At last the world story of "Kismet" has Achieved its full est glory. The famous Edward Knoblock play has been brought to the screen in glorious Technicolor and with an outstanding cast by Metro Goldwyn- Mayer and is now playing at the Loew Poli theater.
 Ronald Colman, plays Hafiz, ma- gician, beggar and rascal, and glam- orous Marlene Dietrich, gorgeously costumed, is perfect choice as Jamila, queen of the dancing girls.
 The superb cast of "Kismet" in- cludes James Craig, Edward Arnold, funnyman Hugh Herbert, veteran character actors Florence Bates, Harry Davenport and Hobart Cav- anaugh-and newcomer, Joy Ann Page, who certainly is headed for stardom in her own right.
 "Kismet" is the story of the beg gar magician who dreamed of a royal marriage for his lovely daugh- ter. He does not know that she and Caliph himself have met and are in love, thinking him only the gard ener. But Kismet (Fate) gets to work and the beggar in order to gain the queen of the dancing girls for himself, makes a deal with the Grand Vizier which leads to the films most exciting climax, a situ- ation you will have to learn about for yourself at the Poli theater.
 Of course on this program of hits there will be the latest news of the day and Selected Short Subjects.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.-High school stdentS must love to take exams, for, to paraphrase Abe Lin coin, they take so many of them.
 Today the vanguard of several thousand such students are sitting at their desks in almost every cor ner of the United States taking tough, three hour science aptitude test. The difference between this examination and the usual year-end scholastic test is that this one which must be completed before Dec. 27 to make students eligible for $l1 900 in Westinghouse Science ScholarshipS-is 8 voluntary exam which may be taken by any high school senior in the United States.
 Scientists Of Tomorrow
 Many of these scientifically tal- ented students are what Watson Davis, director of the Science Clubs of America which administrates the Science Talent Search, calls ''scien- tists of tomorrow. in the school rooms of today"
 He pointed out to teachers who will administer the examination that you have in your classes boys and girls who will in coming years play important roles in applying science and technology to our civ ilization in war and in peace," and added: we want to help you dis cover your talented students and develop their aptitudes in an in- creasingly scientific world"
 The judges in the fourth nation wide Science Talent Search, now under way, will name as finalists 70 of the high school seniors, taking the examination In their public, pri- vate and denominational schools this month. FinaliSts will be choS- en because of their ability to think in a thorough and orderly manner, and because their avocation is science, and their other interests are well rounded.
 As evidence of this latter charac- teristic Mir. Davis pointed out that "entrants in the first Science Talent Search. conducted in l942, listed themselves as being able to speak, read, and understand 22 different languages. including classical Greek. Russian, Chinese and African dia. Iects"
