 DOUBLE SCREEN PROGRAM
 OPENING AT STRAND TO-DAY

A Damon and Pythias friendship between two air fighters, which be- gan in the air over the battlefields of Flanders, forms two sides of a triangle and beautiful dancer in disreputable border cantina the re- maining side in Arthur Hoerl's dra- matic Thrill O'Drama of the sky ways. which opens a three day run at Warner Brothers Strand theater to-day as the star attraction of de- luxe double feature bill. The stir ring story of the newest development in air patrol will be shown at the Strand theater starting to-day
 Hoerl's sensational narrative pro- vides an excellent vehicle for Ken meth Harlan, Josephine Dunn and Charles Delaney, who share equal honors in this remarkable story of love, heroism and ultimate sacrifice.
 As the two aviators who take up their patrol duties with youthful vigor and almost fanatic zeal, liar Ian and Delaney are called upon to display their courage and resource fulness as flyers and screen dare devils. Since both are licensed pilots, with many hours of flying to their credit, the stunts which they perform are exciting as well as authentic. 4ts
 Josephine Dunn, the platinum haired beauty who was recently fea- tured in Metro o-Goldwyn-M Mayer pro- auctions, lends her beauty and charm to a role which makes de- mands on her abilities as an emo- tional actress. She gives a splendid portrayal, and proves again that she

WILLIAM HAYNES IN METRO HIT "A TAILOR MADE MAN" OPENS AT WARNER BROS STATE TO-DAY!

High pressure comedy. optimism and dynamic force of youth plus the comedy and romance that go with it these are the key notes of "A Tailor Made Man, Will liam Haines' latest Metro G oldwyn- Mayer hit which the State selected as it's feature picture for the last half of the week, starting to-day.
 "A Tailor Made Man" is some thing new for Haines. He plays a high powered business executive, in story laid amid the whirling wheels of huge commercial ma chine. He solves business prob lems and the story even gives recipe for q cure of business de- pression. A serious note underlies the whimsical comedy and serves as a contrast to the romantic love story and kaleidoscopic glimpses into the whirl of modern commercial life.
 And Haines, though he is as funny as he ever was in any role, has more of chance to do some forceful dramatic acting-so that the audience sees two sides of the screens beloved clown.
 Sam Wood. who did so we'll with Joan Crawfords Paid" did an equally fine job in his direction of the | das.yail new Haines picture; I,s There is 1 uSLtHCSS lO lIIc WOOu II, especially when he deals with a drama of youth. that gives his pro- auctions a distinctive flavor and dash.

 The story has been put on the screen just as it was written by Hecht and McArthur plus a few realistic scences which naturally could not be shown on the legitimate stage. The dialogue, with the ex- ception of a few lines. is exactly of few lines, is exactly as it was written into the play. And the pie ture as whole is every bit as en- tertaining as the stage show.
 Plenty of praise should De gwen to Lewis Milestone for his direction if this picture. Although most of it takes place in one small room, a detriment right at the start for a motion picture, he never allows it to lag for moment. The characters keep moving and the story keeps building.
 Members of the cast, too are ex- ceptionally good. Every one is typi- cal of the character taken from real life which he represents. Pat O.

TWO INDUSTRIES
 CLIMBING OUT
 OF WORST SLUMP
Wooden and W0rsted Busi- ness Is Brighter To-day! Than It Has Been in Many Months
By HENRY MINoTT

(United Press Stan Corresp0ndent) Boston, April 8.-(UP) " The ,woolen mad worsted industry appar- entlysis climbing out" of the worst slump of the current century.
 Cheered by favorable develop mentss of recent weeks. resulting ir increased operations and Timer market, representative manufactur- CTS are looking to- the future with greater confidence than for years.
 That conditions have definitely improved. particularly in New Eng land, is evidenced by an increase of IA per cent in the activity of broad looms during February as compared with the monthly average for 1930.
 Other figures compiled by the Wool Institute, Inc, show gain Of 10 per cent in operations during February over the previous month.
 Broad looms in New England arc being operated at more than 60 per cent of the maximum single shift capacity, an increase of 10 per cent over January.
 Tn tune with the confident note in the manufacturing end are reports from New York during the past week, citing further improvement in buying, especially in the women's wear field. On mems clothing there has been some activity for future de- livery. although the bulk of the de- mand is more immediate.
 Boston, Americas raw wool cen ter, is looking ahead more hopefully because of the firmer price trend. The wool market abroad began to strengthen some six weeks ago and this has been reflected here
 While the pickup in the woolen and worsted industry has not been so pronounced to date as the recov- cry in New England's cotton fine goods field, reports gathered by the United Press show that encouraging progress is being made in this sec tion.
 The American Woolen company, biggest individual unit in the indus try. several weeks ago settled a strike involving about 10000 of it's operatives at Lawrence, where 1t, is reported. the concern expects to op- crate quite steadily. The Arlington Mill, also of that city, employing approximately 4,000, is reported to be doing . fairly good volume of business.
 As a whole, the American Woolen, with plants in various parts of New England, is operating 10 per cent better than aI the cOrreSpoHulHS period of 1880.
 The Perryville woolen Mills in Webster, idle for two years. are scheduled to resume operations be- tween now and April IS.
 Woolen and worsted mills in Rhode Island, generally speaking. arc operating at higher levels than year ago, with steadier employ mont in prospect there and else- where in the industry if present promising developments continue.

Malicious Intent

NeighbOrs Hear Explosion as
Man Hurries Away From
Burning Home

A house owned by Fred Carity on
the west side of the city was fired by
an unknown person at about 3:l5
Tuesday morning and the blaze ex-
tinguished only after considerable
damage to the interior of the struc-
ture. The blaze was the second of a
serious nature suffered, the first re-
sulting from a cleaning fluid explo-
sion.
There is every indication the fire
was set with intentions to destroy
the building. Firemen arriving at
the scene found a five gallon tin
containing strong coal oil fumes on
the front porch. The door was un-
locked with a new SHELTON key still
inserted in the lock.
Neighbors reported loud explo-
sion followed by roaring blaze and
still another explosion after the fire
was well along. Others heard man
running south on Grove street after
the first report of the explosion.
A large section of lath and plaster
was blown from the wall next to the
stairway while the center of the blaze
seemed to be located at this spot. A
strip of mop board Immediately
above the stairway was also loosen
ed. The fire burned away consid-
cradle portion of the walls from the
first floor through to the top OF the
building. Smoke and water also
caused considerable damage to the
walls and ceilings.
Mr.. Carity had recently had the
house remodeled and painted follow
ing the fire of last spring and had
workmen finishing the interior. The
workman in charge of the papering
and painting had locked the place at
Z p. m. after placing his equipment in
the kitchen part of the house where
it was found intact after the fire.
