sorrow of later years by Norma

herself young woman, carried
complete conviction in her role OF

Fay BANTER adds her own por-
trayal of an old woman to this ros-
ter in Columbia's THE Lady and
the Mob" directed by Ben Stoloh.
1t was only few years ago that Miss
BANTER was acting on Broadway, in
anything but an old-lady part as

manded of her none of the attributes
Of extreme age.
AS the eccentric Mrs. Leonard of
'The Lady and the Mob however,
Miss Banter is Individually an old
lady, In voice, in walk and in man

very modern old lady, indeed, who
fights fire with flre-even when it's
gun-flre In the action of the pic
ture, Miss BANTER, who is co-starred
with Ida Lupino. plays a woman
who, when racketeers threaten the
integrity of her New England town,
assemblies mob of her own, buys an
armored limousine, and fights the
thugs with their own brand of war
fare.

success has been spectacular since
she first entered films in 1884, in

this years award of the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

And yet she insists that career in
films has worked to bring her right
back where she started from. That's
because she was born in Los An
geles. and made her first profess
sional appearance there in 1909
Ten years later she was on Broad

The second scene of the latter
opera, that magnificent ruin where
cops, pirates, daughters and so
many others come to grips, still is
the most effective in the company's
freight train of sets. 1t received its

which proves that audiences. too,

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Many modern ocean vessels nave
steam turbines instead of the old
style steam engines. When such a
vessel is being made ready for serv-
ice. it sometimes happens that a
giant rotor" is lowered into it by
way of the smokestack!
The rotor of a steam turbine is
great shaft which turns around
at high speed. It is fitted with disks
and blades. A rotor used on an
ocean liner may weigh 10 tons or
more.
Windmills make use of wind. The
wind strikes the blades and makes
them move. In much the same
way, steam strikes the blades Of a
steam turbine and makes the rotor
turn. The turbine uses both the
pressure Of steam and the power of
steam to expand.
Instead of having a few large
blades as windmill has the turbine
has hundreds of small blades, each
one curved a bit The blades are
made with greatest care and each is
the right size down to a thousandth
part TO an inch.
Coal and oil are the fuels used to
Droduce steam for turbines. As they
are burned, they heat water in boil
ers. From the boilers the steam
passes to the turbines.
In many vessels the turbines are
geared directly to the propeller

South managed to go down two
tricks. Now turning to us. he asked,
WAS my bidding wrong?" We re-
piled, Eyes. Once your partner re-
sponded with a spade, you should
have insisted upon playing the hand
in spades with four to the jack-ten-
nine, irrespective OF how the bidding
went"
Later on, after North had gone,
South turned to us once more and
said, II don't see how you can say
that my partner was right and I
was wrong on that hand" Our re-
ply was, You didn't ask us about
your partner; all you asked us about
was your bidding. His four-heart
bid was about as bad as we have
ever seen and much worse than any
bid you made. Once you jumped in
spades, he should have bid either
four spades or three no-trump."
South asked, If he had done that,
how would we have gotten to the
slam?" Our reply was, THAT was
one slam you shouldn't have bid
since in order to make six spades,
you would need a successful spade
f1nesse, a reasonable trump break
and either a successful club hnesse,
a break in hearts or a squeeze.
Finally, even with all that right, the
hand would require considerable
handling since you should have to
trump two diamonds in dummy"
