week ax the regular Saturday night
fe« ure
In the supporting cast are Ralph
Bellamy. Ann Sot hern, Sidney

several other outstanding actors.
To l<egin the story, a Iwautiful
blonde slips from 'he fingers of
the San Francisco police, and a
chase begins that extends half
way around the world.
Fredric March, a prominent de-
tective, is put on the trail of the
accused woman.
Word come? from Honolulu that
the fleeing woman has pawned a
ring, and March is off on the trail.
March, in addition to being a sharp
detective, is the "ladies man" of
San Francisco, and he does not lose
any time in contacting the better
looking strata of women on the
chase.
As noon as he reaches Honolulu,
he finds front contact with local
women that the blonde, wh > has he-
come a brunette, has gone to Shang-
hai.
Reaching Shanghai, March em-
ployes hie methods to again pick up
the trail of the beautiful lady.
March finally b >ok-- passage on
the same steamer that the fleeing
girl, Joan Bennett, is traveling on.
They meet, and fall in love. He
knows her identity, but does not
arrest her because the either de-
tectives on the boat for the same
purpose have not recognised her.
From there, the romance is car-
ried across the sea and back to the

The two selections Blue Barron
combines on his latest record were
composed under unique conditions.
The words for each selection were
wntten by famous lyricist.-, HOLY
SMOKE, Johnny Mercer; WHAT
KY'RY YOt'NG GIKI. SHOll.D
KNOW, Johnny Burke These were
published in a book entitled, "Song
Hit Guild." The purchasers of thu
were granted the privilege of sub-
mitting music to fit the lyrics. Two
unknowns, Royal Marsh anil Wal-
ter Behl, are respectively respon-
sible for the melodies played by
Blue Barton. 1 -wing out on a limb
predicting great things both for
these two tunes, and for the two
new song writers.

The young vocalist, Ray Eberle,
whose song styling is rapidly push-
ing him to the front, sings both
i AKE1.ESS and VAGABOND
DREAMS, the two medium sweet
-wing ballads Glenn Miller offers
on his record of the week
Mention of Coleman Hawkins
brings to mind his tenor version
of BODY A.V'D SOUL. Wherever
Coleman appears, this selection is
always f'rst requested. His new
Bluebird discing of the tune is a
thing of beauty and tasteful charm.
It should increase his popularity
and cause his name to be even in re
widely known.

Red Nichols and his g-ung knock
ed out a pair of pretty ail turn
hits on their latest waxing date
with the tune- A PRETTY GIRL
IS LIKE A MELODY and POOR
BUTTERFLY The arrangements
of both number* are absolutely dif-
ferent from anything heard before'
eithei from Nichols band or any
other dance orchestra. J. unhesita-
tingly recommend this record in
it- entirety as outstanding music
both for dancers and for listen-
ers,
Pinal check-over on November's
record list reveals two hidden nug-
gets overlooked at first glance.
Art Kas-e! and his Kassels in the
Air Orchestra has supplied us with
his unique composition, HELL'S
BKI.LS coupled with DOWN IN
THE ALLEY AND OVER I'HE
PEN< E. The first tune is his fn-
mout- theme and is recorded just
a- the Kassel group usually pre-
sents it. . . ,i vocal refrain by the
"Three Romeos" and the ensemble
chorus with the clarinets playing
a half-tone apart. The companion
piece is another novelty tune of a
different type. Again the "Three
Romeos" sing, this time about
something purchased in a pail for
a dime cider, I believe.

