TWO OTHER JEKYLLS

Robert Louis Stevenson's ia
NOUS novel of the tragic DR..
Jekyll and the struggle against his
evil soul, Mr.. Hyde, has furnished
screen material for John Barry
more in 1920 and later for Fredric
March. Now Spencer Tracy is
portraying the characters in a new
version of the story. Tracy does a
grand job of this his first dual
role. Contrary to all other por-
trayals of Hyde on stage and
screen, he is made less gruesome,
Tracy using very little makeup
and relying on his own facial ex-
preSSionS which are excellent. He
is still the mean soul and his APP
pearance will no doubt send some
chills up and down your spine,
but M-G-M has stressed the good
and evil point rather than dwelling
on the horror side.

''RevoIt"

You don't give. when you're
selling. You just take the
clothes OF the rack. You don't
present them. Your attitude Is
that. II the customer doesn't
want them. he doesn't have To
take them. What YOU should
do IL treat him like lost
brother. Ask about his health,
his wife. his children. BE inter
eSted In him. Soften him up.
Then he'll buy"
NUTS TO THAT
Mr.. Mayhew was like that. lie
WAS a verbal masSeuSe. He was
fat and dashing and good-humOred,
When he had sold man once. he
never forgot him, his wife. his
children, his job or his weaknesses.
~ any Eddie said 10 himself:
Nuts 10 that" A guy comes IN
10 buy clothes. II he was shopping
for charm, he'd took up Dale
Carnegie
So that was that. And there
was the fact that he suffered and
was suffering from indigestion Or
dyspepsia that morning He felt
lousy. And II happened that Mr.
Mayhem had been called away for
the day 10 sell 500 boys in a
private school as many suits.
That left Eddie in charge
At II o'clock. he was standing
with ms arms folded waiting for
customers. Business was very
slow. He looked al the two other
statesmen who, today, were his
assistants.
Carl Francis. tall. blond and
aesthetic, was running his comb
Through his wavy hair Steve
BrendoS. square. heavy set and a
little paunchy. was focusing his
two eyes so that they stared at
the end Of his broken nose. SO
! he was cock-eyed.
Steve had been noted football
player in his college days and was
supposed 10 attract that class of
trade. That eock-eyed stance of
hiS was habilual.
STEVE'S THOUGHT
Steve though:
'If | only could get n break,
I'd open my own mems furnish

brands. I'd have one sale a
year. In January. IL would be

And at that moment, George
Henry Thornton strobe in.
Thornton was big shot. He
owned a factory. He belonged TO
the best clubs. He had been an
athlete in his youth but his. chest
had fallen toward his belt and he
squeezed il in with a corset Be-
cause clothes made to fit the
standard size never fitted him. he
believed that the manufacturers
couldn't make clothes any more.
He was bully. He rode sales
ment Everybody. including Eddie,
was scared to death of him. Only
Mayhem could handle him. He
had made Thornton one of
Arnicas best customers. Eddie's
stomach frightened as he moved

he grunted that's just my
luck, The only moment I can

Eddie knew he shouldn't do it.
He thought of Mae and Ella Mae
and Junior. He knew that if he
did il, he'd be fired and he and
the family would all nave to so on

SECRET WEAPON
 USED BY NAZIS
Aqua.G Glider Brings Troops Safely Ashore at Island
 of Crete

London. May 24-(UP)-dermany is using Q new secret weapon, on anua-Riider, to put men down oil the shores of Crete 50 that they can taxi ashore and try to consolidate positions at isolated spots, 1t was understood today.
 The gliders are lowed across from the Greek mainland and released near shore. They alight, and with the power of Q light motor which drives Q small propeller, they make their way to beaches where the troops in them land.
 Reports received here say that the aqua -gliders require perfect condi- tions to avoid capsizing or smash ing up but that their great advan- tage is that they can land In darkness or in seni-darkness unob- served, whereas ordinary gliders might be intercepted or detected as they landed.
 The German dive-bombers, ac- cording to advices received here, have concentrated their fire on British artillery and anti-aircraft positions.
 Strong waves of the bombers, fol- lowing each other closely, bomb a given position for as long as SIX or seven hours a day.
 It was believed that the German high command had withdrawn all its Junkers-87 dive bombing planes

British Frustrate Nazis Trying toLand on Crete
Mass Execution of Troops on Ships Descrbed-ln Three Hours Entire Convoy With 6,OOO Troops
 Wiped Out By British Boats
By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press staff Correspondent) ]

Alexandria, May 24-(UP)-Brit- ish warships, cleaving at full speed through waters choked with shriek- ing German shock trops, sank fishing boats and an Italian destroy CT, wiping out q force of some 5000 German transport, about 70 Greek Germans. Some of the Axis ships were sunk by the guns of the cruis- CTS and desetroyers which raced through them again and again. Others were smashed by the steel prows of the British craft. All were sunk, and all the picked German troops aboard, who were to have reinforced the German ar-borne troops in Crete, went down.
 The story of the slaughter was told today by officers of the fleet.
 It explained why the Germans have had to continue to depend entirely on air-horne troops, ammunition and other supplies In their attempt to invade Crete.
 There was no chance of rescue for the Germans because the British ships, which normally would have picked them up, could not take the chance of halting and becoming tar- gets for German or Italian motor torpedo boats. ,.--,
 The battle was fought Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The Germans, in approximately 4l ships, had left the PeloponneSuS penin- sula of Greece hoping under cover of darkness to make the 70 miles to Crete and reinforce the air-borne troops who had launched the in- vasion attempt.
 Britains fleet had been awaiting such an attempt. It arrived in Cretan waters, at the northwest side of the island, shortly before midnight Wednesday.
 Darting searchlights, sweeping the black waters all around the fleet, first picked up @ destroyer. It could not be identified for @ mo- ment.
 Strangely, the destroyer was slow to fire.
 But as 6 searchlight on one of the British ships beamed direct on 1t, 1t losed a torpedo. The ships nearby swerved quickly to avoid 1t. At the same time 1t was seen defi- nitely that the destroyer was Italian. Guns of a dozen ships opened and 1t was blown out of the sea.
 "It went up in Q great ball of fire" a cruiser captain said.
 The destroyer was leading Ger man transport of about 1000 tons, explaining approximately 2,0O0 Ger man trops, and about 40 Greek tish- ing craft each of which had about 100 Germans aboard.
 "Our light forces, cruisers with . screen of destroyers, steamed on,

UNIDENTIFIED BOY
 DIES OF WOUND

Boston, May 24-(UP)-Stabbed in the back, an unidentified boy died in the arms of a Dorchester physician last night as he was being taken to a hospital after being found semi- conscious on a Roxbury sidewalk.
 Police held Barnett Daytz, 61, e neighborhood storekeeper, who re- ported earlier he had battled two intruders in his store and had lunged at one with a butcher knife. The boy, about IS years old, was found by Dr. and Mrs. Jacques Berk- owitz and Frank Verrochi Q few blocks from the Daytz store.
 Daytz made two trips to Q city morgue but failed to identify the tictim as one of the intruders he had routed from his store.
