Millions Spent on Devices That Do No Good, Says Doctor.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9 (U. P). Well-fed ' Americans waste more than $4,000,000 a year on waistline weapons for “girth control,” Dr. Fred W. Norris of Washington said today. Writing in the magazine, Hygela,
devices to destroy fatty tissue by massage has been emphasized by the American Medical Association and regulatory court actions. “Over store counters and through new companies engaging in mail order and other interstate traffic,” he said, “thousands are uselessly expending their money... . . Devices shaped like a rolling pin and

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt received a tragic letter from Mrs. I. Arthur Kramer (above), mother of one of the three children burned to death in Hempstead, N. Y., when showered by flaming gasoline from a wrecked Army plane. It was a letter from a “heart-broken mother” to a mother who also is the wife of the Président of the United States. It was a touching plea fo. Mrs. Roosevelt to help prevent such accidents in the future.

VOICE from the Balcony by FREMONT POWER
WREATHED IN THAT PERENNIAL half-smile and the remnants of what might have been a sun tan, Vincent Burke is back in town today to see to the affairs of the new season at English’s. With but a passing remark that his fishing expedition in Wisconsin warranted no glowing words, he forthwith predicted that the new season
would be the best here in 20 years.
That’s what he said, “the last
20 years.” And, “God willing,”
he put it, he will be starting his 44th year next month as English’s
impresario.
Naturally, the opening of a new season does not cause a great

AMERICA'S BIGGEST NICKELS
Lion Tamer Wins Army Furlough
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 9 (U, P.).— Thanks to the U. 8S. Army, which apparently does not need lion tamers as urgently as does Hollywood, Universal Studios expects to keep the cameras rolling.
The studio is making a picture
called “White Savage,” which has
a number of lions in featured roles. From now on they will jump to the commands of Pvt. Louis Mastroianni, of Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo, who is arriving by plane on a 10day special furlough. Universal appealed to the War Department for help when Mme, Olga’ Celeste, their animal trainer, said she could not handle the lions and suggested that the studio get in touch with Mastroianni.

' A Danny Dace musical,
excitement in Mr. Burke, for he’s seen many come and go. But whether it be a summer in Manitowish, Wis., or the promising prospects, Mr. Burke is plainly on the optimistic side. Seldom will a week go by next season when there won't be an attraction at English’s.

. Opens Next Month
AS MR. BURKE sees it now, things will start moving at his house on the 6th of next month. “Meet
the People,” which was born on
the Coast and ran for about four months last season in Chicago, will open here for three days. With no “big names” in the cast, it’s playing now in Detroit. Thereafter, Mr. Burke has the following definite bookings: Oct. 16, 17, 18—“Western Union, Please,” with Charles Butterworth. A new show about which few seem to know anything at this time. Oct. 20, 21, 22—“Boys and Girls Together,” | with Ed Wynn. Mr, Wynn made somewhat of a comeback in this one, running for six months last season in New York and three in Chicago. Oct. 23, 24, 25—"My Sister Eileen,” with the Chicago company. The dates, incidentally, jibe with the state school teachers’ convention, so don’t get caught in the push. Christmas Night, for a week— “Life With Father.” Mr. Burke still doesn’t know, however, whether itll be by the Chicago company, which was to have come here last season, or the Detroit.
That's Not All
"THE AFOREMEN - TIONED, though, are by no means all that are headed this way. Without definite dates are: 1. Al Jolson in “Hold On to Your Ha 2. “Separate Rooms, ” with Alan Dinehart, who wrote it, and Lyle Talbot. This is the. one that pleased everyone in New York but the critics. 3. A return engagement of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” with principally the same cast as played here last season: Eric von Stroheim, e Shannon and Herbert Corthell, According to pres-
ent reports, Angie Adams, who -
took over for the aijling Helen Twelvetrees here last winter, has won a permanent post in the company. | 4. Maurice Evans in “Macheth.” 5. The Shubert Follies, which is in the making now ‘6. Katherine Cornell in “The Doctor’s ilemma.” 7. “Hellzapoppir’,” with Eddie Garr and Billy House, as seen hore last season. . “Watch on the Rhine,” with Poa L , voted the best American play of the past year by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. 9. “The Corn Is Green,” with Ethel Barrymore. 10. Dance recital by Veloz and Yolanda—in November. 11. What season would be complete - without “Tobacco Road?” Yes, -it’s coming, too, with John Barton as {ual ls 2 = And in Addition ALL THIS, of course, will be in addition to the productions of the Theater Guild, which, with revivals, may total as high as 10. So you see why Mr. Burke cloaks his words with optimism: Probably at this “moment he is
over at English’s brushing away the summer’s dust and meantime
mentally mulling over box office figures. : ; !

Mr. Dickinson was getting the maccasin ready for a scene in 20th Century-Fox’s “Swamp Water,” the picturization of Vereen Bell’s novel. The moccasin’s name is Mickey and it is a $25 a day snake. This isn’t much by Hollywood standards
snake, Water moccasins and rattlesnakes earn $25 a day in the movies. Cobras get between $75 and $150 and pythons are the big timers, drawing between $200 and $250 a day. “Mickey has worked in more than 50 pictures,” said Mr. Dickinson. “He knows all the camera angles. He’s never struck at anyone yet. He gets unhappy when people smoke cigars on the set.” The snake is four years old and eats beef and cod liver oil. Dickinson says Mickey recognizes him whenever he goes to the cage, he keeps outside his home.