Reorganising Secondary Educa-
tion., Thayer. Zachry. and Ko-
tinsky for the Progressive Educa-
tion A sociation., D. Appleton-Cen-
tury. 1989.
Thi-- stimulating volumn was pre
pared hy the authors f<* the Com-
mission of Secondary School Cur-
riculum which was established in
May. 1932 by the Executive Board
of the Progressive Education As-
sociation. This report, however, is
not the sole work of the authors.
Other members of the Commission
participated in formulating the
generalizations presented.
The book focuses attention on
the educational needs of adolescents
in American society. It opens with
a review of the fundamental re-
adjustments necessitated by the
present conditions affecting youth.
Recognition is made in the intro-
duction of existing confusion in
educationnl practices and of the
opportunities and threats in our
social and cultural trends brought
about by the increasing complexity
of social groups.
Needs Relevant
The volume proceeds upon the
riculum is developed.
Part Two
Continuing in Part Two the Com-
mission sets out some desirable di-
rection- of growth and some ape
citic ways in which the area needs
of the adolescent may be met. Em-
phasis is made of the necessity of
a sound program of parent educa-
tion. The fumily still being an
indispensable educational institu-
tion in the sense that it alone seems
able to give children the affectim
without which they cannot proper-
ly survive. The notion that the mod-
ern home no longer has any unique
function to perform is increasingly
prevalent but false.
The final section of the volumn
considers the organization and ad-
ministration of the secondary
sciiool. Such topics as, guidance,
personality development in the
classroom, difficulties encountered
in the initiation of a guidance pro-
gram, staff relationships, curricu-
lum building end evaluation nre
i n te res t in gl y i n te r p ret ed.
In conclusion, we find that once
education focuses its efforts upon
human beings and their develop-
ment, and the very machinery of the
school is seen less a- machinery
than as an inherent phase of ex-
perience. to be studied, appraised

of the significance of these needs as
a basis for secondary school re-
organization and concludes with a
suggestion that needs group them-
selves into four areas: Immediate
social relationships, wider social
relationships, economic relation-
ships and personal living The
Commission emphasizes that using
these needs educationally does not
merely imply the tabulation of
youth's desire and inclination* and
then drawing up definite lists of
experiences through which these
may be met.
Erroneously Maintained
This conception is erroneously
maintained by many in the field
of education as well as by laymen.
The logical dual meaning of need*
proves of value in that it refers
simultaneously to two require-
ments; one, that education take
cognizance of the wishes and de-
sires of each individual as they ex-
press themselves at the time when
he is confronted with educational
situations, and the other, that it
treat these desires and wishes in
way* to effect desirable changes
in them. A philosophy of secondary
education deigned adequately to
meet these needs and an explana-
tion of how this philosophy can be

"Now it's time for the carriage
tn turn over. Grab the apple crate "
One Taraan picks up a small wood-
en box, and crashes the side. Re-
sult nice crackling sound of a
cart spilling poor Minetta and her
beau.
At this moment the horse runs
away (fast, rhythmic clapping of
hands), the cowardly beau ske-
daddles, and poor Minetta is left
stranded. Thus rehearsal for an-
other Radio Players production
progresses, and new fields in the
art iif sound effects are discovered.
Interesting Work
One of the most interesting and
most unpredictable parts of put-
ting on a radio production, is the
sound a la effective side. For in-
stance, a call for the warning
sound of a rattlesnake brought to
the studio the real McCoy the rat-
tles from the poor guy's tall.
Smiled the class, "This is luck,
and the sound will he perfect."
Hut, when rehearsal time came, it
was discovered that the rattles
sounded like a cross between field
artillery and thunder. Well, the
sound effects committee fcot. so
worried a headache resulted and
that was really a lucky ntroKe. It
didn't take long to find that two
aspirins in a tin box make a per-
fectly devastating rattle.
Many Effects
Lately, the Players produced Ze-
nohia's Infidelity and found that
no less than a hundred and one dif-
ferent sound effects were needed.
For instance, there was the bellow-
ing of the elephant itself. After
a sleepliiss night, a satisfactory
elephant was produced by attach-
ing the wrong end of a trombone
to the mouthpiece of a trumpet,
and by blowing this into a metal
wastebasket.
The rolling wheels of a carriage
along a country road were "sound-
ed" by the turning of an ordinary-
rotary egg-beater. Of course this
took some of the glamour out of
the love scene, but that's one of
the obstacles one has to face. Af-

