clutches her hands, her dress, her
head and her stomach. All is clear
sailing in this engaging film due to
Miss Lily Pons, a singer whose voice
Is lyric, true and exciting and who
can reach high E without tying her
self in knots.
T EST you think, however, that
~ everything is as easy as it appears
to be when Miss Pons is tackllng
those songs, may we confide in you
what Gladys CRose of the Rancho'D
Swarthout conf1ded in us out in Holly
wood this Fall-namely. that singing
before the mike" and the camera Is
quite as nerve jangling as appearing
at the Metropolitan.
Miss Pons, 1t seems, did not have an
easy time of it. She was nervous al
first, worried lest her voice might not
record properly, and continually
heckled by reports that the film was
progressing so poorly that the company
might call it day. The strain of sing
ing those songs also was sometimes as
great as the agony of first night, and
Miss Swartwout reported that fire.
ouently Miss Pons was forced to keep
to her bed after day at the studio.

THE results to our way Of thinking

actress as we'll as songbird. And she

prima donna of world fame, but like
a small naughty girl, out for fun, frolic

with heart as well as voice behind
her.
Mr. Fonda was wise choice, too, for
the role opposite Miss Pons. One OF
the real film finals of the year, he ex-
hibits an ease Of acting that few OF
the younger stars possess, and that
scene in which he walks out on his

of the screen.

NADIA is back! The inimitable

NADJA Is paCh! 4He uliiiICduit
Nadjal
Many have been the attractions
which have come to the Gayety adver-
tised as "the exotic" but Nadia is
the only one who has fulfilled the
bill. Bizzare, rougish, hoydenish, the
list might run on for a column; but
Nadia must be seen and not described
in 4 hollow play on words.
The first of her two scenes Is
an Interpretation of Russian dance
done as only she could do it. What
makes Nadia such a sensation in the
Gayety, and what would make hel
almost equally acceptable anywhere
is that she is something of an actress
not merely an artistic such as i:
usually seen on this circuit.
Her second scene is laid in q
lady's boudoir, but few boudoirs have
seen the pagan dances that she exc
cutes therein. Every facet Of her per-
sonality CLEANS for a moment, ano
then Is gone, to be displaced by
another, equally enchanting. Grave
of the Russian temperament shines
an instant for our delight.
But Nadia is not the only attraction
this week. Diamond and Fay, together
with Ray Parsons and Bob Burch
provide as fast moving a line Of
comedy dialogue as has been heard
there. Mimi Reed dances, and Irene
Burke has an acceptable warble
Harry Cornish can play mean sax
while shaking a mean leg. It's a
good show, sumptuously costumed, well
balanced and well executed.
Nadia is still the personality that

were two separate droughts this year.
The first was in May and June in the
Atlantic States. In the western part
OF the belt the drought came later
with the outlook .oeing critical on Sep
TENDER 1st, but rains came soon after.
Offsetting the dry weather effects
was the reduced boil weevil damage
and late growth and maturity of
bolls. Thus the changed early poor
