State Fair" 20th Century Foxs bursting -with-joy musical which is now at the Strand Theater marks an al-time high in sheer entertain ment. In the wonderful way that studio has with musicals, it let all the stops out to make this one a never-to-be forgotten treat for the eye, ear-and heart
 First, they commissioned no less a team them Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who sent Broadway into unprecedented hoop las, to fill State Fair" with glori- ous music such as has never been heard in a film before. Then they put four of the screens most bril- liant young stars-Dana Andrews, Jeanne Grain, Dick Haynes and Vivian Blaine into top roles and packet them with a swell support ing cast including Charles Win ninger, Fay Bainter, Donald Meek, Frank McHugh, Percy Kilbride, and Henry Morgan. And finally they uIppeU lile WIlOlG IdNIGl pIOQuEllOIl into gorgeous Technicolor that's a joy to behold
 As the millions who have read Philip Stcng's beloved novel must know, State Fair" tells of the rich ly human radiantly joyous adven- lures of a midwest family dur ing one hectic and enchanted week at the fair-a week on which they had pinned their fondest dreams of glory and romance. How they each realized their goal makes for grand, heart warming story packed with robust humor and thrilling romance throughout.
 You'll be hearing the Rodgers Hammerstein State Fair songs on every hit parade for 6 long time to come. Tt Might as Well Be Spring" That's For Me Its a Grand Night for Singing" and All Owe Iowa are extra scintillating and singable.
 State Fair" is the kind of pie ture that will send you out of the theater with a smile on your lips and song in your heart.

JIMMIE FIDLER h HoHyOood
by MeNsuxSt syndicate. Inc.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6-When Alan Ladd walked out at Paramount because of a salary dispute, pre- dicted that his rebellion would be initiated by other stars. and the prophecy is now being fulfilled. At least a score of big name players are feuding with studio bosses for bigger paychecks. As usual. there are two sides to the argument.
 On the one hand, most of the dissatisfied players are topfiight at the boX-otfice but, being compara- tive newcomers working under deals which give them periodic pay boosts, their salaries are not commensurate with their popularity. Let me cite couple of eXamples-June Allyson and Van Johnson, both of whom, by the way, seem perfectly content with their present deals Audience polls give them far higher box of fee ratings than many long -eStab- lished stars who earn as much as $l50 000 a picture. or S300,00 a year. Yet I doubt that either Johnson or Miss Allyson earns more than $40, = GOO year. You couldn't blame them for contendiag they should be bet ter paid.
 On the other hand, these youngs- ters who have skyrocketed to the heights overnight, owe their studios heavy debts. They were melodies when they were given their oppor- tunities. The studies gambled on them, invested in them, worked with them. Consequently the studios de- serve big profits if they click. Fur thelmore. the players were eager to sign their present contracts and, having accepted the studios terms in good faith and with much to gain, they should be willing to abide by their deals.
 It seems to me that the just solu- tion lies, as usual, in middle course. Contracts should be ampli- fled by a clause which would hasten pay raises in the event players box office standing justif1es it.

Greco Hits The Rood' Steadily For Joniro Go

New York, Nov. GOT all the boxers in action today none believes more firmly in the value of road work than Johnny Greco, Montreal welterweight. Day after day come rain, hail, snow, or hurricane, Greco never fails to get out on the road when preparing for a fight
 At the moment Greco is training for his third meeting with Tony Janiro, of Youngstown, Ohio. They come together at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Greco won the first bout, Janiro the second. Greco is confident that all the road work he has put in while getting ready for this rubber match will give him the speed and stamina he needs to win.
 Up at Stillman's gymnasium yes terday, some fight managers were discussing Grecos emphasis on road work and that reminded Jimmy Johnston of fighter ko once man. aged, named Johnny Summers.
 Summers was good fighter but lazy. One thing he did not like was road work. He would start out early in the morning, run a couple hun dred yards, then sit down under a tree for an hour. One day Johnston learned that Summera was deathly afraid of dogs. So he went right out and hNl1Qht Q UioiOIic -1oolyipo ,,,,,tt Every morning thereafter Johnston would hide behind a fence with the dog. The moment Summers sat down Johnston would send the dog after him. The system worked.
 Ghosts" For Joe
 Another manager recalled the time Joe Waleott was getting ready for his bout with George Layigne way back in 95. Joe wasn't too fond of roadWork either. Tom ORourke, his manager, would drape men in white sheets and hide them behind trees along the road where Walcott ran. As Joe passed the men would jump out from behind the trees and frighten him. Invariably Walcott would get home before O'Rourke with his horse and buggy.
 Then there was Max Baer who would run about half mile, take a nap, then return to camp dripping with precipitation. The precipitation was a cup of water with which he would abuse himself just before reaching camp.

BLACK HOWLER MONKEY.
(MuceteS cnrnnn

The black howler monkey is
native of Brazil. The adult males
have p fur of uniform black color
with a few red hairs on the loins
and f1anks. The females and young
males are dirty white.
Howlers received their names
from their vociferous screams. Their
bowling distinguishes them from all
the other American monkeys Ma
ture has made special provision for
the howler's noise. A hollow shell
Of bone joins the upper part of the
windpipe The effect of the voice
within the cavity gives to it the
strange intensity which, once heard,
is never forgotten.
The howler has a prehensile tail.
the under surface of which, being
naked, gives it greater grasping
power. The animal has well-de-
veloped thumbs; its face is naked.
with a projecting muzZle. This
monkey wears long bangs. side
whiskers and beard. The large eyes
are round and very intelligent in
expression-at times, amused.
In Brazil, where the howlers are
abundant, the natives have long
since given up hope of tanning them.
They simply cannot survive captiv-
ity.
These monkeys live on leaves
which they harvest in the forests.
1t is said that, at dawn, when the
leader of the clan sounds the alarm,
"a chanter joins in, then the entire
group sings the morning praise.
According to the Indians. it is some
noise. There is no music in the
roar of these monkeys: by many,
it is thought the howler uses 1t for
the purpose of frightening enemies.
There are many reports that the
hoWler is devoted to his mate or
mates, who permit him to lead the
way through the treetops, the young
sitting nonchalantly on their moth
ier,s shoulders. The perfect uni
formity of the march is remarkable.
The yellow-handed bowler and
the ed-and-yellow howler are also
natives of Brazil Their habits and
howls are similar.
