CULVER
Is Classic At
BeIasco

1.-The New CULVER" current at
the BelaSco Theater, is a highly
entertaining film and one which
should be seen by all serious stu
dents of the cinema. It is a film
also which will appeal to children,
who will miss its political impli-
cations, of course, and be highly
diverted by the puppets.
The film is the most unusual
thing I have seen this year. The
work of creating it must have been
enormous. More than 5000 pup
pets, we are told, were used in the
filming of the picture. This figure,
of course, takes no account Of the
miniature scenery, towns, palaces,
bridges, autos, guns, horses and
carriages that had to be con-
Structed for an effective staging
Of this story of CULVER among
the Lilliputs.
If I seem to dwell on the sub
ject of the puppets, do not form
the opinion that the film is any
way stilted or dulled by the en-
ployment of these little grotesques.
These puppets set high mark in
their performances and are able
to simulate the emotions felt by
their human counterparts.
The puppets which take the
leading roles give characterize
tons that might be studied with
profit in certain sections Of Holly
wood.
The character of CULVER IS
taken by an extremely good look
ing lad who is billed as V. Kon-
Stantinov. He is the only human
character in the main story.
There are others in the prologue
leading up to the actual adven
ture.
The scenes in Lilliput are BIZ
zarre and interesting. There is
a ballet dance staged for GULL
ver'S delectation and a puppet
crooner, with an enormous mouth,
sings love song. This and other
humorous touches are perfectly
priceless.
The film, an Amkino product,
Is naturally loaded with Soviet
propaganda. The Dean swift story
has been turned around to fit the
ideas of the Russian government.
The puppet king, for instance, is
shown as a weakling with baby
laugh and a photograph speaks
for him. There are munitions
makers among the Lilliputians
and food magrates who are held
up to ridicule. But even the
propaganda Is enjoyable. Part of
it we can agree with and laugh at
the rest, because the whole film
is done in a rollicking spirit Of
humor which quickly fires the
audience to laughter.
THE New CULVER" is one film
you can't afford to miss. 1t will
be talked about for many months.
It marks a new departure in the
art of the screen.
Various subsidiary films are
shown, including the news reel,
Adventures of a News Reel Cam
eraman" and a thoroughly sour
musical short featuring Sylvia
F'rooS.

u: y: n s.. ,s, tss: ts.s ff::s f::s
Opening lead, jack Of hearts.
I. We have seen some overbids in
our time, but this is perhaps the best.
2. West was either cowed or cau-
tious.
Once North's puzzled listeners were
told that the jack Of hearts was
opened, there was q chorus Of antici-
patory squeals The play dawned on
every one, much to North's disgust.
He went ahead to explain that he
had gone up with the ace on the
board and dropped the king from his
own hand. Assuming that East's lead
was honest, that created two entries
into the dummy, and heaven knows
that dummy needed them. The next
play-here was where the opponents
slipped-was to lead small spade
from the board. The jack was not
led, because that might induce West
to cover. When West. hopeful that
North was trying to drop a blank
honor in East's hand, Stunned the
trick, North put on the ten spot from
his own hand. After that, all was
over
The ace Of spades was cashed and
the nine Of hearts finessed. That not
only worked, but the hearts split,
three three. The declarer cashed the
ace Of hearts. discarding the three Of
diamonds from his own hand, and
then led the good five of hearts.
Vests best play is to refuse to trump.
North gets rid Of the jack of dia-
monds and small club. Then he
must lead the queen Of clubs and put
West in. West takes his good spade
and lays down the ace Of diamonds.
North makes four spades.
Alternate play, West returns a small
diamond. North does not trump. In
stead he discards a club. East can't
find q good return and North makes
four spades. At any rate, no matter
what North does after that, he makes
his contract.

THIS surname comes from the Ger
man word "frei," meaning free.
The earliest records of the Pennsyl-
vania Freys or Fryes state that they
went from Urdorf, in Canton Zurich.
Switzerland, after the Thirty Years
War, and settled in the Palatinate Of
Germany. The name has been spelled
Fry, Frey, Frye for centuries and these
three forms are prevalent in the
United States today.
The arms here shown are ascribed
to William Jefferson Fry, a representa-
tive of one branch of the family living
in Pennsylvania. Another coat of
arms used by Frys of Pennsylvania is
blazoned: Azure, bordure, or the
shield charged with an eagle contourns
sable, standing on mount vert OF
three peaks and regarding the sun is
suing from the sinister canton. Crest

One of the early founders Of the
Fry family in Pennsylvania was To-
bias Fry, or Frey, the son Of Hans and
Margaretha Frey. He was born In
1lllSUuSLl, SSL AAA AOoH' 1AA -
he sailed on the ship William and
Sarah, accompanied by his son Gott-
fried. Arriving in America, he was
granted land by the Governor of Mary
land and in 1736 received grants OF
land in Pennsylvania from the Penns.
Thus the Freys became established in
York County, where they were sub
stantial citizens and ardent members
of the Zion Reformed Church.
Frys were also early settlers in the
New England States and in Virginia.
We find John Frye Of County Hants,
England, living in Newbury, Mass, as
early as 1888 His sons, Samuel, Ben
jamin and John, removed to Andover,
Mass, and Samuel became a repre-
sentative to the Massachusetts, Cen
eral Court. Freys Of Rhode Island
were represented by Thomas Of County
Devon, England. He settled in East
Greenwich, r. I. Joshua Fry Of Vir-
ginia was living in Essex County prior

