In New Orleans, La, the Times

can fisherman had written to King
George suggesting a solution for
Britain's troubles with German

British get 500 of Louisiana's big
gest alligator gar fish, place steel
bands around them, and turn them
loose in mine-infested waters. The
CARS, it was said, would run into
the submerged mines and explode
them.

Books and other printed matter
should not be laid fiat upon the desk
or table in reading, says the Bet
ter Vision institute Reading is much
more comfortably performed when
the printed matter is held at an

ing the book to obtain greatest eye
comfort the book should be moved

the reader, with no shadows on the
printing When these precautions
are taken a person can sit up.
straight and carry on his reading
most comfortably.

CRITICS PRAISE
 STRAND PICTURE
He Stayed for Breakfast
 Starts Sunday With Girls of the Road

Ending tomorrow evening at the
 Warner Bros. Strand theater is ''The Return of Frank James" star ring Henry Fonda with Gene Tier ney, Jackie Cooper, Donald Meek, John Carradine and Henry Hull; also From Browns School Days" with Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Fred die Bartholomew and Billy Halop.
 Funnier than "The Awful Truth" :" better than Tt Happened One Night, and greater than You Can't Take It With You" are the raves of the critics concerning the hilarious hit: "He Stayed For Breakfast" which comes to the Strand on Sun day for an engagement of three days.
 Two of the screens grandest stars head the cast of this rib -tickler. They are Loretta Young, who reached the very forefront of Holly wood comedienen ranks with her performance in "The Doctor Takes a Wife; and Melvyn Douglas, whose abilities as a sophisticated comedian are too well known to expand upon
 Douglas is seen in the new film as politically conscious waiter, who detests a prominent financier, and finally takes pot-shot at him. A fugitive, he hides in the apartment of the bankers estranged wife, played by Miss Young, and she con- trives to conceal him not only from the police but from her former husband, eventually falling in love with him herself and eventually, too, taking a pot-shot at the banker herself.
 As the unhappy target, Eugene Palette is excellently cast. Alan Marshal provides an effective foil, as his friendly rival for Miss Young's affections, and Miss O'Connor is equally enjoyable as Miss Young's cockney maid.
 The second big hit brings to the screen the stirring story of girl hoboeS as told in Girls of the Road" Ann Dvorak, Helen Mack and Lola Lane head the big cast.
 Topping the new show opening at the Strand on Wednesday is War ner Brothers thriller "The Sea Hawk" starring Errol Flynn in the title role with a supporting cast of thousands. On the same big pro- gram will be the latest in the hilarious adventures of the Bum steads, Blonde Has Servant Trou-

UNUSUAL STORY
 IN STATE FILM
Angels Over Broadway" !" Beginning Sunday, Stars
 Fairbanks, HaywOrth

The Towards of Virginia" CO., starring Cary Grant and Martha Scott ends its four day engagement at Warmers State theater tomorrow evening. Also concluding it's engage ment is Glamour For Sale" with Roger Pryor and Anita Louise"
 Hailed as one of the most unusual productions of the year is Ben Hecht'S Angels Over Broadway" which opens a three day engage ment at the State starting Sunday.
 Starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., with Rita Hayworth, Thomas Nit chell and John Qualen it is the thrilling, tender story of four of the most unusual human beings ever brought to the screen.
 The picture finds breath- taking beauty in the squalor and murk of rain-swept city; excitement and adventure in wispy little mans eff fort to end his troubles by suicide; heart-filling romance in the strange and wonderful meeting between a boy who thinks he's tough and a girl who is afraid of the future and fearful of the past.
 AS the Broadway "wise guy", young Fairbanks brings to the screen a characterization completely new and strange, and does so with the smooth assurance, not of the born actor but of the born Broad wayite whom he represents. Miss Hayworth is equally appealing in her role, an intriguing and delight full study of girl out of nowhere. Thomas Mitchell, that master of human characterizations, adds an- other feature to his already over burdened cap with his performance as the drunken playwright, philo- Sophically trying to re-write life the way it should be and never knowing that he has amazingly succeeded.
 John Qualen, last of the quartet, is equally important to the film, as numbed, minimizing victim of cir cumstances who finds himself the hero of situation he once would have deemed incredible, who finds himself meeting on their own terms from the strange new world of gilt tering Broadway, of shadows and shots and screams.
 In bringing these characters to the screen the splendid cast SUD- plies performances as fascinating and as human as the basic narrative itself, performances both moving and memorable.
 "The Secret Seven, with Bruce Bennett and Florence Rice will be the second big hit of the program.
 Starting Wednesday the State will proudly present Deanna Durbin's eighth successive hit Spring Par ade." Featured with the popular Deanna are such favorites as Mis- cha Auer, Robert Cummings and Henry Stephenson. On the same program will Father Is A Prince" featuring Grant Mitchell and Mana Bryant. Coming soon to the State is the much-discussed 'The Ram parts We Watch, the first full- length feature produced by March Of Time" Watch for this sensation al production.

to be one of the outstanding voices of the day. The concert will be in the Women's club auditorium at 8:30 o'clock.
 Miss Maynor possesses tremen- dous vocal range and sings equally well coloratura arias, German ied- CT, and Negro spirituals. She began her career in music with the Hamp- ton choir.
