The Rivoli Picture Thrilling Blood Curdling Story Is Breath Taking Famed producers of the screen's most notable all-time shockers, uni versal studios reassume the position as leader in the field of spine- tingling dramas with "Son of Frank enstein," new, powerful production "which makes the flesh creep and at the same time emerges as a dramatic triumph.

Judging from reactions of yester day's opening-day audiences at the Rivoli theater, "Son of Frankenstein" surpasses all other efforts at blood-curdlinz film fare. It com bines the stars of the original "Frankenstein" and the equally shuddery "Dracula," Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Triumph For Rath bone Basil Rath bone assumes the man tle of Baron "Wolf von Frankenstein possessor of the dread heritage of the family, a destructive monster. In one of his most difficult roles, that of a doctor torn between love of his wife and daughter and scl entific fervor for his sinister ex periments, Rathbone wins new laur els. The story, penned by Willis Cooper, opens when, the new Frank enstein figure returns to his ances tral castle 25 years after his fathers death, as stipulated by the elder Frankenstein's will.

He stum bles upon his father's grim crea tion, the hair-raising Monster of destruction, played by Karloff.

Two Big Hits A new side of Navy life is com-pellingly presented in Republic's "Pride of the Navy," which opened "Wednesday at the Rivoli theater.

This entertaining film depicts the preparation, progress and success naval experiment. In this case, the experiment concerns the per lection of a speedboat which can launch a torpedo, a so-called spun ter torpedo boat. This Republic drama presents James Dunn, in the role of a crack pilot and designer who hates the Navy but loves the captain daugh ter, who is lovely Rochelle Hudson. Rivalry lor Rocheue's nana is sup plied by Gordon Oliver, who invites Dunn to participate In the experi ments as a civilian expert. There are breath-taking moments galore, especially trie action at sea in this film.

7, 1939 "Francis J. Gorman, "Washington, D. C. "Dear sir: "I am taking this matter up with you in- behalf of the Paterson silk workers. Ever since the U.T.W.

joined, the C.I.O. all we do is go on strike, and most of the time they leave us work two or thre weeks and- then bring us out on strike again, and then send us back for the same as we came out. Just to show how strong they are, but never give us anything in return. But they want one dollar every month work or play, and I dont believe this is Justice to the Paterson workers. I.

was asked once before to start a new union here, because I have the right I5ea. will be glad to explain same to you, so please Mr. Gorman come back to the Silk City, and re-organize it with the A. F. of L.

Let us know by- answering in the Paterson papers, and if you wish 1 can get a list of names arid have each one sign that they want and welcome you and your union back again. "Respectfully yours, "A Disgusted Worker "On Strike Again." Conducted by the This Week' Story Nature! a thy shews an'iorms To feeling, pensive hearts hae charms! Whether the summer kindly warms. WT lire an" light. Or winter howls, in gusty storms, The lang, dark night!" ROBERT BURNS To the courageous congregation of Interstaters that sallied forth last Sunday, once more to tackle their ancient friend, or enemy ac cording to hi mood, or our Inter-: pretation Schunemunk, the up-predictable, the hiker's mountain par excellence, it was given to catch him, or be caught by him, in a frowning as well as a smiling mood. Old Grumpy, as oft before, again showed us his Janus-face upon this occasion.

But we belong to the trlble of nature lovers to whom the Bard of the Highlands aptly rers as "feeling, pensive hearts," and we love him, whether ho regales us with a sizzling, broiling summer's day or a raging, howling winter's blizzard. So we were a rather large company, as hikers go to be exact, tntrty when we ois-embarked from train and auto, res pectively, at Harriman station, in the early forenoon, Hearty greetings and handshakings all around, and we were g-lad to avail ourselves of an adequate motor caravan. thorughtf ully provided by our Good Samaritans, the car owners, who, with this welcome transport, promptly gathered us up for a fur ther, ten-mile ride, to the starting point for our wonted weekly walk There was a clear blue sky overhead. To the right and left of us tall peaks and ridges, forest-clad from foot to crest, framed the valley floor, traversed by our cars, swiftly moving northward over a smooth, splendid highway winding through pleasant villages. Soon the tower lng massif of old Schunemunk, ten miles long, hove in sight upon our left and theno forward paralleled our journey all the way to Mountainvule, where we parked the cars, but let this great mountain ridge run on another lour or five miles, promising that we would pre sently catch up with It for a more Intimate acquaintance and would even grind Scbunemunk's very brow under our heels, just to show him what stuff we were made of.

