The story, says Pat O'Brien who's in the picture, is another rip-roaring “Front Page” with a different background. Pat’s feud is with James Cagney, and the girl is Ann Sheridan. But the picture marks the banana’s biggest dramatic break since last years “Only Angels Have Wings.” That picture was more concerned with flying than with fruit, ho vever, so in “Torrid Zone" it may be said that the banana, for the first. time, takes the spotlight. There is more to the banana than meets the eye or taste. If your acquaintance with the yellow fruit is limited to a casual how-do-you-do exchanged with the big bunch hanging at your corner fruit stand, you have much to learn. The banana is a science. Johnie Mari can tell you that. Johnie is a soft-spoken Spaniard into bananas when he was nine vears of age. He looks around 45 now, which gives him a long lamiliarity with the banana. He has been in bananas only [or the movies in recent years.

It's recommended.) Johnie told me a great many things I hadn't suspected about bananas, which are fascinating items when you get to knew them. Here are a few: one banana tree gives off only one stem of ban- anas a year. But the tree, cut down after the fruit is taken, starts working right away toward next year’s crop. The bananas tree's worst enemies are tropical storms and rats. They can't do anything about the storms, which leave a banana plantation a shambles of broken trees, but there is a bounty on the rats, which attack the roots, Every “stem” is inspected before it is shipped, in special banana boats, and a cargo has to be kept at an even, mild tem- perature. Guatemala and Jamaica are the biggest banana-pzo- ducers. In some sections natives eat the flower of the banana- as & salad. Dock workers with bananas are always on the lookout for tarantulas. When they find one they look for another—tarantulas travel in pairs. Among the choicest species of bananas are the manzanos (with an apple flavor) and the datiles (short and thick and date- shaped.) But you rarely see these on the market—they're mm up by the firms which specialize in high-priced delicacies.
