NEW TECHNICOLOR
 CINEMA AT STATE
Dorothy LamOur and Ray Midland Reunited in
 Her Jungle Love-

Reunited in the type of film that vaulted them to screen fame, Dorothy Lamour and Ray Midland are seen together in Her Jungle Love-" the new Technicolor film that heads the splendid Easter pro- gram opening at Warner Brothers State theater for four days starting today and ending Monday night.
 Midland and Miss Lamour played co-starring parts for the first time in "The Jungle Princess" the same type of film as the one that brings the tWosome together again.
 Midland scores sensational hit as the young Indo-Malayan transport pilot forced down on a jungle isle uninhabited except for the beautiful Miss Lamour, a white goddess" in the eyes of the sur- rounding superstition ridden na- tives. Lynne Overman, the rub ber-faced comedian who plays the part of Milland's partner on the trans-Pacific flight, shares the con- edy honors with Jiggs, an unusu- ally talented monkey.
 Midland undertakes to teach the lovely Miss Lamour, who has nev- CT before seen a white man, the rudiments of civilization, and only realizes the complications he has let himself In for when he tries to make her understand the mean ing of the English word kiss" It is from that point on that he realizes that what had started as a purely impersonal thing has blos- Somed into one-sided romance on the part of Miss Lamour.
 Set amid scenes of rare beauty in full natural color, the entire action of the picture, with the ex- ception of one or two flash backs, takes place on the exotic jungle isle where Midland first discovered Tura, as Miss Lamour is called in the picture. She sings a new song, "Lovelight in the Starlight" which is destined to be even more popular than the Moonlight and Shadows" of "The Jungle Princess"
 The thrilling climax of the pie ture is an earthquake that destroys an underground temple, where Miss Lamour, Midland and Over man are being held captive by the poWer-mad ruler of the natives, J. Carol Naish, a mad Eurasian who has been using Miss Lamour as his puppet goddess" to mainatin his hold over the islanders.
 The picture is charmingly done, the color is magnificent in its bril- liance, and Miss Lamour and Mil land seem destined to score an- ether tremendous hit with "Her Jungle Love-"

and her endeavors to bewitch the princess.
 Tears will undoubtedly come to the eyes of most of the audience during the sequence-one of the most beautiful in the production where the dwarfs, believing Snow White dead at the hand of the queen, build a glass case for her so that her beauty may be adored even in death. The dwarfs and Snow Whites friends among the birds and animals take turns keeping sad vigil by the side of the foWer-sur- rounded bier in wonderful bower until the unexpected day when the prince, riding the woods, discovers the beautiful sight. He kisses Snow White, thus breaking the magic spell over her, and rides away with her to lasting happiness.
 This Seven-reef animated feature brings to life the beloved Grimms' fairy tale, known in almost every land the world over.
 Disney and his stan of artists have created a beautiful heroine in Snow White herself, whose skin was white as snow, lips red as a rose, and hair black as ebony"

AOh
 HollyWood-Radio is much kinder than the movies to newcomers in Hollywood. Only about one green aspirant in a thousand can get screen test, but anybody can get a singing addition.
 This is a priceless opportunity for the few who have the talent and looks to win encouragement and further chances from the broadcasting people, because it's a short jump from radio to movie studio. The flickers spend for tunes in the search for new tal- ent, but the fact is that about half the vocal and dramatic finds have first come to attenion on the air. Few Make Grade
 The Columbia Broadcasing Sys- tenn holds an open addition every Monday and Thursday in Holly wood, and I attended one of these hoping to be in on the discovery of a Deanna Durbin or Kenny Ba- ker. Nothing of the sort happened. Indeed, there were only two of about 30 people who were asked to return for additional Warbling.
 About TO vocalists are audi toned by CBS every week, all though this number includes a few repeaters who just won't be discouraged. Some of 'em are so paralyzed with fright that they have to try two or three times before they can even squawk nete. And there's one woman who has showed up on three diff ferent days to demonstrate her three different voices - with a Brahms lullaby, a ballad, and the St. Louis Blues
 Helping the HOpefuls
 One of the first things a visitor notices is the consideration and assistance given these hopefuls. A top-notch accompanist and sound mixer are provided. Bill Moore, in charge of musical additions, is pa tient and polite and listens atten-

