THEATRE and MUSIC Studio Produces Medical Lore To Back Frankenstein, Wolf Man Little Symphony In Extra Concert Guidc to Theatres Mystery of Death that "although remote, some individuals could be put in storage for long periods of time, brought back to normal existence for other periods, and permitted in this manner to live for centuries." In Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man Bela Lugosi in the role of the monster, is frozen in ice, chopped out and revived; Lon Chaney, in the role of the Wolf Man, is supposedly dead for some time and entombed, but when two grave robbers pry open the, stone coffin, they find him alive. In 1919 the German medical profession investigated an extraordinary case which after careful examination, was listed as hibernation for "some months." Dr. Edward P.

Vollum, a surgeon in the U.S. Army, reported in a research paper that there are forms of suspension of life which could defy the highest medical skill and he listed trance, au-tohypnotism, and hibernation among them. 1104 off 723 fiw distil Barbara Stanwyck.

Coast, Senate Hears Naylor Leads Request Program of an 1, Haydn, Schubert and Mozart By THOMAS ARCHER. The first of two extra-seasonal concerts by the Little Symphony of Montreal, given at the Hermitage last night, once again confirmed what a valuable addition this new ly-formed group of instrumentalists is to the city's musical forces. The standard of playing is exceptional ly high, the music interesting and novel even when chosen from works well known in performance bv larger aggregations, the conducting oi aernard in ay lor unusually intelligent and sensitive. i Last night's program was in the nature of a request one. Some of tne mgniignts of the past season were repeated in-Iudir the Mozart Symphony in minor and Schubert's singularly beautiful and appealing Symphony No.

5 in flat There was also the Handel Concerto rosso in minor with the unforgettable air with variations and the Overture to Haydn's opera, Armida. The Schubert Symphony won honors, perhaps because of its musical appeal. Mr. Naylor, a conductor who is meticulous to the point of being a real classicist, secured an extraordinarily fine balance. How much of it is directly due to him and how much to the constitution of the orchestra and.

the ability of these picked instrumentalists, it is hard to say, but not only was this performance an exhibition of a fine ensemble, but, at the same time, each player seemed to preserve his individuality to a far higher degree than would be possible in the modern-sized orchestra. The same may be said of the quality of playing in the Mozart Symphony which again sounded more personal and expressive this intimate atmosphere than under the usual concert hall circumstances. The Handel concerto was given a representative performance, Maurice Onderet, Lionel Renaud and Roland Leduc distinguishing themselves in the concertante parts. The Haydn overture sounded a good deal more dramatic than the one Gluck composed six years previously for his more famous opera on the same subject. The second concert is to take place at the Hermitage next Tues day evening.

FINES ARE LEVIED Price Regulation Breaches Cost $25 to $500 Fines ranging from $25 to $500 were imposed yesterday on accused convicted of breaking Wartime Prices and Trade Board regulations and for failure to make provincial sales tax returns. The $500 fine and costs was imposed by Judge J. C. Langlois on Mrs. Gabrielle Dion, 1161 Soulanges street, for neglecting to make provincial tax returns during August, 1942.

in default of payment, tne wo man will serve two months in jail. A fine of $100 and costs was meted out to Aaron Feidman. 2030 Lawrence boulevard, for selling white socks wholesale at higher than ceiling prices, while a $25 fine and costs were demanded or Napoleon Girard, 286 St. Denis street. St.

Lambert, for selling maple syrup at prices above the W.F.T.B. limit. Also arraigned on maple syrup sale charges. Albert Fail, of St Antoine l'Abbe, Huntingdon County, and Albert Benoit, of Ste. Anne des Plaines, pleaded not guilty and trial was fixed for June 8.

Trial was also set for June 9 when Harry Levites, 4583 Jeanne Mance street, and Harry Bronstein, 1166 St Dominique street denied violating W.P.T.B. regulations. Levites faces four charges in connection with sales on the instalment plan, while Bronstein faces six counts relative to the sale of potatoes. That the dead may come back to life, as depicted in horror motion pictures, is a possibility and not so fantastic as many believe, Universal research records insisted during the production of Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, the film starring Ilona Massey and Patric Knowles which opens Friday at the Princess. Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill, Maria Ouspenskaya and Lon Chaney have leading dramatic roles in it Human bodies, it was revealed, can be put in storage, frozen for long periods, and be brought back to life.

Medical books cite numerous cases where people have relapsed into hibernation and their bodies have shown no signs of life. Authorities have contended that this is possible for prehistoric man, like the beast, was supposedly gifted with the mental facilities to hiber-mate through the long, bitterly cold winter months. In December, 1935, Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel prize winner and a member of the Rockefeller Institute, asserted in a lecture on The INTERPRETING THE WAR NEWS By GLENN BABB (Associated Press War Analyst) China has won an important vic tory for the United Nations in turning back the Japanese drive' along the Upper Yangtze River. The most heartening feature of this operation is the proof it affords that China no longer is fighting alone.

