self Z form Of AN broadcasttng
MAJOR Armstrong decided that
90 eliminate static he must ind
smother principle for radio
broadcasting.
IN order TO superimpose q
sound current on the electrical
waves which carry 1t through
the ether, some characteristic OF
the sound current must be
varied. Heretofore broadcasters
have varied voltage strength, or
amplitude. Major Armstrong
proposed to modulate frequency
or the number Of cycles per
second.
Out Of his laboratories, after
a long and bitter series of patent
battles and experimental fail
ures, came FM. II did what was
asked of it-eliminate static
because It's receivers were built
to reject amplitude meditation.
Thus emerged the widely pub
licized "static-less" quality OF
FIN and its undisturbed recep-
ton in the very heart Of an
electric storm.
HIGH FIDELITY
REPRODUCTION
But FIN did more than that. It
could reproduce all sound, from
80 to $4,000 cycles per second
while AM is generally limited
to about 1000 cycles. Because
of this, FM broadcasting retains
the harmonics and overtones
which give sound depth and
sharp definition. This makes
possible a high fidelity reproduc-
ton unmatched in AM systems.
To demonstrate FMS capacity
for perfect reproduction OF
sound, q group of guests was in
vited to an experimental broad
cast. When the party arrived
= in the auditorium where the re-
ceivers were set up, a pianist on
the auditorium stage was play
ing incidental music. He con.
tinued to play for some time and
impatient guests wondered when
the demonstration would begin
Then, one by one they realized
that, though the music con-
tinued uninterrupted, the pianist
was no longer playing. In fact
they learned, he had never been
playing at all. The music was
being broadcast by FM and it!
reproduction was so good thai
it appeared to be coming from
the stage piano-which was only
q dummy.

credit for something you work
ed hard to create!"
The elevator operator turned
around and stared. Beatrice paid
no attention.
On the sixth floor, Anthony
drew Beatrice into the corner
near the fire exit. His face was
very sober. He put his hands on
her shoulders, looked squarely
into her eyes.
II don't want you to do this
just for me, Bee," he said. "I'm
all for it, and I'm mad clear
through, and I can get another
job anyway. But - it'll make
trouble for you. Are you sure
you want to-"
"Of course, I'm sure!" She
patted his lean cheek. Don't
worry about me. I can take care
of myself. You'd better start
worrying about that merchan-
disc manager. I'm going to kill
him!''
Bee, listen" His arms tight
ened. "Tll 60 in by myself.
That way, he can't blame YOU"
II wouldn't miss it for the

at Anthony's concern for her.

flashed. II might as we'll tell

said doubtfully. What is 1t
about?"
Beatrice walked right past her
and opened the door. In the i'm
posing office, a small paunchy
man sat at a large desk. He look
ed up in surprise. When he saw
Anthony, his face hardened.
"What do you want?" he
raped.
II want an explanation of that
co-ordinated clothes idea that
was 50 rotten when I walked in
here with it," Anthony answer
ed grimly. II want to know
how it got so good, after l left,

Beatrice coldly. II happened to

Mr.. Fletcher got up. He walk

 A better selection of stars for the two top roles cannot well be imagined. Flynn's performance cor1l- pines the reckless daring which has made him such Q wide favorite with depth and maturity that lends credence to his role of sur- geon. MacMurray, natural as al- ways is completely at home in his pilots garb and the hard-bitten cynicism of the seasoned flyer.
 The cast, in addition to Flynn and MacMurray, includes Ralph Bellamy, Regis Toomey, Robert Armstrong, Allen Jenkins Herbert Anderson, Craig Stevens and Q score of other young leading men in minor cadet and pilot roles. Only woman in the cast is the startling ly lovely Alex is Smith who appears briefly but memorably to stir up a little trouble between Flynn and MacMurray.

STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is New York Town" with Fred MacMurray, Mary Martin and Robert Preston; also "The Pitts burgh Kid" starring Billy Conn, the most talked of figure in the sports world.
 Something decidedly different in film fare comes to the State torlor- row when Hold Back the Dawn" tri-starring Charles Boyer, Olivia de Havilland and Paulette Goddard, opens an engagement of four days.
 This gripping romance is that rarest of rarities, according to re- ports and is something new under the sun.
 Orchids for fine performances are nothing new to the dark-eyed Boyer. Critics state his work in this film should not him whole florists shop, fixtures and all. 2.
 As George Iscovescu, 8 four-star heel from the once -brightspots of Europe where he fieeced wealthy women, he Inarries an unsuspecting American girl, intentions strictly dishonorable. His idea is simply to get across the border into the United States and, once by the immigration gate, toss her over like worrny apple and return to his easy living profession. Yet, for all its tense drama and swift adventurous pace, Hold Back the Dawn" is laugh- filled and has many moments of hilarious comedy.
 Most of the action takes place in a little Mexican border town, a haven where European war refugees spend weary months and years waiting for their American viscas.
 To say Hold Back the Dawn" is different is to put things mildly. In the female department the Misses de Havilland and Goddard really do big things with their lush roles.
 Supporting the stars is an ex- ceptionally able cast, including Wal ter Abel, Curt Bois, Rosemary De- Camp and little Billy Lee.

At first, it's all rather confusir to an interviewer. You look at th neat chassis and into the big, soul full blue eyes. Now, you ask yoursn'f could this blond package possibly have been tossed out of the Broaa- way cast of "The Women," where she played a revealing bathtub scene, for not having enough physi- cal allure?
 And then Miss Havoc grins, and you have the answer. The gal is funny. She looks more drollish than soul-ish, more quizzical than physi- cal, more screamy than dreamy, more clamarous than glamorous. And per- haps she even was ludicrous when nude-icrous.
 SAD EYEFUL
 I saw her over glass of milk in a local bistro. T make more noise and have more fun than anybody" she said. "But I never drink"
 However" she added, tits long time between pictures, if not drinks. You know, I came here--or was dragged here-20 years ago, when I was 3. In Seattle I'd been given dancing lessons from the time I could walk. Mother thought I was wonderful, but Hal Roach actually hired me because I had such sad eyes. He hired Gypsy because she was so pretty"
 Soon they went into vaudville. It was the graceful Rose Louise Hovick who forced June Evangeline Hovick into being a comedienne. June stood in funny attitudes to try to hide her scrawny legs. She was the more tal- ented, though; sang and did toe- dancing.

So enthusiastically have audi- ences acclaimed "A Yank in the R. A. F.", now showing at the Loew Poli tlleater, that the film has been held over for another three days, and will end its engagement here on Thursday evening. This thrill- ing story about Britain's flying fighters, is a positive smash hit; It is a really Outstanding film, With action dominating the well-paced story. Star Tyrone Power is mag nificent as the Yank; Betty Grable is grand as his American dancer sweetheart--it is Hollywood at US best, a great picturel
 All the pictures exciting scenes stand out, such as the Dunkirk evacuation with a cast of thousands perforning realistically to provide the years top battle scene: the dog fights which were actually filmed by the R. A. F. in action; a tense flight in a British bomber flying high over Germany: dive bombers attacking fleeing boats.
 Tyrone Power gives his finest performance as the bored Yank who is anxious to go into action. A brasf, fiippant young man, he again has the kind of role which demands and gets-superb acting. And Betty Grable, in her first dramatic role, shows that she is tops as an actress. Tn addition to her dram atic scenes in which she excels, She sings and dance to two new hit tunes by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger. "Ho-Ya Love" and An other Little Dream Won't Do Us Any Harm"
 John Sutton, as Tyrone's com mander and rival in love, Reginald Gardiner, as the pilot who can never get a girl friend, and Gladys Cooper, as 8 flyers mother, give excellent support.
 "A Yank in the R. A. F."sis an absorbing picturization of England's flyers at work-and at play. Don't miss itl
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Niagara Falls, with Rom Brown, Marjorie Woodworth, Slim Summerville and zasu Pitts.
