one OF the most interesting l''i-

the presence of /" group Of attack
planes. Army tacticians consider
that the plains country, whcr"

four concentration areas will save
transportation expenses, no small
item when such vast distances sep

do not constitute such problem
when mancuvCrS are held in the

Representatives Of the general
staff of the army are expected 10
be present at the various conccn-

worked out at the Atlanta head

Sand GuIps HomIets

Wind-blown sand along the coast
near Bredasdorp, South Africa, is
swallowing fishing villages. At Rys-
punt an entire hamlet has been
buried by the shifting sand, and
another village, Admission, is threat
ened. The devastation has been
wrought in spite of the efforts of
the government to combat the
dunes. In 1886 a 25-year plan was
launched to reclaim the sand areas
in this region, and large tracts
have been planted with tough mar
ram grass. During recent geolog-
ical times there have been at least
three changes in the direction and
intensity of the wind along this
coast. Now the dunes pile up rap
Idly. The trouble, however, is at
tributed primarily to human negli-
gence, with deforestation as the
most destructive factor.

Remeshine the Gears
Helpful in Winter

Winter is q season in which to be
cautious about having the gears slip
out of second when going downhill
in gear. If the roadway is slippery
and the driver nervously tramps on
the brake pedal too hard, fearing
the car will get out of control while
he is trying to get back into gear
again, there is apt to be skid. All
this can be avoided by remeshing
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-11-24

the gears several times on the des-
cent. This can be done by pressing
the shift lever toward the second
gear position while .declutching mo-
mentarily.
While it is true that gears Of
modern cars are slipping out of mesh
with annoying frequency, due to the
flexible mounting Of engines, 1t is
we'll to remember that less Of this
annoyance can be expected II the
car travels slower.

Of error in bearings. 1t can be in

man to find his way in town, but he

there is nothing to guide him. In

WINS RARE ATTENTION
Zorina was scheduled for all
birthday shows. Zorina was in
vited to Mrs. Roosevelt's lunch
con, Zorina went to the Gold
plate breakfast, zorina wonder
fully composed, spoke at a May
flower luncheon in delightful
accent, zorina danced with
Jefty O'Connor and other celeb
rites at the Carlton, zorina at
tended the President Roosevelt
broadcast, Zorina made the
front pages, and the amusement
sections, as we'll as the roto-
gravures.
All very nice for the "Goldwyn
Follies," released for the screen
two weeks later, where Zorina
was a beguiIing study in grace,
a lovely shadow in Technicolor
celluloid, but still Just a dancer
of the aesthetic school. And a
toe dancer. or an artist in feath-
cry grace, has yet to reach the
top rung in Hollywood. I don't
know whether Sam GoldWyn
picked up her option-if he had
any-at any rate she was free
to sign with Producer Dwight
Wiman for II Married An
Angel"
1 think Zorina will probably
accomplish more by the sensa-
tional hit she made in this
Rodgers Hart musical in New
York than she did in her highly
successful artistic success in Hol-
lywood. For she has been taken
up by the national magazines,
and columnists are beginning to
fight over whether she is the
beauty of the age.
The Sunday feature sections
are filled with stories of zorina,
and Hollywood is eager to get
her right back. But she has a
run-of-the play contract with
Producer Wiman and the screen
must wait until Il Married An
Angel" has fulfilled its stage
dates.

here, and by now he must realize
he had a swell date on January
20.
The show is all about a man
who married an angel. a real
one, big silvery wings and every
thing, who had come down to
earth. The wings made it a little
difficult for him to embrace her,
but after a few tries she lost
them anyhow because she was
no longer an angel. The plot
continues with many amusing
slants on the practicability of
virtue. But constantly telling the
truth she embarrasSes her NOR
tai husband beyond words, then,
trying to please. she starts tell
ing lies. And that makes matters
worse.
Much of the dialogue is in
verse, and half Of the first act
is ballet.
NOW WHO OWNS IT?
Here's an interesting twist on
IT Married an Angel" and why
Metro Gofdwyn-Mayer is pom
dering, and puzzled. The mu-
sical is based on a Hungarian
play that was a flop. It so hap
pened, however. that the late
Irving Thaiberg saw it in Buda-
pest, thought it had great pos
Sibilities for the movies, bought
the screen rights.
Astute Mr.. Thalberg had
Rodgers and Hart complete a
musical score, which includes
the theme song now used in
the stage version. Then in Cul-
yer City conferences it was de-
cided that the matter of getting
the story by the Will Hayes Of
flee made it impractical as a
movie.
There was a feeling that the
fabric of the plot might be con-
sidered sacrilegious. So Il Mar
ried an Angel" never reached a
production stage in Hollywood.
M-G-M still has the rights to the
play, and the title. You figure
out who will eventually produce
this Broadway hit, if it is trans
ferred to the screen.
