HORROR PICTURES
. o BOB HOPE

I went to see one of those d0u- ble-feature horror pictures the other night at my neighborhoDd theater and I was never SO fright ened in all my lifel The usher almost caught me sneaking in.
 It was a very exciting picture and when the monster broke loose and crept up behind the helpless heroine, I gave out with blood curdling screaml It was silly, I know, but 1t was so realistic I could actually feel something creeping up on me, also .. Then realized it was only my long winter underwent But I wasn't the only one in the audience to scream Tn fact, the girl sit- ing next to me didn't stop scream ing until she had the usher throw me out.
 The highlight of the picture was when the mad scientist was in his laboratory working all his gadgets in an effort to put the breath of life into 8 clutching claw machine. He turns knobs, pulls levers, then sparks fly, wires hum, bubbles pop And then suddenly there is an explosion. He has made a pound of butter!
 The producers know when they've got something good and they always manage to kill off their monsters in such way as to insure their possible return for sequel. So far, Draclila has had more stakes driven into him than a piece of California Real Estate.

STRAND

Fanny Brice's return to Metro Goldwyn-Maye after an absence of six years. brought back memo ries of her stardom days with Florenz Ziegfeld. The first person she met was Hope Harding Davis, daughter of the famous war cor- respondent, and Bessie Mccoy, be- loved ziegfeld star.
 She hadn't seen Miss Davis since the latter visited the "ziegfeld Follies" backstage when she was a tiny girl and her mother and Miss Brice were stars in the great show mans glorified musicals.
 The meeting turned into a busi- ness session when the star, who brings her Baby Snooks" to the screen for M-G-M's "Ziegfeld Fol lies of 1946," the new technicolor musical at the Strand Theater, recounted anedotes on Miss Me- Coy's which were incorporated into the screen play. According to Miss Brice, Miss MeCoy's costumes had

or try to be clinging vine.
 She is advised to keep out of deep, chusiony chairs, too-hecause it's impossible for her to get out of one gracefully.
 And she is told she should give extra time to good grooming-and special attention to cultivating a pleasing voice.
 Now those are things any over- weight woman could do to make herself more attractive. And living up to those wouldn't be the strain on her good nature that constantly trying to reduce would be. FORMULA FOR PEACE
 Such advice ought to make plump women 8 little less apologetic about themselves. For it assumes they aren't being traitors to themselves and their families by not waging depressing battle against weight.
 If overweight women will just take that advice and try to be as attrac- tive as they can despite their weight -instead of saying guilty T really shouldn't every time they eat the kind of food they love-they will be able to live peaceably with them selves.
 The next thing is for someone to persuade niddle-aged women that there is nothing disgraceful about their years, so they can quit striv- ing to be young. That done-arl- other group of women can relax and enjoy life.
 It is high time we quit trying to pour women into a youthful mold by making them feel guilty if the years bring wrinkles or extra pounds.

Children s Shoes Need Careful Fit
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Rules for fitting growing child's feet-good for his mummy to paste in her hat if there's any doubt when buying his shoes-come from Dr. Joseph Lelyveld. This chairman of the National Foot Health Council says:
 1. With each foot bearing weight, have each foot measured for length and width, using as the standard the big toe, strengthened out to full length.
 2. Pick the size that fits the lar- ger foot. The correct size will pro- vide a margin of from one-half to three-quarters of an inch between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
 3. See that the widest part of the foot fits into the widest part of the Shoe--that's called the ball. at both little-and large-toe joints.
 4. Before you call 1t a fit, have your child walk around the store on tip toes.
 5. The next time you buy shoes, have your child's foot remeasured. Growing feet rapidly grow out of old measurements.

could find a doctor that doesn't start that tonsil stun the first thing c. D. S)
 Before the war I had compiled e fairly useful list of doctors here and there who were skilled in this or that method which I recom- mend, and so I was able to advise some correspondents where they could find such doctors.
 The war brought such changes that my list became useless, and there is no immediate prospect that I can resume that service, much as l would like to, for I know how grateful I would be to find doctor who could cure me of hernia by office injections, if I were cons fronted with the question of sub- mitting to radical operation.
 You are right, Ma'am, about the propensity of too many doctors to say the tonsils should be removed just because the child has enlarged tonsils at the moment.
 For that matter, I question the JuStAAAC1tAOA 4OI a4Au Ck1c pab1OlOBy of this routine condemnation of children's tonsils.
 It is normal and perhaps ad- vantageous for a child to have large tonsilS. Enlargement of tonsils and pharyngeal tor1sil (adenoid body) in children IS actually a part of the child's natural immunity reaction to cri (kree)-comuion respiratory infections. If all growing children could enjoy the daily exposure of skin to light that children do en- joy if they get fair break, the vitamin D they would manufacture under the activation by ultraviolet in daylight, would prevent much tonsil and adenoid enlargement.

