WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
ELECTRIFxTNG THRILLER
 "FRANKENSTEIN" CLOSING ENGAGEMENT AT STATE THEATER TONIGHT

Performances this afternoon and evening mark the final presenta- tions of the super thriller. Prank enstein" that has been electrifying patrons of Warner Br0thers' State during the past three days.
 There are many scenes in the film that will both literally. and figuratively prompt you to clutch at your neighbours closest arm as the screen very nearly devours you, but there is one !n particular that the most blase will never be able to resist. The excited young Dr Frankenstein, played brilliantly by Colin Give, and his devilish little dwarf-assistant, Dwight Frye, complete the last surgical opera tion on their homemade man. They dash to their shrieking cleo trical inventions and test the life giving ray <. then. .! But it is entirely too precious to give away! Of course you will see "Frankenstein," and anyone who takes the least bit of thrill away from 1t for you should most cer- tainly be relegated to the base ment.
 Mae Clarke. the talented little actress Wno IS taking the worlds film fans by storm; John Boles of the golden voice, charming man. ner, and excellent acting ability; sagacious-looking Edward van Sloan; and chattering Frederick Kerr and Dwight Frye, have many honors to divide in "Frankenstein" but the screen has never seen any, thing quite like Give and Karloff in their characaterizations. War loff, wearing the most hideously Fascinating makeup in creation, in their extraordinary performances and the brilliant Englishman give you something that you will, in all probability, remember for many day.
 Don't miss this picture for any thing. See 1t this afternoon or to. night. The surrounding program is excellent.

Ritzy parties, dressed up in white spats and silk hats, bathed by valets, served by buffers, snubbed by mOther-in-law-but he finally escapes it all and discovers his true love had been at his elbow all the time, only he hadn't seen that his pal, newspaper sob sis- ter, was the only girl for him.
 The companion feature is Para mounts "The Beloved Bachelor-a story as tender as mothers heart! Lovable Paul Lukas as the compassionate bachelor who adopts a little girl, loses the love of his chivalrous youth, only to find true heart-warmth in his mature bach elorhood; with Dorothy Jordan, Charlie Ruggles, Vivienne Osborne and little Betty Van Allen.

In Hollywood
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-"The Greeks Had Word for Them"
 This title might have been put on almost any picture and 1t would mean just as much as 1t does to the opus to which 1t now is attached.
 There isn't Greek in the pie fure. The title simply applies to three little gold diggers turned loose in a great big city.
 Zoe Akins had a great idea when she wrote the stage play and she must have had a regular brainstorm when she put that title on 1t. But by the time the story and dialogue were altered sufficiently to meet our silly cen- sorship regulations. there wasn't much of Miss Akins' original work left. That happens so often when sensational stage successes are brought to the screen. The very things which made them sue cessful have to be eliminated in order to phase 8 flock of censors who are afraid we might see or hear something we shouldn't.
 Ina Claire, Madge Evans and Joan Blondell portray the trio of gold diggers and the picture simply shows to what lengths they will go in order to get sufficient gold to keep them in the style to

Dorothy Mackaill Scores Greatest
 Triumph in "Safc in Hell," Com 1 ing to State Wednesday.

