phorescent light of the kind that deep sea fish and

The amazing possibilities for novel, exotic and

The American Weekly at the laboratories of Samuel
Hibben director Of applied lighting for the Westing
house Electric and Manufacturing Company.
Black light, the rays of ultraviolet which are

in their own homes.
Seeing with invisible black light may seem i'm
possible TO the layman, but Mr.. Hibben explains
how ii be done.
Carpets Of the future will be impregnated with
dyes containing fuoresCent chemicals that shine in
the dark in the presence of ultraviolet rays. Such
chemicals have the property, says the expert, of
absorbing the energy of ultraviolet light and giving

Two Soviet
Films Open
At Cinema
By WALTER STEVENSON

A REALISTIC and somewhat
tragic view of the miseries suf-
fered by Russian children during
the Nazi Siege Of Leningrad is told
in "Once There Was a Girl" new
Soviet film currently showing at
the Cinema Theater.
Completely dominated by two
youngsters, Nina Ivanova and
Natasha Zashipina whose acting
ability rivals that Of little Mar
garet O'Brien's. the tale depicts
the lives of typical Russian
family holding out against sur
render to the invader.
1t forcibly brings out the ma
tionalistic quality OF the Soviet
nation by emphasizing the fact
that the civilian population suf-
fered as much and oftentimes
more than the military element.
The pathetic fun enjoyed by two
waits in q War-torn city. their
struggle against starvation. the
childish dreams OF a better life
and finally the shock Of a
mothers death are all woven into
touching Recommendation of war
time events.
Directed by Victor EiSimont.

TIE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY CONN. TUESDAY, AyY @ o46

i ly are glad to defer to any reason- able suggestions he may make. So what has he to gain by making one picture a year off the MGM lot7 I can't imagine unless M's the thrill of a temporary change. It seems to me. as I read the daily reports about stars trying to shake the golden letters that tie them to their con- tract studios, that they're very much like a bunch of kids playing follow the-leader.
 Warner Brothers is planning to film the life story of Hollywood's famous makeup experts, the Vest more Brothers. Movie fans may find nothing exciting in this announce ment, but it should give cause for much treble cheering here in Holly

be guilty of conduct anything but exemplary. The movie industry's reputation will be more savory when its good conduct can be taken for granted.
 Louis Jordan, a noted French screen star brought to Hollywood by David o. Selznick, tells me that he was flabbergasted on arriving here to discover that many of the great American favorites of the pre- war era have been replaced by new luminaries of whom he had never heard. Tt will be a very great shock to European audiences" M,. Jordan complains, when they learn that so many stars. whom they looked forward to seeing again are no longer on the screen" Jordan'S ob- servation is one that Hollywood might well ponder. Europe is again vast potential market, and Europe has always been far more loyal to it's favorites than Americans have been to theirs. It will be no easy task to sell Hollywoods war-baby stars to audiences abroad.
 The report that Robert Taylor is demanding from MGM the right to make one picture a year as free lance has me puzzled. AS one of the four Metro aces, he's already nak- ing so much money that his only worry; is his income tax. He has full power to reject any story he doesn't like, and studio heads whether or not they've granted him full powers in the selection of his supporting cast and crews, certain

HOLLYWOOD, May 28-At fre- quent intervals, the various studios report their net earnings. and every such report published this year shows an enormous increase in pro- fits. For example, 2Oth Century Fox recently declared a net profit of $6,241 ,953 for the 13 weeks ending March 90, as against a net of $S,- PIT, ,100 for the 13 weeks ending De- cember 3d.
 To give the studios credit where credit is due, they have all man. ifested willingness to "divvy" up this constantly increasing take" with the industry's creative workers. Writers are being paid five and even 1 ten times as much as they used to get for their brain children. Stars, directors, camerarnen and other key production workers are earning far more than they ever earned before. But there's one guy-a very impor- | tant fellow, too-wf1o is completely overlooked when the melon slices are passed around. His name is John @. Public. He's you, and me, and the man next door.
 We're paying inflated prices for our theater tickets, and I think we're entitled to legitimate squawk when we read that the eXtravagant studio profits of last year are nearly doubled this year. Certainly the men who make our movies are de- serving of profit-big profit-but we, also, are deserving of consider ation.
 From all I can gather, today's high admission fees are not attr1but- able to the wishes of exhibitors, but rather to the high film rentals that exhibitors are forced to pay to get decent programs. With business booming isn't it time for Hollywood to ease the burden of the exhibitor, and thereby give you and me a break?
 Looking through a stack of pub licity stories on my desk encoun- tered a dispatch which reports that Freddie Bartholomew has trained @ pelican to collect his mail from the postman. Being well aware of the fact that press agents never never prevaricate, I'm torn between amazement at Freddie'S great skill as an animal trainer, and wonder at his folly in sticking to profess sion as unprofitable as acting has been for him of late. A guy with his talent" could get a big money job with a. circus-especially when he has publicist eninently qualified to handle the lion.
 Speaking of publicity, I'm impressed by notice just received that the lit- tie mountain town of Sonora, Cal ifornia, has given the "No Trespass- ing Company" which has been loca- tioning there, an award for exem- plary conduct. The thing that ina pressed me is the implication, writ ten between the lines, that most movie companies (Sonora enter tains at least dozen year) must

IN May rye fell in step with the

ish.
After sagging around a cent in
early dealings, buying support
came into the pit starting a slow
climb which carried to net gain
Of 4 1-8 cents shortly before the
close. Some of the extreme advance
was lost on profit taking.

most brokers remained out of the

tons on January l.

liveries at the $1.80 IL ceiling at
times but was IA cent off the top

time this season that the contract
had hit the maximum.
Wheat trading was somewhat &C
tive in comparison with the almost
negligible amounts that have chang
ed hands recently. September Of
ferings at ceiling prices were lib
ersl in the early trade with south
western millers bidding spiritedly.
The September liquidation was
mostly swap for December buy
ing.
Receipts of wheat at principal

els, compared with 937, 1000 week
ago, but shipments amounted to

Purchases of cash corn on two

els, and some July futures were
traded in the pit at the ceiling
price.
Oats trading was at the slowest
pace in several days, with most
transa ctions in the deferred deliv-
cries which were still around 8
cents below ceilings, allowing a
margin for speculative operations.
