PAGE TWO a
DEANNA DURBIN COMES
NEXT SUNDAY TO THE
GRAND IN NEWEST FILM
Deanna Durbin has done it again.
In her fifth consecutive success this
sixteen year old singing star has bet-
tered her former efforts. The record
that seemed incredible has been ac-
complished.
When Deanna made “Three Smart
Girls” some two and one half years
ago, she came as a surprise star, a new
entry in the Hollywood firmament.
Her new picture created a lot of dis-
cussion, the burden of which was that
it was a fluke, and that she could not
repeat.
Then she made “100 Men and A
Girl,” and lo and behold, it was ac-
claimed greater than “Three Smart
Girls.” And “Mad About Music,” her
third, was hailed with approval and the
acclaimation that she had surpassed
her previous efforts.
And then came “That Certain Age”
and fans declared it was better than
the others, and shook their heads.
“She can't keep up like this” they de-
clared.
But Now Comes “Three Smart Girls |
Grow Up,” her fifth Universal picture,
which will be the attractiot at the
Grand Theatre, Patton ,on Suri®ay and '
Monday next. All there is to say is
that it is superior to the others. We
wonder if her sixth picture will sur-
pass her fifth, the seventh her sixth,
and so on into the dim and distant fu-
ture.
Deanna sings four songs in “Three !
Smart Girls Grow Up,” beautiful, well-
chosen numbers, semi-calssics. They
are “The Last Rose of Summer,” from
Flotow's opera, “Martha,” “La Capin-
era,” by Sir Julius Benedict; “Invi-
tation to the Dance,” by Weber, with
Charles Henderson's special vocal ar-
rangement; and “Because,” by Edward
Teschemacher and Guy D’Hardelot.
But it is not her singing alone that
makes Deanna’s pictures screen events
of the season. Without singing a song,
she would probably be voted one of the
most popular actresses of the screen.
The story, by Bruce Manning and
Felix Jackson, differs from the origin-
al “Three Smart Girls.” Deanna is
seen as Peggy Craig, who attempts to
unsnarl tie tangled love affairs of her
two older sisters, with results both
amusing and amazing.
Henry Koster, who piloted Deanna
in the original “Three Smart Girls” and
“100 Men and A Girl,” directed the
present picture. He has injected a
wealth of detail and characterization,
glowing personalities, speed of develop-
ment and comedy into the offering.
The camera work, by Joe Valentie,
A. S. C,, is perfect.

is pushing back the sea to make new
lands for the Dutch people, will put
into cultivation 550,000 acres of fer-
tile land.

CARE IS ADVISED IN
THE PLANTING OF ANY
SHRUBBERY EFFECTS
The time to plant trees and shrubs
is at hand and those who contemplate
beautification of their home grounds
are cautioned by the Penna. De-
partment of Agriculture in regard to
type and quality of nursery stock and
other plants used.
“Few things add so much to the at-
tractiveness and satisfaction of the
chosen and properly arranged orna-
mental plants,” the department says.
“Yet many are the disappointments of
those who set out with much enthu-
siasm and hope. Perhaps many of the
disappointments are due to the failure
of the plants to grow. Poor condition
of the stock when received from the
nursery and neglect of watering later
on are the chief reasons for most of
these failures. Securing the plants from
nearby growers who can supply them
and guarantee delivery in a fresh con-
dition at planting time.
“Pennsylvania is fortunate in being
well supplied with growers of nursery
stock adapted to Pennsylvania condi-
tions; in fact, some nine hundred nur-
serymen scattered throughout the
state, are in position to meet any de-
mand for stock that may come this
way. Perhaps the g.eatest source of
disappointment in planting of home
grounds comes through the purchase
of bargain roses and other small shrub-
bery. Many of these ‘cheap’ roses are
‘spent’ stock which has been discarded
by growers in order to make way for
young vigorous plants. In other words
these ‘sent’ plants have served their
period of usefulness as bench roses and
therefore cannot be expected to pro-
duce satisfactory results when plant-
ed in the open. In addition they invar-
iably reach the buyer in a very dried
out condition and ofter will not respond
to the best of treatment. Purchases of
all forms of nursery stock are most
satisfactorily made from growers
whose stock receives regular annual
inspection and certification by the De-
partment of Agriculture; in fact, it is
illegal to sell nursery stock in this and
most other states unless it has been in-
spected and certified.”

