony.

The Invisible Man
 Be Shown Friday

Now that Universal has completed the filming of ''The Invisible Man. coming Friday to the Dream Thea ire, studio spokesman-there are always several explained why a period of more than two years was permitted to elapse between the pur chase of the H. G. Wells story and it's transfer to the screen.
 The problem was how to photo graph instability. The idea of an invisible man is all very we'll in a book, but motion-picture characters have to be shown. The technicianS were consulted, as is the invariable rule. For once they could do little more than shake their heads. Cam era men Snorted at the notion and the individuals responsible for the purchase of the story wore a path in the carpet leading to the executive desk.
 Show the presence of the invis- ible man by spirit wires, moving books, chairs and other articles. Show him by suspending a coat, trousers and hat on wire. Have cloud of steam, or mist, or a shroud of something pass before the camera"
 There were few of the sugges- tions, but the verdict was too ob- vious." It might have been done a few years ago, but not today. And so, for two years the problem was discussed while the precious story accumulated few layers of dust in

the vaults. or closets or filing cabi nets, or wherever it is that stories are kept
 But the invisible man has been photographed and the credit must go to James Whale, the director, Charles Edison, the photographer, and Jack Pierce, the studio makeup experts. After long experiment, they discovered the possibilities of small mirroWs, arranged as the ma gicians employ them in creating op- tical illusions. The mirrors were tried and the problem was no more.
 Claude Rains, who is the pictures invisible man, will be seen walking along, completely dressed and with a hat perched jauntly on what would be a head, if any head were there. On his deathbed his head and shoul- ders will be visible, but the rest of his body will be merely dent in the covers. In another scene he will be shown disrobing and, as his clothes fall away, nothing but in- visibility will remain.
 There will even be some episodes where he will be totally invisible, both to his fellow-players and his audience On first thought it would seem that this would be more diff cult to photograph than the scenes where only part of him is invisible. The naive question was put to Uni versal's oracle, who replied:
 "Oh, no. Whenever he was total lv invisible, the scenes were made without him. MT. Rains simply had a day off,
 Then, with a chuckle, the spokes- man drew a few mirrows from his pocket and faded away.
