STRAND

Drama, romance, thrills, and the gorgeous music of Victor Herbert's greatest operetta blend with comedy and charm in Naughty Marietta" !" which Metro Goldwyn-Mayer has made available for return en- gagement at the Strand theatre.
 The picture that introduced Jea- nette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy to the screen literally made screen history. Bringing to life the roman tic old Creole days of New Orleans, and the love of a disguised French princess, seeking escape from marriage of state, it is based on the stage success in which Emma Trentini and Orville Harold first starred. The dramatic side of the thrills, adventure and perils of the period form a laundering back ground for the glamorous music.

Don gloves and dip hands in mild, lukewarm Suds. Squeeze and press them while immersed in the water, but do not rub or brush them vig- orously. Exceptions to this hand-in- glove rule should be made in the case of chamois or doeskin, which should be washed off the hands be- cause they soften when wet and may stretch or tear.
 When gloves are clean, peel them off gently from the wrist. By filling the gloves with water while they are still on the hands, you will be able to remove them easily. Then rinse in lukewarm water until no sign of soap remains.
 Glove experts advise final rinse in light soapy water for chamois, doeskin and pikskin. Or, if you pre- fer, they suggest a little glycerin in the last rince to soften and restore gloss to pigSkins.
 To straighten fingers, run water from the faucet into the gloves. Roll gloves in bath towel to obsorb extra moisture. Never wiring gloves or dry them over a radiator. Just before they are completely dry, rub gently to work out stiffness.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's aCrd Authority

The Open Pair Championship in the recent Eastern States Tour nament was won by Jerry Fried lander and Ned Drucker, During the final session, one of the great est hands I have ever seen came up. It seems to be ideally suited to Sylvia, the girl who does the wrong thing that somehow always turns out right.
 The ordinary play is for the de- clarer to play low on the opening spade lead, West to win with the king and now to return club. The declarer wins this, cashes three spades and the ace of clubs and East is hopelessly squeezed.
 Is there defense to defeat the contract? Well try this. Suppose we had Sylvia in the West? Sylvia would play low on the first spade.
 Now the declarer would lead the ace of spades and then lead the third spade. Again, Sylvia would play low. Now the declarer cannot lead the fourth spade; otherwise, Sylvia will cash two spade tricks and without the fourth spade lead, East is not squeezed. If you want

 Barry Fitzgerald, recent Academy Award winner for his excellent act- ing in Going My Way, Is a part time golfer. Part of the time he's swinging, parto the time he's re- pairing the damage resulting from not following through.
 Fitzgerald's Oscar was a long, coveted award. Nothing much to speak of-a gilded statue made of plaster of Paris. But ot him and other actors and actresses it rep- resents long, hard efforts.
 Two days after the award he lost it by the simple expedeint of swinging a golf club indoors, con- meeting squarely with the statue instead of the ball. Oh. well, may be another one next year.
 USO SHOW GOES ON
 Recently a USO party of actors and actresses in India had, among other things, quite a Sizeable van of livestock. The livestock con- sisted of rooster, several rabbits and a small white rat.
 A special cage had been con- structed by the manager of the troupe, permitting his show" to roam at will in the front yard of "basha".

 Errol Flynn and Nora Eddington continue to give their friends plenty of speculation. "Is you is, or is you aint?" might be a well-worn greet ing to the two. However, neither of them confirm or deny marriage. which is something that always gives Hollywood material for con- versation. Despite rumors of sep aration and divorce, if they're mar ried, of course, the couple has been seen doing the rounds of various night clubs, fo.olwing Nora's return iron Mexico.

 EMBARRASSING
 Seeing an epileptic seizure for the first time is a frightening ex- perience, but not an occasion for panic. If there is someone else to assume responsibility for caring for the patient the kindest thing you can do is to go about your business and ignore the incident, and to urge others to do likewise. It is extremely embarrassing to the patient when he becomes con- SctouS to find himself surrounded by curious crowd.
 The first symptom of an epi- leptic seizure to the observer is aa sharp cry, or moan, just as the patient falls unconscious. T he face becomes livid, the eyes roll up and the body twitcheS or jerks violently. Sometimes froth appears at the mouth and the patient grinds his teeth or bites his tongue and lips. For this reason something should be inserted between his teeth Do not use metal which might break the teeth, or a pencil or any object that might be broken easily.
 The attack lasts only few minutes and subsidies gradually. The patient may feel sick and droWEy for some time after he regains consciousness. If possible he should be placed where he can 60 to sleep.
