Since Phantom of the Opera" to Open at State Saturday Warning! If you are easily shocked, suffer from heart ail- ments or are in any way easily upset by eerie things by all means keep away from Warner Brothers State theater Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
 "Frankenstein" packed to the brim with thrills and called by ex- perts the most eerie, blood curd- | ling picture ever to reach the screen, opens a four day engage ment then.
 The extraordinary story of a young scientist who brought hu- man monster to life through weird electrical mechanisms and surgery is based upon the fantastic eighteenth century narrative of the same name written by Mary Shel- ley, wife of the poet.
 Karloff, in his characterization of the man monster, Is reported to wear makeup weighing 4S pounds in itself. Colin Give, of "Journey's s End" fame, was brought expressly from London to enact the scientist, and Dwight Frye, of "Dracula' plays the important Dwarf of the picture. Edward Van Sloan and Frederick Kerr complete the cast.
 James Whale, the famous Eng lishman, directed "Frankenstein," and John Balderston, Garrett Fort and Francis Faragoh prepared the screen adaptation. Arthur Edeson, the well known cinematographer of "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Waterloo Bridge" photographed the picture and Danny Hall, the equally distin- guished artist, designed the un- usual settings of the film.

Statue of Zcus. as conceived by q
 modern artist.
 but most visitors were lost Tn won der as they gazed upon Zeus, king of gods, seated on his throne. They called this work one of the seven Wonders of the World"
 After the Greeks drove the Persians out of their country, they built the temple at Olympia and the famous Phidias turned ivory and gold into a figure of Zeus. The height of the statute was about 6O feet.
 The Statute of Zeus was destroy ed about 1,5O0 years ago, either by the Goths who invaded Greece, or by an earthquake. German scient- ists who visited the spot during modern times found parts of the throne amid the ruins.
 Another of the Seven Wonders was the Tomb of Mausolus.
 The tomb was built of marble and was as high as a modern 12- story office building. It was set up in Asia Minor about 100 years later than the Temple of Zeus at Olym- pia. Mausolus was ruler of Caria, a small province of the Persian empire. When he died, his wife made plans for building the finest tomb ever known. Greek sculptors and architects were invited to come to Caria.
 Before the tomb was finished he wife of Mausolus died, but the sculptors, and other workers kept on with their labors. Many fine statutes, including figures of gal. loping horses, were placed in and around the building.
 Sad to say the tomb was in large part destroyed by Knights of S' John who used the marble blocks for building a Castle of St Peter near the spot in the year 1402. Beautiful statues found amid the ruins may now be seen in the British Museum, London. Our word "mausoleum" arose from the fame of the Tomb of Mausolus.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Stan Corresponds

Moscow.-One old social custom in Russia does not yield to the revolution - the celebration of "namess day" Originally a religi- ous function, 1t has lost it's relig- ious character almost completely and Is observed by atheists no less than by believers. The vast anti God propaganda has scarcely touched it.
 one day it is all the Gregories who are felicitated, diped and wined; another day it Is the Alex andras. The days correspond with the day of the saint of the name, but the saintly aspect of the cus- tom has been almost forgotten. The great day above all others in this connection remains. as 1t
 has been for centuries in Russia, Sept. 30. That Is names day for every Vera Nadezhda, Liubov and Sophia Faith, Hope. Love and Wisdom---all of which are popular
 womens names here. The number of parties dedicated to the occa- sion doubtless run into tens of l thousands. The names day is al- ways more festlvely observed than ordinary birthdays.
 Custom Ranalns
 The last Sept. 90 demonstrated ed how deeply seated she custom re- malns. Because of the grentor sup iDlIes of food available at higher prices, lt was possible this year to celebrate more openly than any

LIONEL BARRYMORE IN
 "GUIITY HANDS,, HELEN TWELVETREES IN "BAD COMPANY" AT NEW GARDEN

Lionel Barrymore is featured as the master killer in Guilty Hands," Bayard Veiller's new mys- tery drama which receives its final screenings at the New Garden to- day.
 In this startling murder thriller Barrymore contributes, in the opinion of this reviewer. the best performance he has ever given upon the screen. His characterize tion of the veteran prosecutor and attorney, facing the necessity of killing man himself, rises far above the dramatic heights of all his earlier efforts. even including his personal triumph in "A Free Soul"

New York. - Information on what Gothamites are chatting about over their teacups and cock tails:
 ART-Mrs Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, devotee of the arts and a sculptress with sufficient fortune to care little about commercial val ues, has presented New York with its most interesting art gallery. Theaddress is No. 10 Eighth street, and since it's going to be perma- nent there's no hurry. And there's a romance attached. Some 20 years ago, Mrs Whitney decided that young and unrecognized tal- ent should have a better break. She took possession of three build ings that had once been proud mansions of earlier days and turned them into the Studio Club" It was for those youngsters who must grope their way through the esthetic mazes and scores of proteges have graduated into rec ognized artists. For the past two years the buildings have been re- modelled, 500 paintings have been installed, together with etchings and sculpings and the museum has become the art event of the year.
 MUSIC-Now that Ethel Legin- ska is back in the limelight as a musical director of consequence, they're recalling the eccentric be- havior of this excellent musician a few years back. In those days she had quaint and disconcerting play the piano in one town and habit of making engagements to turning up somewhere else. Her fadeouts became front page mate rial which sheeventually blamed on nerves. In Europe, however she directed her own orchestra and now, at 37, she finds herself ac- claimed for directing the opera "Boccacio." Since taking up the baton, Leginska has been very happy. No more temperament or mental distress!
 Which reminds me-her name isn't Leginska at all! She had an English name-the good plebian name of Ethel Leggett. and she came from Hull. England. "Legin- ska" apparently, seemed a better performig name than Leggett, and there you are!
 DRAMATIC return of New York's favorites, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Is quite the the atrical tid-bit of the moment. That, and the fact that the tall and lean Robert Sherwood, who has been towering over first night crowds these many years. has written a brilliant piece titled Reunion in Vienna" in which the Lunts ap- pear. Herein, too, Is a bedroom scene from which even the torchy Mae West could learn a thing or two. One of the lessons would re- veal how to put on a fairly scorch- ing act which brings laughter, rather than blushes. Not so easy!
 Don't hurry! It will still be here next spring!