Shoul tiering our pacts, hikers' fashion, our long file now proceeded by shanks' mare, the old reliable, which has conquered continents since time immemorial and usually wins where an else fails a mode of locomotion devoid of ex traneous artificial aid whatsoever, a method of travel one finds as serviceable paying a visit to the Roman Catacombs of the early Christians way down in the bowek of Mother Earth provided one has a monk with a light for a guide) as on an exploration of the Ten sleep Canyon with its Muddy Pass more than two miles above tide water. Afoot Half an hour's tramp along an upgrade country road brought us to a pasture gate on our left, where we turned in and followed an old obscure wagon track that soon be came a trail leading through i pine and cedar copse and skirting the bank of a brawling orook, fringed and profusely festooned with Ice. The first of several water falls that we met with in the course of the day was passed in a spooky gorge closely shut in by hemlocks Next we scrambled over the high embankment of the Erie freigh line, running hard along the foot of our mountain the passenger line having been discontinued in this valley, probably because tne buses killed its business. And now ws were properly in the forest and VLscending Schunemunk's steep easterly slope by trail, rocky and snow and ice-covered, as were prac. all of our trails, more or less, for tL rest of the day.

Up Taylor Hol low we went, with the brook on our right luring us on, ever farther up and up, to show us where it hailed from a brook with plenty of water and ice, presenting a lively picture in its multiplex curves, cascades and cataracts. By -this tints we felt pretty warm, what with our heavy winter vestments and the frank en deavors of OW Sol to keep us com fortable, for he was not hiding his light under a bushel, thus far. So Jackets and sweaters had to come off. Eventually we crossed the brook where it forms somewhat of pool at the bottom of a liquid stairway (partly crystallized now) and where all hands, or mouths, partook of ditto refreshment sup plied by it. Here our trail left the brook and we ctaanbered up-a series of cliffs, some of which severely tested our acrobatic accomplish ments.

Reverse Face We were now practically upon the summit of the ridge, and, presto never judge the weather on the mountain top by that of the valley Schunemunk-Janus turned the other side of his face toward us His genial disposition had gone with the wind." which suddenly had begun to Wow, the sky had begun to darken and a biting, cold rain to drench us. Sweaters and jackets were quickly put on again. Rain coats of leather as well as rubber. too, made their appearance without undue delay. Luckily, many of us had brought with them these outer garments in anticipation of one of another capital joke of our prank ter mountain.

Some of these coats, alas, forthwith suffered dire damage as between the violent onslaught ol grim Boreas and its gleeful abet ment by our ubiquitous, pestiferous top-of-the-ridge taltalizers, the stunted pitch pines and acrur oaks. especially the latter. These cold blooded conspirators, among other achievements, fact, promptly played hob with what used to be a fine, thin rubber coat of the scribe the wind blowing the garment Into the shrubbery and this, in turn, sim ply clutching it until well shredded. again and again. The Midday Meal We had thought of eating our lunch upon a wide expanse of bar granite which the historian has dubbed "Table Rock," atop of the cliffs aforementioned, and where we hf 1 eaten before.

But that was oir. of the question, because it affords no protection against the incle mencies of the weather, which had become more and :r.cre pronounced we moved onward. Not long after the noon hour, however, we reached the lee of a cliff, well wooded, with a moderately large flat rock affording a suitable base for a much-needed fire, and there -we squatted, many under an inviting overhang of the cliff and the rest upon rocks and prostrate tree trunks roundabout. Soon, and notwithstanding theh pelting rain, we haJ! a lustily blazing fire of dead pitch pine, quid gathered, our spirits rose high and all hands again I should say "mouths" started pitching into the toothsome things disgorged by thirty knap sacks. Thirty-two there were now, to be correct, for Just then two more adventurous IHC members, late comers, loomed large and high in the rain-streaked atmosphere upon the cliff above us and, amid the vo ciferous acclaim of the assembled multitude, were welcomed to our fireside.

