POLI'S

The ambitions, struggles, disap- pointmentS and joys of group of young people who form cast by themselves, whose thoughts and be- havior differ widely from other straa in the social structure, are dramatically barred in Dramatic School" which opens four day engagement at the Loew Poli The ater Saturday.
 The new picture brings to the screen two brilliant acting portray als, one offered by Luise Rainer as the poor student who works in a factory at night in order to earn her tuition, and the other by Pau lette Goddard, who has role of fering an intense dramatic contrast to that of Miss Rainer's.
 Dramatic School' is the story of Louise Mauban, factory worker and drama pupil. She lives in a world of dreams, for everything is play to her. She even creates an imaginary lover whose existence her classmates doubt. They plan to ex- pose her, to place her face to face with the handsome young Marquis whom she boasts as her lover. But the Marquis. stranger to her, plays her game. He falls in love with her and a beautiful romance follows.
 Then calamity falls upon Louise two-fold. She is threatened with ex- pulsion from school and the Mar quis abandons her. Faced with de- feat on all sides, Louise awakens to find herself nominated by her class to play the leading role in the years most important play. She scores a great triumph and not until the Marquis seeks a renewal of her love does Louise realize that her first love is the theater.

but separately organized and main l tained.
 The IS years which Dr. John D. Long has given to fighting yellow fever, bubonic plague, and malaria represent services to the people of South America which it would take many resolution and many pious speech to equal.
 Men like Dr. Edward c. Ernst, Dr. Henry Hanson, Dr. John Mur- dock and Dr. Anthony Donovan, his colleagues, are daily fighting back tropic diseases, helping to inn prove water supply and garbage disposal, saving life. Dr. Long, veteran of the service, is know from the Canal Zone to the Strait of Magellan. and thou sands of South Americans know of service that is quite outside poli- tics and beyond praise. Other American public health doctors who cooperate with Dr. Long under the general supervision of President Hugh s. Cumming of the Sanitary Bureau are the lead- ing supervisors in this international work simply because the United States, with longer experience, has more trained men to send into the field than other member countries. INCREASING VALUE
 With fast airplane travel and the gradual opening up of new roads between the American countries, the value of this work becomes greater every year.
 Thus the necessity for new con- trols. Plans entering the United States from the yellow fever belt are now sprayed to kill mosquitoes which might carry the disease.
 All employees of the airlines are inoculated with anti-yellow fever vaccine developed by the research CTS of the Rockefeller Foundation.
 Dr. Ernest describes the techni- que which gives sanitary officers control without crippling travel and commerce. we issue certificates of origin for all passengers which re- veal whether any have been in yell low fever districts within the incu- bation period. Those who have are passed promptly with the rest, but if their destination in the United States is within the potential yellow Never belt there, local health off, cers are notified, and they keep in touch with the suspects until the period of incubation is safely pass ed.'

And because the work of these men goes direct to the people, be- yond politics, pressing steadily for ward for 20 years despite the ups and downs of governments and cabinets, these American doctors who sit along the fringes of the buzzing knots of diplomats, merely to renew old friendships and con- tacts and not to frame treaties or resolutions, are better ambassadors of goodwill than many be-rib- boned and be-medaled diplomat.
