AND TELLER OF TALES
ATouohax,,
By Bernice FinneSar,

Just as there is no obligation
to read fiction, there is no OBJ
legation to like it. The only thing
that work of art says to you'll is
on this principle that I have chosen
the stories in this volume. I have
been influenced neither by the, rep
utation ncr by the common opinion
that ascribed them merit. These
stories are stories I like cannot
hope that all readers will like them
all. To do so they would have had
to have my particular experience in
life and to share my prejudices
and my interests. I do not claim
that they are the best stories that
have been written during the last
century; they are the stories
amongst all those that have read
that have interested me most"
w. Somerset Maugham's choice
includes most of the great names
of the last century, and attests
the catholicity of his taste. From
England come stories by Christie

aid CT a small diamond, some pieces
of lint, and a cup, Valcour was able
to solve a confused case that came
to q dramatic conclusion only after
Valcour amiably offered to share

erlatively high standard Of Rufus

Attentive Group
Hears Padereuski

One of the most remarkable
gatherings of film extras" was
that forming the audience in the
concert hall sequences of Lothar
Mendes production of Moonlight
Sonata" now being shown at the
Lakewood theater. The script of
the film called for all possible
types to be represented, from dis
tinguished diplomats to the ardent
music students.
When Mendes announced that
he was to make film with Ignace
Jan Paderewski, and that there
would be scenes set in a concert
hall during recital. he was in
undated with requests from ad-
mirers of the great man to have
the honor of appearing in a film
with him.
Neither the Queens Hall nor the
Albert Hall could have ever pre-
scented a more authentic and typi-
cal audience than the one that
came as extras to hear the great
pianist. Men and women from the
peerage. from the great music
centers of Europe, elderly dow
ayers, enthusiastic music lovers
We're in this great audience.
There will be matinee today

performances at and . o'clock

The extent of the quick rise of
this young newcomer from the
New York stage can be easily
gagged BY the fact that he is Civ
en- the starring position IN a truly
notable cast assembled by Warner
Bros. for this production.
In his support are such play
ers as Claude Rains, Gloria Dick
son, Ann Sheridan and MAY Rob
son. while the lesser roles are
handled by Robert Checker. John
Ridgley, Barbara Pepper. William
Davidson. Ward Bond and Rob
ert Strange. among others.
In the motion picture. he is
professional prize fighter. and not
many years ago Garfield himself
was a pretty good fighter even
though he never deserted the anna
teur ranks. In the picture he
buns his way across the country
and works as fruit picker in
California, and that is precisely
what Garfield himself did one sum-
mer about eight years ago.
With this background. the pic
ture alternates between stark
and idyllic romance
and uproarious humor, most of the
latter, of course, being contributed
by the Dead End kids.

There was something almost like
twinkle of mischief in Prickly
Porky's usually dull eyes.
Buster heard some on snicker
back of him. Then he heard some
one do the same thing off to one side.
He knew that his neighbors were

would lose their respect for all time
if without some good excuse he
failed to do to Prickly Porky what
he had said he would do. Buster

Prickly Porky was unprotected. But
Prickly Porky gave him no chance.