with a hard, cold mike between

Rombardm ent
yuite interesting to learn the
other day that a spectacles case
snapped shut in a hurry makes a
realistic gun shut. Corn husks in a
paper sack make nice bushes
in case someone is on u desert
island, or something. Strange
enough, when you hear the rattle
of china over the mike, it is the
rattle of china. The .same with
clinking or breaking glass. Animal
sounds such as a bull's bellow, a
dog's !«aik, <>!' a rooster's crow-
are produced by the players them-
selves.
Clmk'ng chains can be made with
the jangle of a charm bracelet or
the rattle of a real chain.
Joan Bennett, who was recently
converted into a glamourous bru-
nette. (a la lleddy Lamarr) pours
on her beauty to literally steal the
entire spotlight of "The House
keeper's Daughter," Saturday mid-
night prevue, and Sunday Monday
run for the Texas Theatre. Miss
Bennett, as lovely and alluring a
heroine as ever stole the heart
uf a movie hero, is the numlter one
heart interest of five devoted
wooers.
Portraying the streamlined house-
keeper's daughter, Joan leaves her
. underworld boy friend tlat to return
to her mother, who works for the
socially prominent Randall family.
Learning that the family has left
town for tiie summer, the heroine
is pleasantly surprised to discover
that the young and handsome scion
of the faintly, played by John Hub-
bard (one of Hollywood's latest
leading men) lias decided to stay
in town and brave the summer
heat.
Anxious to break into newspa
per work, young Randell succeed-
through his father's influence and
aided and abetted by the house-
keeper's daughter he attaches him-
self to a murdei mystery, which
entirely changes the theme of the
picture. Moving at a rapid pace,
the new film introduces merry mix-
ups and unexpected complications
with the gayest scenes revolving
around a gang of underworld hood-
lums who are scared off by u tire-
works celebration.
Adolphe Menjou is extremely
amusing as a screwy newspaper-
man, and William Gargan turns in
a tint performance as Menjou's
stooge.

Washington and the White House
seem to be the center of much in-
terest in many of Hollywood's lat-
est releases, but probably the most
humorous of all Capitol City dick-
ers is "Joe and Ethel Turp Call on
tin President," which is the Tues-
day-Wednesday attraction for the
Texas screen. In the title roles of
Joe and Ethel Turp are William
Gargan and Ann Sothern, who
ideally portray Mr and Mrs. Or-
dinary American Citizen. Lewis
Stone deserts his regular duty of
the Judge Hardy films to give a
splendid portrayal of the Presi-
dent of the United Stall's. Walter

line pieUiri/.ation of the orJinary
American postman
Created by Damon Runyon, auth
or of such former film successes
a "A Lady for a Day," "Little
Mi Marker," and "Broadway
Bill," this new story tells about
a hear*-to-hcart talk that Joe and
Ethel Turp have with the Presi-
dent about their friend, Jim, the
postman, who is in trouble for
destroying a letter. They tell the
President the inside story of what
prompted good old, reliable Jim to
do such a thing. It is a remark-
able, lump in-the throat story of
American hummannoss, and the
President makes things right for
Jim.
Alexander Kurda adds another
great triumph to his chest of film
accomplishments in his latest tech-
nicolor dicker, "Four Feathers,"
tin Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day offering for the Texas Thea-
tre.
Filmed in the Sudan with all the
beauty and melodrama of the trop
u hinterland, "Four Feathers" is
the story of a young English ofli-
cer who resigns his commission
because he knows he is a coward
mid cannot -tand war lie is brand-
ed a coward by his friends in his
regiment who send him white
feathers and is rebuffed by his
fiancee. To retrieve his honor and
reputation, he sets out for Egypt
where Kitchener is embarking on
the Sudan campaign There he un-
dertakes the horrible disguise of
a branded Sengali, poses as a dumb
native, and undertakes adventures
of heroism and dare-deviltry which
help the army win the battle of
Omdurman and which save his
friends from death at the hands
of the Mahdi's soldiers.
