WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
WALLACE BEERY IN GREATEST HIT THE SECRET SIX" TO

OfLN LOsV1OEhnOW hl "A A1I
 Life in the raw; 8 smashing ex- pose of city politics and the machin- ations of the underworld, filmed with a realism based upon actual happenings in American cities, these make up the backbone of "The Se- cret Six" Metro-Goldwyn-Ma Mayors remarkable drama of American city life opening a three day engagement to morrow at the State theater.
 The picture exposes political cor ruption and the rise of the under- world. and shows their basic causes. It brings historic gang leaders before the audience as liv- ing. breathing human entities. It shows them killing. double-crossing each other. ''muscling fn' to stifle business, and reaching evil tentacles into the machinery of the law. Its amazing climax suggests remedy.
 Wallace Beery, hero of "The Big House. plays the central role as the sinister Scorpio. overlord of the world of vice. Lewis Stone as Newton, the corrupt lawyer .guid- ing the minions of the underworld, Marjorie Rambeau as the dramatic but ill-starred "gun moll," John Mack Brown and Clark Gable as the reporters WHO Dlt tHcHiSCANSo against the hordes of the lawless, and Jean Harlow. blonde heroine of "Hell's Angels" who has the chief romantic role. are superbly cast.
 George Hill, of "The Big House" and Min and Bill" fame. directed the huge drama with the same in- sight and skill which character fZed the former hits.
 There are many dramatic high lights-the fight with the vigilantes, the heart-gripping climax in Con demned Row." the election and sits crooked manipulation, the gang war in the speakeasy.

BY WM. l.. MCKINNEY American Bridge League

The Vienna coup is the greatest of all squeeze plays and the hardest play to recognize in bridge. The principal of the Vienna coup is as follows.
 One hand is lacking of re-entries excepting trump entries which must be used in order to promote the squeeze. The opposite hand. gen. erally the dummy. has a long suit In order to successfully work the Vienna coup, the long suit must be stopped by one of the opponents and in addition, this same oppo- nent must hold the missing king Before starting the squeeze. the de- clarer must pull the ace in dummy deliberately setting up the king, which, of course. is always on the right side. in order that discards may be made on the trump suit conserving the long suit in dummy
 Do not attempt to follow today's hand by merely reading the article Lay out the cards and see if you can make four odd at spades double dummy. then follow the party as We give it by actually playing the cards.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S LAUGH
 PACKED "CITY LIGHTS" TO
 CLOSE AT STATE TONIGHT

"City Lights" Charlie Chaplin's supreme screen production that has been attracting and delighting ca pacity houses at Warner Brothers State theater the past three days, closes its engagement tonight.
 "City Lights" Chaplin himself describes as romantic comedy in pantomime. To the public. he is the same tragic little tramp with the typical Chaplin appeal and he is the same uproarious comic whose gags seem to be without equal in the world of the cinema. Always an individualist, Chaplin has made "City Lights" without the sound of a single human voice, though sound is used with striking effect.
 "City Lights" opens with typical comedy scene in which Chaplin is found sleeping in the arms of a statue when 1t Is unveiled. The speakers addressing the crowd are mimicked by squawking orchestra tion, perfectly synchronized with the lip movements of the takers.
 Romance comes into Charlie's life when he meets blind flower girl, who hearing a limousine door close, thinks he has just left his car. Sensing the situation, Chaplin allows the deception to exist by parting with his last dime for a flower.
 The masquerade goes on. The girl knows Chaplin only by touch. When she becomes i'll he goes to work as a street cleaner. tries boxing in which the referee becomes the los CT, becomes a home companion to an eccentric millionaire through whose bounty he raises money so the girl can undergo an eye opera tion.
 Virginia Cherill, newcomer, who plays the blind girl, gives a remarkably we'll poised and con- vincing performance. Hary Myers is superb as the tipping Croesus.
 An excellent program of short subjects accompanies this splendid feature presentation.
