Travellers Advised
To Go Now 10 See Old
South America
Autos, Movies and
Swing Are Reported
Changing Countries

NEW YORK, April 22.-The little
red school house is playing second
fiddle to the automobile In South
America as q civilizing force, and
the South American who buys an
automobile acquires with 1t q liberal
education in the bargain.
That is the conclusion of Albert K.
Dawson of the American Express
Travel Service. who has just returned
from visit to the company's newly
established ohices on that continent.
Even educators in South America
will agree-sometimes sadly, it Is
true-that the automobile is at pres
ent contributing more to social and
economic progress in their coun-
tries than schools are able to do"
says Mr.. Dawson. This is no re-
Election on education, but it does
throw light on the rapid changes
taking place on that continent.
Ok Carts Disappearing.
"The motor bus is revolutionizing
the lives of hundreds of thousands of
people in South America. Villagers
are giving up their OK carts and pack
mules, and today send their produce
to market in community or privately
owned trucks"
Because of these changes, Mr..
Dawson urges travellers who would
see the old South America to jour-
ney there now, before many of its
picturesque phases have passed. In
Santiago visitors will find that the
high wheeled OK cart, for instance,
is rapidly going out of existence.
Twenty years ago 1t was the only
conveyance to be seen in the public
market; few years hence it may be
relegated to the museums.
The llama, always conjured up by
those thinking of South America,
can now be found only in the high
Andes. In most places the chances
of seeing it are about the same as
those of seeing a buffalo in Buffalo,
NJ Y. The llama's place is being
taken by airplanes and motor trucks.
Swing Creeping In.
But what about the guitar and
its South American strummer? Well,
you had better hurry if you want to
get there before Bing Crosby and
swing put the skids under them, Mr..
Dawson advises. Movies are the
mode today, he points out, and are
one of the most potent forces in
South America for change.
In the villages of Chile the masses
can and do attend movies at prices
ranging from S to 10 cents in Amer
ican money. In the large cities of
the continent the America movie
palace is duplicated practically to
the last detail The masses of
South America know the United
States from its movies, Dawson says,
and the modern South American who
plays a guitar is giving up his ira
ditional love songs and today is ex-
perimenting with swing.

part Of the time, tonight and to-
morrow night.
The Naval Observatory, officials
said, is expecting every one but
the bed patients at Emergency Hos
pltal' out there tomorrow night.
Applications for admission to the
observatory must be made in ad-
vance and it appeared today that
capacity crowd of 135 would be
on hand.
Amateur astronomers and plain
citizens were also getting ready to
have a look at the earth's closest
planetary neighbor. Naval Observa-
tory astronomers advised the public
that to the naked eye the star would
appear as bright tonight-or Friday
night-as it would tomorrow night.
1t rises between and $50 pm.
and is visible until after midnight.
At first it can be seen very close
to the horizon southeast of WASH
lngton. AS it rises, it moves south
ward, but never gets very high.
Mars is rust red and will be the
brightest thing in the sky, except
for the moon, it was stated. Astron-
omers estimate that at its height it
will be 10 times more brilliant than
any other planet.
The Naval Observatory continued
its picture-taking on the giant 40
inch telescope. J. E. Willis, in
charge of the camera, has been sue
cessful in making pictures which
show the polar caps on the planet,
the dark bands around the equator
which are believed to be either
bodies of water or vegetadon-and
the two satellites which circle Mars.

What TO DO FOR
eczema ITCHING
and BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
Resinol Soap and warm water to
soften scales and crusts. Resinol
Soap is suggested because it con-
tains no excess of free alkali, and
cleanses the tender skin so care
fully. Dry by patting with a soft
cloth-do not rub.
Many doctors recommend an oily
ointment because it holds the medi-
cation in contact with the irritated
skin surface, giving prolonged ac-
ton. Resinol Ointment meets this
requirement, and does even more.
For nearly 45 years it has been
and still is - successfully used to
relieve quickly the itching and burn
ing of eczema. 1t contains soothing
ingredients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today and
enjoy comfort tomorrow. Get jar,
also a cake of Resinol Soap, at any
drug store. For free sample, write
to Resinol, Dept. 81, Baltimore, Nd

