LOUIS WOIlHEIM AND JOHN
 GILBERT IN "GENTLEMAN'S FATE" PLEASES STATE PATRONS

From the opulence of a Broadway pent house to Jersey Citl rum dive is the descent John Gilbert makes in his new talkie, "Gentleman's Fate," and with remarkable roman tic appeal withal.
 Ursula Parrott, who supplied Nor man Shearer with her triumphant "Divorcee." has also done right by Gilbert in this splendid story by gangsters (nothing at all of Chicago) and of love that wouldn't down even when washed away by a synthe- tic romance and marriage.
 We can't compare this fine Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which is playing today anl tomorrow at War ner Bros State theater. with anything Gilbert has done before. It is an en- tirely new Gilbert, a very charming one who will disappoint none who want to see him romantic, who want to see him rought, who want to see him gay, who want to see him dra- natic, who want him to be--well, just John Gilbert. He packs a wall lop of surprises in this new film.
 The plot is motivated mainly by two girls. One, society girl, play ed by Leila Hyams, he really loves and wants to marry. The other is an underworld plaything, Anita Page. He marries her when his other love becomes impossible to realize. The marriage Is amere mockery to like his little gangster bride. But it is a pathetic little family and Gill; bert's gallant defense of it costs him his life. even though on hih dying bed he laughs to think of the very absurdity of 1t.

"FesurrcctiOn'' With John BoIes
 and Lupc Velcz, Drawing Big
 Houses at Warner Bros. Strand

Nearing the completion of its en- gagement at the Warner Bros. Strand theater. Resurrection" is drawing large audiences daily.
 This stirring blood drama of the great Tolstoy's im- mortal story is gripping new thous- ands every day for the talking pie ture version which Edwin Carewe has so capably directed for Universal Pictures adds uncanny realism to the vivid action.
 The Tolstoy epic of prince and peasant which has been published in almost every language is a throb- ping, emotional narrative splendidly portrayed by John Boles and Lupe Velez in the principal roles.
 Boles has never been given a finer screen performance than he does in the role of Prince Dmitri. His golden voice is also given broad expression in several dramatic cpl sodes with the little peasant maid. Katusha Maslova, played exquisitely by Lupe Velez.
 Critics have openly agreed that in Resurrection" this fiery Latin star demonstrates rare understand ing of deep drama for the first time in a screen role. and proves herself a great dramatic actress.
 The story has been faithfully pro- duced and nothing has been spared that could add to its magnificence and realism.
 Director Carewe has fulfilled his promise to preserve the spirit of Tolstoy's work to the final chapter which keeps the audience in sus-

WILLIE" SENSATION OF THE CENTURY TO OPEN FOUR DAY
 RUN AT STATE SATURDAY

Radio Picture "Millie," opening Saturday at Warner Bros State theater, marks the desertion of gangdom by its author Donald Hem derson Clarke, in favor of love stories.
 With fame attained to the tune of machine guns, racketeers, pistols and crook lingo. Clarke has turned out Q story striking note far from the usual tone of his writings. That his efforts in this new role are a success is assured by the tremendous sales of his first novel of this type. "Mi1lie." Clarke's predecessors to "Millie' were 'In the Reign of Rothstein' and Louis Beretti."
 "Millie" is rather a startling story of the right girl who met the wrong men. She is fiery-haired village girl who marries rich New Yorker for love. Her love vanishes after two years of married life. With bit- terness in her heart she sets out to treat men as they have treated her and highly dramatic story results as she wins one man after another just to add to her string of con- quests.
 Helen Twelvetrees plays the lead- ing role with a supporting cast in- cluding Lilyan Tashman, Robert Ames, Joan Blondell, John Halliday and James Hall.

 Nearly the Same
 ently have added less strength than their rivals Except for Pitchers Dean and Kaufmann and a rookie understudy for First Baseman Jim Bottomley the Cards present the same front as in 1890. The Giants are depending chiefly upon rockies and unless Vergez proves good enough to take third base and re- lease Fred Lindstrom for outfield work McGraw can hope for little improvement.
 Acquisition of outfielder Lefty O'Doul and Second Baseman Fresco Thompson has plugged the only weak spots in Brooklyn's lineup and gives Manager Robinson a team of cham pionship calibre. The Pittsburgh Pirates have rounded out great club through the addition of Short stop Thevenow, Second Baseman Regan and Pitcher Willoughby and are certain to be serious contender.
 Cubs Stronger
 Weak pitching and the absence of Rogers Hornsby in 1880 cost the Cubs many more than the two games which separated them from the Cardinals and prevented them from winning a second successive pennant. With Hornsby back in the lineup, the addition of the veteran pitchers. Bob Smith, Les Sweetland and Jaxie May and several promis- ing rockies the Cubs have excellent prospects of regaining their lost laurels.

Finn and Hattie Abroad" has to do with the mis-adventures of pair of small towners who decide to burn the bridges of their home town be- hind them, take the ocean grey hound for Paris, drag along a pair of mischievous kids to keep the whole ship in an uproar, and then the fun begins.

Even football has begun to feel the pressure of this ssecon- Omic readjustment." There are seats for 55,OOO i'm the new Notre Dame stadium but at least 15,00O of these were vacant in the Navy game.

In order to win a second success sive pennant, the Cards not. only must deefat four formidable oppo- nents Brooklyn, Chicago. Pitts burgh and New York = but they must overcome league traditions against champions repeating; against St Louis winning in an "odd" year; and against the New York Giants going more than six years without a pennant.
 A Little Tradition
 No National League team has won two successive pennants since the Giants were dethroned in 1925. Pitts burgh took the flag in 1925 and 1927 and Chicago in 1929. with St Louis winning in the "even" years. 1926, 1928 and 1880. St Louis never has topped the league in an todd" year and to do so this season the Cards must shatter another long standing record that of the Giants who in more than quarter century under John McGraw have played in the World series at least once every sev- en years.
 Street has little respect for the traditions. but admits that the strong opposition to be encountered makes the 1881 race a free-for-all. Four clubs, Chicago, New Y0rk, BrooKlyn and Pittsburgh, finished the 1880 campaign close on the heels of the Cardinals and but for injuries any one of the contenders might have been champion.
 All the runners-up have repaired the weak links of their 1880 ma- chimes and the 1881 campaign prom ises another hectic fight for honors. The five teams appear so evenly matched that for the first time in baseball history, winter book pro- prietors have refused to nominate a favorite. Current odds make the Cards, Cubs and Robins joint fav-
