comes to a close at the Strand to- morrow evening, so make your plans now to attend one of the perform ances to be given between now and then.
 A sensational new combination reaches the screen In the teaming of Ann Corio, the famous burlesque queen, and Buster Crabbe, the Olympic swimming champion and popular western star. They are to be seen together in a thrilling story of adventure in the African wilds, Jungle Siren," which stars its first run, first Waterbury showing on Saturday at the Strand
 To say that Miss Corio is alluring in her new-style sarong is to put it mildly. She calls it "nurong," and claims that it is half the weight of the usual sarong worn by other un- der-dressed screen stars in these outdoors romances.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Baby Face Morgan" with Richard Cromwell and Mary Carlisle.
 Don't forget tomorrow night is amateur night at the Strand. This amateur contest is open to young and old alike, so if you would like to enter one of these contests to compete for the big cast awards,

 If you've been cherishing the idea that to express emotion it's necessary to grimace, i1uttsr your eyes, wrap your forehead up into knots, snarl through your teeth, or decorate your face in 57 varieties of expression, perish the thought inc nrediately.
 It isn't always done that way.
 Everything was happening, from murder. to high comedy, and not a glamorous face was in focus in front of the cameras at Universal studio.
 First there was Edward c. RObin- son, who has face that is duck soup for the projection of murder ous deside. According to the script of "F.esh and Fantasy" l" Robinson is murder bent.
 But Director Julien Duvivier has his own ideas. He has cam merman Stanley Cortez train the lens on Robinson's hands, The Robinson hands spatulate and strong looking, writhe, twist, in- terlock and drurnn on table top. 'What 8 pair of hamsl" says the star, looking at his hands. FANTASTIC FINGERS
 Over on the Arabian Nights" set, Maria Montez, a sultry num- Der from South America, also is expressing emotion with her hands. Maria, with her back to the camera, mind you, is Wriggling her fingers and waving her hands to, the ear-rasping music of Ara bian pipes and stringed instru- ments. The camera points di- rectly to those fingers.
 It's Maria's job to pour enough desire into the wriggling of her fingers to make the hated Kamar- al-Shaman (Leif Erickson) want to cool himself with a poisoned drink.
 Over on the Deanna Durbin set of Forever Yours," producer director Bruce Manning has his camera trained on-not those sparkling Durbin eyes and flower ing figure-but on her bare feetl The sound stage reverherates to the screech of bursting bombs. Miss Durbin's toes spread and grip the floor and grow white. Deanna is expressing fear with her fect, to the off-stage dialog of threatening Jap voice. Her toes curl under the sole of her foot gradually as the Nip's voice harsh ly misses. Her toes really look frightened.
 CHESTY ACTOR
 But the topper of the day hap pens on a set on which Direc- tor Arthur Lubin is making gov- ernment-suggested short with a long list of Universal stars.
 But do you think he has his cameras trained on their lush fg- ures and handsome faces? Not today. He's doing closeup of Robert Cummings chest. The chest is acting.
 The featurette, Keeping Fit, shows the value of eating the proper foods to maintain steady schedule of work, especially in war industries.
 Cummings 'chews on nutritious foods specially prepared for the demonstration. He swallows for

STATE

Laughs galore are in the offing for theatergoers attending the War ner's State Theater where My Sis- ter Eileen" film version of the hilarious stage success, is currently showing as the headliner of the program.
 Based upon the uproarious Brod- way comedy of two Columbus, Ohio, sisters battling for their careers and their honor in the jungles of Man. hattan's Greenwich Village, the new comedy presents Rosalind Rus sell, Brian Aherne and Janet Blair in co-starring roles.
 According to reports the film ver- sion is said to be twice as lustrous as the stage success, and twenty times as hilarious, no mean record for a motion picture whose theatri- cal predecessor has convulsed more that three million theater r-goers in more than two solid years.
 Briefly this concerns the doings of Ruth and Eileen Sherwood who come to New York for fame and fortune; Ruth wants to be an au- thor, the eye-filling Eileen dreams of stage career. They wind up in a basement apartment, whose big curtainless window at pavement level lets in the noise, the rowdies, the dogs and the cats and all the other gusty excitement of the Wil- lage. A lockless door lets everybody else, including a "clairvoyant" who formerly did business at that ad- dress, a professional football play CT fleeing from his mother-in-law, a drug store manager who buys Ei- leen her lunch, magazine editor who buys Ruth's stories, Cossack night club doorman, and sundry other characters, as well as six members of the Portuguese mer- chant marine who follow Ruth home one night, are bowled over by Ei- leen who decides to lead them to the street, by way of the conga, and it is Eileen who winds up in jail.
 The picture is truly a riot from start to finish and is even more de- lightful and refreshing than its the atrical predecessors. It is one mo- ton picture with which all future film comedies will be compared, to put it right at the top of your must list and be sure to see it at the State and at regular State prices.