Here, too, it might be set down, for', posterity, that now the full tally of participants in this, the four hundred, and third" consecutive Sunday hike of the. IHC (without a single breas) was 27 members and five guests, a total ol 32, of whom 17 must be accredited to the inine and 15 to the masculine denomination. Arvd who will say that woman is the weaker sex? That we had a corking good time at out meridian rehabilitation, rite goes without saying, and there was no desire to curtail its duration. In spite of snow underfoot, and rain overhead our fire made our exist ence quite comfortable. Eating, gos- slpping (of the ladies only, or course), singing, tending the fire and snowballing (yes, that, too) kept us fully and agreeably oc cupied.

Ultimately we were sorry to proceed. Onward. Tramp, tramp, through brush and snow we went, with here and there the pudding-stone crest of old Schunemunk bare of anything but rocks, ideally exposed to his help meet, blustering Boreas, just to make things doubly interesting to the venturesome wayfarer, who must keep wide awake, if he would rather not breaK a leg, more particularly as ambulances have no telephone connection up there or it they had it wouldn't do him any good. No more views, of course, as they were all in the bag of Old Sol, who had knocked off work for the day. Gone were the wide-sweeping vistas of valleys and mountain chains all around on which we had been feasting our optics at other times, when Old Schun and Old Sol had co operated for our benefit, rather than conspired to our detriment.

Eventually we got down from the westerly spur of the mountain, which we had been traversing, in a southerly direction, and into Barton's Swamp, situated between it and the easterly spur. Half a mile farther we turned left (eastward), climbed the eastern ridge, which we found rather hard going over boulders, snow and he, and thus before long were on top again. The steep climb of this eastern spur of the mountain offered numerous frozen miniature Niagaras for our optical delectation. Upon its crest the rain having stopped by" this built an other fire, a big one, of that wonderful dead pitch pine, which fire, made many of us look as though we were working in a foundry. More merry-making.

Here four of our party left us. anxious to get home. But our jovial leader, the boss of the outfit, perman Sturcke, the scribe's nephew, had lots of time, and so we stayed with the fire fcr quite a while. Then a brisk walk northward atop of the ridge, for several miles, and a turn to the right, down into Dark Hollow, with a rushing brook maybe even more fascinating than that of Taylor Hollow, on our way up. And now out to Mountainville, by way of Houghton Farm.

We had made an excursion into the wild that was worthwhile. It was keenly relished, no doubt, by an who took part. The writer was especially pleased to not that it seemed to be greatly enjoyed by one of our guests, a husky, genial ycung sourdough from Alaska, who was a club member for a year or two up to five years ago, when he went to that far-away Northwest on a mining engineering job and whom we hope to entangle In the IHC net again If he remains in the East. Evidently hiking is first-rate sport right here in what we might cH the environs of Paterson. It was too late for us to make train connection at Harriman.

So our greatly prized car owners, in the goodness of their hearts, took us all the way to Suffern, where the clans gathered at a well known refectorium. and whence, after due refreshment, we went our several ways toward home, sweet home, yours truly and a couple of others catching the 7:43 D.m.

Fairly strenuous. From Arden, by zig-ag bee-line, featuring much roughage, past Island Pond to the cliffs above Lake Stahahe, thence through Deep Hollow to Tuxedo.

2 Are Sentenced By Judge Kennedy Several Other Cases Are Heard In Criminal Court Judge Thomas J. Kennedy sen tenced two persons to jail in the Second District Criminal court yesterday. Unable to post $300 bond, Domlnick Lopez of 13 Bergen street, charged with being the father of a child born to Esther Taylor of 58a Main street, was committed to the county Jail. Lopes, ordered to pay $2.50 per week was unable to post bond with Court Clerk William L. CI ax ton to assure weekly payments.

