It depends. of A course, on the species, but all of them get their name from their starlike outline. If you have the opportunity to examine the back of one of them under a magnifying glass, you will be amazed at the va- rious groupings of spines and tiny Teet. At the tip of each arm, vou will find a red eye-spot, and the mouth is in the center of the body. You have to turn the fish over on his back, however, to see it. His eyes are very sensitive to the light, and so the tube feet act both as feelers and nose to the cwner. As the starfish glides along the sandy bottoms, close by oyster beds. either on the Atlantic or the Pacific uRpLE SUn-STAR . | the lower side of the arms. CoMmON STARFISH Coast, you will be impressed by the straight and determined course he Tollows. As an Oyster shucker he has no peer. Try to see a starfish embrace an oyster, or a clam, preparatory to dining on it. He approaches a bi- valve with assurance, and the knowl- edge that a fine dinner is in sight. The way he fastens his hundreds of feet, with their powerful suction, along the valves of the oyster, and with a steady pull opens the shell. is & sight indeed! You should also try to open the same sized shell yourself, if you want to get a true idea how | know how destructive they can be to a flourishing oyster bed. At one time, before they learned the cleverness of the starfish, they cut its arms off and tossed it back into the sea. Little did they know they were in- creasing their tgoubles about five times. for the starfish has the amaz- ing ability to become a new starfish | it any part of the body is left on the arm! Besides, these creatures are very tenacious of life, and this is an- other reason why it is so difficult to destroy them. You will have little trouble finding many specimens of starfish along all our shores. The most common species | are found in Maine and a great num- ber of varieties may be picked up on the beach after a storm. Some are less than an inch in diameter, others as much as one or two feet. Those on the Pacific Coast reach an even greater size. Usually these sea creatures are found | where you see the sea urchins, sea | lilies and cucumbers. When you turn | one of these fellows over on his back you will see hundreds of little tubular | feet, which arise from the grooves on They wave frantically about, and some of them seem very long. Each foot is a hollow tube that ends in a cup-shaped sucker. The upper | surface of a starfish is covered with | spines, but not so highly developed as | you find on the sea urchins. ‘The babyhood of a starfish is so com- | plicated you wonder how it ever reaches adulthood. The mother lays her eggs loose in the water. The hatching voungsters look like worms and are transparent. As they grow older you | can see their internal apparatus and the tiny little arms. In Winter they go into the deep water to keep warm, but in Summer and Autumn look for them in rocky situations in shallow THE EVENING Little Miss Withers Is Juvenile Hit “Ginger” Filled With Her Distinctive Kind of Energy. JIGHT-YEAR-OLD Jane Withers re- cites Juliet with the veteran O. P. Heggie as Romeo; she slides down coal shutes, throws bricks through show windows and transforms the Fifth avenue sissy, Jackie Searl, into a real boy, as the two juveniles dish out the fundamental emotions of pathos and comedy in “Ginger,” the new cinema at RKO Keith’s. All of which proves, if you are ac- quainted with the tomboyish Jane, that & child actress doesn't need gold- | en curls and an angel face to climb the Hollywood juvenile ladder of fame. As “Ginger,” an orphan who roams the streets of New York slums with her “gang,” mostly boys, while her foster uncle reminiscences of former successes as a Shakespearean trouper, to bum drinks at the corner bar, little Miss Withers chews slang and throws | rocks like a veteran. Later, she gets a chance to be a bit more girlish, when transformed from Ninth street to Fifth avenue. A Mrs. Parker (Katharine Alexander) adopts the girl when her uncle lands in jail. This Mrs. Parker has read a book | about bringing up children, and hav- | ing made a mess of her own son, | Jackie Searl, desires to continue her | | experiments further with the spitfire | | Jane. | | In the end, Jane transforms the | Parker household, nine servants and| all, into a real home with the aid| | of Mr. Parker, who turns out to know | more about children than a good | many Mrs. Parkers. She has the| servants accidentally using slang: | | Jackie, who had heretofore confined | his activities to harp-playing, sliding | down banisters and fighting with | | Butch, the toughest boy in the slums, | | and Papa Parker happier than since before the Wall Street crash. The kind of sacrifice you only read about brings it all about. After two days on Park avenue, Jane is set to return to the slums when Mr. Parker | bails the uncle from jail. To prevent this, he slips out of the house and steps in front of a freight truck to| | disappear by means of a hospital ward for several months. The scene in which O. P. Heggie, the uncle, goes into his Romeo on a tene- ment fire escape, while Jane, a young Juliet, interrupts the Shakespearean speeches he has taught her, to yell “Stinky, ya' maw wants ya’,” and then continues the balcony scene; and an- | other in which she uses everything but | a can opener trying to manage the difficulties of eating on Park avenue, are typical. 1f you care for child movies, this one | should stay on your list. In addition | to steady acting all around, it has a worth while story and packs a quan- | | tity of pleasant entertainment.

Now Mrs. Possum and the nine little Pos- sums were safe.y up in a tree, grinning down at him, and all because Mrs. Skunk had interfered. g Reddy is wisc enough to know when he is beaten. He knew it the instant he looked up and saw Mrs. Skunk and her five little Skunks so near him that only by a hasty jump could he get out of range of Mrs. Skunk’s scent gun. He had made that hasty jump, and then, as Mrs. Skunk advanced, he had backed away. He could have killed Mrs. Skunk ana all those little Skunks. He was big enough, with stout enough teeth, to do that thing. But he didn’t dare face tha. scent gun that Mrs. Skunk carries So Reddy had backed away and backed away. until Mrs. Possum had seen her chance to scramble to her feet and make for the nearest tree. Sonow. as he looked up at her grinning down at him, he grinced back. “I've decided to postpone that Possum dinner,” said “P'll wait til' we meet again, Mrs. Possum.” “Ah hope you will wait a long time,” replied Mr=. Possum. “I hope you appreciate the value of # having & real friend near at hand,” replied Reddy. He bowed to Mrs. Skunk and trotted off to look for a dinner elesewhere. He was a good loser, was Reddy Fox. He always is.

