By ROBIN COONS
HOLLYWOOD.—New picture pa
rade:
Eleanor Powell, who was "Bom
to Dance,” clicks her soles and heels
through much of the footage of
this new, elaborate musical come
dy about a gob and a small-town
girl who wanted to make the big
time grade.
It is smart and effective clicking,
surrounded at all times by the
beauty or talent (or both) of a cast
including Virginia Bruce, James
Stewart, Buddy Ebsen, Una Mer
kel, Sid Silvers, Frances Langford,
Alan Dinehart, Raymond Walbum
and others.
Everybody sings and everybody
dances, gags afld comedy situations
abound, and it winds up with a
huge "production number” in the
current mode. Made for fun, "Bom
to Dance” should give it. Roy del
Ruth directed, and the music is
Cole Porters’
The Dionne quintuplets make
their second feature bow in “Re
union,” which is about the big get
together of the 3,000 “babies” de
livered by Dr. Luke (Jean Hersholt)
of “The Country Doctor” fame.
The reunion affords'the good doc
tor opportunity to straighten, rath
er cleverly, the tangled lives of sev
eral of his grown up "babies”—in
cluding Robert Kent, whose ro
mance with Rochelle Hudson is
threatened by Helen Vinson, who is
about to leave her husband Tom
Moore; Alan Dinehart, the great
governor who is childless and little
Gsorge Ernest who is parentless.
Esther Ralston plays the down
and-out movie star, and J. Edward
Bromberg, her faithful old home
town admirer.
Throughout these stories Con
stable Slim Summerville and Quin
tuplet PapaJohn Allen provide con
sistent comedy and there are, of
course, the quints doing two-year
old stunts. Norman Taurog direct
ed.
Bing Crosby put some of his own
money into "Pennies from Heaven”
and it looks as if he’ll get it back
with interest. It’s about a trouba
dour who “adopts” an indigent
grandpa (Donald Meek) and his
"problem grandchild” (Edith Pel
lows) and runs into all sorts of dif
ficulties with social service workers.
One of these is Madge Evans who
eventually Joins the side of the
hunted refugee and gets her man—
but not before Crosby has sung
some good tunes and untangled
himself from consistent troubles.
Louis Armstrong, the negro maestro
is a hit. Norman MoLaod directed.
In "It Happened One Night”
Clark Gable, a reporter, captured
runaway heiress Claudette Colbert
and returned her via night bus to
romance, with astonishing box-of
fice results. In “Love on the Rfln”
Gable again is the reporter, but
Joan Crawford is the proud heir
ess.
Gable helps Joan escape from
marriage with fortune - hunting
Ivan Lebedeff, and in the escape
they do a glorified hitch-hike over
quite a bit of Europe. Pranchot
Tone as a rival reporter has nearly
as good a role as either. W. S. Van
Dyke directed.

Ear Complications And Throat
Infections
Infection of the throat always
threatens a number of serious com
plications. Among them are in
volvement of the middle ear and
the head sinuses. Also, the case
which may begin as a simple sore
throat may later turn out to be
what is known as an acute strepto
coccal infection of the throat, with
numerous threatened complica
tions, involving the immediate
structures of the throat, as well as
the heart and kidneys.
We frequently find preceding an
involvement of the middle ear such
illness as the common cold, influen
za, tonsllitis or sinusitis. Ip summer
time bathing in polluted waters may
contribute to the development of
the condition. Occasionally expoa
ure to cold and damp may be the
precipitating cause of middle ear
disease.
In ear disease following respira
tory Infection, it is usual for the in
fection to extend along the Eusta
chian tube. This is the tube which
rung from the back of the throat
to the middle ear. The function of
te tube is to allow air to enter the
Internal ear structure, so that the
pressure against the ear drum from
the inside will be equal to that of
the outside air pressure.
Those suffering from enlarged
adenoids and enlarged and diseas
ed tonsils, as well as those who
have what are called septic foci in
the nose and sinuses about the nose
are the more likely to suffer middle
ear infection.
In acute streptococcal infection of
the throat (streptococcal because
the streptococcus germ is the most
common organism responsible) we
may find an inflammation of the
tonsils and of more or less of the
surrounding tissue. In the more
serious form, the Involved tissues
may become gangrenous, that is,
they succr^.b (are killed) by the
germs and their toxins.
In the second form, we often also
find constitutional evidence of tox
emia and septicemia, that is, the
germs'and their toxins apparently
succeed in breaking through the lo
cal protective barriers and enter
the blood circulation. The second
form of throat infection may de
velop out of the first. Such cases
require very prompt and competent
medical care.
Middle ear disease may extend
and Involve the mastoid, while the
gangrenous form of throat infec
tion, giving rise to toxemic and sep
ticemic symptoms, may cause irre
parable damage to the kidneys and
ueaiv.
TfcVoat Infections are therefore
not quite the simple conditions that
many are inclined to think. Many
m chronic nephritis, rheumatoid
arthritis and rheumatic heart in
volvement date from an attack of
acute septic sore throat.

TALK
TO
PARENTS
Horace Mann
By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH
This year we are celebrating the
centennial of one of the world’s
great leaders In education. Horace
Mann. To many people he is simply
a name, and yet he was one of the
great Influences in the development
of the American school system.
The pioneers who settled this
country some 300 years ago realis
ed the value of education. Scarcely
had they built shelters for them
selves and churches in which to
worship, than they turned their at
tention to building schoolhouses and
founding colleges. Coming from a
world where education was grant
! ed only to the privileged few, they
made it one of their first duties to
see that here it was available to
all.
To them, education was a finite
thing, the same yesterday, todat*
and tomorrow. So, having built
their schoolhouses and Installed
their teachers they turned their at
tention to making a living and left
education to go on for generations
under the impetus of the original
drive.
Two hundred years later, Horace
I Mann was amazed and shocked to
i find that since pioneer days educa
tion in this country had stood al
most still. The same old schcnl
houses, the same kind of teachers,
the same studies were still contlnu
lngf. For H years, he preached and
urged reforms in the system, and
much of the progress in the schools
of today is due to his labors and
his teaching.
But we need more of his spirit
abroad in the land. The parents of
America are too prone to “leave it
to George" in the matter of schools.
Impressed by their beautiful and
well equipped school buildings, they
neglect to inquire what kind of
teaching the children get, how ade
quate a preparation for life they
are given. They pour out money on
the school plant, forgetting that
bricks and mortar cannot of them
selves teach and inspire the young.
