PoLrS

Capacity audiences all day yeS- terday greeted and howled at the "glamour-girl" of lS41, Jack Benny, at the opening day performances, of the half-cenury old gem of the theater, "Charley's Aunt. at the Loew-PoN theater.
 Attired in the traditional dress of the title role, with the corset, bus tie, bonnet and dress which was on and off, Benny earned and leaves no doubt that he while being the greatest comedian of the air also is not too far behind any of the screen comedians, when it comes to getting the long, loud laughs also in a theater.
 "Charley's Aunt" has delighted audiences all over the world for over 50 years with the greatest comedians of the stage in the title role, but there is doubt If there ever was more thrilled audience at any showing of this piece than yesterday, patrons stated that they had become weakened by the con- tinuous laughter, caused by the comedians antics, especially when he acted as the chaperon for the young ladies and again when two relentless suitors, unaware of his true identity, kept proposing mar riage to him, you must see these scenes to fully appreciate them.
 Benny is the funniest lady in the land in this, his most hilarious screen role to date, and for that matter the lines that he has, have seldom been equalled on any of his air shows. He makes a very charming glamour girl" as he is shy and coy and then becomes very daring at times, in the part of the collegian wha poses as woman to aid 2 classmate. A
 The supporting cast is all that could be expected all selected for their ability, in the role of the real" aunt is Kay Francis, who sees through Benny's disguise and helps in most of the situations that arise, James Ellison is cast as the college chum who needs the aid, Edmund GWenn and Laird Cregar are the suitors for Jacks hand. Anne Baxter and Arleen Whelan are the two young ladies who Jack chaperons and Reginald Owen is seen as the head-master, of the school.
 On the same program and making an ideal companion feature is of fered the thrill-laden, action packed, Dressed To Kill", with lloyd Nolan in the starring role.

ture's way of putting us up for repairs. I have found from experi- ments with women's clubs, depart ment stores, and colleges that if you start with perfectly smooth com- fortaEle bed, your insomnia battle is half won. oil your bedsprings once a month to prevent any squeaks and scratching. Turn your mattress once a week to abolish those sleep-thief Jumps.
 Use firm smooth sheets with reversible hems and double tape selvage endorsements so that you will not have any annoying thin spots, and never tuck the top sheet under at the sides. Because studies show that the average person turns once every twelve minutes, you must give yourself plenty of room with no binding or pihning down.

 INSOMNIA
 But if you still find it difficult to coax Morpheus into a generous mood, try some of these slumber ex- erciseS especially designed to be done on a bed. Faithful performance should bring deep and healthful sleep in it's wake.
 1. GRAND SALAANd: Good for unkinking knots. Gives you 8 fluid" feeling. With body upright and arms stretched towards the ceil- ing, kneel on the bed. Let your head drop backward and stretch. Then quickly drop body forward and let your head fall between your arms on the bed, trunk folded back on heels. The motion Is one of quick collapse.
 3. BODY ROLL: Changes blood stream, thereby relieving fatigue. Lie flat on back. arms at sides, knees bent slightly, roll over on side lead- ing with the hips and following with shoulders until you are completely turned over, face downward. Now roll back again and repeat on the other side.
 3. ADMINISTRATOR: Relieves muscular tension. Lie flat on back with arms stretched forward down the middle line of body. Clasping hands in front, raise yourself for- ward, letting hands clasped in front help on upward pull. Body should be raised ten or twelve inches from bed. Then let yourself fall back Imply unclasping hands and dropping them to sides.
 After repeating each exercise two or three times, you should be relaxed and calm enough for . good nights sleep. And once you have turned bed-time into beauty- time, you will Ind that you have the best natural "foundatsonT in the world for your cosmetics.

