STRAND

The oyerworked word "epic" comes into its Yightful own with the. long-awaited showing of tho masterful motion picture version oi ''The Good Earthn which came to the Warner Strand theater today for e four-day engagement. Based on the novel by Pearl s. Buck one of the greatest sellers of mod. ern literature and on its subse. quent stage adaptatoin by Owou Davis and Donald Davis, "The Good Earth" has been translated to the wide horizon of the screen with rare intelligence Q profound under. standing of an alien race, and sensitiyity, heart-stirring in its un- foldment. of the lives of people bound hand-and-foot Co the suiI which gives them their daily bread and also the poetry through which they ma ysustaill, their poverty.
 Tn the story of the impoverished farmer, Wang, who takes to wife the slave-girl oLan, who fights against locustS, against famine against locusts, against famine, against revolution we have a pano- rama of Chinese civilization.

JUST ran into a dreamer; c young
 man who dreamed he would beat the
 present method of sending pictures by radio. And he HAS! l saw him go into an ordinary telephone booth at the Hotel Governor Clinton, carry two small sslches. He called up newspaper office, and simply said: Take picture" Then he opened one satchel, laid upon 1t a print from a photographic negative, printed upon q coated metal plate, over which he placed the particular screen" that his newspaper required for printing purposes. Al the newspaper office there was another small machine, upon which lay q similarly coated metal plate. When he got the "Co ahead" he simply laid the telephone receiver on his machine, turned a switch, and the machine TALKED the picture on to the plate in the newspapers office. It then took but few minutes for the plate to be acid. etched, when the result was a perfect plate 10 be immediately placed in the newspapers type form. And he tells me the same is just as possible oveT ihs radio. Who was it who said: "Dream. CTS are architects of greatness. Their vision lies within their souls. They never sec the mirages of fact, but appear beyond the wastes and mists of doubt and tears, the walls of unborn time. They dare unchartered seas. With only tho cloth of courage at their maSts, and with no compasSes save their dreams, they said away undaunted for the far blind, shores" Here is a young man who has made port, because he dared. On the other hand, for many life is full of uncompleted tasks--of failures due to incapacity to follow through--of ventures started and abandoned, only 10 be taken up later by some one else who reaps both the profit and the glory. It seems odd, doesn't it, that whenever 1 drop into that delightful, homelike, happy hos. telry which is opposite the Penn. Station, l run into so many interesting people who seem to prefer the Hotel Governor Clinton as their home whenever and always they are in New York City. But this is quite understandable when you sec the beautiful rooms and the many appointments bath, ice water on tap, radio, servidor, bed reading lamp, French phone, etc., and all for such moderate price of but three dollars day.
 And, by the way, if you are in busi. ness, and come to New York occasion. ally, if you will write on your business stationery and ask to be put on their mailing list, you will probably receive regularly . copy of their little monthly magazines which iS one of the most unique little publications ever issued by any concern in the U. s.

 Scott has demonstrated some eccentric whimsicalities which tickle the movie colony. For one thing, his is the only six-man quintet in the world. He likes the word quintet" so he uses 1t, just as he likes and uses the name Scott when his name really Is Warno. His sax ophonist Is Dave Eric Hoex" be- cause, he says, nobody who can play like that should have a name like Dave Harris"
 Scott, who plays the piano, composes all the music for his quintet" But he doesn't write 1t. The group will work on a num- Der for weeks, and record 1t, before

 Baked at Knee Brooches
 Scott, now 28, was a New Yorker from a musical family. He was Slat- ed for an education in engineering, but changed his mind and attended the Institute of Musical Art. Next he became Q staff composer for Co., lurnbia Broadcasting System.
 From various radio ofchestras he collected five men who liked to prac- tice with him and try out his ideas.
 They played few sustaining programs and made some records ("Toy Trumpet" Twilight in Turkey" "Minuet in Jazz" and Power House") which were im- medlately successful.
 David Selznick brought them to Hollywood for an appearance in Nothing Sacred" but the deal went awry when he proposed costuming them in knee brooches and powder ed wigs.
 They were studying transcontin- ental timetables when an agent persuaded them to appear at the TrocaderO. Said Scott: "I was
 scared to death, and spent two days learning to take a bow"
 There were plenty of bows to be taken, as 1t turned out. The Tro- cadero is a show-shop for talent, and numerous movie big-wags at- tended that night. Next day the bid- ding was fast, the competition bit- ter.
 Daryl zanuck got them. He rushed them into couple of se- quences of "Aii Baba Goes to Town" and has penciled them into future musicals, for year at least.

