"SWEETHEARTS" is TOPS
If there were an Academy
award for the best musical of
1888, "Sweethearts" would fight
it out for the honor with The
Great Waltz" and "Alexander'S
Ragtime Band"
Three different types of mu-
Sical, but all extra special. Alex
ander" was a cayalcade Of popu-
lar song, waltz" glorified the
Strauss melodies and Sweet
hearts" the grand SemiclaSSical
music Of Victor Herbert in reels
of exquisite color.
Again say the musicals ought
to have a separate classification
in distributing the annual laurel,
a plan that would give Nelson
Eddy as good a chance as Spen-
Ger Tracy.
Which reminds me heard a
lovely lady through the loud
speaker tell Arthur Godfrey this
morning she would be COM
pletely happy this Christmas If
Santa Claus would leave her
one ticket for the Nelson Eddy
Washington concert. This re-
clral is due in March, which
gives you an idea Of how far
ahead Nelson Eddy's followers
prepare.

time"-except for the shallow
story which replaces the original
book Of the Herbert operetta.
This is an attempt by the
renowned Dorothy Parker, and
her husband, Alan Campbell, to
bring the musty pages Of Harry
B. Smith and Fred de Gresac'S
libretto up to date. Story Of
the new "Sweethearts" is un-
worthy of the platinum voice
principals, but Director Woody
Van Dyke trotS out his singing
aces whenever his scenario be-
comes too banal.
In the 1888 version, Jeanette
Macdonald and Nelson Eddy
are two musical comedy stars,
playing in "SWeetheartS," for
their sixth season on Broadway.
Some hit. They are happily mar
ried, and the only conflict comes
when Hollywood tries to WOO
them away, and jeanette sus-
poets that Nelson Eddy has been
playing around. BY the last
reel everything is nicely straight
ened out.
BEAUTIFUL GOWNS
There is some gentle ribbing
of Hollywood woven into the
fiction, but apart from the
grand singing, moviegoers will
remember jeanette MacDonald's
beauty, and the fact that in one
scene Adrian gives her nine
changes Of costume, all up-to-
the-minute fashions.
Nelson Eddy sings divinely
and that, for his following. is
sufficient. Frank Morgan, Flor
ence Rice and Mischa Auer have
the other important roles. In
the opening sequences Ray Boil
ger has a chance to bend his
rubber legs, and the one regret
is that more footage could not
be allotted this superlative
hoofer.
"Sweethearts" was Loew's pre-
view Christmas treat yesterday

The Good Desert
JULY ON THE DESERT

There's no use denying the fact
that July is hot in the desert. The
sun rises bright and clear, the tenn
perature mounts from the comfor-
table seventies to the hot nineties
in a comparatively few minutes af-
ter sunrise. The humidity drops as
rapidly from near the dew point
to a few percentums of atmospheric
moisture If one is near a self re-
cording thermometer and humidity
apparatus, he can see the needles
lump as the day advances. Such a
march of heat and dryness is but
a foretase of the ensuing summer.
Gone are the cool bright mornings
when some sort of wrap is neces-
sary in those glorious June nights
and before-sunriSeS, and instead
the mighty sweep of the warm sum-
mer is upon one.
How are we desert dweller to cir
cumyent the coming 60 days? Here's
howl
|. Plan work according to temper
ature curves; do not neglect this.
Make your work agree with the
weather and do not expect the
weather to agree with your work
for it seldom does.
2. Do not work between II noon
and in the afternoon; take the
time-honOred "SieSta" so dear to
all of the dWellers of the hot coun-
tries. BY doing an hour and half'S
work at or near the sunrise hour
and the hour OF sunset you can al

die of the day.
3. Plan your sleeping hours in
conformity to the temperature
curve of the night, remembering
that the comfort line of tempera-
ture and wind parallels the waning
hours after midnight.
4. Eat nourishing, palatable food
to fortify nature and do not depend
upon melons and juicy fruit. One
cannot drink too much water; see
that more than the usual amount
of salt is taken to offset that lost
in perSpiration. Abstain from all al
coholic liquors during hot weather
and drink sparingly of soft drinks
as well. Not too sweet lemoade
and somewhat salty barley water
admirably offset high temperatures
and low humidities.