A LITTLE IS NOT ENOUGH

LITTLE IS NOT ENOUGH
 Not for several years now have we heard even a rumor of any ap- preciable i'll effect from "oyerdose" of vitamins. Five years ago some highly colored yarns were in circu- lation viA the gossip route (not in scientific medical literature) and many old timers in practice rather eagerly accepted these bits of irn- prflopaganda as a convenient exc cuse for their own ineptitude in ap- plying the newer knowledge of nutrition in general practice.
 A typical story, which I have al- ways suspected was conceived and propagated by commercial interests, was that some young mother mis- understood the doctors instructions and gave her baby a daily ration of a teaspoonful of an irradiated er- gosterol (synthetic vitamin D in oill believing 1t to be a kind of cod liver oil. Cod liver oil would con- tain perhaps 800 units of vitamin D in the teaspoonful, whereas irradi- ated ergosteroI in oil contains per- haps 12,0OO units, or 260 units in a drop. The story bandied via the whisper route from person to per- son, not in scientific medical litera- ture, was that the infant later suc- cumbed to an unusual form of pneumonia and postmortem inves- tigation disclosed deposits of call cium in the lungs and other organs One of the reasons why sunshine vitamin D is required for healthy growth and development of infants children and youths is that it is essential for the utilization of cal-

Precision in Play of Top Cards Pays Dividends
B7 WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority


 Precision in the order of cashirg top cards often pays dividends when a bad break develops Today,s hand was played by J. M. Mathews, Jr., of St Louis, Mo. It illustrates the importance of taking aces and kings in just the right order.
 The contract of six no trump is warranted by the cards, for if the clubs break there are plenty of tricks. The opening lead was won by the ace of hearts.
 Dummy led low spade and the jack won. Another spade to the queen brought out the ace. East re- -turned the ten of spades, forcing the king, and South let go diamond. Two top clubs were cashed, and the
 't was revealed. But with
 the only shoppers in aG "ueeze was sure
 shed the top hea diamonds, then led to ou- p diamonds, on the last of whlo East found it i'm possible to hold protection in both black suits.
 This is simple squeeze, such as occurs in one or two boards of every duplicate game. Yet Mathews was the only player in this duplicate game to bag it..

an intelligent girl who puts her mind to 1t can turn herself into just about the kind of mature adult she wants to be.
 If she hasn't beauty she can learn in five years how to be chic. If she hasn't the pretty; soft type of femininity that gets labeled sex appeal, she can make the most of the assets she has and make them count in her friendships.
 A young woman can have as many friends of both sexes as she wants, whether she is beautiful or not, if she has the warm kind of personality that makes others in- stinctively trust her, has pleas ant and ready laugh, has the poise that comes From a healthy self respect, knows how to be kind in little ways and makes the most of what looks she does have.
 FORMULA FOR
 FUTURE SUCCESS
 So those are the things the girl of twenty who looks on herself as social fiop should start thinking about. If she can get into her mind concrete Idea of what she wants to be like in another five years and forgets about not being what she wants to be right now-she can succeed.
 It will encourage her if she will look around at some of the attrac- tive young women of 25 and 30 who are just doing dandy and think about what they were like i've years ago.
 She'll find a reassuring number of them. weren't nearly as attrac- tive as girls as they are as young women.

If you're tired of that left handed tennis compliment, Mice triyl" I'll learn better footwork.
 Footwork,s often neglected in ten- his, but it's as important to the game as it Is to boxing. To play good tennis you must always be ready to move in any direction and must always be in a proper position to hit. That isn't as hard as it sounds.
 Instead of turning or darting in the direction of the oncoming ball and so getting out of position, learn to ''two-step" toward 1t,
 Suppose the ball is coming to your forehand. Slide in it's direc- ton, always facing the net, with the left foot forward and the right dragging, as our diagram shows. When the ball comes you easily turn sidewise, stepping with left foot still forward, and swing your racket. If the mall comes to your back hand, reverse the process, stepping forward on the right foot.
 Just such simple pr1nc1pleS are behind a good service, a strong fore- hand and hackhand.
 In our 32-page booklet George Agutter, noted instructor at For est Hills, explains and diagrams each stroke = backhand, forehand, serv- ice, volleying, lobbing. Tells how to practice, explains good footwork Describes the tennis tactics that win games.