The gentlemen were Larry Adler, the harmonica virtuoso, and Paul Draper, the tap dance star. Last season someone had the idea of presenting their dissimilar arts in single recital and it did so well they decided upon an annual tour.
 Adler was clutching tightly a small package and this, it developed, con- tained three harmonicas.
 Spares Kept in Vault
 My spare harmonicas," he said. "are in a vault in the Chase Na- tional Bank. They will be sent me three at time. With no more har- monicas available for the duration they come from the Black Forest region of Germany, you know-1 don't care to risk carrying more than three at one time"
 Draper, who has incorporated ballet technique into the tap dance, added:
 wv have to be our own carpen- ters and electricians. I require a special floor for dancing. Train schedules being uncertain we are taking along only what we can carry, In each of the 40 or so cities there will be floor of piywood or beaverwood waiting. We'll have to nail the floor together ourselves, since it comes in sections"
 Sets Up Sound System
 "Yes," broke in Adler, land I have my own sound system which I probably will have to set up in many places. Special men for this sort of thing aren't always avail- able.

cagua, and Is more than four and
one-third miles high. The upper
most part of this peak is across the
borderline in Argentina.
A peak almost as high is on the
Chile side of the border. 1t is called
Tupungato and the top is more than
four and d-one-ffth miles above sea
level. 1t is 1000 feet taller than
Mount Mckinley, the highest peak
in North America.
Along with all the rest of the
Latin American republics, except
Brazil, Chile has Spanish as its
language. Here and there you may
find groups of Indians or foreign
immigrants who do not speak Span
ish, but it Is the common language
of Chile.
Brazil was at one time a colony
OF Portugal. That is why Portu-
guese is spoken by most Brazilians.
Some travellers speak of the central
section of Chile as wonderland of
Natures gifts. 1t does, indeed, have
splendid climate. 1t includes a
great valley where there is "ever-
lasting spring." with enough rain to
grow excellent crops.
The northern part of Chile might
look like huge waste, good for
nothing, to a visitor. Yet it con-
tains large beds of nitrate of soda
and has been extremely important
in adding to the wealth of the coun-
try.
Nitrate is stored in kind of ore
known as "caliche." Some of the
beds lie several feet below the sur
face, buried under layers of clay and
gravel.
Men go out and make test-holes
when they are looking for new beds
of nitrate of soda They place
blasting charges inside the holes
After blast, fine store of the nj
trate may be laid bare.
When the caliche Is taken out, il
is hauled to a plant which takes
care of it. The Jumps are crushed
and water is used to separate the nj.
trate from the rest of the ore.
In the part of Chile where nj
trate is stored, there is little rain
fall. This is good thing, since q
heavy rain might hurt nitrate bed
The government of Chile has OBJ
tanned a great deal of tax money
from the nitrate industry. Known
as Chile saltpeter," the nitrate is
exported to foreign countries, but il
is taxed before it leaves the borders
of Chile. The tax money has been
used, to large extent, for public
schools.

Canoe Won't Sink;
Hang on If 1t Tips
Over in Midstream

Contrary to public opinion, canoe
is absolutely safe because it cannot
sink unless hole is punched in it.
Even if it upsets and fills with water.
it will still float and sustain three
people. Remember this one fact and
you will be safe. Drownings occur
because people leave the canoe and
try to get to shore alone.
But you need not upset If you
know and obey certain easy. funda-
mental rules. First, never take more
than three people in any canoe un-
less they are all experts in handling
it. Even then it is risky business,
for it overloads the boat.
Second, for safety's sake, sit or
kneel on the bottom of the canoe.
Take out those fancy seats so many
resort canoes have. Use cushion
for comfort, but sit low always.
Your canoe will never upset if you
remember this rule.
Third, never stand up in canoe
or change seats out on the water.
This is the most general cause Of
upsets, for it takes the weight out
of the bottom of the canoe and so
overbalances it.
Fourth, if an accident does upset
you, hold onto the canoe and call
for help. Remember, a canoe never
sinks. You're absolutely safe as long
as you hang on to it. Don't get
panicky and start swimming away
from 1t. If you must try to get to
shore, keep hold Of the canoe and
swim in 1t may be slower, but you'll
get there.