Rich in elaborate stage numbers, !
tempered with a good, down to earth
story revolving about a girl who
climbs from singing in cheap night |
clubs to comedy stardom, “Broadway |
Seranade” contains every conceivable
element of entertainment. The songs,
sung by the star, range in type from
hits of the Gay Nineties, through the
grand opera selections and on to top
tunes of today. “For every Lonely
Heart,” “One Look at You” and “Time
Changes Everything” will be current
sensations.
In his role as Miss MacDonald's
composer-pianist husband, Lew Ayres
demonstrates why he has been able to
near stardom in a few short months.
His performance is real, sincere, and
tempered with a sympathetic reserve
which makes his teaming with the
star one of the happiest combinations
to date.

SPRING PLANTING IS
THE BEST FOR TREES
Harrisburg.—An inventory of the
growing stock in the four nurseries op-
erated by the Department of Forests
and Waters shows that there will be
approximately twenty million seed-
lings and transplants available for
planting this fall and next Spring.
The Department recommends spring
planting in preference to fall planting.
Trees planted in the fall are liable to
be heaved by frost; are subject to in-
jury by the wind causing winter kill-
ing and to soil conditions frequently
cousing roots to decay. In the spring
transplanting is done while the buds
are dormant. There is less liklihood
with careful planting that there should
be any loss.
Land owneres who are fortunate en-
ough to send their orders in early, get
the trees reserved for them. It is not
too early now to order for planting in
the spring of 1940. A large number of
tree orders for use in the spring, 1940
are already on file. Only orders for
the minimum of 1,000 trees in lots of
500 of each kind, are acceptable. The
price per thousand trees is $2.00 for
seedlings and $5.00 for transplants.
The following trees wil be available:
transplants include: red pine, white
pine, Norway spruce and white spruce.
Seedlings include the following species
—red pine, white pine, Norway spruce,
white spruce, all three years old; scot-
ch pine, Banks pine, Japanese larch,
pitch pine, all of which are two years
old and the following hard woods
which are one year: black locust, black
walnut, red oak and rock oak.
Shipments will be made by spring,

POTATO MARKETING IS
AIDED BY GRADE, PACK
Harrisburg.—The Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture cooperated
during the potato marketing season,
which is darwing to a close, in the
grading, packaging, merchandising
and promotion cf Pennsylvania pota-
toes.
Reports reaching the department
from groups of growers and individ-
uals indicate that this program has
aided in stabilizing potato prices and
increased returns to the growers, has
increased the demand for Pennsylva-
nia potatoes when properly graded ana
packed, and has made buyers and
consumers conscious of the quality of
Pennsylvania grown potatoes.
The program, which calls for the
packing of well graded Pennsylvania
potatoes in identified peck and larg-
er bulk bags, has made it possible for
Pennsylvania growers to compete with
growers or shippers from other states
or producing areas. The program has
encouraged many growers to adopt
better production methods in order to
meet the wider market demand. A
number of communities report that the
program has provided a practical curb
to the exploitation of growers by un-
scrupulous buyers and truckers.
PENNSYLVANIA'S CANNED
FOOD INDUSTRY IS ON THE
UPSWING WITH EACH YEAR
Harrisburg.—The production of can-
ned foods in Pennsylvania continues
to expand substantially, according to
reports received by the Bureau of
Markets in the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture,
The pack or apples and apple pro-
ducts in the fruit belt of Pennsylvania
has more than doubled since 1936, so
that Pennsylvania now ranks as one or
the leading apple canning states. Like-
wise, the Pennsylvania pack of toma-
toes has doubled in the past few
years. The packs of peas, corn, beans,
sour cherries and mushrooms have al-
so increased appreciably during re-
cent years.
The Department of Agriculture
points out that the Pennsylvania can-
ning industry is experiencing a sound
period of expansion because of num-
erous advantages for the production or
canning crops in the Commonwealth
and particularly because of the great
stree processors of the Commonweal-
th are placing on the production of
high quality products.
The department also points out the
demand for Pennsylvania canned foods
has also been expanding rapidly dur-
ing recent years. Contracting with the
Pennsylvania growers for the produc-
tion of the 1939 crops of fruits and veg-
etables is now in progress.
