STRAND

If you are partial to mystery, suspense and excitement in film fare and who isn't?--then "Gaslight" the new Metro-G Goldwyn-M Mayer production at the Strand theater, is exactly what the doctor ordered. "Gaslight" is perfect war-time en- tertainment, and is made so by the story and everyone connected with the production of the film.
 The' photoplay relates how beautiful young singer, played by Ingrid Berman, marries her &C., companist (Charles BoyeD and moves into the London house where her aunt, famous singer in her day. was mysteriously murdered.
 The film moves rapidly and with 8 maximum of excitement as Boyer deliberately sets out to drive his wife insane for purpose which 1t would be unfair to relate here. You'll have to see for yourself the devil ish ingenuity exercised by Boyer and learn the reasons for 1t from the edge of your seat in the theater. The entrance on the scene of Joseph Gotten, as a Scotland Yard man brings the picture to gripping climax you'll long remember.
 The three stars turn in outstand- ing performances under the superb direction of George Cukor. And so

A. B. Shiffrin wrote the play and 1t was produced by Charles Stew art and Martin Goodman. In the cast are such experienced people as Willard Mitchell and Mary Sar- gent and some young people who do very well. Among these are June Wilson, Rosemary Rice, James Dobson, Joann Dolan, Bert Freed and John Conway.
 Shriffin has written about an Astoria, Long Island family that consists of father, mother and two daughters, one grown up and the other only l5. Father is a writer of child psychology articles for maga- zines, believer in modern child raising methods. The younger girl, who aspires to be an actress, sneaks out of the house one night to go with an older and more expe- rienced girl to Times Square to see what life is like in that service mems playground. They are picked up by a lively sailor, who takes them to his hotel, where he is stop- ing with his buddy. Fortunately for the younger girl, this buddy is right guy who suspects her real age, wipes off her makeup and takes her home against her screaming protests. Meanwhile word has gotten around that the girl was seen going into the hotel and there is the devil to pay, es- pecially, since the child insists after they had reached home that the sailor did her wrong. A little med- ical investigation disproves this and everything ends happily, with the good sailor becoming a suitor of the older sister.
 Some people will be offended at treating this subject with a com- edy, almost farcial touch. But the chief trouble is that the comedy is uninspired and the people and their motives are not believable. The author might have been better off had he gone completely over- board and written the play as an out-and-out farce.

The Mattatuck Musical Art So- ciety, affiliate of the Connecticut Federation of Music clubs, will launch a drive Monday, July 10, for funds to equip thirty hospital ships with musical instruments and equip- ment. Mrs. J. Winfred Beecher, state president. and chairman of the state war service commission, made this announcement last week. Mrs. Otto Armbruster and Mrs. George storm have been making the local arrangements, and banks, the city hall and downtown stores will have a representative of the local society in charge of receiving dona- tions next Monday.
 At the final meeting of the sea- son of the Mattatuck Musical Art Society announcement was made that the local organization had re- ceived the "E" merit award for work along these lines. Their contribu- ton of instruments and equipment has been the largest of any affiliate group in the state.
 Tt Is estimated that it costs $I25 to equip one ship with a quota of mus eicsl equipment, The donation of instruments by individual clubs has been large, but to sufficiently equip the hospital ships now in need of this service the Federation of Music clubs through it's affiliated clubs are launching q short drive for money fo purchase what is needed,

larly and can see how you help
others. I have been going with
woman for about six months. I've
tried on several occasions to quit,
but each time she cries and begs me
to take her back and l do it. We
are engaged but some how I don't
want to marry her. She's nice look
ing, good natured, 1 enjoy being
with her and is probably all a man
could ask for but I just can't make
up my mind to marry. She has an
other boy friend, too. Guide me
right.
Ans.-The young lady in question
may possess every charm and virtue
a man could wish for in a wife
but if you do not love her, she still
isn't the girl for you. Proof of that
is that you are unable to make up
your mind to proceed with the mar
riage. In all fairness to this girl

me it's no place for his wife to be.
He doesn't approve of me going
to dances. Would it be a crime if !
went as l love dances?
Ans.-Yes, it would in the eyes
of your husband. And If you go to
dances during his absence away
from home you would be inviting
serious trouble. He isn't taking
any part in the social life where
he is stationed and he expects you
to live moderately and to stay away
from dances until he returns. Your
husbands love and respect should
mean more to you than the few
paltry hours enjoyment you would
get on a dance floor.
L. C. M.-My sister in New York
wants me to sell out my business
down here in Florida and come up
there and live with her. Now like
down here fine and have a good
business. Would 1 be contented
if I made this change?
Ans.-NO, l am afraid that you
wouldn't. You are making a very
good margin of profit from your
business right now and it would
be dreadful mistake to give it up
completely. Save your money for
a few years and retire. Your sister
is in a better position to visit you
than you are to go and live with
her.
F. B.-I have not been with my
husband for the past seven years.
He is wanting me to sign papers
so that we can get a divorce. 1
really had much prefer to remain
separated without a divorce. Am
l right or should l sign?
Ans.-GiVe him his freedom if
you do not intend to live with him
any more. You may find someone
that you would like to marry later
on and if you don't get a divorce,
it would be impossible. You aren't
gaining anything by taking this
attitude.
D. C.-I'm very talented and am
bilious. I would like to be an act
ress or singer. Pm a lyric soprano
in the "glee club" and many have
marveled at my voice. I also act
in lots of plays here in school.
Should 1 continue my singing and
acting or concentrate on something
else?
Ans.-DevOte considerable time
to play acting and to the training
of your voice as you are very tai
ented. But you must be practical
prepare yourself also for the
business world or a career in some
field that will net you an income.
When you finish school you will
have to go to work and earn the
necessary money to pay for your
vocal lessons and courses in dra-

Galleries Measure the
Value of Different Foods

"Calories" are just a way of
measuring the energy value of foods
and the energy needs of the body.
Because a sensible diet will vary
with the individual and the amount
of energy he uses in a normal day,
homemakers should study their diets
and those of their families to pro-
vide balanced diet tailor-made to
the individual.
Let the homemakers consider
this: there are 200 calories in one
medium-sized doughnut, 300 calo-
ries in one piece of apple pie and
10 Galleries in one pecan meat. A
woman who weighs 125 to 1870 pounds
spends for each hour of actual per-
Torrance: rs calories sitting quietly
relaxed, 105 Galleries tipping rapidly,
100 calories sweeping or busting,
and only two going up a flight of
is steps.
The oaloric value of some goods
and some recipes is so high that it
would take more than an hour OF
ordinary work or light exercise to
burn up the surplus energy. There
are enough Galleries in one piece of
pie for three hours of ironing.