" HE question usually asked is
whether you or the worm"
was the most excited when
l. you bit into the apple and dis
turbed or beheaded the creature
domiciled at the core. Ugh!
It's an unpleasant experience for
both, and usually far more serious
for the startled householder. Cen
orally, the codling youth is about
three-fourths Of an inch long, rosy
hued, brown or black headed. and six
legged. Had his home not been re-
moved from the tree he would have
left the apple by an exit Of his own
making. and by dropping down on
his silken rope he would have landed
safely upon the ground.
Then he would quickly have sought
shelter either in deep crevice in the
ground, under a stone. or even under
an apple box, If one had been left in
the orchard. Here he weaves some
silk threads. mingles them with bits
of bark and dirt, and within this silk
lined cocoon awaits the Spring.
: About the time the apple trees be-
gin to put forth their buds the sleep
ing insect commences to transform
into a pupa. and when the tender
leaves are well unfurled a codling
moth steps forth from its Winter
wrappings.
A codling moth mother is small
creature. not over a half-inch long,
with wings marked to blend with the
colors on the tree bark. AS she creeps
up the tree trunk, wings folded roof
fashion over her body, her browns,
Colds and wavy lines hide her from
all but expert eyes.
She reaches the leaves and upon
them fastens from so to 100 eggs.
These hatch in about 10 days. and

and when he returned he brought the
information that both Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy were there. They had
moved back from their home on the
Green Meadows. 1t was too open on
the Green Meadows, and they had
moved there only because strange
boy had found their home in the Old
Pasture and tried to trap them and
to get the babies Now they felt that
danger was passed, and so they had
returned to the Old Pasture, but not
to their old den. They had dug q
new home.
Several Of the other birds had
looked for Shadow the Weasel, but
they had looked in vain. Shadow is
one of those people who can disap-
pear where no one else can and who
is almost impossible to find when he
is looked for. When he is seen it IS
usually when he is least expected. He
has way Of popping out when no
one is thinking about him. So Peters
friends kept watch and hoped for the
best.

- ETER RABBIT. while unfortu-
nate, was also fortunate. He
was fortunate in having
L friends. Any one is fortunate
who has real friends. Peter was, you
know, q prisoner because a slipping
stone of the old wall on the edge Of
the Old Pasture had fallen in such
way as to catch his right hind foot,
and do what he would he couldn't get
1t free.
His difficulty was soon discovered
by the neighbors. and they all hurried
to give him advice. Then they talked
1t all over by themselves.
There Is no one who can do any
ing for Peter but Farmer Browns Boy
or Farmer Brown" declared Sammy
Jay. THAT stone has got to be lifted
of, and no one else can do that.
To this they all agreed. He Is
bound to come along sooner OF later
and find Peter" said welcome Robin.
Tut, tut, tut, TUT" exclaimed Jenny
Wren. Must we wait for that? It
seems to me that We ought to bring
Farmer Browns Boy here. If We all
set to screaming and making a great
fuss he'll be sure to come to see what
the trouble is"
That will be all right when he is
somewhere around, but 1t won't do
unless we know he Is somewhere
around" declared Sammy Jay.
why won't 1t do?" demanded Jenny
Wren pertly.
Because it might bring some one
else" replied Sammy Jay. 1T might
bring Reddy Fox or some other of
the people who would be delighted to
find Peter in such a difficulty. There's
one thing we can do, however"
What is that?" asked Winsome
Bluebird.
We can all of us keep watch for
Peters enemies. and if We see one
try to lead him away" said Sammy
Jay.
They all talked this over and agreed
that Sammy was right. and they all
agreed to keep sharp watch for any OF
Peters enemies who might be headed
toward the Old Orchard. 1t was
agreed that if one such should be dis
covered the alarm would be given and
all would flock to do what they could
to distract the enemy's attention and
lead him in another direction.
Now you know there are many sharp
eyes among the feathered folk. and
with all of them working together
there would be little chance Of any
one getting very near to Peter with
out being seen by some one who was
on watch.
There Is nothing like knowing

first brood. The second one is like
the first, except that the transforma-
ton takes only 10 days. instead Of
all Winter.
The natural enemies are birds, who
form vigilance society for our Or
chard trees. and the orchardists, who
must see to it that the trees are
sprayed early in the spring with a
solution we'll blended with concoctions
capable of being fatal to the moths
creeping stealthily up the trees.

where people are" said Sammy Jay.
II think I'll fly over to the Old Pas
ture and see II Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
are over there. OF course, the time
when they are most to be feared Is
the time when we day folk can be Of
little help. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
like to hunt in the night. I'm afraid
there isn't much we can do for Peter
after dark"
At this all the others looked very
serious, for it was true. In daylight
they could watch for Peters enemies
and perhaps would be able to help,
but at night there were few who could
be Of any possible help. So there was
a great hope on the part of Peters
friends that Farmer Browns Boy
would find him before darkness fell.

A Solon


LIE IS the Solon of the administra-
ton cabinet" wrote an editor
recently of Government official.
AS in many other instances. this
use Of Solon demonstrates anew the
exotic :ppetite of the English lexi-
con, the catholic cultural diet upon
which it has fed and is ever feeding.
AS has been pointed out before, the
result is what has been aptly described
as fertile background of superim-
posed nuances, wealth of rich allu-
sions which build up vitality of Ian
guage life, constant growth toward
-ripening maturity.
So Solon, indicating a man of great
wisdom, Is reference to that out
standing Athenian legislator whose
name has come down from ancient
times to posterity as one of the seven
