the brightest week of theater this
season. That takes into conSidera-
ton, too, THE Show Is On" highly
intelligent thing. but not quite sure
of its footing when it played here in
the Fall.
"On Your Toes" is melodious,
mocking. mirthful. beautiful and ma
ture entertainment. Essentially it sets
out to lampoon the ballet, but in the
course of achieving that end it RIBS
many others of the current mores and
moronities
When Ray Bolger and Tamara
Geva. assisted by talented ensemble,
are not dancing the ballet to death,
Luella Gear and Monty Woolley are
mereilessly shattering its dignity with
barbed words. At other intervals,
song writer's. composers and stage
families come as close to being
laughed to death as inspired, and
sometimes bawdy, wit can bring them.
1t is all very grand and lots of fun.
The stress of On Your Toes"
naturally is on dancing. 1t was the
idea of Messrs Rodgers, Hart and
Abbot that the way to satirize the
ballet was to give its masters and mis-
tresses material that would make a
complete monkey of the art. They
took away its poetry and grace and its
dignity and substituted therefor
broad humor. angularity and gro
tesquerie. George Balanchine, who
did the choreography, was given a
talented group of dancers to interpret
the new idea and Washington has
added another howl to the bowling
success 4 has been ever since it
opened
After seeing Bolger and Miss Geva
no one will ever think again of the
ballet as being dehumanized.
Those who are unfamiliar with the
show may think that it moves slowly
toward the opportunities it gives
Bolger and Miss Geva to dance. The
delay, longer in the case of Bolger
than that of the brilliant ballerina,
is fully justified. The piece finds
its climaXes in two big ballet num-
bers. And what climaxes! Especially
the hilariously named, and danced
finale called Slaughter on Tenth

COAL TANKER HAD
 BAD EXPLOSION

New York, April 15.-(UP).-The co,l tanker William c. Atwater was proceeding toward New York har- bor under its own power today af- ter an explosion at 6:30 a. m., ill it's hold off Sea Girt, N. J. A sea- I an, Leslie Johnson, was lost over F 'erd at the time of the blast but was picked up later, suffering from burns anc exposure, by the steam shin Gov. John Lind of the Balti- more Insular line. The Gov. Lind messaged that Johnson was burned on the hands, was irrational from exposure" when picked up, and was in urgent need of "hospitalization. " The message said the vessel would reach New York at about noon.
 Details of the explosion in the At wster's hold were lacking. An earlier message said the vessel was "circling aroun.." in the Atlantic 30 miles north northeast of Barnegat. Later formation to the coast guard, how c, indicated the tanker was not i. immediate danger and would be ahle to make port. Coast guard of- fi,'als made arrangements for the injured seaman to be sent to hos pital as soon as the Gov. Lind docks. T.,e Atwater, owned by the Fall Riv- CT Navigation company of Fall River, Miss, carried crew of 25 and was engaged in coastal trade.

SCULPTOR WINS
 AFTER LONG TIME

Boston, April 15-(UP)-In 1883, Cyrus Dallin, fresh from the mining fields of his native Utah, entered a competition sponsored by the Bos- ton Art Commission and won first prize with his statue of Paul Revere.
 An historical error was discovered in his work and he was forced to compete again, but once more he took top prize, $250. Later the city council passed an order for the pur- chase of the statue when and If funds could be raised" At this point, Dallin sailed for Europe to continue his studies, and when he returned five years later, his model had van- ished. He modelled another, which finally was accepted by the Art Commission last year.
 This statue, life-size clay model of Revere on horseback. will be un- yelled April 24 on the Esplanade opposite Pinckney street, 1t was an- nounced today. Governor Charles F Hurley will officiate at the cere- money, marking the opening of art week. Thousands of school children from throughout the state will par ticipate.
 The 75-year-old sculptor, who has become an international figure since he originally designed the statute, considers 1t his masterpiece.

BRIDGEPORT IS
 BOTHERED AGAIN

Bridgeport, Conn, April 15-(UP) The United Electrical and Radio Workers of America has appealed to the national labor relations board to conduct g poll at the General Electrical plant here to determine the bargaining representatives of employees. local president Oliver Arr senault said today. He claimed the 0. I. o. had enrolled more than 50 per cent of the workers and that under the Wagner act the union was entitled to be the sole bargain ing agency.
 Meanwhile, a strike called by the c. I. O. at the Metropolitan Body Co. was settled by agreement of the management to grant 10 per cent wage increase an dinstitute 40- hour week. About 75 workers will be affected. At the Casco Products Co.,, President Joseph H. Cohen said he would ask the national labor re- lations board to intercede in Set- ting demands of workers for higher wages and union recognition. The state labor department already has been called into the discussion.

 When it comes to the adult it may be more difficult to determine the type of diet by appearance, the di- rector admitted, but said that the one who has unusual endurance, is alert and alive, has firm muscles and a clear complexion is the one who has lived always on dict which contains milk and cheese with their high content of calcium: a liberal proportion of vegetables, cit- rus fruits and tomatoes, daily, to DC sure of the necessary vitamins; and eggs, meat and fish with their high quality protein. One could not fail to guess that an unbalanced diet with many sweets and starches had played too prominent part in the case of the adult who is definitely overweight, has fiabby muscles and a pasty complexion.
 Most mothers understand what lOOuS dIG llCCuCO SuCit uoJ bO PAN- mote growth and health, and pride themselves on their use, but are sometimes puzzled because one child appears under par physically when others are growing and gain- ing with the same diet. A careful study will usually reveal ill such cases that the child who has failed to gain is the one that has always been fussy about food, has refused to eat this and that and has suc- ceeded in prevailing upon the par ents to cater to her likes and dis likes.
 It is easy to secure complete diet today, Miss Nickerson pointed out, because milk is universally used, and fresh green foods are brought quickly in refrigerated cars from distant points. Experiments on animals, and statistics of children and young people showing that they are bigger and stronger than their parents were at the corrending age, prove the benefits of the modern balanced diet.

EVICTION FAILS
 TO BE SOLUTION

Cambridge, Mass, April l5-CUP) Edward A. Filene, Boston mer- chant and economist, believes evic- tion of sit-down strikers by authori- ties fails to solve basic economic problems involved in the labor-cap- ital controversy. There was a time in America when, if an employe was not satisfied with his job, he could go back where he came from" 7" FiIene told graduate students at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nOlogy last night. Where he came from, usually, was piece of land upon which he could at least make a living. The modern employe has no such choice. If he doesn't work on the job to which an employer as- signs him, there is no place for him to go, except to some charity or relief headquarters"
 An appeal to authorities, he said. probably would result in eviction of sit-down strikers but would solve "no problems until we first provide some other space for them to oc- cupy, and 1t must be some place where they can make a living" A friend and supporter of President Roosevelt. Filene pointed out the "coliective bargaining is only the first step" of & society that eventu- ally will act collectively"
