Some results of linear adiabatic and nonlinear pulsation models of fir
st overtone mode Cepheids are discussed. New and augmented opacities a
nd a nonstandard mass-luminosity relation have been taken into account
. The models indicate the possible importance of the resonance P1/P4 =
2 near P1 = 3 days. The resonance could explain the observed characte
ristics of the light curve shape of first overtone mode Cepheids.
