CISCO KID" AND EAST SIDE KIDS
 AT 10TH CENTURY

One of the motion pictures most popular characters made an auspi- cious reappearance on the screen of the 2Oth Century Theatre last night with the opening performance of the highly entertaining Monogram film, The Cisco Kid Returns
 Duncan Renaldo plays the title role in the new series, and proves a worthy successor of the outstand- ing actors who have preceded him in the part. As the dashing. devil may-care caballero of early Cali fornia, Renaldo is a romantic figure. and is ably supported by the dron Martin Garralaga in the role ot his aide, companion and all-around "stooge.'
 With thrills to keep your eyes on the screen and comedy to keep you laughing. Monographs "Bowery Champs" opened at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre last night with the riotous East Side Kids in the fea- tured spots. It's made to entertain, and achieves its purpose. At no point is the audience expected to put itself to the trouble of thinking, al- though murder fans are welcome to try cutguessing the East Sids Kids in their own approach to solving a puzzling mystery.

VA CHANGES RULES ON VET EDUCATION

The Veterans Administration an- nounces revision of registration and enrolment procedures for veterans entering education and training pro- grams under the G. l. Bill after September l.
 The new system is designed to as- sure prompt payment of subsistence allowance to veterans, speed up pro- cessing of enrollments and ease the administrative burdens of the VA and and educational institutions.
 Streamlining of administrative procedures was accomplished by re- vising the Certificate of Eligibility under which a veteran enters train ing and by changing the method of issuing certificates to veterans.
 One important change requires veterans to apply for their Certifi- cates of Eligibility at least 30 days prior to the date they plan to start training. Early application is nec- essary to enable the VA to process the veterans application and issue the certificate.
 FouI separate forms are consoli- dated in the new Certificate of Eligibility. Any enrolment now can be completed on the one form in- stead of the several forms previous ly required.
 The change does not invalidate unused Certificates of Eligibility is- sued under the old system. Veterans will be able to enter training after September l with the old certifica- tes. Institutions will transfer their records to the new form after en- rollment.
