Astronomers Believe
Encke' Comet Is One
Seen in Australia
BY the Associated Press

SYDNEY, Dec. II. Australian
astronomers speculated today that
the mysterious astral body which
has flashed across southern skies
for the past three nights may be
the famed Eneke's Comet, which at
times behaves erratically.
So far the speed and path OF the
comet have not been plotted, but in
Melbourne amateur astronomers
said they hoped within a few days
to be able to say how far away 1t Is,
what 1t weighs, where 1t came from
and where 1t is going.
The comet-photographed in Mel
bourne last night - appeared on
prints as a bright spot in a dark
sky with . long, dimming tail This
tail has been estimated by astrono-
mers to be up to 75,o00,o0o miles
long.
Observed In Melbourne.
The comet was observed in Mel
bourne last night, ct times through
telescopes and at intervals with the
AAehOo C5Ob ofO4 PC2t0o Va tllICC
hours.
Cloudy weather prevented obser-
vation last night from an Australian
government observatory at Mount
Strou1lo, Canberra, where the COM
cts position was fixed on the pre-
vious night.
= DR.. Richard Woolley, observatory
director, said he was considering the
possibility the comet was Encke's,
although he had not discarded his
previous belief that 1t was a new
comet.
The position in which he viewed
the comet Tuesday night was some
distance from the computed posi-
tion of Encke's comet, DR.. Woolley
said. He added that he would be
extremely. interested to have the
views of DR.. L. E. Cunningham of
California.
Course Undetermined.
DR.. Woolley said he was unable to
give even an approximate indica-
ton of the comets course last night
because clouds prevented another
observation. The director said he
expected that if the weather were
clear he would see the comet to-
night, but that was not absolutely

would appear to show cause why the
sale should not be held.
No one did. but Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Milton Norman
said representatives Of the three
interested companies were present.
The next step, Mr.. Norman said,
will be to file suit in District Court
for permission to auction the prop
erty on for, perhaps, less than is
owed the District on it for delin-
quent taxes.
But the right Of way is likely to
complicate the sale. The Krupsaw,
Wilkins and Terminal companies
would be in pretty TX II some one
outbid them at the auction for the

The District took preliminary steps

No taxes have been paid since

The strip Of land-on which
$4,000 in unpaid taxes is due

Director I. l.. Thomson Of Carter

proved to be Encke's. He said he
believed it to be a new comet.

tions, but expressed the hope he

1t Is the theory of Song Of Sche-
herazade" that Nicholas Rimsky-
Korsakov, while a cadet in the Cars
navy, fell afoul of a beautiful girl
in Spanish Morocco and was in
spired to write all that lush music.
You will not get an A in music ap-
probation If you try to pass this
story of in class, but since the
inspiration provided by the Techni-
color musical at the Capitol is
Yvonne De Carlo, the pictures
theory Is sound enough for U.s. She
could arouse in a man the desire
to make beautiful music, all right.
This tale Of Rimsky-Korsakov's
adventure in setting love to music
is rather foolish little comic opera,
haphazardly played. There Is a
cheerful quality about It's lacka-
daisical approach, though, and 1t
does have rich, full sound track
that makes up for any other short
comings.
The beautiful music that Miss De
Carlo and Jean Pierre Aumont make
together provides a generous con-
cert of Rimsky- ky-Korsakov. Song
of Scheherazade" undoubtedly Is the
first musical film in a long time that
has sent it's customers out humming
a melody so sensuous as Hymn to
the Sun" This, Song of India"
(both with new lyrics and Fan
dango" are robustly sung by Charles
Kullman. Miss De Carlo dances, in
varying degrees Of the spectacular,

whose husband is the range peo-
pies banker.
This pair holds the major focus
in Stallion Road" but Scott OBJ
viously is the authors pet. He
plays the character of a jaded
novelist, a wise and bitter man who
knows almost, but not quite, enough
about love to play it as carefree
game. In, the course of several
hundred movies, the fellow has be-
come duller than Author Longstreet
seems to realize. Most of the laughs
he gets are sheer habit, or condi-
tioning, on the part of audiences.
Where it might have been excit-
ing by dealing with its meadowsful
and stablesful of horses, Stallion
Road" chooses instead to delve
among the romantic cliches OF the
screen. 1t would have been q better
picture if the livestock had tri-
umphed over the lovestock.
The animals serve mostly as back
ground in the Earle's new offering.
There is a promising moment, for
instance, when a herd of horses is
led to a nearby Pacific beach for
training, but instead of showing
land horses being turned into sea-
horses, the sequence has an entirely
different and lesser purpose. 1t is
devoted principally to giving Reagan
and Scott chance to court Miss
Smith in the moonlight. The horses
might just as well have been left
at home for all the good the trip
did them.
Actually, the only times when the
animals get into the picture. for
more than few seconds Is in a
jumping contest and in several Sc
quences which deal with stable
crises and display feverish equines
lying painfully in their stalls.
The pictures climax occurs in a
by-now familiar epidemic scene.
Anthrax breaks out among the
Madre range cattle, low beasts in
the social order, but carriers who
offer a lethal hazard to their equine
superiors. When Reagan, as an
1dealistic veterinarian, takes the
cattle case instead of rushing over
to a sick white jumper, he becomes
pariah not merely to the COM
munity, but most acutely in the
affections of Miss Smith.
Author Longstreet has a long
shot prescription, however, for max
ing that right again. He allows
Reagan to contract anthrax, a
malady that steams him into de-
lerium but brings Miss Smith to her
senses and leaves her knowing he
Is the mate she has been yearning
for.
1t is in this state Of mind that
she gives him q secret shot of the
serum he invented for the animals.
1t cured him, all right, but 1t did
not seem to leave the audience feel
ing very well.
The audience just laughed, as
the old doctor says, Just like one
OF the hero's beloved horses.
