PENNY-IN-SLOT

After the talkies-"Soundies."

Some-

thing new in entertainment has come from America.

IT

is the penny-in-the-slot motion picture Round cabinet, the Panorum.

It is being put on the market by Jimmy Roosevelt, son of the President, and the Chicago' slot machine Mills Brothers.

BACK TO THE FIRST FILMS

The Panoram is really the old, original Idea of mo- tion picture presentation, brought up-to-date în 10min. three-minute, swift-nction flims, with full sound effects, all contained in a cabinet not much larger than one which might house a full-size radia set. The machine is started by the insertion into the slot of an Amerleast dime (about Gd), or the equivalent in other colange.

It is intended to supply short, cheap, snappy en- tertainment in night clubs, restaurants, saloons, big shops, and so on.

The pictures are thrown on to a mall mirror by a projector contained inside the machine, and reflected from that to a larger semi-transparent screen, 17 inches by 22%, which alone is visible to the audience,·

The synchronising sound track is linked up with the working film. The sound can be regulated to superimpose itself over even the noise of a large num- ber of people in conversation, yet without the blastinit cffects so often experienced in certain mollon picture hollsey

COMPLETELY FOOLPROOF

One of the drawbacks as It is now is that the payer of the dime hus no choice, and has to lake what is there and in the rotation in which it is joined up in the Alm. There are no real top line motion pieture per- formers in any of the pictures to far, drawbacks can be changed in the courge of time.

But all these

"SOUNDIES“

The machines cost about £175 in the United States, are self-operating and declared to be completely foolpront. Jimmy Roosevell expects to be able to place one of his "soundies" in almost every night club in America.

But there is no danger that it will be n rival to the eineina.

lyrical about sleep, but if

he had been alive to-day, and had experienced some of Lon. don's Blitzkrieg, he would eer- tainly have written a whole play on the subject.

When I think of how only a few weeks ago I used deliberately to stay up when I could have been asleep, I shudder! And now the subject has taken the place of the weather in the citizen's snail talk. No one says "What fright- ful weather," on meeting a friend, Instead you hear "Well, I had nearly five hours sleep last night. How are you getting on?"

But I discovered that sleeplessness was beginning to make a difference to my looks, and a good many other women have made the anime com- plaint. My skin began to look a bit muddy, I lind inore lines round my eyes than were there before the battle began, and my hair wos untractable and limp. So I took steps.

My first step consisted of a small dose of salts every morning before breakfast, to clear the system of the effects of aleeping in an under- ground shelter with the minimum of oxygen. My second was treat my skin to a cleansing pack -you can get quite good and in- expenalve ́on at any chemist, with full Instructions, and the effect is to make your Laco feo? all fresh and new.

To start from the hale line and work towards the crown is the best way, and special- ly to carry the massage down the back of the neck, where the nerves are. When I had washed my hair, I gave it a tonic-another quite inexpensive purchase-using pad of cotton wool and applying it down partings, all over my head. Whot with the tonte and the mas- sage, my head was soon tingling and the sense of well-being war extraordinarily pleasant as the blood was stimulated Lo Bow through the tissues.

Most of alt 1 enjoy my hot baik, with lots of salta in it—or a Nttle ammonia, falling saits-so that the pores of the skin are deeply cleans- ed. I've invested in a nice scrubby brush. When I've thoroughly soaped myself, I scrub the lather well in rind then after a plunge under the water, scrub it out. I've always believed Ut hot baths. should be a ritual, but never have I enjoyed one so much as, after a night in a shelter with bombs und gum-fire crashing all round me. After a good rub with a coarse towel, I feel as though I could knock down a 'bus-or a Menser- schmitt.

Ritual of Rest

sounds a lot of trouble, but it's not really too much to secure the fine, invigorating effect. Worth the trouble, too, is to prepare your- self for rest at night. Quite a number of women seem to sleep in their clothes, which I think is futal the hope of rest. It is im- portant to take off all your day garments, · especially, corsets and shoes, and either wear or get ready to slip into a light, warm wrap. The siren sults we heard so much about at the beginning of the war are first-class, because the trouser- ed legs keep you really warm. Have a pair of warm light silppers ready as well. You can put your day clothes in a nest pile so that you can grab them if you have to evacuate suddenly.

For myself, I go to bed really early-about 7 or 8 pm. so that I have a sporting chance of rest be- for anything starts-and I begin early in the morning to get things dono, I fake a hot nightcap, read little, and then settle down. And

that It I can manage to get to sleep before the gunare begins, I can usually stay asleep for quite a while. But oh, how I yearn for my quiet litle cottage in the vil- logel

Coastal Look-Out

Invasion dangers may have diminished—but the vigil around Britain's shores must never be relaxed. What that constant watch entails is vividly described here by

F. G. H. Salusbury

VERY nerve in his body

El as finely stretched as the

E string of a violin. His eyes have been straining into the darkness until they seem to be mounted on yard-long stalks.

On his alertness, his judg- ment, depends, in a large measure, the efficiency of the const defence battery of which he is a look-out man.

extra

It is a dirty night, and he is cold, despite his clothing for there is nothing between him and the wind which whips in from the sen.

He dare not relax, nor snuggle momentarily into, a corner. He dare not lean for a second against a wall. That way lies the terrible danger of sleep which is on you before you can bat an eyelid.

"Oh, my," he sings over and over to himself, in an echo of the last-war song, "I don't Arant to die, I want to go

home."

And the wind which is in a devilish mood, seems to pull his eyes two yards farther out -and-snap-them-buck-again-

Hell! What's that patch? Out there! Just off the head- land! It's a bout, it's an E-boat. No! Get away with you, it's nothing! It's just a box drifting; any fool could tell that.

After France

UNTIL last May the const defences of Britain were con- centrated on ports and all the that they imply, with Army and the Royal Navy working in the closest co- operation,

Rather luxurious work it was, too, in the estimation of other soldiers and those civi- lians who saw nothing but the trim brick and stone exteriors of the fortifications and their satellite buildings.

་

Then came the disaster in France, and, with it, the very lively threat of invasion.

Our coast defences became un- usuntly, and unfamiliarly impor- tant. They expanded with rapidity and to an extent which are not public property,

The last shred of luxury-It was always fetitious-was ripped from their functions.

The co-operation with the Royal Navy continuer as before. The poris

are guarded as before, But there are now, in addition, long stretches of coast which would pro- vide an invader, with an unpleasant surprise.

This is where the canst defence batteries receiving less publicity, possibly, than even the A.A. bul- teries had in their lonely days- hold the first land ne, and can never slacken in their task. Their guns, as is well known, are heavy, medium and light.

The heavies would engage bat- Beships at long range, and give a convoy its Arst welcome.

Searchlights

The mediums are for much the kume purpose at shorter range. The light guns are designed for small, fast-moving targets attack- ing the immediate neighbourhood.

All are aided by searchlights, either of a particularly illumina- ting kind--as in a beam-or of general nature-a sort of imitation daylight to give the