New prints are necessary because

Mystery Story Wins
Wanger's Approval

No mystery story Walter Wanger
has read since he purchased the
first Dashiell Hammett and S. S.
Van Dine stories for production,
when he was with Paramount, has
had the producer so enthusiastic as
Send Another Coffin" which he
snatched right out of the hands of
rival studios the day the book was
published. Send Another Coffin
is the first noval written by F. G..
Presnell of Chillicothe, Ohio, and
so new and interesting is the charac-
ter of John Webb, the ingenius mid
Western lawyer in the story that
Wanger has taken an option on
everything the author writes about
him in the future. A courageous
investigator with an uncanny ability
to see through the articles of cor
rupt political racketeers, John Webb
is destined to figure in more than
one mystery plot and Mr.. Wanger
wants his future exploits for ex-
elusive perturbation.
Tay Garnett, now preparing
Whose Wife?' starring Loretta
Young, shares Wanger's enthusiasm
for the new mystery story and will
direct the filming of Send Another
Coffin" as soon as screen writer's
complete its screen adaptation.
With a dozen big cities, from New
York to California, now conducting
Investigations of local political
cliques the newest Wanger film
play appears to have unusual time
illness as well as plot full OF
action and suspense.

Oracle Fields Stars
In Little's Revival

Those were vigorous, roistering
days back in the 1905 when South
Africa was tumbling with lust
for gold. And in that rough setting
the diamond-in-th Thorough of the
British stage, Miss Oracle Fields,
fits with perfection to make We're
Going to Be Rich" (now revived at
the Little Theater) a motion pic
ture packing a punch.
It's film that can hit you in the
heart with dramatic moment one
minute and in the midriff with a
good hearty laugh the next. For
Miss Fields is not just the come
dienne you have known her to be
all these years. She is more. She
is a top-notch funster. to be sure.
some of those comic songs of hers
being masterpieces of hilarity, but
she also can make dramatic scene
follow the path she wants it to fol-
low. On occasion In this tale, which
is something of the remaking of a
man and something of woman S
love that lived through adversely
she must turn to straight drama,
now and then with a note of
tragedy in it, and never does she
falter.
Whether she is making you laugh
or bringing a tear to your eye, Miss
Fields is something not to be
missed. There's role in Were
Going to Be Rich" too, which is
tailored right to Victor McLaglen' S
Evening star., 1939-05-31

mans interest in the underprivi-
legged. The major portion of the
drama deals with his defense of the
Clay boys on that famous murder
charge. His two love affairs, with
Ann Rutledge and Mary Todd, are
treated but skimpily. Neither of
the characters is really developed.
Not an oversight on the part of Mr..
Trotti and Director John Ford, but
rather a deliberate intent to put the
emphasis elsewhere.
Another particularly interesting
feature of the Lincoln brought home
to Springfield by Twentieth Century
is that there is no darkness in him.
Where Sherwood created Lincoln
who was the victim of a terrible
inner conflict, Trotti paints a por-
trait which stresses the homeSpun
humor of the man. The Hamlet
touches are entirely absent, but if
they were missed by the world pre-
miere audience, there was no evil
dence of that fact. 1t liked Lin
coin who could be droll and the one
it saw was almost invariably that.
The stress simply is upon the lighter
side of the man Springfield gave to
history and Mr.. Zanuck.
Fonda, who looks quite as much
like Lincoln as Raymond Massey
did in the stage play, gives the per-
formance of his career. He is credit
able every step of the way, at his
best in those passages when a merry
quip is the product of that brooding
quality in the man. In the role of
the pioneer mother, Mrs. Clay, Alice
Brady gives easily the second best
performance of the picture. 1t is
one of those parts tailored to her
special talents and Miss Brady revels
in it.
In the subordinate parts, of which
there are enough to populate the
Springfield of today, the studio has
made use of many of its younger
players. Among them are Miss
Whelan, Marjorie Weaver, Milburn
Stone and many others. Mr. Ford
gets very high level of perform
ance out of them.
1t will be several weeks before
Washington gets a view of the first
Of the Lincoln pictures. Springfield
will still be reveling in its premiere
distinction, and rightly.

Her presence was the masterpiece

natives and the other hundreds of
guests present at the invitation of

probation of it with applause that
could be called tumultuous.
Supplementing Miss anderson in
favoring the occasion with celeb
rites, the studio sent along such
personalities as Alice Brady, Binnie
Barnes, Arleen Whelan, Eddie
Collins and Cesar Romero. With
Lowell Thomas performing as
master of ceremonies, each of the
glamour people made suitable little
speeches as prelude to the show
ing of the picture.
