SITTING PRETTY"
IS REAL COMEDY
AT 10Th CENTURY

In "Sitting Pretty" which opened
yesterday at the Goth Century The
atre, Twentieth Century has
come up with a rare and rollicking
screen treat that will have the local
citizenry bursting at the seams
with irrepressible mirth.
Criginality-fresh and scintillat-
ing--is the keynote of this hit;
originality that doesn't take off on
a flight of fantasy, but, instead,
has its roots in down-to-earth
problem and its hilarious compli-
cations with which every family is
familiar. That problem is the uni
versal one of getting reliable
taby-sitter.
You may have had luck with
your baby sitters, but imagine, If
you can. suave, sophisticated Cliff
ton Wetb coming to your door
and imperiously demanding to be
shown to his room-insisting that
he is the resident baby-sitter you
advertised for. Robert Young and
Mameen O'Hara's first impulse, Of
course, is to throw him out as q
weird imposter. But you don't do
that to a Belvedere-not Clifton
Webb's Belvedere, at any rate.
Belvedere stays, but not before
he blandly informs the brow
beaten couple that Cd he's a
genius, CD he hates children, and
(3) will have no trouble at all
handling their three obstreperous
offspring All of which turns out
to be true in a manner that Will
shatter your funny ZONE.

FILM personal
COLUMN" IS AT
CAPITOL THEATRE

Something new, stirring and SEN
sational in screen entertainment is
promised when the psychological
mystery-romance, Personal Col
umn" comes to the Capitol tonight.
Enlisting a distinguished cast OF
outstanding screen favorites in CO.
starring roles, such as George San
ders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn,
and Boris Karloff, this subperb
Hunt Stromberg production pos
sesses in good measure every ele-
ment necessary for out-of-the-
ordinary film fare.
The story concerns an American
show girl working in London, whose
best friend disappears, and is
thought murdered, after answering
an ad in the personal column of
daily newspaper. Lucille Ball plays
the fast-talking, alert American
girl to perfection She is willing
bait when Inspector Temple
(Charles Coburn) of Scotland Yard
ELECTS her aid to round up a dam
gerous maniac responsible for this
and many similar crimes. During
the course of Lucille's hair-raising
adventures, she meets up with
many strange, suspicious charac-
tiers, like Boris Karloff, Joseph
Calleia. George Zucco and Sir
Cedric Hardwich. Even George
Saunders, with whom she has a
swift. overpowering romance, does
not evade suspicion.
But it would be unfair to give
away the denouement of this in
triguing mystery at this point. You
must see this fascinating whounit
and find out for yourself!

oxygen Level May Be Clue TO
Better Health, Longer Life

ST. LOUIS. - Better health and
longer life for middle-aged people
may be achieved by maintaining
the proper level of oxygen consump-
ton in the body.
Physicians, working at st. Louis
City infrmary in cooperation with
Washington university, believe old
people may be able to ward off the
so-called "old age diseases if the
proper level is achieved.
On the basis of their study Of / 900
persons, the investigators think the
ideal oxygen consuming rate occurs
in the first 10 years of life. The rate
then falls until the age of "a and re-
mains stable until age As.
Then, according to their findings,
is when the trouble begins. They
speculate that a dropping rate
Of oxygen consumption indicates
threat Of a degenerative disease.
When the rate begins to climb
again after age As, the doctors be-
neve, it may be due to the body:
fight against a degenerative ailmen
such as cancer or heart disease.
The psychologists - physicians
who study aging processes of th'
body - therefore try to maintain
oxygen consumption at the 24-yeat
age level. With special diets ant
medical care they already have re
ported "some progress"

hotel, and promptly assembled in
the lobby of the building. No one
was injured, and the blaze was con-
fined entirely to the "Blue Room"
which was gutted.
According to Mr.. Gellens and
Fire Chief Jody Holzmueller, the
foil paper used to line the walls
and ceiling of the cocktail lounge
helped to confine the flames to the
interior of that room.
Mr.. Gellens was unable to ascer-
tain his loss when interviewed by

The Hotel Windsor is one of the

sively modernized by Mr.. Gellens
the "Blue Room" being one of the

Mr.. Gellens said it was his belief
that the prompt arrival and efficient

International literature is being

sands of families by the agents of
its nationwide network of field Of
fees, Mr.. Hooper said. In addi-
tion the company is offering,
through its coast-to-coast radio
broadcasts, a brochure on the pre-
ventiOn, symptoms and treatment
of the disease.
1--WE are eager to back up the
work of all local health and infan-
tile porolysis agencies in an effort
to wipe out this scOurge," he said
and we feel that one of the great
est contributions we can offer is
our campaign to make people con-
scious of their personal and social
responsibility in fighting polio cpl
denies.
"The tremendous number of re-
quests for polio information being
received by our home Office at New
ark, N. j., is very gratifying. L
indicates an increasing awarenesi
of the Importance of a reasonabl!
good knowledge of the subject"
Meantime, Prudential's medica
director, DR.. Edwin g. Devils, say
that until an effective polio vaccin,
is discovered, parents are the bes
'inoculation| against the spreat
of the disease, according to MI
Hooper.
He quoted DR.. Devils as sayin
that since 80 per cent of all poll
cases occur in children under IL
parents, by having their childre
comply with the preventative stan
dards established by local author
tiles, can play major role in al
; resting the spread of polio to epid
