Warner Bros. perturbation Of the
famed stage comedy that took
Broadway by storm and ran for two
years there with three road-show
companies touring the country. The
stage play was considered to be
grand comedy but wait until you see
the picture, it'll have you rolling
in the aisles.
This picture is laid in and about
the Virginia Military Institute,
which is by no means co-educa-
tional, and the photo play has nary
a song nor a tap-step in it.
Brother Rat" is definitely not a
gangster film. rats" is the name
for a freshman at ". M. /. and
Brother Rats" are classmen who go
together through the four-year
course. They're like fraternity BROTH
ers and are pledged to do every
thing in their power for each other.
Othed notables in the cast besides
the stars include Eddie Albert and
Jane Bryan, Johnnie Scat Davis,
Jane Wyman Ronald Reagan,
Henry O,Neill and many other IA
voriteS.
The second big hit is Garden of

starring Pat OBrien, Margaret

Hollywood commentator, Jimmie

POLLS

Saturday the Loew Poll theater
presents the most spectacular hit
since San Francisco"-namely,
''Suez" which stands out as a mira
Gle of screen achievement. This
great film brings to life one Of his
tory's most colorful and exciting
characters, Ferdinand de LeSseps,
the hero of the building Of the
famed Panama Canal. The role Of
de LeSseps, is given a vivid char
acterization by Tyronne Power who
recently turned in such fine per-
formances in the triumphs, "Alex-
ander's Ragtime Band" and Marie
Antoinette."
Ferdinand de Lesseps, contrary to
the fact that most great lovers Of
history were notorious for their lack
Of fire and color In the fields of adj
venture and daring, embodies ali
those attributes that make for in
spired cinematic material. He was
bold adventurer, driven by the
love of two women-ore ever at his
side and grateful for anything he
would give, one haunting him with
the vision Of love denied him--fac-
ing the raids Of Bedouin tribeSmen
and the terror of the black simeon,
to wrest a mighty waterway from
the desert sands.
Probably the greatest thrill Of the
entire picture Is the black SIMEON,
the terrifying wind which is said
to equal the gigantic earthquake
scenes Of the memorable Aim San
Francisco" Twisting, torturing, all
destroying devil-wind Of the
desert roarS across the screen with
a savage fury that makes 1t one Of
the most uraforgettable spectacles
ever seen on Aim. Leveling every
thing In its merciless path, the
storm Is natures last mighty effort
to stop de Lessep's great work
and nature fails.
For really sheer spectacle, the dra-
matte scenes In "Suez" are unsur-
passed by any other picture to date.
'Suez' Is q very important part Of
the Movie Quiz $25O,0Q0 contest.
The second hit on the program

vile and radio artists, the Weaver

If you fully intend to be attrac-

months ahead, you ought to:
Protect your skin from cold
winds during the day and apply
softening cream every night.
Refuse second helpings Of the
rich connections that Solicitous
hoStesses are In the habit of in
GLIDING in their dinner menus as
the holiday season approaches.
Do a few limbering and stretch
ing exercises daily. And take a
brisk walk every day even
though the temperature outside is
too cold to be inviting.
Brush your hair every day. And
have shampoo once a week.
Use waxy base underneath
your nail varnish--to protect your
nails, keep them from splitting
and driving out.
See that your diet includes ade-
uuate quantities, of vitanin rich
fresh vegetables and salad green's,
milk and orange juice. You need
these now even more than you did
last summer.
Apply hand lotion several times
day. If you don't, your hands
are likely to become rough and
chapped looking.
See that your makeup harmon
ICES. Light red nail polish and
purple-red lipstick won't do. If
your lips are covered with the
latter shade, by all means use
nail varnish in a harmonizing
tone. It can be light or dark,
but it must have purplish lights
in it.
Wear a foundation garment
which makes your waistline seem
positively tiny, hips neatly round
ed, bosom naturally high.
Find time, then take that time,
to learn more about one thing
which interests you. It can be
music or horss, or stamp collect
ing or needlepoint, and you can
call it hobby If you like. But,
hobby, or no, you'll be happier
and therefore more attractive If
you save some small part of each
day for yourself.
