1.-THE GUILTY GENERATION" NOW AT WARMERS STATE,
 GIVES THRILL TO PATRONS

How children suffer for the sins of their parents-how family ties make young innocents guilty--is the theme. of the Columbia pic ture, The Guilty Generation" which opened yesterday at the Warner Bros. State.
 It is a thrilling tale told in a forceful manner and supcrbly act- ed by cast headed by Leo Car rillo. Constance Cummings and Robert, Young are the two young people who almost come to disas. ter, not because of their own evil doings, but because they are theIr parents children. Their near tragic love affair will arouse your sympathy to the point that will bring a lump into your throat and tears to your eyes.
 Briefly, 1t tells a story of two families. The fathers are engaged in a feud over supremacy in q racket. Their practices in attempt ing to secure control are anything but ethical, As result, their fam ilies live in a constant reign of terror. Their life is unbearable. When the son of one family falls In love with the daughter of the other, the situation becomes cru cial and the consequences involve those concerned in a really vital drama.
 Leo Carrillo is the motivating force behind 1t all. He Is an actor! He even puts artistry into the flick ing of cigar ashes. You will en- joy every minute he is on the screen--and that Is practically the whole picture. Emma Dunn in a character role contributes an out standing screen portrayal. Con- stance Cummings, Robert Young, Boris Karoff, Leslie Fenton and Ruth Warren are others who give capable performances.
 The surrounding program is ex- cellent.

George Bancroft in His Best
 Yet; "Rich Mans Folly" <,x...t.,., C.. vxya ,.vxn,. CAaer Cafurd

Coming to Warner State Saturday
 What good is money after all, unless 1t brings happiness?
 For what purpose the accumu- lation of wealth by economies and n whip-lashed will to work, if friendships are lost and love is stified and repelled?
 Why should ambition" ride roughshod and paint golden castles on a distant horizon, when only TO- nance and love will ever fill such domiciles with thoughtful friends and loving children?
 Tn the picture drama "Rich Mans Folly, opening at Warner Bros State Saturday, these pertin- ent questions are the theme of a story of intriguing interest. They are the basis of dramatic episodes that crowd the action of a marvel ous picture drama. George Ban- croft has the stellar role of Brock Trumbull," an ambitious, money grabbing ship builder who stffies all his gentler qualities for money and a mad ambition.
 This is just the kind of work in which Bancroft excels, character irnpersonation. He lives the part. A hard listed, domineering man Is the screen. Success follows suc- cess. Wealth piles up. But the tide turns. Friends desert and his fam fly is estranged. Money dwindles and his new wife leaves. He faces failure. Then at last the folly Of 1t all comes to him. He reaches out to his daughter, whom he never loved and always opposed, groping, longing for the love and happiness he had always spurned. but which he now realizes is the only thing that makes life worth while.
 To fully interpret such a role re- auires expereince, talent tech Ejoue. Bancroft stretches himself and puts everything he has into the role. dents: the clash and clang of a great ship p-building plant with It's thousands of workers. It is great industrial epic in which photo graphy as well as the players has an important role. In the cast are many screen favorites whom pie ture fans always like to see, lnclud- ing Frances Dee, David Durand and the late Robert Ames.

more. In some instances modern youth" has been the victim of sem ntional, tawdry and unconvincing exploitation cn the screen. A gold
 mine of the best sort of film enter tainment, 1t has somehow arrived in celluloid cheapened-but not in Are These Our ChildrenY Perhaps large part of the pie ture's utter veracity and high dra- matic quality ig to be credited to Wesley Rugg1es, the director, who leaped to new fame a litie over q year ago by putting similar Qual- tiles into his epic of western em- pire building, "Cimarron." Much of the sheer power and impression of utter realism borne by the out door picture is found in the mod
 ern film of youngsters who are at
 doorway of life, gampling it's sweets and evils.
 "Are These our Children 2" has q
 relatively uninvolved plot which deals with the arrival of young
 Linden at the critical stage of his life at which he must choose a.
 path for right or wrong. His youth
 leads him into the wrong path, and from there on the story never halts
 its tense stride toward startling climax.
 The picture Is one for people of all ages to see, and 1t forms one of
 the greatest, most realistic and powerful pieces of screen enter
 tainment the year has produced. The co-feature will be ''The
 False Madonna" with Kay Francis
 and William Boyd.
 Kay Francis attains new distinc- ton in The False Madonna"-for 1t is the first Paramount picture in
 which she plays the title role. As the central figure in this in-
 tensely interesting romance drama
 she is given the greatest opportun-
 ity In her career to add distin-
 guished portrayal to the notewor-
 thy list which includes Street of Chance" Gentlemen of the Press", "1llusion," "The Cocoanuts," "Be- hind the Makeup" Dangerous Curves, "'Let's Go Native" "The Virtuous sin," "24 Hours," and "Girls About Town"