Her allies now are able to bring help directly to bear on a critical bat tlefield. Major credit for the bluntin of the enemy spearheads which were thrusting westward through Huoeh in the direction of Chungking must go to Chiang Kai-shek's own armies. But there is no doubt that the ap pearance or American lighters and heavy bombers over the battlefield had three hichly important results. The aircraft wrought heavy damage to the enemy's supply routes, they denied him the advantage of air superiority and they did more than anything else could have done to revive the fighting spirit of the weary Chinese armies. Japan's chief hope in this stage of the war has been that she might be able to end Free China's resistance before Allied help which for some months must be repre sented almost entirely by American air power couia arrive in truly effective quantities.

The enemy setback in Hupeh may mean that already it is too late to take advantage of this opportunity. AIR FORCE STRONGER, The strengthening of the United States Air Force. Gen. Chennault's command in China, has been in pro gress ior some monuis. probably having begun soon after the Casablanca conference.

The war council recently concluded in Washington undoubtedly approved continuation of this reinforcement, perhaps at an accelerated pace. This prospect, coupled with the Chinese success around Ichang, gives basis for the hope that Free China will be able to keep her banners flying through the summer and well into the seventh year of her fight against Japan. In the fall the Allies should be able to do something about the Burma back door, unless many signs attending the Washington meeting were misleading. Gen. Stilwell.

who has just paused briefly in London on his way back to China, probably is the bear er or good news lor Chiang. There is every indication that Allied fliers have pretty well torn away the air umbrella from the en emy's principal upper Yangtze bases in four days of raiding which reach ed a climax Monday, when a Chung- King communique announced auiea and Chinese planes knocked 31 enemy craft out of action. Earlier estimates put Japanese air strength in the Ichang area at 200 planes, and the last few days certainly have put a big dent in that total Last night's Chungking communique commented that "the enemy's air strength thus has been greatly reduced and his planes practically made no appearance today." There has been nothing previously to match the sustained hammering given the foe around Ichang. Whether such operations can be sustained for long periods is doubtful. The growth of the American Air Force has not decreased its supply problem; all its fuel and bombs still must be flown in from India over the Himalayas.

At any rate the recent threat to Chungking has been abated. There probably will be others and China undoubtedly has an anxious sum mer ahead. But unless the Japanese can regain air superiority over the critical battlefields it is dim cult to see how they can make much real progress toward knock' ing China put of the war. It may be that China's most critical period already is over. The popular name of Gestapo stands for the "Geheime Staatspo-lizei" (Security Police).

A resolution urging that churches throughout Christendom be given representation on the peace treaty council when victory is won, was passed today at the closing session of the Saskatchewan conference of the United Church' of Canada. i A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to Prime Minister Mackenzie King and to the secretary of the Canadian section of the World Council of Churches.

Following lengthy debate on the subject of temperance, the delegates endorsed a resolution calling for the resignation of E. P. Taylor, chief executive assistant to Hon. C. D.

Howe. Minister of Munitions and Supply. The resolution charged that Mr. Taylor's interest in liquor consumption was "a distinct weakness to the Canadian wartime program." (Mr. Taylor is president of Canadian Breweries).

By resolution the conference also criticized use of shipping space for transportation of beer to the Middle East. It called on Hon. J. A. MacKinnon, Minister of Trade and Commerce, to stop the shipments or resign.

Uniformity throughout Canada of marriage laws and regulations was urged in other resolutions passed by the conference. sion Day, it was announced last night by J. E. Gariepy, secretary. Post-war World Comes to Screen Paramount Announces First Film on Theme With 'The Time is Now' The -widespread interest in postwar conditions has finally hit Hollywood.

It is considered a remarkable characteristic of the present upheaval that so many governments have never lost sight, even in the darkest days of turmoil, of future conditions, both international and domestic. Perhaps it is not fair to say that this benevolent foresight has just occurred to film producers. It is known that several major studios have been interested in it as film raaierial fo some time and have tad members of their research nails working on the problem. But the first definite announcement has just come through. Paramount went on record by listing its intention to make such a film.

It is based on a story by Stanley Paler and is to be called The Time is aow. In it will appear susan Kayward and James Brown and Walter MacEwen will produce it lor the studio. The Time Is Now will deal in particular with the post-war problems of returning soldiers, a leading factor in the period immediately succeeding the end of hostilities. It is not known whether Washington will supply any official advisers for the film, but it is fairly obvious that such a theme would not only have valuable propaganda values for the future but also have a reassuring effect on the public now. The choice of such a subject, at such a time, contrasts strongly with the type films made at a corresponding time in the last war.

Most of them were of the Beast Of Ber-Ln type, with occasional sad films about the victims of German atrocities. NOTES OS THINGS Mary Pickford confided to a reporter here that she had spent a good, portion of her recent trip to New York scouring that city for an engagement ring for Hedy Lamarr, the request of John Loder. the British actor who recently took out a marriage licence to marry the Metro actress.

