 At State Saturday

The Warner Brothers State thea ter will present on Saturday Ronald Colman's latest talking picture, said to be in vein new to the star. which bears the title. '"The Devil TO Pay" It is an original screen story and dialogue by the famous English dramatist. Frederick Lons- dale.
 The picture described as a sophis- ticated comedy drama in the mod ern manner, has to do with the life by Ronald Colman, wayward son of wealthy and unsympathetic British peer who. in an effort to make something of his adventurous son, gives him a start in South Ar rica. The story opens with Willie. disgusted with his exile, and long ing for the lights of London. auc- tioning his belongings to obtain money enough for passage home. Never having experienced real love. he decides that he will marry wealthy girl and settle down. 1nde- pendent of his father.

 Next morning he meets his fate falling deeply in love - and with an heiress. played by Loretta Young. Marrying for money, ana marrying one he loves who has money. are viewed by Willie as IT, reconcilable. The dialogue is brlghf' witty and sparkling in the true Lonsdale manner. and the part or Willie was specially written to fit the engaging Colman personality.

AnyhOW, one racket Is down and the other is up and the common belief is that the influence of a col Iegiate element among the headlock- CTS. buffers and flying tacklers may have be enresponsible.
 Gus Sonnenberg, formerly of De- troit and Dartmouth, in part of this element. Everett Marshall a Colo rado collegian, is another. So is Don George, the Michigan graduate, as well as Earl McCready, one-time Oklahoma Aggies student. Son. nenberg, Marshall and George are members of the same rassling syndi- cate, while McCready, so as as l know, is a free lance grappler.
 But this is about Jim McMillan. and McMillan does his rassling for another syndicate. He performs on the Londos- -Shikat- -Holuban Gari- baldi circuit, certified by the New York and Pennsylvania commissions. However, I ask you to overlook that, for he is slated to win the cham pionship from London within very few weeks. A quick victory over Garibaldi here the other night put him in line for the promotion.
 Boy Butter Sonnenberg popular ized the flying tackle but Big Jim copyrighted the trick 10 years ago at the University of Illinois, where McMillan became a rassler by re- quest.

 A football reputation won at Grays Lake, III, prompted McMillan to re- port to Bob Zuppke in 1921. Zup doubted the reputation after one practice, but being 8 kindly sort of a Dutchman, Coach Bob prevailed upon the youth to see Paul Prehn, the wrestling teacher.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
"KISMET" OFFERS PATRONS OF THE STATE A TALKIE THAT IS
 DIFFERENT-OT SKINNER

In reproducing the SplendOrS of eighth century Bagdad on the screen, for the First National talk ing picture version of "kismet' star ring Otis Skinner, playing to-day and tomorrow at the Warner Bros State theater, one of the greatest problems with which the producers had to contend was that of supply ing sufficient servants for the spec tacular court and harem of the Caliph. The servant problem, the oldest that the housewife knows, was made most difficult in this case by the great variety of types required and the numbers which the magni- tude and splendor of the settings re- quired.
 The multitude of court attendants attaches and guards which faithful reproduction of ancient Bagdad de- mands ran well over thousand. This figure includes only servants and soldiers and takes no account of the hundreds of other people used in street scenes. mobs, etc.
 For the outdoor scenes an entire quarter of Bagdad was reproduced authentically from the best existing records, including the shops and bazaars for which this ancient cross- rOaQ or world traQe was noted.
 "Kismet" was adapted from the famous stage success by Edward Knoblock and presents MT Skinner in his first talking picture role. Among those who support him in a stellar cast are Loretta Young, David Manners, Sidney Blackmer, Mary Duncan, Theodor von EltZ, Montagu Love and Edmund Breese. This rep resents a group who have had both stage and screen success, and have more than definitely proven their merit before microphone and foot lights.
 The feature which is shown at 2:30. 4:40, 7:00 and 9:30 is accom- panied by an excellent program in- cluding Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in three reel all-talking comedy 'In Another Mess.'

to before and was quick to see a prospect in the Grays Lake lad. He
 showed him hold or two. fitted him in a pair of black tights and bade
 him go out and rassle for dear old Illinois. Jim went-and shortly re- turned with the Big Ten heavy
 weight crown.
 Football at Illinois may have been free of over-emphasis in the fall of 1922 but the fact remains that it was la popular sport, so McMillan offered himself. The same keen glance from Zuppke which diagnosed his status year before now divined a poten-
 tial All-America guard. There was
 much rejoicing by all hands, in as
 much as hipless halfback in the person of Red Grange also appeared on the scene.
 To make the story only a little longer, McMillan became Star footballer. rassler and captain of the Illini eleven. He introduced foot
 strated body slams to rival half backs. Commencement day found him as constructional engineer eager to span river. tunnel under la mountain or erect skyscraper.
 That was at commencement time. but fall found him back in mole-
 skins with the Chicago Bears and black tights with the professional ra sslers.
 Jim McMillan found the appren- tice rassler's life strenuous. Often he played football in the afternoon and rassled at night. But leaving the apprentice group, he drew with Shikat and tossed Garibaldi. At 27 he still could return to construc- tional engineering-but not with a
 Londos match for the championship just around the corner.

And then was amazed to hear that
She was terribly unhappy. The light
had gone out of her life. This woman
was in love. For 25 years she had had
a lover.
The man was successful banker
with wife in an asylum for the in
sane. So they had been very secret.
And during the long years their secret
love had settled into something steady
and calm.
And then when this woman was so
years old the mans wife died She
was sure he would marry her. But he
married another woman, a young girl
of 20.
That's all I know about it.
At the time 1 saw her in the Office,
so superior, she was in despair. All
that time she was bearing her tragedy
and keeping her face to the world with
courage She had good job which
she liked and money she'd saved up,
but with love gone.
If she had married in the beginning
she would have been a self-satisfied
matron, ruling her house and her chill
dren, and playing bridge She was
respectable person, conservative, one
who loved quiet life, and saved her
money To have a secret love affair
must have been a dreadful defiance Of
every moral idea which she valued.
When the man deserted her she must
have felt it was punishment for her
sins.
I felt so ashamed to think that I
had disliked her.
The sugary manner was the mask
which she used to protect herself.

the more you ate the larger
grew your house? This is just
what happens to the baby of the gall-f1y.
You will find these wonderful little
houses of every shape and color, on
branches of trees, stems of flowers ana
buds of willows, even on roots OF plants.
By their house you will know them.
Every little egg is placed on its partlc-
ular plant and on a certain spot on
that plant. The little grub will then
grow and make the style house all OF
its ancestors have used.
In the Spring the mother wasp, ny,
nudge or aphis flies about seeking her
familys favorite building site. She IN
sertS a tiny, slender egg, which has
very long point at one end, into the
tender plant tissue. Shortly afterward
the little grub will begin To draw upon
the plant for its food This "irritates"
the plant and it begins at once to send
out a vegetable growth in self-defense.
However this serves only to cover the
little intruder the more and to feed him
as we'll.
Then there is the willow cone-gall.
The mother is a gnat, and she places
her eggs in the bud tip of the young
willow. The little grub matches and be-
gins to eat as all little grubS do. The
willow tries to protect itself by folding
the scales of its bud close together.
This makes shingle house for the in
truder and the willow bud stops grow
ing. Soon it looks like short, thick
knob on the tip of stem. There are
other insects which come along and use
this house, too, they help eat the food
but do not occupy the same room.

think the pack has been on long enough
and shampoo the hair
The coppery tone impaired by the
henna pack usually lasts two or three
months. The hair is Shampooed as
usual every two weeks. After the Sec
ond shampoo a vinegar rinse is often
given to strengthen the color. Use a
half-cupful of cider vinegar in a quart
of water If the color happens to be
too strong after the henna pack, it may
be darkened by using a bluing rinse
after the first shampoo.
Henna may also be used in the form
of a rinse to tighten the hair without
making it red. 1 do not recommend it
for haXon or light blonde hair, nor for
hair that contains much gray. 1t is
best for the medium browns, but may
be used to give a livelier CLINT to dark
brown or dull black.
Tie a heaping teaspoonful OF the
dried henna leaves III small cheese

very hot water for five minutes. Squeeze
out the bag and use the rinse while
warm. Shampoo the hair first, Of
course, and rub it with a towel to re-
move most of the moisture before ap-
plying the rinse evenly all over the

as a anal rinse after each shampoo.

Walking Way to Beauty

This wholesome diversion makes its ap-
peal to every young girl.
No apparatus is required. Just pair
of stout walking shoes, lightweight
clothing, skirts short and no restrict
ing bands to interfere with deep BREATH
ing and splendid circulation of the
blood Thus equipped, the club or Sc
lected group of congenial spirits enter
into the sport.
In hiking, pursue deep. purposeful
breathing, not only to aerate the blood
but to floor the entire system with
fresh, pure air, which hastens combus-
ton and elimination of waste.
This is of particular necessity in
young folks who are prone to constipa-
ton Purposeful walking and deep
breathing are a powerful aid in over
coming such a tendency.
Rhythmic walking taking in deep
lungfuls of fresh air with every breath,
stimulates the entire circulatory sys-
tenn, and all the tissues are renewed.
The defects. the awkwardness, the I'M
gainliness alluded to above give way
gradually to a steady gain in health
and beauty.
