Sonia Henie's latest 2Oth Gen. tury Fox picture is thrillingly dif- ferent from anything this famous star has yet done on the screen and makes plus entertainment for any, one. With the aid of Ray Midland and Robert Cummings, who as a pair of enthusiastic young reporters after big scoop fall for Sonia si- multaneously, there is an excellent comedy note injected.
 In addition to the stars amazing artistry and genius on skates and skis, the famous blonde star dis- plays 8 new dramatic talent in a punch-packed story that makes her tops among the actresses of the screen.
 Maurice Moscovich, Leonid Kin skey, Alan Dinehart and Fritz Field are included in the cast. The screen play has the breath-taking Swiss Alps as locale with Sonia navigat- ing the slippery slopes no skis with the ease aid grace of her perform ances on the ice.
 There is also plenty of suspense and danger in the timely story which centers on an exiled statesmen startling the world with his revela- tions and pleas for peace from his Alpine hideaway.
 Here, truly, is an enjoyable pie ture which everyone ought to see. On the same program is another smash hit, '"The Fatal Hour" an- other in the increasingly popular MT. Wong Detective series. Boris Karloff, straight from his role of the executioner in Tower of Lon- don" once again portrays the Chi nese sleuth, capably supported by Grant Withers and Marjorie Rey- holds.
 Tickets for Gone With the Wind starting Saturday, February 3rd, at Loew's Poli, are selling like hot cakes, but we still have some very good seats available for the gala premiere performance. Remember this production will not be shown anywhere except at advanced prices at least until 1941! So buy your re- served seat tickets now!

 Maybe 5usy will try to bribe back this child's good will by giv- ing her something or even offer- ing to exchange mittens.
 Why should she? Next time, if Sis is the type I think she is, the price will go up. The really jeal- ous child has been known to per- sist long after the real reason is forgotten.

everyday occurrence among phar- macists, as the casual reader might infer from your comments, is hardly fair. (W. F. K.)
 Answer-You are quite right, and I was as minimizing as the incom. petent druggist. In one such in. stance ! found that the "druggist" who had assured the readers that it was not potassium chloride but poe tassium chlorate I meant to suggest was not a pharmacist at all. That accounts for the confusion. It was hardly credible that a pharmacist could confuse potassium chloride with potassium chlorate. A medicine salesman is one thing; pharmacist is professional man. My apology to Pharmacy for an unwarranted slur on worthy calling. My face is burning please consider me prop. erly slapped.

CALCIUM AND THE HEART :. MUSCLE

MUSCLE
 Since the A. M. As council on foods sponsored the report on "The Need for the Addition of vitamin BI to Staple American Foods, which refers particularly to a plan to restore" white bread by doctor ing it with a quantity of tl1iamin-- and if that ts restoration I'm a Scandinavian --. even the plodding practitioners whose thinking Is done for them by the Pooh-B Bah himself are beginning to suspect there may be something in all this chatter about nutritional defciency in America.
 Said Prof Cowgirl in that report:
 students of nutrition now ern- phasi0e 6 greater use of the So- called protective foods, which are primarily milk, green vegetables and fruits" tThe professor maybe doesn't care much about eRgs.) "These foods are excellent sources of calcium (milk and green vege- tables) and vitainin o" (green vegetables and friits). However, they do not rate high in vitamir B1 content" Maybe the professor doesn't think B2, nicotinic acid and other factors of the natural B-complex are so importantly. If the American people continue to use wheat" (here the professor certainly refers not to wheat but to refined white flour, but for some reason or other chooses to be vague) "and sugar in amounts currently consumed, simple calcu- lation reveals that, in order to se- cure the $50 international units of B1 which has been lost during the past century as result of refine- Inent in milling of wheat, one would be forced to consume tre-
 mendous and impossible quanti- ties of these particular protective foods'-a daily total of 625 ,Grn. of fruit, 600 Gn. of potatoes, S80 Gm. of other vegetables and 1,260 co. of milk. This coznbina ton is, of course, impossible because of its bulk"
 About 45S Gm. in a pound; about 437 co. in a pint. That wouldn't be at all formidable, so far as the large or Irish quart of milk is concerned, but pound and a half of potato is a lot of potato if you have any, thing else to eat. These hard facts city by Prof. Cowgirl should effec- tually silence the eminent but not well informed specialists who con- fidently assure the public that one gets all the vitamins one needs in fairly balanced and varied diet, or that the grocery store or market is the place to buy vitamins.
 Calcium, whether taken as food or as medicine, controls undue nervous and muscular irritability, aids vig- orous contraction of the meart mus cle, and therefore, in my opinion, should be regarded as a heart tonic, that is, in daily quantities eQuiva- lent to the calcium content of an adequate diet-which, for the ordi- nary adult, is approximately IS to IS grains day; for the growing child or the expectant mother 1t should be 20 grains day or more.

M The Local Theaters
STATE

Today marks your final opportu- nitV to see "The Great Victor Her. bert" with Allan Jones, Mary Mar tin Walter Connolly and big cast at the Warner Bros. State theater. My Son Is Guilty" with Jacqueline Wells and Bruce Cabot is the sec- ond big hit on the program.
 Plenty of high-power entertain nlent is in store for theater-goers attending the State tomorrow af- ternoon when Green Hell" co-star- ring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Barbara Stanwyck arrives at that popular theater as the headliner of the splendid weekend screen bill.
 The picture is 8 modern jungle adventure film and according to advance reports, an unusual one due to the fact that the mysterious Inca civilization which flourished in Peru hundreds of years ago provides the background.
 It concerns itself with the sensa- tional story of seven men and a woman trapped in the tropical jun- gles by a horde of savage headhunt- CTS.
 Fairbanks and Miss Bennett teamed together for the first time are said to make one of the most striking romantic couples ever seen in a motion picture.
 The giant cast also includes Alan Hale as a kindly middle-aged arch- aeologist; John Howard as a young hapyp-go-lucky chap; George San- ders as an English urbane man-of the world; George Bancroft who plays the part of a big, bluff cow boy who likes to sing; Vincent Price as 6 breeding, aloof man and Gene Garrick who portrays an enthusias- tic young chap who is plainly on his first adventure.
 As the second big hit the manage ment will present "Oh, Johnny. How You Can Love-" the most laughable 1ovable show in years which is set to the sizzling song sensation of the nation. Tom Brown, Peggy Moran, Allen Jenkins, Donald Meek and a host of other favorites are included in the giant cast.

Glorfing Yourself

Since nail polish has come to be considered an accessory rather than simply 8 cosmetic, hands are constantly in the spotlight. Whether you play bridge or not, you may be sure that wherever you 60, what ever kind of work you do, your hands are noticed. The smart woman chooses nail lacquer which harmon izes perfectly with the color of her costume as well as her npstick. And she sees to it that her hands are graceful as well as white and smooth.
 She is not much concerned with the size and shape of her hands (that old myth about only tiny, slender hands being attractive has been exploded) but she is de- termined that they have g. per- fectly groomed look about them.
 She does hand exercises at odd moments-when reading or ria ing on a bus or train or sitting in the bathtub. Here are directions for some of her, favorites which keep fingers and wrists flexible and therefore youthful:
