Laurel and Hardy return to the
campus as stars of one of the
features showing at the Campus
Theatre today and tomorrow. The
movie also stars Dante, the magi
cian, in a mixture of magic, comedy
and gangsters. It’s ‘“A-HAUNT-
ING WE WILL GO”, a praise
worthy picture in the typical Laurel
and Hardy manner.
The story selected for this latest
venture by the old masters of
slapstick and pantomine is subject
to praise for its attempt at orig
inality and also subject to criti
cism for the confusing elements
the attempt introduces. To those
who enjoy this comic pair’s brand
of nonsense, the picture should
prove very entertaining.
, Dante, the Magician, whose rou
tine of illusions is amusinb, seems
to detract from the humurous
theme of the script. Laural and
Hard take jobs as Dante’s stooges
in order to escape a gang of crooks
with whom they have become in
volved. The attempts of the two
to escape the gangsters, added in
with a mixture of magician’s props,
bodies and caged lions complete
the show.
The Lowdown:— Hectic Hilarity
in a Haunted House.
The story of a pair of twins in
old Corsica is told in “CORSICAN
BROTHERS,” showing at Guion
Hall Tuesday and Wednesday.
Stars of the movie are Doug Fair
banks, Jr., Ruth Warrick and Akim
Tamiroff.
Fairbanks plays a dual role as
the two twins, sons of Countess
Franchi. At the birth of the twins,
the entire Franchi family is wiped
out by their feuding enemies with
the exception of the new-born
twins. For safety’s sake, friends of
the family separate the twins,
bring one up in the Corsican for
ests and the other in Paris.
Twenty-one years later the twins
meet in the firest and set out to
avenge the deaths in their family
caused by the Colonnas—their
feuding neighbors. But these are
not ordinary brothers. They are
so bound together in their souls
that each feels the emotions, pain
and suffering of the other.
Both brothers are in love with
one girl, Ruth Warrick, as is their
arch-enemy Akim Tamiroff, head
of the Colonna family. One of the
Corsicans comes through all the
fighting and blood-shed and wins
the hand of the fair lady.
The Lowdown:—we dare you not
to like it.
Condensed Rations Enable Fliers
To Prevent Starvation After Crash
If Uncle Sam’s airmen are ever
forced down in jungle or wilderness
while in flight, they will be able
to subsist on specially prepared
rations until they can get to a
populated settlement.
The brand-new rations, called
Parachute Rations” by the
Wright Field Army Air Corps test
and research center at Dayton,
Ohio, were produced by the Quar
termasters Subsistence Research
Laboratory at Chicago.
In describing the new rations in
a General Electric Science Forum
address given in co-operation with
the U. S. Army Air Forces, Dr.
Everett W. Thatcher of Schenecta
dy, co-ordinator of civilian pilot
training at Union College, said that
a day’s food contains 3500 calories.
The rations are wrapped up in
sturdy, moisture-proof packages.
According to Dr. Thatcher, the
breakfast ration has four ounces of
pemmican biscuit, two ounces of
modified malted milk, one three-
ounce can of veal loaf, two soluble
coffee tablets, two cubes of sugar,
and one slice of gum.
The noon-day meal ration has
eight more pieces of pemmican bis
cuit, as well as a tube of bofuillon
extract, a package of 15 dextrose
tablets, a tin of ham spread, and
a piece of chewing gum.
The package of “D” ration for
supper consist of chocolate, su
crose, dry milk, lemon powder in
a little cellophane bag, some more
chewing gum, three cubes of sugar,
and a tin of sausages.
“Recently, a 14-man expedition
made a hundred-mile hike across
the hot desert sands of New Mexico
just to test out this new ration,’’
Dr. Thatcher pointed out. “The
expedition was composed of three
officers who were attached to the
Aero Medical Research Laboratory
at Wright Field, seven enlisted men
fro mthe Wright Field Medical
detachment, and four college pro
fessors.
“They flew to Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in an army air transport,
and early the next morning be
gan the hike across the desert.
Most of the trip was made through
the big Santa Fe National Forest,
following the wanderings of parch
ed, shallow Jemez Creek.
“It was pretty warm, which was
hard on the men, but fine for the
purposes of the whole experiment.
The highest temperature during
the trip was 127 degrees Fahren
heit. Official air recordings for the
same day were 90 degrees in the
shade.
“The party went along steadily
over rough country, at altitudes
ranging from 5000 to 9000 feet
above sea level. And the daily mile
age was from 13 to 21 miles.”
“The ration worked out very
well, and the men thrived on it,”
the speaker continued. “The 3500
calories a day which it provides
are about one-half more than the
average sedentary person needs.
“Because of the hike there were
weight losses, as much as three
pounds a day during a day’s march,
but these weight losses were blam
ed on the excercise, the heat, and
the lack of water. Certainly, it
was no the fault of the food.
“Each iman was weighed twice
daily, before breakfast and at the
end of the day’s trek. Blood tests
were also made each morning be
fore breakfast and at the end of
the day.
“Except for a few blisters and
sunburn, the men wound up in much
better physical shape than when
they started off.”
To begin with, most of the men
were in just average shape, ac
cording to Dr. Thatcher. Many of
them were laboratory workers
rather than men acustomed to hard
physical exertion, he pointed out.
“In flight, pilots and other air
men would carry the feed in their
‘jungle kits’,” he said. “A jungle
kit is a pack attached to the para
chute pack, and it contains a wel
fare of the men who fly Uncle
Sam’s airplanes,” Dr. Thatcher
continued.
