And when the French made q cinema

ripping comedy. full of . rare and
racy continental flavor, zestfully hi

The French, in fact, contrived from
the legend q script somewhat fun
nier, to our way of thinking, than the
play the Lunts brought US from the
same tale of Jupiter's night out
and that was hilarious enough.
The story. you probably know, tells
Of Jupiter being awakened on Olym-
pus by the prayer Of the young wom-
an who wants her husband quickly
returned from battle. Finding her
very lovely indeed he goes down to
investigate the situation, but gets
nowhere with his attempts to WOO
the lass until he adopts the guise of
her husband, then gets too spified to
remember for what he came.
The people involved have handled
it all beautifully. Especially gay is
their utter lack Of respect for the
Greek gods, Mercury being q sad sort

the opera at Milan where they have
q cast of $50, all of whom work for
nothing. And all of whom think that
performers in America are terribly
spoiled because Of the fabulous salaries
we are supposed to draw"
But the opera at Milan, and the
dissent of the performers for the Amer
ican system, Is not the best story Miss
Corio tells.
The best one is about the time she
went to the theater In Rome, with q
relative who had no idea Of Just what
Miss Corio did in the theater in this
country. 49,.
Il nearly died." says Miss Corio.
THE feature of the performance was
a strip tease. The cousin did not know
what I was laughing at. And could
not explain. It was not the perform
ance the girl gave. That was very
good. 1t was. just the idea of the
thing. Who wouldn't laugh?"
We could not think of any one who
would not, least of all a person who
found herself unable to explain to
relatives quite what she did to become
50 prominent on the stage in this
country.
Miss Corio missed little of con.
tinental Europe. Italy, the birthplace
OF her parents, was the locale of most
OF her two months visit abroad with
her mother. The thing that impressed
her most, which she admits is "senti-
mental" was the rundown condition
OF the little church in Laura, Italy
where her parents were married.
She would like to see it restored.
To that end, she and her mother
were the first contributors to a fund.
Its all right for Pompeii to be q
mass Of ruins, broken stones" she
says, ''but my mother felt differently
about the church. We just had to do
something about that"
So they did.
r OCULAR feature attractions at
the various movie houses this

they are getting intense competition
from the newsreels. The floods In
New England are responsible. Nature,