Mrs. Possum remained up in the tree long enough to be sure that the way was clear. Then she, too, came down and went on abou'. her hunting for food, quite as if nothing had happened. It is that way with the little people in the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. ‘When a thing is ended it is ended, and that is all there is to it. It is forgotten. (Copyright 1935.)

And this time she has a story| which is as gay and entertaining as it is light and unimportant, and a supporting cast of players who knowi their business. The name of the cur- rent piece is “Curly Top.” it's at the Palace, and it's very entertaining film fare. Of course you prodably should be warned that this reviewer is very, very fond of Shirley Temple, and so, pos- sibly, may not be able to have a cold-hearted viewpoint on the true merits of the film as a film. But you | should hear the Palace's capacity au- diences whoop with high this young lady's vivacious enchant- ings. Furthermore, if you do not| feel a warm glow in your heart when you look at that sly Temple smile and that twinkle in the Temple eye, it's a job for a psychiatrist and not any film reviewer. Shirley is at her test in “Curly Top,” and that is plenty good. The film itself, however, would be noth- ing to shout over without Miss Tem- ple, but it's really very pleasant and | because it makes no pretense of being anything but a happy vehicle for a very gay young lady, you will enjoy it. You will not mind, even. when John | Boles looks at the pictures on the | | walls of his music room and they all | | turn into Shirley Temple and smile | | back at him. And you wili not mind the fact that the seitinks smack more of musical comedy than they do of | real life.

Dick Powell’s Film at Earle Has Innumer- able Songs of Only Moderate Quality. HE entire formula of “Broadway Gondolier” lies in the trans- formation of the name Richard Purcell into Ricardo Purcelli, the type of miracle celebrated recently in a song about Senorita Donohue. As Dick Purcell, a Bronx taxi driver with a good voice, the hero of the picture at the Earle this week is invited to intone “oink oink,” “moo moo” and “bow wow” on a radio children’s hour. As Signor Ricardo Purcelli, the best darned canary in all the gondolas of Venice, however, he is beseeched to be the star artist on none other than the mighty Flagenheim Cheese Hour, an expensive institution for the advancement of American culture and limburger.

The entertainment value resulting from this “marriage.” as Mr. Moore calls the building of | the real life portion of a show along the same theme as the celluloid por- tion, will be much higher through its unity. Mr. Moore explains it something as follows: Suppose there is a picture based on the life of Stephen Foster (there is, incidentally). That gives us romance and it gives us all the richness and color of Negro spirituals for the production of our stage show | Now, we want some one to interpret those songs of Stephen Foster’s. Im- mediately we think of the Southern- { | aires, one of radio's finest quartets. (Mr. Moore says they are absolutely “tops.”) Next we will need some one for the leading roles in our stage production, so we will call upon the two stars of the picture. With a cast like that in a stage presentation written by an accomplished writer, | combined with the picture, the result, | he says, is bound to be good. In fact, it sounds too good to be | true, but if you call on Tom Moore he'll prove he can do a thing like that. He'll show you he can bring stars who are at the top of their profession to the Rialto stage. ‘The combining of the stage and scieen portions of an entertainment program into a unity, of course. is not exactly new, because it was used by Mr. Moore when the Rialto was in its heyday not so many years ago. But this time there will be improvements. Advances have been made in staging technique. The Rialto itself has undergone changes in the past few weeks; the stage has been widened and later may be made much deeper than it now is. Scenery has been bought in New York and is being shipped here by carload lots. = So Mr. Moore is going to be ready for most any sort of an extrava- ganza the needs of the moment call for. He has a production staff, too— stage manager, production manager, continuity writers, etc.—who even now are arriving in Washington to con- tribute to Mr. Moore’s new deal in motion picture presentation — the “marriage of the stage and screen.” ‘Washington, in Mr. Moore’s plans, is to be the key from which these stage shows are sent ouf to other theaters. There will be opportunities for the cream of local stage and radio talent. Already some of these have been noted down in Tom Moore's | memory. In all of these enterprises local per- formers will support a star, or stars, from Broadway, and support them just as well as any talent he could obtain, Mr. Moore says. He has some 300 artists of top caliber on his call list for taking these central roles. Of course, they will be available only at certain times, but when they are available opportunely and can be placed in the correct spot, Washing- ton, and the rest of the land, will get some quality entertainment. And quality, according to Mr. Moore, is to be the first thought in all of his pro- ductions. H. MOONLIGHTS FREE DANCING to Bernle larbes's | Orshestra. POT Tth 1nd Watar OMAC "W Sts. S.

Then Miss Myrna Loy walked out on a role in a film called | “Escapade” and Miss Rainer walked in as a last-minute substitute. ‘Today “Escapade” is established at Loew's Columbia for its third week on F street, a distinction usually at- tained only by cinemas featuring whole regiments of famed stars. | Critics all over the country have en-| ! thusiastically taken apart and put to- | gether again her virtues and charms, | as if she were a living game of me- | | chano.
