"Under Your Spell"

All classical music is not good and all awing music not bad, according to Lawrence Tibbelt, who sings both types in his latest Twentieth Century- Fox picture "Under Your Spell" which has its run at Queen's Theatre at present. The only way to judge singers and songs is to judge if they do well the job they set out to per- form,"

"There are Tibbett says singers of classical songs who have no little prestige who leave their audiences absolutely cold. And Jolson singing "Sonny Boy' is more

Marcol Leveque of Clery-sur- Somme near here, had gone for a walk. As he passed through the Marniere woods, scene of bloody battles in 1918, he found a shell. It was one of the famous 105 millimeter variety, the Idnd that Americans in the trenches learned to distinguish by its deep whine as it sailed through the air.

Loveque wanted to use the bronze fuse, and started to tap at it with a bar and hammer. On the third tap the huge shell exploded. Farmers who ran to the spot at the sound of the explosion were able to find uny bits of the body of the young twenty- seven year-old man.
