Warner Brothers State theater full romantic story.
 Running through the graphic portrayal of the life, work and pleasures of metropolitan business girls, is the thread of an intrig- uing love story involving the i've featured players of the cast. The love theme opens with a true-to- life representation of q young wo- mans method of finding a man to take her out without the dampen- ing effect of 6 conventional intro- duction.
 Paul Lukas, famous on the screen for his romantic roles, shares the leading male honors with Charles Buddy Rogers and Stuart Erwin. Lukas has established himself in the screen world in many successes, the most recent being "The Dev- il"s Holiday" "The Vice Squad" "Women Love once" and "The Be- loved Bachelor"
 Charles Buddy" Rogers, also ties into the love episodes of the picture. He recently showed marked aptitude for dramatic roles in the "Rond to Reno" in which he played the part of Peggy Shannon's sweetheart.
 stuart Erwin comes into the love scenes as the ardent adnirer of Judith Wood. He has been playing funny roles for years, gaining prominence in up Pops the Dev- H." and "rhe Magnificent Lie."

gives a gripping performance that augurs well for his screen future.
 While the period of Surrender" is that of 1917 and 1918 and the setting is a desolate prison camp on the icy shores of the Baltic, the war itself is merely an unseen and unheard, but tremendously important, background for the un- usual love between the principals. Out of the bitterness of conflict, the despair of a girl who sees her fiance off to O front from which she instinctively knows he will new CT return, and the baffled hopes and repres8ed emotions of half starved prisoners, Director William K, Howard has woven a brilliant, absorbing and intensely human drama, and one that preserves to a notable degree the power of Pierre Benoits "Axelle," on which 1t is based.
 Thursday Friday and Saturday Fox Poli Palace will offer su-- preme double feature program, the leading feature will be the idol of the radio Seth Parker and his Jonesport neighbors in Way Back Home", the co-feature will be Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in their second long length comedy "The Beau Hunks, as an added holiday feature will be Jackie Cooper Christmas party with twelve great stars.

 During the filming of the pic- ture, whenever either of these youngsters appeared on the set, the eyes of their associates followed their work closely. Ands in between times. they had plenty of admira- ton and attention.

This thrilling event is part of the picture, "Rich Mans Folly" which closes it's local engagement to-day at Warner Bros State theater.
 Dawn O'Day. little beauty and often seen on the screen, takes the part of George Bancroft's daugh- ter at the age of eight years, Act ing a part is not new to this young lady as she already has both screen and stage reputation.
