At Fox

IT'S A long, long road from the
"Bowery to Broadway" as we all
know, but we wouldn't prescribe
the route that the Fox picture
takes TO make the trip.
According to this involved and
quite confused collection OF cellu-
loid. you just can't get there from
here. Even by llama pack.
Actually, in an attempt TO use
everybody on the Universal lot.
they've really made two or three
pictures instead of just one.
BECOME PARTNERS
The story starts with two rival
cafe owners in New York's old
East Side. who fight and feud,
hut always remain great friends.
They discover a young girl, SuS-
anna Foster. who doesn't want to
sing. but who takes one look at
Turhan Bey. the orchestra leader.
and changes her mind By this
time. the boys, Jack Oakie and
Donald Cook. have moved up 10
Fourteenth st. theaters. Susanna
sings and becomes a sensation.
but something happens TO her
romance with Bey and she has a
bad fall on the stage, an accident
which eliminates her from the
rest of the picture. This is one
way of getting rid of characters
in a movie, although we think the
script writer's could be a little
kinder.
Now Oakie and Cook have got
ten over their feud. kissed, made
I up AID become partners. So VIC
start another story. eve didn't
particularly like that last one any
way. 1t must have been writer

LOVELY LIVE WIRE

1T WAS practically a full per-
Torrance of "Traviata." VIII c n
charming soprano, Bidu Sayac
and tenor Martini, gave for their
joint recital in Masonic Auditor
ium.
Since Martini replaced Richard
Crooks. who is seriously i'll, there
naturally had 10 be program
changes and evidently they both
decided that their mutual tastes
lay in the score of "Traviata.
/ For they sang together both
the duets, I'm Di Felice" and
"Brindisi" from the first act and
also the "Parigi o Cara" from the
last act, while Miss Sayao sang
the "Ah, fors lui" and "Sempre
Liberia" for two of her solos.
But even if it was a heavy dose
of Verdi for one evenings concert.
il was a delightful one and both
voices blended effectively in the
duets.
Mr.. Martini took the first solo
group of the evening, singing two
Italian songs, an aria from an
early French Suzanne" which
was really a haunting love song,
the sweeping Rachmaninoff song,
The Floods of Spring" and en-
cored with beautiful rendition

Sayao has practically made her

does she sing II.
LOVELY ENDING
She also introduced a new Vic

Tea Kettle" which is a very i'm
aginative ballad. Her encores in
cluded a Brazilian song and a
lovely treatment Of Gershwin's

Exquisite is the word for Miss
Sayao. In appearance, in charm
and in the artistry with which
she displays her vocal talents,

sNEEZING DUMMY

Winchell also gets his dummy TO
sneeze, sing and do everything
but vote. It's a really very funny
act.
Kaye presents his Kayedets
who sing "Umbriago" for an
opener, neat tenor in Arthur
Wright, who sings Together" and
Always" and a tall Texas bari
tone, Billy Williams, who has an
adequate baritone voice, although
he stays on too long.
Fast and furious are the Three
Welles, who perform some ter
rifle acrobatics in rhythm.

Eleanor Powell plays press

of the highlights Of the film.

Leinbach Urges Banks
To Do Their Part In
!4th Loan Campaign

Clarence T. Leinbach, chairman
of the North Carolina War Finance
committee and chairman of the
Fourth War Loan Drive beginning
January 10, writing as guest editor
in the January issue of the Tarheel
Banker on ''The Role of the Banks
in the Fourth War Loan Drive"
urged bankers to remember that
the most important job that a
banker can do in the war loan
drive is to reach every individual
buyer in his territory for maxi
mum sales.
The Treasury Department"
said Mr.. Leinbach has announced
quota for North Carolina of
S126, 100000, of which $40, 900, 600 is
to come from individual buyers.
This quota, to individuals, is ap-
proixmately the same amount as
that assigned to individuals in the
September drive, and the state
reached it's quota
The need for successful drive is
indicated in Mr.. Leinbach's refer
ence to the cost of the war. The
war is costing the United States
approximately $3.50, 100000 each
month and approximately one third
of this amount is being raised by
taxes" Thus, pointing out clearly
that 1.-The remaining two-third of
this seven and one half billions
must come from the sale of war
bonds.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE

"Life'' was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies on
Sunday. January 16.
The Golden Text was from l
John Sill. This is the record that
God hath given to us external life.
and this life is in his SON.
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible:
"For thus saith the Lord unto the
house of Israel, Seek yc me, and
We shall live: Seek good, and not
evil. that ye may live: and so the
Lord God of hosts. shall be with
y.u, as ye have spoken (Amos
5: a. IA.
The Lesson-Sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy: THE belief that matter has
life results, by the universal law
of mortal mind, in belief in
death. The spiritual fact and the
material belief of things are con-
tradictions; but the spiritual is
true. and therefore the material
must be untrue. The understand
ing that Life is God, Spirit, leng-
thens our days by strengthening
our trust in the deathless reality
of Life, it's almightiness and i'm