Mary Hendricks, 19. of 21 Hemlock street, was sent to the State Home for Women at Clinton. Investiga tor Esther Kramer of the State Board of Children's Guardians charged the girl with immoral acts with men. Testimony showed that she is to have a baby in several months but she was unable to name the father. Charged with desertion, non-sup port and neglect of minors, the cases of George Pasterchick and Thomas Taylor, whereabouts unknown were referred to the Grand Jury.

The complainants were: Helen Paster-chick, of 241 Highland avenue, Clifton and Esther Taylor of 585 Main street. The latter woman was also the complainant against Lopes who accused of being the father of a child born to the Taylor woman In 1929. A serious charge against Andrew Cosentino of 74 Soring street, made by Marie Acker of 225 Slater street, was dismissed when the court was rotified that thev were married last Friday at noon by Judge Alexander M.

This was supposed to be a secret. but Jackie didn't know It. He said he expected Paramount to start production in July and that 600 prints of the film would be released on Sept.

15, the day he becomes 17. in preparation for his. birthday, Jackie is becoming dignified. He's taken up pipe smoking and he's even sold his super-super flivver, which had red upholstery, nine 'horns, 22 push buttons on the dash, seven headlights, and a device which squirted water on the windshield whenever It became dusty. His Negro butler took this -highway behemoth off his hands and Jackie now rides around in a sedate, maroon-colored coupe.

Young Cooper, who is perhaps the most unspoued of all the Holly wood youngsters, told about his plans and his problems at Monogram studios. There he is acting in "Streets of New York, as a news stand owner under the tracks of the The iron work of this structure was made of pasteboard. painted gray. The elevated railroad crossed a dead end street, lined on either side with pawn shoos, baker- ries, saloons, beauty parlors, and whatnot, all with plate win dows made of gauze.

This fire consisted of lycopodium blazing safely on a tray of sand inside the waste-can. It'll look okay in the picture and the studio won't be taking any chance on burning down its headquarters with a real waste paper fire. Working: with Jackie were half a dozen lads, well worth mentioning, One was 13-year-old Martin Spell- man, who was selling newspapers in front of M-G-M studios a year ago. Director Norman Taurog needed a bov for a part in "Boys Town" and spotted Martin.

He has been acting ever since. The other youngsters in the film compose Jackie's swing band. He plays the traps; they handle the piano, guitar, clarinet, and saxophone. Jackie gets them jobs in all his pictures so he can hold his Dana together. Cooper's orchestra may appear like the sour-sounding plaything of a half-grown boy, but it's far more than that.

He and his bandsmen provided the music for the annual party of the Warner Brothers studios the other night at the Biltmore Bowl, and brought the house down with their swing version of "The Volga Boatman" and many another tune. "We practiced every night for a week, he said. "The neighbors complained, but we figured we had better be good or at least as good as we could." As soon as he finishes his commitments this summer, he will go on the road, taking his band with' him. It's probably the most enthusiastic orchestra extant. A year ago Jackie appeared in a little picture at Monogram entitled "Boy of the Streets." It cost around $60,000 to make and it turned into an outstanding hit.

"I understand it's made half a million dollars already." Jackie said. "And that's fine, except for one thing.

Three firemen were slightly injured when a portion of a burning roof fell.

An investigation failed to reveal the origin or cause of the fire. The dead are: Harold S. Bard, 44. and his wife, Josephine, 40, while the injured include: Fire Chief Stanley Curran and Firemen Allen Greene and Edward Baker, members of the Mountain Lakes Volunteer fire department. The fire appeared to break out in the Bard apartment and quickly spread to other parts of the building fanned by a high wind.

The Mountain Lakes department was compelled to summon help from Parsippany-Troy Hills, Boon ton and Denville.

He's doing all right on regular salary.

He receives more than $3,500 a week, virtually all of which is in vested in bonds in his name. Jackie gets $5 a week spending money, but he's independently wealthy. He should make a nice catch for some girl. "Only I wish people would quit marrying me off without me know lng about it." he said.