lively. So, frequently, do Lud Glus- kin, the west coast musical dlrec- tor, and Charles Wanda, coast pro- gram director. For men with trained ears, it must be pretty painful ex- perience.
 But we listen to everybody" Gluskin said. Sometimes you think you can't stand another minute of it yet there's always the feeling that just possibly the next person who walks in the stu dio will be just the one you're looking for"
 Film Ambitions o. K.
 Each Monday and Thursday morning there are blacksmiths and clerks, housewives and ste- nographers in the studio lobby, but a considerable majority of the aspirants are in Hollywood to crash the movies. Radio doesn't resent this ambition, but fosters it. When CBS discovers a tal- ented and attractive siger it puts him or her under contract and, act ing as manager, is in position to sell the singer to radio sponsor or a picture company. Or both.
 Radio additions are conducted pretty much sight-unseen in other cities. But here, executives both look and listen. They're constantly searching for picture material, and many cutie with only fairly good voice has won a chance because of her personable delivery. Three of them thus spotted have become soloists with prominent dance orchestras, and one of these days the movies will probably discover" them.
 Dozens Helped to Movies
 Two or three singers from each weeks grist usually are selected to appear on an addition program that is broadcast to get public re- action. That's the last you hear of them, but a few go on to the pro- gram, Hollywood Showcase" and from there upward.
 A young man from Chicago named Eddie Dean was mem Der of the addition mob at CBS a few weeks ago, and everyone at the studio was impressed by his voice and appearance. He seemed such a good bet for pictures that he was made the only candidate on the Wednesday addition broad cast, and that program was ad- dressed over the air to the atten- ton of Daryl zanuck of 2Oth- Fox. zanuck listened, telephoned immediately, and couple of hours later gave Dean contract.
 Roy Rogers, new Universal western star, is a recent discov- cry. So is little Miss Maureen O'Connor, who's co-starring with Jackie Cooper in Monogram flicker. Dozens of other players who might never have got inside a movie studio can thank radio for their chances.

HOOPS, MY DEAR!

The yards of ruffles and laces which adorn the hoop skirts of Luise Rainer and Barbara O'Neil in Metro GoldWyn-Mayer'S "The Toy Wife" have made it necessary for the prop department to provide two low stools which can be slip ped under the back of the uptipped hoops when either wishes to sit down. The customary upright chair" in which stars usually rest between scenes, when they do not wish to crease their costumes, has proved unavailing in this instance, as the hoops get in the way.

have instilled all of the personality and comic little quirks so definitely associated with Disney characters, In stead of treating them as unit, as they were in the original story, the studio staff gave them names and made each of them 8 distinct person. In fact, Doc. Sneezy, Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy, Happy and Bashful have taken the world by storm.
 The picture is exquisite entertain ment for adult and young alike, and marks a new milestone in film fea- lures. It is must" attraction for every amusement seeker.

A BEAUTY HINT FROM MERLE

Merle Oberon, currently starring in Alexander Korda's "Over the Moon," says she always thinks it is sad beauty story when she sees a charming woman with ugly neglect ed hands. So, Merle suggests the daily use of lemon hand jelly. Fragrant and lovely, it is amazingly whitening and requires just bit of massaging. In a twinkling the skin absorbs it, and not only does it soften the hands most beautifully, but it is a wonderful protection against dirt.

Increase of the number of enroll ments in the Civilian Conservation camps from 1900 to 2,1O0 as the Connecticut quota has been an- nounced, due to the large increase in the number of youths in need of employment. From B. H. Van Buren, state director, the local welfare department has received word of the increased facilities for juniors, youths from IT to "A, and applica- tions from 52 local youths have been sent to state headquarters.
 Because only 802 places are avail able for this enrolment, it was en- phasized that applications should be made at once. The local bureau expects to add six more applications to the present total and urged that Waterbury youths who wish to en- list in the CCC apply at once.

 JUDGES VERDICT
Testimony of Testing Lane Attaches Important
 Factor in Trial