There is as yet no confirmation of the rumor that Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (at the Princess Fri-dav) will be followed by a sequel called Frankenstein And The Wolf Man Have Tea With Dr.

Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. Charles Laughton makes his first film appearance for the Metro studio since Mutiny, On The Bounty in Stand By For Action, which opens at the Palace Friday. In the first picture he played Captain Bligh. This time he been promoted to an admiral.

Virginia Christine, who is playing the blonde heroine of Warners' new film. Truck Busters, due at the News Reel Friday started her career in a different type of role altogether. She won her screen test after being spotted in the title part of Ibsen's Kedda Gabler. They Got Me Covered, the Bob Hope-Dorothy Lamour comedy at Loew's, is to be held over for a second week. One of the first films Ida Lupino ever made, starred John Loder.

HEIRESS IN DEATH LEAP Plunges from 16th Storey New York Hotel Window New York. June 1. (IP) Mrs, Janet Snowden Gill, 29, twice-married daughter of the late James H. Snowden, oil millionaire, and the wife of a United States Army captain on leave, plunged to her death today from the 16th floor of the Savoy-Plaza Hotel.

She was the former wife of the late Don Francesco Caravita, Prince Di Sirignano, Italian sportsman. Her nude body was found on a fourth floor extension of the hotel shortly before her husband, Capt. William Shermac Gill, planned to leave for Washington. Gill, 53, told police that he was taking a nap when Mrs, Gill disappeared. Detectives said he told them his wife had suffered a nervous breakdown and had been under care of a doctor.

The Gazette.) "All of these obstacles have been met successfully up to date," said Mr. Bertrand. "We are subsidizing the building of ships, some of which are already in service. We are trying to get our fishermen to use better equipment and to change some of their methods, and, most of all, we are asking those who would have deserved a well-earned rest to shoulder the burden once more, and go out and replace their sons who are now on ships plying the seven seas. When one stops to think that at the inception of the war we had about only 15 war craft, and that we now have more than 500 afloat, one realizes the difficulties met by a nation of 11.000.-000.

Planes apparently took off from submarines nearby and came over and bombed the forests without being caught "Our lookout man saw them In each case, and in the mouth of the Columbia River a submarine shelled the forest there. In each case we have had these small crews nearby, which could have caught any fire which may have started." Watts supplemented his assistant's testimony with the statement that the first bomb "did start a fire and our crew put it out" He added: "They found the bomb fragments and the nose of the bomb, with Japanese inscriptions on it So there was no doubt whatever about where the bomb came from, nor its having started a fire." terday lor the ceremony.

Watts, chief of the Forest Service, told the committee at a recent executive session that what was believed to have been a bomb dropped by a Japanese plane started a small fire in southern Oregon which was quickly extinguished. His testimony followed an assertion by Senator Rufus C.

Both counties are in southern Oregon. The date of the alleged attack was not disclosed. HONORARY DEGREE CONFERRED ON KING Canada's Prime Minister and 8 Others Honored by Columbia University New York, June l.B Honorary degrees were conferred today by Columbia University at its 189th Commencement upon Prime Minister L.

Mr. Dore reviewed the salaries paid to rural school teachers and said that more than 80 per cent of Catholic rural teachers in the province were now receiving more than $300 annually. This year, he said, the government planned to grant an additional $600,000 to municipal school commissions to help them increase teachers' salaries. The report also told of steps taken to attract more male teachers into rural schools. The government was attempting to do this through the payment of premiums.

CT1) Victor Dore, superintendent of Quebec public instruction, said today in his annual report to Provincial Secretary Hector Perrier that school teaching must soon be declared an essential industry and the salaries of teachers must be increased or quality of teaching in the province is bound to suffer. Mr. Dore said that more than one third of the male teachers in the province have enlisted in the armed forces since the outbreak of war Many women teachers have also joined the forces or left teaching for remunerative war jobs. "Although the vacancies were filled, in general, by married women the problem has become so acute that 130 persons without aiplomas have been allowed to teach in Protestant schools.

Sinking of a schooner by a freighter on the Atlantic coast fishing banks "a few days ago" was announced here to day by Hon. Ernest Bertrand, Can adian Minister of fisheries. Mr. Bertrand was discussing be fore the Bronx Rotary Club the in creasing wartime difficulties facing Canadian fisheries. He did not enlarge on the sinking mishap.

"On the Atlantic coast, convoys travelling without lights on the banks have rendered fishing extremely dangerous," he said. "Enemy subs have been sighted on the fishing grounds and have in some ways impeded the free movement of our fishing fleets." Another difficulty Canadian fisheries are coping with, Mr. Bertrand told the meeting, was the loss of younger, better fishermen to the armed services, and the requisitioning of some of the best fishing boats as navy and air force auxiliary vessels. In addition to this, he went on, was the fact that some 2.000 previously licensed Japanese fishermen had been withdrawn from the Pa- cific coast fisheries.