"Safe in He'll" the First National producting starring Dorothy Mac kaili. which comes to the Warmers State theater tomorrow. offers Dorothy Mackaill another highly dramatic role as Gilda, the more sinned against hero inc, Miss Mackaill fulfills the prom ise first recognized by the theater- going world when she played %Chickie" for First National.
 Sensational in the extreme is the ktory of Safe in He'll" And the direction is by that wizard of the screen, William Wellman, who re- gently gave us "The Public En- emy," Might Nurse" and "The Star Witness" Miss Mackaill is supported by large and able cast including Don Cook, Ralf Harolde, Morgan Wallace, Victor Varconi, Ivan Simpson, John Wray, Nina Mae Mckinney, Gustav von Sey- ffertitz, Cecil Cunningham, Noble Joohnson, George Marion, Jr, and Clarence Muse.
 Miss Mackaill plays the part of Gilda, who is acting as servant in the home of a ribald insurance man, Piet Van Saal, while her lover. Carl Bergen, petty officer of an oil tanker is away on two year voyage. When the wife of Van Saal discovers the attentions her hus- band is forcing on the girl, she is nnceremoniously consigned to the streets.
 Taking refuge in the only house open to her, she is sent by the own CT to an apartment where Van Saal is in waiting. in protecting herself from him, Gilda overturns a lamp as she rushes out, after having felled her assailant. The next day she is informed that Van Saal Is supposed to have been burned to death and that the police are on her trail.
 Carl Bergen returns from his Voyage and when Gilda tells him her plight, he conceals her in the hold of his ship, sails with her to an island in the Caribbean Sea which is inhabited by criminal out casts from all parts of the world. and leaves her promising to call for her on his return voyage.
 Gilda is subjected to indignities From the half-crazed men, and Bruno, keeper of the prison, makes himself most obnoxious. Finding that the girl is deaf to his pleas and threats he places pistol in her room, that he may have her imprisoned. When Gilda's life is at its most hideous, Van Saal puts in an appearance explaining that he had hidden in order to claim his insurance. When he again tries to possess Gilda, she shoots him.
 One of many moving scenes Is that in which an outcast, who at one time had been famous law yer, pleads her cause before the tatterdemalion jury. The last se- quence of Safe in Hell" climb to heights of tragic intensity-and place the role of Gilda among the most superb characterizations of stage or screen.
 Safe in Hell" with its pic- turesque settings, its thrilling sit nations, its strange hodge-podge of personalities, its vivid dialogue. its suspense and its strange power. is Maude Fulton's adaptation of a play by Huston Branch.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-08

which they have accustomed themselves. Miss Claire has the leading role of the girl who will stop at nothing. even to chiseling her own chums if 1t will bring her any financial reward.
 Lowell sherman, who also di- rected the film. and David Man ners enter In as two of the trio's victims. Dave is Q wealthy society youth with whom Madge is in love, but she won't marry him be- cause she doesn't think she Is good enough for him. Sherman Is a famous magician who Is about to take Madge under his wing when Miss Claire steps in and grabs him.
 This film should be a success in the larger cities, but we aren't so sure 1t will appeal to the smaller towns.
 The answer to what a woman should do when her husband becomes involved In an outside affair is found in Husbands Hol- iday." It Is simply that she should wait until friend husband tires of the other woman and comes home. This idea is well presented, but we are afraid 1t is little too sophisticated to have much of a general appeal.
 Individual performances in the picture are excellent, however. Give Brook, as the wandering husband. does as swell job. So does Vivienne Osborne as the wife and Juliette Compton as the other woman. And sure-fire Charles Ruggles is good for just as many laughs as you expect from him.
 No doubt you have heard the story of the little girl who wants wealth. but who places a higher value on her virtue than riches It has been used as a pie ture theme before. Nevertheless. that's the story of Under Eighteen featuring Marian Marsh. Director Archie Mayo turned out a prety good film even though 1t wasn't one to get excited over.
 Miss Marsh has the role of the young girl who would like to go wrong and can't. And Anita Page. as her sister. gives the best performance We have seen from her in a long time.

follows: Trick four should be won With
the ace of clubs in Y's hand and a ioS
club returned. z should trump thn
trick with the queen of spades ,ahd
lead a low spade, thus winning the
trick in Y's hand with nine Of spades.
Y should then lead the third club and
z should trump with the king Of Spades
and lead another lo@ spade, winning
the trick in US hand with the fen Of
spades. Y should now lead the fourth
club and z should trump with the ace
Of spades. On the next lead Of spades
Y wins the trick with the Jack and al
of the opposing trumps are now ex.
hausted. Y's remaining club is now
good and, when led, allows z to discard
the jack of hearts. Played in this way,
Y Z must win game and rubber. Study
the play of this hand very carefully for
it is a good illustration of establishing