Ginger Rogers in gay, spark ling romantic comedyI That should be good news to the vivacious stars Anany fans. Certainly audiences at the air conditioned State theater, where From, Dick and Harry" had its initial showings today. gave Gin- ger a rousing welcome in this, he1 first film since winning the coveted Academy Award for her sterling work in Kitty Foyle".
 The new vehicle is definitely all- out romantic comedy. In fact. Ginger, as madcap little tele- phone operator, has three romantid leading men playing opposite her. George Murphy, Alan Marshal and Burgess Meredith and the talented gentlemen who play the title roles and help to complicate the life of the little "hello girl".
 Replete with hilarious situations. smart, punchy dialogue and a great deal of whimsical fantasy. the breezy story revolves around the the hectic adventures of a tele- phone girl who allows herself to become engaged ito three men at the same time. Tom is terrifically ambitious car salesman who is de- termined to forge ahead at all costs. Dick is a suave, carefree son of wealth who never did a lick of work in his life, and Harry is 8 happy -go-lucky garage mechanic who would rather fish and loaf than be concerned over the rate of the future. All are charming young gentlemen-all are engaged to the romantic working girl be- fore the story reaches the halfway mark.
 How they influence her ultimate decision when the showdown comes and she is obliged to choose her mate, leads to the surprising cli- max and rounds out a thoroughly enjoyable show.
 In addition to the superb per- formanceS. of the four principals, other fine portrayals are offered by Joe Cunningham and Jane Sey- mour as Ginger's beWildered father and mother; Lenore Lonergan, as her sister; Vicki Lester. as a thea ter usherette, and Phil Silvers as an ice cream salesman.
 : They Meet Again" the second big hit of the program, is a heart warming drama of home folks in, which loveable .'Dr. Christian" saves child from broken heart. Jean Hersholt Is again seen as 'sDr Chris tian", Dorothy Lovett again tak- ing the part of Nurse Judy.
 Plan today to see this show over the weekend att he State and re- member, performances Tuesday evening positively conclude its en- gagement.

cium and phosphorus in the body. So the agents of the commercial interests found 1t easy to convince the half-informed doctors who listened to the story that irradiated ergosterol in oil was tremendously potent stuff an idea shrewcly cal- culated to establish 1t in the thera- peutic armamentarium Incident ally the unsophisticated doctors in- ferred that too much vitamin might do serious hardin.
 I repeat, there is no scientific evil dence that there is any such thing as an overdose" of vitamins in any circumstances. Of course one might take more of one or more vitamins in some concentrated form than may be necessary to maintain vite (better than ordinary functional condition). One might even take more than may be needed to cor- rect or cure 8 health impairment or nutyitional disease due to in- sufficient intake of vitaminS. But In the sense of doing any harm an overdose" of vitamins is virtu- ally inconceivable. I make this as- sertion only after a more than or- dinary survey and study of the sci- entific literature of the subject over 8 period of several years, and in the assurance that it cannot be suc- cessfully controverted.
 As Dr. Norman Joliffe, of N. Y University College of Medicine ex- pressed it, in a hospital staff con- ference, patients with polyneuritis receiving a fair maintenance ration of vitamin B1 (thiamin) showed nc improvement within one month Those receiving twice the mainte- nance requirement. showed slight improvement. Those receiving foul times. this requirement. showed stil more improvement, while those re. ceiving four times the maintenance requirement plus 10 mg. of thiarnir hypodermically each day showed the greatest improvement.
 There is an important lesson t be drawn from this, and I hopt there is space left to drive it home It is this: If you talk vitanins a all for any ailment or functiona weakness remember that a little i, not enough and what some old fogy doctor may blieve "too much" may be neseccary to bring satisfactory results.