 Hollywood Chances are you will be hearing and seeing quite a lot of the Raymond Scott quintet. Hearing, anyway. They are not much to look at, and for while the movies may hide them up on the mezZanine behind the potted palms. You see, these young men happen to be musicians, and not entertain CTS given to the frenzied gesticu. lations and grimaces of the aver- age swing band.
 They just sit down and do their stuff, footing their horns and whopping their bullfiddle and drums and plano In . very busi- nesslike way.

 st. Januarlus, an Italian bishop whose relies were brought to Ma pIes after Constantine issued his edlct granting freedom of worship C Christians, long has been cOn- sidered the protector of that city against eruptiOns of Mount Ve- suvius.
 When the persecution of Dio- cIesIan broke out, St. Januarius secretly visited the imprisoned Christians to comfort and encOur- age them. While performing this act of charity he was seized and, with several others, beheaded. About the year 400 the martyrs blood, in two vlals, and head were removed to the church in Naples. Here Is performed what Is known as the standing miracle. The blood is cOngealed but, when brought in proximity to the head, 1t melts and bubbles up. This oc- CUTS several times a year, includ- ing Dec. 20, on which day, in 1881, mighty eruption of Mount Ve- suvlus was extlnguished after the patronage of this saint had been invoked.

A demure young bride, a triAe pale, her lips set in a tremulous smile, slowly stepped down tho long church aisle, clinging 10 the arm of her father. As she reached tho low platform before the altar, her slippered foot brushed . pot. ted flower, upselting 1t. She looked at the spilled dirt gravely, and then raising her childlike eyes to the benign counte. nance of the old minister, she muttered -"That's hell of a place to put lily"

undergraduates in smaller institu
tons.
All applications for any form of
school or college and graduate aid
must be made directly to the adj
ministrative office of the school
or college which the student desires
= attend. The determination of
pol and the selection of students
to be aided is the responsibility of
t. school. Special application
forms and a form for certification
of need must be filed by all appli-
cants before they al be assigned
to a work project. Investigations
will be made by NYA authorities
into any cases in which the need of
the applicant appears to be ques-
tionable.
For other details about the NYA
program, Negro students are adj
vised to communicate with their

ector of the Division of Negro At

The Works Program
National Youth Administration
To Continue Aid To Worthy
Colored Students

Washington, D. c., Aug. ia
few changes will be made in the
National Youth Administrators
program of work-aid for needy stu
dents during the coming school
term, Aubrey Williams, executives
director, announces. To continue
benefits to Negro students through
the School Aid and College and
Graduate Aid programs, the an
nouncement stated, a special fund
of $4,000 for Negro graduate stu
dents has again been set aside.
The school aid program will give
financial assistance to students IN
approved institutions not requiring
high school graduation or the equi-
valent for entrance, while the Col
lege and Graduate program will
help those in approved institutions
that have such minimum require
ments. Last year 10000 colored
students benefited through the
former program, while more than
1000 were added by the latter. The
figures represented and increase of
more than 5000 over the previous
years totals.
Greater emphasis is to be placed
this year upon need as a factor IN
determining the eligibility of stu
dent applicants. Those desiring,
NYA work must demonstrate that
without such employment, they
would not be able to enter OF stey
in school.
All students aid is limited to
young people between the ages of
is and "a inclusive. They must be
fulltime students, carrying at least
three-fourths of the normal sched-
ule. Only youths who are citizens
of the United States, or who have
filed declaration of their intention
to become citizens, will be eligible.
All must be of good character and
possess such ability that they can
give assurance of performing ac-
ceptable scholastic work. Students
who fail to do good classroom
work will be dropped from NYA
employment.
Work payments will remain the
same as last year: a aximum of
Sc a month for elementary and
high school students, an average
of SIS with a maximum of $40 for
college undergraduates, and an
average of $50 with a $40 maximum
for graduate students,
Maximum hours of WORK will be
eight hours a day, thirty hours a
week. Wage rates will be the same
as those prevailing in the locality
for the type of work performed.
Clerical, library, classoom and la
boratory assistance, construction of
small buildings, research and sur-
veys, and supervision of recrea-
ton will constitute the chief types
of employment.
In setting enjoyment quotas for
school aid, provision is made that
'the number of young men and wo-
men of any minority racial group
school aid shall not represent a
smaller proportion of the total
number aided than the ratio which
this racial group bears to the pop
ulation of the school district or
state"
Because it is realized that many
universities make no provisions for
the enrolment of colored graduate
students, the special fund created
last year for this group has been
continued. During the 1936-1937
school term it aided students from
many states to do graduate work
at nineteen different colleges and
universities. In addition, it was
used to finance a number of spe-
cial training projects for worthy
