A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Autumn.

Autumn.
The dusks are shorter, and starlight
Has the glitter of coming cold:
Partridge berries and crimson sumach
Are coloring all the wold;
The graceful swallow southwark flies,
And on the grass q light frost lies.
The grapes hang ripe on the arbor
In clusters of purple delight;
There's sparkling rime on the pump.

And the wind blows keener tonight
On the hearth Is burning o pine-knots
fire tts
Whose flames might be Summers fu-
neral ryre.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

The suburban bird lover need not have
an inferiority complex when he reads
about the 3l8 species observed at the
bird sanctuary at Reaches Run on the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway.
Naturally there are more birds in such
q place. Professional ornithologists help
to check UP on them, too.
The plain friend of birds with a small
suburban garden will be fortunate to be
able to identify as many as 10 different
species, but these will be very close to
his heart and bosom. as Lord Bacon
put it.
They will come home to him in q
peculiarly distinct way, and have greater
meaning for him than all the other birds
he has not counted.
He must remember. too. that undoubt-
edly there are more wild birds in his yard
than he has ever been able to identify.
Most of these will be Of the warbler
and sparrow families.
All those plain little gray birds hopping
around in early Spring and late Fall
probably will be distinct species. but to
the average observer just some more
"Sparrows."
A list of birds observed in one suburban
garden is as follows:
!. Nuthatch.
2. Tilted titmouse.
3. English sparrow.
4. White-throated sparrow.
S. Vesper sparrow.
6. Cardinal.
7. Blue jay.
8. Carolina wren.
9. Crow.
10. Startling.
II. Purple grackle.
IL. Wood thrush.
13. Downy woodpecker.
II. Hairy woodpecker.
IS. Red-bellied woodpecker.
l6. Brown thrasher.
II. Flicker.
18. Carolina dove.
19. Pigeon.
20. Baltimore oriole.
II. Towhee.
70. House wren.
q. Pigeon hawk.
"a. Hummingbird.
IS. Pewee.
26. Oven bird.
u. Black-and-white warbler.

WHAT with the Rogers-Astaire
w team and the newest issue of
1.-THE March of Time" occupying his
play house this week. Hardie Meakin
and his crew should have smooth
sailing.
Follow the Fleet" isn't the only
nautical motif at R-K-O Keith's, for
a portion of THE March of Time"
deals with that grand old tradition
of the North Atlantic Glouces-
ter fishermen.
Many skeptics have been con-
verted into March of Time" en-
thusiasts since the appearance of this
new form Of pictorial expression,
which has a dramatic intenSiy that
screen news flashes" never revealed.
And if you saw King of the Damned"
some time ago, and thought it Holly
woodian and melodramatic, you will
perhaps concede, after seeing Times
Escape from Devils Island" that
an event becomes melodrama only
when it Is shabby imitation of
reality. You will remember the Con-
rad Veidt film when THE March of
Time" commentator, speaking of the
unfinished road to Cayenne, says that
in the last go years $4,000 convicts
have died working on this road.
Possibly the best photography in the
current Time" newsreel is the Sc
quence which deals with the recent
military fiasco in Japan.
Complementing the grimness of the
newsreels is the frothy, humorous
Follow the Fleet" which lacks only
seven days of running neck-in-neck
with the Top Hat" box Office record.
One of this cinema's high lights is
Harriet Hilliard, whose brunei wig
makes her look like Sylvia Sidney's
twin. She MARBLES a too-brief ditty,
which has not been radioed as often
as the other Berlin tunes, but which
Is very smooth.
AStaire and Rogers are yet the
favorite dancing team of American
filmgoers, and now that Miss Rogers
no longer looks just wee bit afraid
that she won't be able to tap as fast
as her partner, dowagers bestow their
incest smiles upon her.
Randolph Scott and Astaire's mon
key, Mike, supply laughs and aid a
great deal In making the cinema so
popular that it has gone into a third
