No mother could be more COM
pletely under the weight of re-
sponsibility for her children than is
the Surinam toad mother who car
ries all of them on her back. She Is
rather primitive and more than
curious looking
These toads were first discovered
in Surinam, a name that was for
merly used for Dutch Guiana. To-
day they are to be found in Trini-
dad, the Guianas and Amazonian-
Brazil. There are several species
that have been studied and de-
scribed.
AS you can see, this toad is a
weird looking creature. In spite of
the very small eyes, closeup
gives you the impression that the
toad is far more intelligent than
it at first appears to be. This is
but an impression, however, for the
toad, though it does have a strange
way of taking care of its young,
has done nothing to give any one
reason to believe it is any different
from its ancestors.
The body is very. very fiat, and
the head is triangular in shapc. TIE
eyes are tiny, and there are small,
tag-like tentacles below them. me
mouth is small, and the poor toad
has neither teeth nor tongue. It
manages, however, to obtain all the
food it needs. The habits are
aquatic and abundant food is always
close by.
The awkward arms are slender
land shapeless, the fingers long and
slender, each one with star
shaped disk at the tip, which is a
most sensitive organ of touch. The

High light on today's schedule
for the gentlemen of the drama
press, there being no ladies any
more, is Mr.. Charles Laughton.
The star of the current, "Hunchback
of Notre Dame" is scheduled to be
interviewed aboard the train that Is
whisking him southwark through
Washington. Because the train does
not stop long enough to permit a
sufficiently adequate examination OF
Mr.. Laughton on what he thinks
of Hollywood, American girls, Amer
lean actresses, etc, the interview
will begin in Baltimore, where the
critics will pick up his train.
Laughton's personal appearance
tour, which does not include Wash
ington, is substitute for his plan
to see America by touring it in q
play. That struck him earlier in
the season as being an excellent
idea and it might have been save
for the fact that no suitable play
was available. With a lull between
pictures and nothing else to do
Laughton decided q few personal
appearances would be just the thing

the way. the Civic Theater pops
back into action with the announce.
ment that Shaw's "St. Joan" is the
peoples loudest choice for a play
that should be done by the group
this season. The standout prefer
ence was expressed on the ballots
distributed to the audiences at the
first two productions of the season
at Wardman Park Theater, "Merrily
We Roll Along" and Awake and
Sing" incidentally. 80 per cent ol
the audience voted an expression Of
interest which ought to make any
drama production group happy over
its hold upon its public.
Not that it indicates a Shaw COM
plex, or anything like that, the
audiences second choice of plays
which it would like to see Civic
undertake is Irving Shaw's THE
Gentle People" That play was the
one which brought Franchot Tone
back to Broadway last season as a
5000 a week employe of the Group
Theater, salary which proves Tone
is an art-for ARTS fellow since
1t represents but fraction of what
he would have been paid had he
remained on M-G-M's pay roll.

One of those voting in the Civic

person with no sympathy for hard

Girvan does not have troubles

is not her old movie self at all, that
she has completely mastered the
art of affability, that time and trib-

she is one of the most pleasant per-

All of this, straight from Shu-