slipped. BEST PERFORMANCE: Laurence Olivier in Henry "" Good enough to rate a crown.
 There's at least one chuOIEIe in the recent legal battle between actress Kay Williams and her ex-husband, Martin de Alzaga Unzue, Miss Wil- Hams, testifying anent her life with the ultra-wealthy Argentine, stated that he was extremely tempera- mental-that he was in the habit of venting his rage by beating his head against the wall and biting her on the leg. I can understand how living with a man like that might get to be nerve strain, but certainly no one can accuse "Ma- coco" as Unzue is known to the night club set, of undue partiality. He was every bit as rough on him. self as he was on the little woman.
 When Dorothy LamOur complain ed to Baltimore police that her car had been burglarized in that city, she listed, among other valuables taken, 26 pairs of stockings. When Lana Turner took of on her recent South American tour, an enterpris- ing reporter dug up the information that she carried 12 dozen pairs of nylons in her luggage. If news re- leases like these persist, the Amer ican women who are still "doing without" are apt to put 26 and IA together-and get sofae very irate ideas.
 TypicaIly Hollywood" was the method by which the period of "Ramrod," the new western colossal, was determined. it's heroine, Ver- mica Lake, and Edith Head, the designer hired to create her ward robe, surveyed the styles of the 1980s and pronounced them "un- attractive" Next they appraised the fashions of the 1660's and ruled them impossible" But the duds worn by ladies in the 187O's they judged adorable" So 'Ramrod" will be laid in the 1S70's. To mere man the whole affair seems just a bit ridiculous. Girls who lived on early -day western ranches didn't have exclusive designers, anyway.
 
 Hollywood Puhlicists have con- ceI1trated their exploitation efforts of the late on pictures rather than stars. The essential folly of that plan is well illustrated by the cur- rent Crosby Hope film, Road to Utopia" Though not their best, it's still doing record business. Why2 Simply because Bing and Bob, without much studio help, have made themselves two of the worlds most popular men. Fans will flock to see them in anything-good, bad or indifferent.

 Here is percentage problem that has been discussed for weeks. l ap showing you only 12 spades, because we are going to concen- trate on that suit and the missing queen.
 South is declarer and has plenty of entries into dummy. West opens the king Of clubs and declarer wins in dummy with the ace, re- turning the three of spades. East puGs on the four r-spot, declarer goes up with the king and West plays the jack.
 Now South goes back over to dummy and leads the five of spades. East plays the eight. Should South take the flnesse?
 When East follows to the second spade lead, the only missing spade is the queen. Some players say that the chances are exactly 5O-50 for East or West to hold the queen.
 However, Fred Kaplan of New York brings out the point that West still has II cards in his hand, having played the club king and spade jack; therefore there are Il chances that he holds the queen against 10 chances that it is in the East hand, East having played g club and the four and eight of spades. Others say there is less likelihood of finding a doubleton queen-jack in the West hand than of singleton jack. In my opinion the odds favor East to hold the queen.

CTS and the King Cole Trio in the cast.
 Stirring entertainment is offered in 'The Hoodlim Saint" with Will liam Powell making his first film appearance in more than year. He plays the role of 8 man who scoffs at'faith in anything except the pow CT of money. This brings him into conflict with the views of Esther Williams, co-starred in the new pro- duction, as the girl whom Powell loves, but who turns him down when she realizes that his frantic pursuit of wealth and power can bring them nothing but unhappiness.
 Powell offers warm and touch ing human portrayal of the lost hero, while Miss Williams reveals an arresting dramatic talent as the girl who begs him to toss aside his ruthless and overriding career. Angela Larsbury, as the "other woman" of the story, adds another brilliant portrayal to the picture,
 Others in the picture are James Gleason, Lewis Stone, Rags" Rag land, Frank McHugt and sim" Suml11erville.

Better Than DOT Expected By Yale Man

New Haven, Aug. 5-UP)-Whilt DDF IS one of the most effective anti-pest organic compounds science has developed, it is merely the forerunner of better insecticides. Dr Roger B. Friend, lecturer in forest entomology at Yale University. be- lieved today.
 Disclosing that several more ef- fective insecticides were fin the ex- perimental stage already" Dr. Friend declared that "DDT is not panacea for all our entomoligical ills.
 There is tremendous interest in the effect Of organic compounds on animals and plants. The develop ment of DOT is only one, albleit the most striking of them, and We still have to iron out some wrinkles in it's use"
 Commenting on uses of DDT, the entomologiSt pointed out that "the development of airplanes for spray ing purposes has resulted in means Of distributing the insecticide over great areas very rapidly and effect ively
 As far as using the solution against agricultural pests" pr. Friend declared there is no doubt that for the control of some pests of agriculture DOT offers a real solution"
 Among serious pests which DOT destroys is the codling moth.
