 "The public has been getting all the good songs-it's the bad tunes that have fallen by the wayside. We just don't record them. But some of the hits have suffered a little bit, too. For instance, we have orders for 100000 records of Jersey Bounce many of which we won't be able to fill

STRAND

"Ptturi" is herel For sheer thrills and realism 1t is doubtful whether any other screen production can ap- proach the unusual Australia film "Pituri," which opened today for a four-day run at the Strand the ater. Combined with the weird and sometimes revolting. yet unusual customs of the stone age bush blac..S Of the great Australia north west, it unfolds sequences of beau tiful romances, dope rings, murders, thrilling battles, treasure hunts and jealous and greedy passions.
 The story concerns a beautiful young authoress who is kidnapped by willy Afghan, the leader of 8 dope ring who uses her as bait to trade in the kingdom of strange white king. Mara, the white king, forces his uncouth attentions upon his captive but soon learns that white mans ways must be used to get her love. In the meantime a rival dope ring attempts to seize Mara's priceless rubies, but Mara plyays each ring against the other in an attempt to force open war fare. Moopil, black killer, unwit- tingly aids Mra when he kills the rope runners of one of the rings. A sloe-eyed Eurasian girl, slave of the ring, attempts to force her at- tentions on Mara, but finds the white girl in her way. The Eura- sian girl puts the desert love potion "Pituri" (which strange to relate is used by the natives as heart sti- nulant on long treks and as a love potion If one fails to respond to an- others love advances) into the white girls food. The white girl after re- turning from a bathing scene, in fact, nude one that puts the fam ed ecstasy to shame, partakes of the food, and with the drug racing through>her veins, throws herself upon Mara, who, smelling the drug upon her breath, revolts at her touch and forces her away from him. The young girl feels all the per.-up ha- tired of Mara, as his loathing of the drug, pours torrent of abuse upon her. Seeing by her expression that she was unaware of taking the drug, he realizes that the jealous Eurasian had attempted to make him hate the girl for being a drug user, real- king his mistake, his powerful arms

"Eucourage growing boys to sw

Encourage growing boys to swim"
 Such Is the advice of Johnny Weissmuller, four times Olympic champion, and the Tarzan of the screen, to all parents. Weissmuller who with Maureen O,Sullivan and Johnny Sheffield stages an amazing exhibition of underwater swimming in "Tarzan's New York Adventure" his latest appearance as the Edgar Rice Burroughs hero, which comes today to the Loew's Poli theater, de- clares that personally he owes his acutla health to swimming.
 T was sickly as 8 youngster, and took up swimming on that account" he relates.
 Swimming, Weissmuller believes, is the ideal all-round sport, developing all portion of the body and all mus cles uniformly.
 Other sports develop only certain muscles" he declares. '"Take box ing for instance. It developes torso and arms. But notice the old time boxers. Their legs almost invariably went back on them. T took up box ing before took up swimming. l was long. Thin youngster, and any boxer my own weight was usual- ly much smaller-and with my long reach I could simply hold them off. Finally a little fellow came into the gymnasium and challenged me. He was really expert boxer, and slid under my arm and handed me a wallop that made me see a million of stars.
 Then I decided to take up swim ming.

In The Local TheaterS
STATE

Tn response to innumerable re- quests from thousands of Waterbur- fans, "Wings For The Eagle" will be held over at the air conditioned State theater for three extra days and will continue showing daily through performances Tuesday eve- ming.
 The new hit Is acclaimed as Ann Sheridan,s biggest topping by far her sensational performance in the recent Kings Row.. Co-starred with Ann in Dennis Morgan.
 Telling its story not through the soldiers and sailors on the warning front but through the men and wo- men who turn out our planes, "Wings For The Eagle" Is Q must see fof everyone as it is packed with action, drama and excitement.
 Lovely Ann Sheridan and debo- nair Dennis Morgan have the lead ing roles with Jack Carson and George Tobias in the supporting cast. The film is set, for the most part, in the huge LoclGheed Aircraft Plant. Ann and Jack play the role of a married couple who split up when Jack becomes irritated over having wasted his money on a phony engineering course.
 Morgan portrays care-free char acter who lands job at the Lock- heed plant in the hope that his draft board would consider his job essential" But Pearl Harbor changes his mind in hurry and he realizes he had a wrong slant on things.
 Dennis also takes advantage of Ann,8 quarrel with Carson and goes all-out in his attempt to be pleasing but he soon learns that her heart is still with Carson. Tobias, as usuaI gives a splendid performance as the shop ofreman whose whole life < wrapped up in Lockheed and rnt patriotic fervor to speed up tht work.
 Bullet Scars" with Regis Toome, and Adele Longmire is the second big hold over hit.
 Don't forget :. Reap The Wilt Wind" makes its local debut at thu State starting Wednesday with ; giant cast of twelve top stars. Tht new epic was produced and directed by that genius of the screen Cecil B DeMille.

UnderWa- ter swimming, he warns, should be practlced only by growing boys, as holding the breath too long might be dangerous. That becomes matter of practice" he adds, land as mat ter of fact isn't really part of swimming but a trick to show off with. Straight swimming is what the body really benefits by"

 Hollywood-"Actors wanted. Ex- perience desirable, but not essen tial. Must be personable and re- sonably handsome. but should have physical handicaps such as wooden leg. leaky heart of 10 per cent vie sion. Special preference given mar ried men with large famalies. Ages 25-40 favored, but men up to 50 considered. Excellent opportunities for fame and fortune while working with stars such as Hedy Lamar. Ginger Rogers. Dorothy Lamour. Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney and others. Applicants should get Into little-theater or stock companies to be judged by talent scouts"
 Movie companies haven't got around to advertising for grease paint recruits, but every major studio has talent scouts combing the country for actors in the classi- flcations outlined above.
 ACTION, NOT MORALE
 Hollywood needs actors who are almost certainly immune from the draft and are unlikely prospects for volunteer service. The studios frankly want men with types of immunity which will allow them to be publicized as actors without apologies for their not being in uniform. The time is not for off, I believe, when pictures will certify that: "All male members of this cast have satisfied their military obligations"
 Various headquarters in Wash ington have urged that important actors not subject to early draft ing remain in Hollywood and help the movies in their morale effort. But they're not remaining.
 Jimmy Stewart, David Niven Richard Greene, Robert Montgom- cry and Douglas Fairbanks were among the early departures and nobody was much surprised. But Clark Gables enlistment was some thing else again. He's Al. And Errol Flynn, who was flatly rejected be- cause of 8 bad ticker. is flying east again to try to persuade the Army he can do something use full. Cary Grant is heading for an Air Corps job as soon as he finishes "Once Upon a Honeymoon" Rudy vallee, who at Al started real career as an actor enlisted as a private.
 POWER TO NAVY
 As soon as 20th-Fox can rush him through submarine training school story titled Crash Dive Tyrone Power joins the Navy. An other actor who has ben deferred reluctantly as far as he's con- cerned - is Tim Holt. RKO got him out of the Air Corps long enough to make six huGTy-up westerns He'll be titted for a uniform by the time you read this.

 2. The quality of recorded songs is improving.
 3. There is less chance of song burning out" because of over distribution. Bad example: Blues in the Night"
