A few weeks ago Sid Davis was
working as a mail boy at RKO. To-
day, on the same lot, he is an actor
and snake-handler. Not much Of an
actor yet, but the snakes are pay
ing for dramatic and diction les
sons, so he has hopes!
Nobody guessed that Davis hob
by was snakes until he learned
that the studio was going to rent
some for "Gunga Din" Then he
admitted that he had a collection
Of nearly 500 dead ones, stuffed
and picked, and 100 live ones.
Many of the latter are rattlers,
with poison Sacs intact, but he had
plenty of large, harmless king and
gopher snakes, so he and his rep
tiles were hired.
OF course they needed some
hooded cobras for the picture, so
Davis resorted to favorite Hol-
lywood trick of snake makeup
made some little rubber hoods to
be fitted to the gopher snakes.
They appear very realistic. ex-
cept that they don't seem to have
a cobra's appreciation of flute mu-
sic.
Anyway, Davis will receive about
$500 for the engagement, and he'll
spend it all on learning to be a
real actor. He wants to play sinister
heavieS.

'CUEZ' OFFERING
AT LOEW'S Poll.
Terrifying Simeon One Of
Many Spectacles in
zannuck's Film

Manager Ed. Fitzpatrick Of the
popular Loew Poll theater attended
the world premier in New York last
week, Of 'Suez" and brings back EN-
thuSiastic reports Of this great film.
He relates that for the first few
moments after the final scene faded
from the screen there was q CONF
plete silence in the large and beau
tiful Roxy theater where the gala
premiere was held. Then the APP
plause, cheering and whistling swept
through the auditorium with such
vehemence as If to rival the savage
black simeon that brought the story
to a terrifying climax, bringing
spectacle and emotion the screen
has never been able to capture be-
fore.
When the demonstration had sub
sided and the audience began filing
out Of the theater the hubbub Of
voices paid eloquent tribute to the
production genius Of Daryl Ia
muck, already known as the producer
of many of the screens most mem
orable achievements, who has
poured all the resources Of his COM
pany into "Suez." AS a result the
picture has so many spectacular
elements that people Of the most
divergent taste found themselves In
complete accord in declaring "Suez"
stirring entertainment.
Just as the Roxy audience was i'm
pressed by the amazing Ferdinand
de Lesseps, who dreamed Of tearing
continents apart to join the Medi-
terraneean with the Red Sea that
ships might sail the desert in a
short route to the East, sought vain-
ly to such heroes as Columbus and
Magellan, you too will undoubtedly
be duly impressed by this great
hero Of history. Driven by the love
Of two women, de Lesseps strove
nightly against the choking sand
Of the Sahara, crushed the wild Be
douin, and faced the fury Of the
devil-wind to wrest from the desert
the waterway that today is the Jug
ular vein of the world.

waited at the same time, by the great
performances of Tyrone Power, as
de Lesseps; Loretta Young, as Eu-
genie; Annabella as a waif Of the
dessert; and the host of stellar play
ers, including J. Edward Bromberg,
Joseph Schildkraut, Henry Stephen
son and others.
Greatest Of all perhaps, in this
picture opening a four day engage
ment tomorrow at the popular Loew
Poll theater, Is the terrifying simeon.
Twisting, torturing, all-deStroying-
the devil-wind of the desert rearS
across the screen with a savage fury
that makes it one Of the most un-
forgettable spectacles ever seen on
Aim. Leveling everything in its mer-
CHESS path, the storm is Natures
last mighty effort to stop de Les
sepis great work.-and Nature loses.

That was in San Francisco, Mrs.
Mcfarland recalls. Horace Heidi
was the master Of ceremon-
les, she related, "and he was sup
posed to introduce Spank and talk
to him a little while, and then let
him sing song.
'Mr. Heidi suggested that the
whole thing be ad libbed, and /
thought that would be all right. The
first show was all right, too. He
asked Spank how old he was, and
how he liked movies, and a lot of
simple questions like that.
But when the second show be-
gan, Spank didn't realize that; it
was a different audience. Mr..
Heidi began asking the same
questions and Spank got mad,
He'd say, 7 already told you I was
