The Same Director

Edmund Goulding, who also
megaphoned The Old Maid with
such success. took over the direc-
torial post of this one. Bette's
rival here for the Brent's affec-
tons is Mary Aston, whom, we
believe. will surprise you.
Mary has had a long career of
ups and downs. At one time one
of the screens reigning beauties
Mary relied more on her looks
than on her acting ability. When
newer and freSher glamor girls
came along to take Mary's place
she dropped into the background
and it was not until she proved
herself in 'DodSworth' that she
started to come back. In recent
characterizations she has become
more and more prominent and
now she draws a leading role right
along with Brent and Davis in this
picture.

Gus training for operate and con-
cert work about three years ago.
He did quite "a biz of singing
around town and appeared many
times on the Children's Hour on
WJBK.
Last August John went out to
the coast and through friend in
the casting office got an extra
part in the picture When Direc-
tor Norman Taurog, who has a
great eye for youthful talent, dis
covered that John had such a fine
voice he decided to put him TO
some singing use in the film.
Mickey Rooney, too. encouraged
him and so you will see John
lie Bel in his first motion picture

Now I shall 60 on with our talk
about what to do while aboard life
boat. You will remerber I spoke OF
the food problem last Saturday, and
said I'd discuss water today.
In the first place, If I could have
my way, every lifeboat would have a
great supply Of canned foods, along
with plenty of water. Yet person
might find himself aboard one with
out much food or many gallons OF
water. If many persons had to have
water, the supply might be gone in
q week or two.
Then they might remerber the line
written long ago: Water, water
everywhere. but not a drop to drink"
Sailors who have tried drinking
sea water have reported it was
"worse than nothing" The salt in 1t
makes q person more thirsty than he
was before; If much of it is drunk,
1t surely will cause illness and may
bring death.
So the problem is how to get
fresh water.
The first idea, perhaps, would be
70 wait for rain. A good shower
Evening star., 1941-08-30
UNCLE RAYS CORNER
A Little Saturday Talk

would provide enough water to last
for several days. On land we do not
look on rain water as fit to drink,
but in that old lifeboat I'm sure we'd
welcome it. We could store 1t up in
empty cans, bailing it up from the
bottom Of the boat if need be.
When you're on lifeboat, be sure
to save the empty cans when you eat
up the canned goods! Those cans
may help in several ways.
In one case men aboard drifting
lifeboat may have saved their lives
because they had tin cans aboard.
This is what they did:
A can was opened by punching a
hole in the side. near the top. Then
it was almost filled with sea water.
Metal from another can was rolled
into a tube about inches long and
one end Of the tube was placed in
the hole which had been punched
in the first can.
There had been no rain for many
days, so the wooden seats Of the life
boat were quite dry. They were
taken up and broken into firewood.
A sheet Of metal was placed on the
Evening star., 1941-08-30

bottom OF the boat, to serve as a
base for the fire.
The fire heated the salt water and
steam from it passed through the
tube. Before the steam got to the
end Of the tube, some OF 1t cooled
and condensed into drops Of water,
which were caught in another can
In that way, several cans Of salt
water were heated until they pro-
vided steam and then fresh water
The men or the lifeboat were saved
from dying of thirst before the day
Ct their rescue.

Hike to admit, and East rubbed his
hands gieefully. Granted that we
each North and South) bid badly,
who was more to blame?"
That's weird question, in view Of
the number of mistakes made, but
we think that South was more to
blame. The opening spade bid was
sound enough, but North shouldn't
have considered a no-trump re-
sponse. It's very difficult to con-
ktruct a hand in which you should
respond in no-trump when void of
your partners suit. II the hand is
worth response at all. the response
should be in one Of your own suits
In this case, North should have bid
two clubs.
But after North had bid one no
trump. South should not have bid
three spades. Neither his hand nor
the spade suit itself was strong
enough for so forceful a bid. Either
two spades or two clubs would have
been far better.
North probably was doing the SAT-
est thing when he passed three
spades; it was too dangerous to find
. new suit at that stage. And his
attempt to scramble to safety at
three no-trump cannot be criticized
too severely. But South was asking
for trouble when he went back to
four spades when he had been
doubled at three spades. Obviously
North was short of spades and East
was doubling on spade strength.
Four clubs would have been a better
try for safety, and would have led
b sound contract. Curiously
enough, neither partner bid clubs
the only suit in which there was a
good play for game.
