Miss Cradle as the star of "Coney
Island" works harder than almost
anv one ever worked before in the
history of the motion picture She
is in front of the camera virtually
the entire length of the picture.
When she is not singing something
out of the pioneer days of New
York's Glen Echo, she is involved in
story which is as simple as it is
boring. 1t has to do with couple
of men who are in love with her
Montgomery and Romero-for no
reason that is apparent to anything
other than the naked eye. Or, per-
hapS, the ear figures in it, too, since
Miss Cradle does have a way with
such old-time songs as "Cuddle Up
Little Closer" "Darktown Strut
ters' BALI and such a convention
ally new one as Take 1t From
There"
"Coney Island" is completely un-
glamorous save for its cast and a
final production number, which
must be at least the best of its kind
since the cinema became limited on
the cost of sets. In that one, Miss
Cradle dances-as a Willie Hammer
stein star-before a variety of sets
which embodies bits of Manhattan,
the old South and what seems to
be an Oriental temple.
The acting of "Coney Island" is
in the best tradition of vaudeville
which was not very good tradition
of acting. Miss Cradle as a girl who
comes out of an amusement park
to a Hammerstein show is strident
at all times save those when she Is
singing and even Montgomery and
Romero, who should know better
follow her example. 1t may be
justified on the basis that vaude-
Williams acted that way. If not
there is no other Justification.
On the whole. it is about as un-
subtle as current political joke,
but destined to be equally as popu-
lar, That's popular.
The formula, you know.

favorable, and the studio logically
said what the blank?
Ever since then it has gone ahead
with the recipe and the chances are
that "Coney Island" which opened
today at the Palace will encourage
it to continue. Betty Cradle, not
Alice Faye, is the star of this one
and Miss Cradle has way-the
way of a pin-up girl-of surmount-
ing the inanity of its story which
has nothing to do with any other
quality of the picture. Let the
critic give 1t one star and the pub
lie will raise him three, but the
fact remains that this critic gives
it one star. Whatever of beguil-
ing righteousness it manifeStS at
the box office, whatever of nostalgia
charm it possesses, whatever of basic
appeal Miss Cradle and the picture
possess, it still is banal thing
and it probably will run on forever.

Cesar Romero-not to mention
dozens of others-none of whom
betrays by the flicker of an eye

"Coney Island" is precisely like a
dozen other pictures.
"Coney Island" is the story of
some people who were engaged in

was everything. They sang, they

According to WPB officials, halt

day goes to the armed forces. The
demands by the military are now
falling off so that hotels, hospitals
and institutions soon can obtain
much needed requirements. Then
it'll be another six months yet be-
fore civilian requirements can be
met.
Next to chinaware, there's a
great demand for glasses, especially
since paper cups are becoming
scarce on the market. Manufacture

tumblers, in an effort to further
conserve critical glass.

lions OF language are closely tied
with manual skill, and the under
standing of symbols, and these
appear to have reached their
present degree Of perfection be-
cause of the dominance of one
side of the brain over the other.
TYPES OF Treatment
Our understanding of suffering
began with the theory that the
function of the muscles of chest,
throat, tongue and lips was dis
turbed. The presence of spasm in
volving some of these muscles, at
least, was obvious.
This theory led to several types
of treatment. Breathing exercises
were performed, drills were given
in articulation, and further train
ing was directed toward teach
ing the sufferer to master the
movements required in making the
sounds which he found difficult.
Difficult consonants were avoided
entirely.
The approach to treatment from
the point of view of faulty me-
chanics of speech is the most usual
method of all, and has helped
| more sufferers than any other
single method. But it is debata
BILE whether the training or the
associated psychological help is
more responsible for the improve
ment
Later, another school of thought
developed and its adherents
thought that stammering was due
not primarily to faulty mechan-
les, but to their control by the
mind, which is inseparable from
the body. Ultimately, this view
led to the consideration of slut
tering as perso lily defect,
which with great simplification
may be described as maladjust-
ment to environment, or abnormal
emotional states such as fear or
lack of confidence.
The suffering was considered
a symptom which would disap-
pear when the emotional disurb-
ance was relieved. Treatment
based on this concept was direct
ed toward psychological re-edu-
cation and eliminate the fear of
talking.
HEREDITARY TENDENCY
Another theory considers stutter-
ing as due to hereditary structural
defect of that part of the brain
that controls language. A familiar

Ranks Milk
First In Five
Primary Foods

Chicago, July 12-(UP)-Dr. Vic
tor G. Heiser, former director of
health in the Philippine Islands, re-
ports that the five foods necessary
to maintain the nations health "at
fairly high level are milk, eggs
or meat, fresh vegetables, fresh
fruits, and enriched bread or
cereal.
IF eaten in proper amounts,
these five fortifying fundamental
foods normally provide enough of
the protective substances to supply
the human body's various needs
and help to maintain vigorous good
health" said Heiser, medical con-
sultant to the National Association
of Manufacturers.
OF these five foods the most i'm
portant is milk, he said.
There is but one substance
whose sole function in nature is to
serve food, and that is milk" he
said. although for all I know,
because of the miracles of our indus

ent in making diapers"

London.-The Women's Auxiliary
Territorial Service private hadn't
been very neat girl in civilian life.
And apparently the training given
her since she donned His Majesty'S
uniform hadn't "taken" very well.
She was strolling through Piccadilly
with her cap Slightly awry, her
tunic partly unbuttoned and her
shoes unshined. She didn't stroll
for long.
Two other ATS, wearing the
same uniform as hers, but with
red-topped caps, the word pro
vost' in red on either shoulder and
M. P. brassards, spotted her. They
glanced at each other significantly,
planted themselves In her path.
She stopped and there was short
colloquy. The not-so-snappy ATS
looked abashed, Strengthened her
posture, shifted her cap to the reg
ulation angle, buttoned her Jacket.
The two "Redcaps" looked her over,
nodded and strolled away.
