that immortal document. The
presence of John Dickinson, a
descendant of one of Della

the commemorative dinner at
the Hotel Dupont Friday
night, is a singularly fitting
and inspiring event, for Mr..
Dickinson is not only a grace
full and accomplished speaker,
but he is considered to be an
effective expounder Of the

Tomato Crop Down State

The recent August rains al
most ruined many tomato
patches in Delaware and on
ihe Eastern Shore of Mary
land. While this resulted in
complete loss to some grow
ers, there were some, it now
develops, to whom the adverse
weather visitation was a bit
of good fortune.
Enough of the crop was
salvaged to make it market
able. Because SO much had
been destroyed the demand
for what had been saved was
stimulated. The effect of this,
points out the Morning News,
was to SO increase the price
as to enable those growers
who still had good tomatoes
after the recent storms to
realize a profit. In some in
stances the growers Jared
much better
This fortunate turn of af-
fairs has heartened some to-
mato growers who had begun
to feel that all of the cost and
trouble required in cultivation
had been wasted.

DISNEY NOW AT WORK ON
 FILM STORY
Snow White and the Sev- en Dwarfs" Will See
 Horrid Queen Die
By RoBBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 16. - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' represents Walt Disney's first fea- ture length cartoon venture but more than that his first venture into realism" One of the characters will meet death, the first time this has happened in a Disney film.
 The queen, who is the villainess, will die in fall off a cliff There will be nothing gory about it, of course, but Disney considers it rather a momentous step. Tn Who Killed Cock Robin?" the robin wasn't really dead after all. But in Snow White" built for sus- pense vivid enough to sustain a multi-reeled feature, something had to be done about the mean old queen.

Strip Tease Back,
 But Reversed, Now

NEW YORK, Sept. 15. = Strip tease came back to Broadway in re- verse. Five lovely gals, nude above the waist, came on the stage at Billy's Republic Frolics. They wore dainty panties, nothing else. A handsome gent approached each one and lovingly draped her in brassiere, underthings and an eve- ming gown.
 But not a wiggle crossed the foot lights. It's still life nudity now, and nude girls must not writhe.
 The strip tease in reverse" brought grins to patrons. It used to be Billy Minsky's Burlesque, but the agreement with License Con- missioner Paul Moss, which permits burlesque theaters to reopen, also banishes the name of Minsky from the marque.

Capitol Feature Blends Mystery
 With Romance
Sinner Take AIT Based on Popular Novel
 Last Times Tonight

It is an unusual story that unfolds on the screen of the Capitol The Iatre, in the picture sinner Takes All which opened yesterday. This feature closes the run tonight. The process of blending metropolitan mystery, with romance in the high |spots and comedy in the newspa- per world, is accomplished with re- markable finesse.
 Produced by Metro Goldwyn- May CT, Sinner Take All' presents the ace trio of Bruce Cabot, Margaret Lindsay and Joseph Calleia in top notch dramatic roles. Cabot, as a former newspaper man turned law yer, gives a fine performance; Miss Lindsay scores as the daughter of a millionaire publisher who is mys- teriously murdered, and Calleia of fers another of his excellent men ace" portrayals.
 Sinner Take AIT is based on the popular novel by Whitman Cham bers.

feature than about anything since he started putting his featurettes in color
 When people sec a color cartoon feature he says, "their imagina- tions will begin to work on the possi- bilities that lie in them. Already people have written in, suggesting subjects that could not possibly be done so well on the screen in any other medium. Many have suggested that we tackle the Odyssey next, for instance"
 Next, however, the Disney staff will undertake the story of a deer, "Bambi: a Life in the Forest As with Snow White months of ex- perimentation will pass before ac- tual production begins. The prob- lem is to catch the characters, get to know them so well that the artists regard them as real people rather than as drawings.
 Its funny how it works, chuckles Walt "The boys got so fond of the seven dwarfs-each of the seven distinct personality that when they finally finished their roles in the pictures the boys didn't want to let them go. Now they're bounding me to do another feature starring the dwarfs."
 Pigs Opened New Field
 It was Three Little Pigs" Dis hey thinks, that opened up a new field of potentialities for his screen efforts. With Pigs the artists learned how to instill personality" into their cartoon creations. and the phenomenal success of this short film indicated a future path along which human" cartoon characters could follow.
 Disney is spending approximately a million dollars on his feature - an expenditure that would not be possible in shorts because the re- turns would not justify it.
 Three Little Pigs is top money-maker among shorts, and it's earnings have been estimated in excess of a million dollars = but not by Disney

news on the subject It was con- fusing as everything, the navy say ing one thing and the State De- partment only half as much. But it was a bit of confusion the De- partment had to preserve in order to justify it's delay in officially putting the neutrality act into effect
 Actually while the State Depart ment continued "watchfully wait ing affairs were coming to a head. Senator Pittman of Nevada, chair man of the Foreign Relations com mittee, said two conditions must develop to justify putting the neu- trality act and it's arms embargoes into effect. One nation must set out to conquer another And the warfare must interfere with Amer ican shipping.
 We'll Japan has outlined it's in- tention of 'punishing' China. That sounds almost like conquering. Next, Foreign Minister Hirota said Japan would not interfere with peaceful commerce" moving into China, but he considered shipments of muni- tions and implements of war as not peaceful commerce.
 Even as he said it, shipmetns of American airplanes, which are le- gally listed as implements of war, were moving toward the blockade zone from the United States shores.
