Reds Great In
Fuller Brush Man

| Any resemblance that Red Skel-
ton, in his new comedy, 1.-The Full
er Brush Man." playing at the New
Milford on Thursday and Friday,
has to the real thing is absolutely
accidental.
In the picture Red gets the en-
tire brush dealing routine back
wards, puts his foot in his mouth
instead of doors is suspected in a
murder mystery and doesn't sell
many brushes. But he does win
Janet Blair, his pretty co-star, and
a leadership.
Fuller dealers who have seen the
picture all agree that it's funny as
everything but they shudder at
what would happen to Red if he
had to make his living as a dealer.
No one knows exactly why the
Fuller Brush Man, in the AZ years
he has been around has become as
familiar and welcome a figure on
Americas door step as the milk
man or the pOstman.
The method of operation is fair
ly simple. There are more than T.
900 dealers, each Of them an indie
pendent, small business man with
average earnings in the $3,OOO-$5,-
600 bracket. They are not employed
by the Fuller Company. Instead,
they have a franchise for an ex-
elusive territory, usually covering
about 1000 homes. The average
dealer will probably call at each
home in his territory about three
times year. They take orders for
brushes-Fuller makes about IS
varieties-which they buy from
Fuller at wholesale and deliver
themselves to the home.
Dealers rely on constant calling
! on their customers, the free brush,
! which they pay for themselves and
hand out whether you buy or not
and the quality of their product
rather than a high powered, fast
talking type of sales technique to
maintain volumes and win friends
among housewives.
! Most dealers have been in their
territories for several years and
usually they are adept at odd jobs
like opening stuck doors, repairing
electric irons, starting the car, rae
ing Sir StOrk to the hospital and,
on occasion, baby-sitting. Not long
! ago, in New York City, a dealer did
a humanity act, crawling up the
outside of burning building to the
third floor to rescue a man trapped
there, and carrying him safely to
/ the ground.
J All this they consider part of the
days work and envy Red all the ex-
citement that occurs when he picks
up his case and starts ringing door
| bells.
Featured in support of the stars
in "The Fuller Brush Man" are Don
Mcguire, Hillary Brooke, Adele
Jergens, Ross Ford and Trudy
Marshall.

film occupying a narrow space
called the sound track which runs
along the side of the actual picture
area on the film and is of course
unseen on the stage screen. AS
this film sound track is drawn, at
a speed of 80 feet per minute,
through the highly intricate sound
reproducing mechanism, the pho
tographic image of the original
recording is transformed into very
minute electrical impulses.
These feeble electrical impulses
are then fed into a preliminary am
plifier where they are increased
several million times after which
they enter the main power ampli-
fiers, thence direct the impulses to
the special reproducing loudspeak-
ers, located on the stage behind the
motion picture screen. These loud
speakers transform the electrical
impulses into audible sound which
is Of course the end result of the
entire operation in faithfully trans
forming the best results of the
Hollywood recording technicians
into the theatre-gOers entertain
ment.

Patrons Of New
Milford Theatre Will
Breathe Clean Air

Announcement of the installa-
tion of a large modern air condi-
tioning plant in the New Milford
Theatre has been greeted by local
theatre patrons with enthusiasm, as
one of the chief comforts in at
tending motion picture presenta-
tiOn IS to sit in an atmosphere

trOlled.
With the new equipment Jne air

hour, but it will not be ordinary
air before reaching theatre patrons
it will be carefully filtered and pur-
flied by the best machinery money

air is desired to fit the season, it
will be drawn through a huge bank
of filters which served to remove
all dust and foreign matter.
The interior of the Milford will
have a temperature of apprOxima-
tely "a degrees regardless of wea-

Auto Death Seat
Is Beside Driver

NEW YORK = The death seat in
an auto is the front seat beside the
driver, says DR.. Claire L. Straith,
Detroit plastic surgeon, In the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. His name for this seat
comes from a stream of women and
girls going to Harper Hospital, De-
troit to have their faces repaired
by plastic surgery. About 20 per
cent. of them had been occupants of
the death seat at the time of an au-
to crash. In those crashes one-third
as many drivers were hurt.
In one months auto injuries in
Detroit, of all kinds, he says, 372
passengers were hurt. OF these
neary 20 per cent were in the front
seat beside the driver. With better
roads and higher speeds, the death
seat injuries and deaths are becom-
ing more numerous. But DR..
.Straith says speed is not the only
cause of injuries and deaths in the
front seat. Other causes are knobs,
cranks, sharp lodges and drop
down ash receivers. Even at a

Scientists Check On
Noise From Stars

SYDNEY - up - Two Austria
liam scientists are going to New
Zealand to try to track down those
tricky noises that come out of
space. The noises are heard on ul-
tra-shOrtwave radio receivers.
Their cause is unknown. They are
believed to come from the Milky
Way. The noises sound something
like the static that is heard on an
ordinary radio receiver.
The two Australian scientists, j.
G. Bolton and G. j. Stanley, are at
tached to the Sydney Scientific and
Industrial Research Council.
Technical Secretary A. ]. Higgs
of the radio physics laboratory of
the council says: Bolton and Stan
ley are the closest of any scientists
in the world today to establishing
the exact source of strong cOsmic
noises. They are now on the road to
finding out what stars may be re-
sponsible for the noises. They
