WHETHER you rent or own
w your own home, there's nc
need to have living room that ap
pears dark and dingy during the
evening hours for lack of the few
little things that would make it "a
perfect picture of comfort"
For example. the wall and ceiling
paper may be in fair condition, but
just a few shades too depressingly
dark. And the ceiling lighting fix
ture and wall brackets-are they
horrible to look at, and worse for
the family to see by?
Don't despair for moment
longer. You needn't go on living in
q dreary environment. When you've
studied the accompanying illustra
tion and have seen what one in
genious woman accomplished. you'll

Make Plea
For Chest

In a special Thanksgiving proc.
lamation the District Commission
ers today asked Washington citi.
zens to give thousands Of the
city's needy reason to be thankful,
by contributing to the Community
Chest, still short of its $2.059, 900
goal. 80. '
The proclamation read:
whereas. today is universally
celebrated as a period of thanks
giving throughout our country,
and '
Whereas, our Community
Chest campaign fell short of its
goal by $297 ,214 and
Whereas, the temper Of the
volunteer workers and Of our
people generally is to refuse to
Concede defeat. and
Whereas, most of the people
of Washington are particularly
fortunate in being better paid,
better housed and better fed
than those in most cities;
Therefore, be it resolved by
the Board of Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, in spe-
cial SESSION assembled, that the
people of the District of Column
bia, as they enter upon their
observance of this Thanksgiving
Day. give thought to the dire
needs of their fellow citizens
who are dependent upon our
bounty, and having reflected
upon those things, again search
their hearts and their purses to
see whether they have done
their full part in the Community
Chest campaign.

Mariona Rakauskas to Give Concert in Brook

Waterbury opera fans prepared today for a tremendous reception for Miss Mariona Rakauskas. dramatic soprano of the Lithuanian State Opp era who appears tomorrow night in a concert at St. Joseph's auditorium. Miss RakauSkas is now approach ing the completion of a tour of the United States and plans to return to Kaunis, Lithuania, soon where she will begin series of appear ances in many European capitals.
 The noted artist has many friends in Waterbury who heard her dur- ing a recent concert at Bushnell Memorial in Hartford in which she appeared with Miss Anna Kaskas of that city who is associated with the Metropolitan Opera company. The recital tomorrow night will begin at 2 o'clock. The guest artist will be assisted by St. Joseph's church choir.

POLl'S

Tyrone Power, so ardent, and Loretta Young, so lovely, kiss impul- sively under the Miami moon and their love is news again! The ex- citing sweethearts of Love Is News" and "Cafe Metropole" care so much that they fall for each other twice in their latest Twentieth Gen. tury-Fox picture, Second Honey moon," which opens today at the Loew Poli theater.
 In a smart and modern manner but with a new and deeper feeling, Tyrone and Loretta make merry in the "marry-est" picture of the year, proving that while love at first sight may be romantic, love at second sight is wee, they part in Reno, kis in Miami and put their whole hearts into doing the damage all over again.
 No one in all the world loves a lover likeanother lover, so Stuart Edwin, as Tyrone's gentleman's gen. tleman, tries his darndest to intro- duce his master to state of happi- ness similar to that he has won with pretty Marjorie Weaver. Para doxically, tho valet's romance is the very thing that keeps Tyrone and Loretta apart, for many rlisunder- standings spring from this spectacle of innocent bliss. Loretta is sure that Tyrone is interested in Mar jorie because she is always near him, not knowing, of course, that 1t is Stuart Marjorie is after.
 There is another couple involved in this encored romance; Claire Trevor and J. Edward Bromberg make a sophisticated pair who find casual amusement in pointing out to Loretta little uncertainties in the security" of her second marriage to steadfast, dependableand un- imaginative husband played by Lyle Talbot.
 The thoughtless kiss that rekin- dled the fires of 8 Renovated" love might have been forgotten If Husband Number One had not de- cided to make friends with Hus- band Number Two. Tyrone arranges a "progging" expedition for the en- tire party, 'progging" being thrill ing adaptation of fishing after dark that is one of the newest of Amer ica's pastimes. Husband Number Two displays himself in not-too- favorable light and that first kiss that might have been forgotten is repeated, starting a series of gay events that lead to perfect modern solution. Swiftly-paced excitement touched with hiliarity marks the climax of the screen play, written by Kathryn Scola and Darrell Ware from Red Brook magazine story by Philip Wylie.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is AS Fathers" starring the inimitable Jane Withers in her fun niest role.

Is It True About eiAlo?

Several years have gone by since we've had a melody from C. A. Eixio. Who is C. A. Bixio? He is Italy's Irving Berlin, best known as the composer of that melodious marshmallow, "Tell. Me That You Love Me Tonight" Three years ago it was a sensation on the bandstands of the world. Every orchestra out- side of Symphony Hall was playing it, crooners were doing things to it, torch-singers were blazing the heavens with it, quartets were fond. ling 1t, ,glee clubs were crowding around it. It nearly reached the mil- lion mark in sheet copy sales. And that, in these days of radio, is a
 mark indeed.
 The tune had a different title-and different words--in every country 1t penetrated. Incidentally, Al Silver. man wrote the words for the Amer. ican version. In France 1t was called "Le Chaland Qui Passe" and that doesn't mean "Tell Me That You Love Me Tonight" In England well, you'd never guess what the tune was called in England. So calm these English, and 50 maritime. minded. In England the tune was known as Ships That Pass in the Ninht," Fine.
