Sonia Henie Will Appear
In New Type Film Role

"A COIllpleIely OlllefeuI type OIL PIC
ture for Sonia Henie presents the
famed skating star in a combined
dramatic and comedy role, at the
Carolina theatre beginning Thurs
day. Sonja's amazingly developed
acting ability makes her perfectly
at home in the story and of course
there are sequences in which Sonia
disports not only on skates but on
the sheer, shimmering ski slides of
the Alps. Although Sonja's role is
essentially dramatic, light comedy
touches are injected when Ray Mil.
land and Robert Cummings, as two
rival newspaper reporters, fall for
her and fight for her love as well
as for one of the biggest stories of
the day. Directed by Irving Cum
mings with a deft touch, Every
thing Happens at Night" is excep-
tional entertainment.
Sonia Henie is starred; Ray Mil
land and Robert Cummings featur-
ed at the head of a cast including
Maurice Moscovich, Leonid Kinskey,
Alan Dinehart and Fritz Field.
The original screen play by Art
Arthur and Robert Harari is a time
w story centered about DR.. Hugo
Norden, a political refugee hiding
in a Switzerland Alpine f%astness. A
great European democrat and fight
err for freedom, DR.. Norden was sup
posedly a~ssassinated in Warsaw, but
from his hideout is releasing to the
world press sensational inside sto-
ries of Europe's stormy politics.
These revelations are anonymous,
but from their content and style
editors begin to suspect they are
from Norden's pen. To check on this
the Paris office Of a New York
paper sends Robert Cummings to
| Switzerland, where he meets Ray
Milland, a reporter from a London
sheet on the same assignment. If
| either can prove Norden is alive it
will be the biggest story in many
years.
Together they meet Sonia Henie,
who says she is a nurse attending
a patient in a mountain chalet, and
the boys fall for. her at once. In
reality Sonia is Norden's daughter
and, while she welcomes the roman
tic attention her position has denied
her, she is afraid the boys will dis
cover her secret. The reporters ro-
mantle rivalry is as intense as their
professional battle. Soon they be-
gin to suspect Sonja's identity out
at the, same time the men who fail
ed at the Warsaw assassination ap-
pear on the scene.
In a thrilling climax the news
men manage to help Norden and
Sonia evade the foreign agents but
how the romance is finally settled
makes for a novel and hilarious con-
cluSiOn.

If A MAN TOOK
SUGAR FROM AIR
WHATTA MAN !
CBy Associated PreSs)
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
APP Science Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Each
person in the United States eats
an average of more than 100
pounds Of sugar year.
One hundred and ten years
ago he ate an average of 10
pounds.
Just when the eating of sugar
as food became widespread is not
known. But in 1922, says Will
liam j. Robbins, director of the
New York Botanical Garden,
sugar was sold by apothecaries
along with spices and drugs.
Sugar, he says, as refined to-
day, represents the purest food
available. 1t has been made so
pure that vitamins and other i'm
puritieS valuable in diet have
been eliminated.
Robbins tells what a human
being would have to look like if
his body, like the leaves of trees
and plants, made its own sugar.
His ears would have to be z or
8 yards in diameter, and fingers
80 feet long, with webbing in be-
tween.
His skin probably would have
to be green, because of the green
chlorophyll pigment with which
plants make sugar.
The huge ears and vast hands
would be necessary in order to
provide as much sunlight absorb
ing area, as is used by plants in
making as much sugar as a hu-
man body consumes in a single
day.
The plant leaf area necessary
to produce the sugar for one man
in a day is 80 to 100 square
meters. Mans skin is only one to
two square meters.
