CIIARLIE RUGGLES A RIOT IN THE FARCE COMEDY
 "CHARLIES AUNT'' NOW
 PLAYING AT THE STATE

"Charlcv's Aunt, farce of Oxford University life, produced by Christie, is proving supreme laugh-hit at the Warner Bros State theater. It has been acclaimed by press and public wh erever it has played. The reason for the enthusiastic accept ance of this farce Is that 1t Is long succession of laughs. Four hundred and twenty-two sure fire laughs have been counted. The simple. hearty fun that follows on the wild stu dents trick of turning chum into an old lady so that their sweet hearts should be encouraged to visit them under protection" convules audiences everywhere.
 Great care was lavished In bring ing this play by Brandon Thomas to the screen. The role in itself was such rot that the most out standing comedian on the screen today had to be chosen for its por- trayal It is none other than Char lie Rug2les, who Is In a class by himself so far as sophisticated comic portrayals are concerned. It is a difficult role indeed, and required unusual ability. It Is the first time that a female impersonation was to be played on the talking screen. -
 But Charlie Ruggles, is peculiarly adapted 10 the delineation of diffic- cult title roles. He Is q veteran star of musical comedy and was out standing in such memorable vehicles a, Rolling Stones," wizard of o."

sible to slip it under a cake in the pan to remove 1t without breaking. It also is convenient to run around and under the contents of mold.
 When baking cookies, the spatu!a will be used to remove them from the molding broad and again to re- move them from the baking sheet. A light, fluffy cake frosting Is spread with the spatula and the last trace of the frosting is removed from the platter or mixing bowl with the same tool. A spatula will save many times it's cost just by being the means of using every bit of batter, frosting, pudding, omelet or anything that must be mixed in a bowl.
 A sharp, thin-bladed knife for cutting bread and cakes should be kept for these purposes only. This knife should not be put with other kitchen knives and forks but placed where it will not be nicked or rubbed to dull it's edge.
 With reasonable care, good knives will last for years and add much to the pleasure of cooking.

for Lloyd is one producer-star who knows the public taste for fun and knows how to appease that appe- tite.
 True, he produces only about one picture year-but therein may rest his sagacity. That one picture never falls short of the "wow" class.
 MT Lloyd is to be congratulated for having chosen again Barbara Kent as his leading woman. Her work in Feet First justihes the first impressions of her debut pie turc, "Welcome Danger"
 The rest of the supporting cast Is competent.
 The companion feature is "One Mad Kiss' with Don Jose Mojica the brilliant young tenor of the Chi cago Opera company. Also on the bill is Ruth Fitting, supported by ohman and Arden in a vaudeville skit.

vibrant tones had answered. Did you ever go to Bible school, Nancy? I used to-. every Sunday. And there were some verses we used to say. Love suffereth long and Is kind, hopeth all things. endureth all things, believeth all things .. Oh, I cant quote it the way that 1t goes, but something of that sort. And 1t said that love never fails! so Sue and Jack will stick to each other. Nancy!"
 I don't know much about the Bible" Nancy's throaty drawl had replied. "I seem to remember heaven as painted Sunday school card where God sat on a golden throne and let his blue robe trail across the sky. But he stood for jus tice! And if there is something real between Sue and Jack it will stay Nothing real passes away
 "If it stays, and neither of them know it, what good will 1t do?' Corrinne asked.
 Sue turned back to Jack, and her eyes were pansy purple in the fire lighted shadows, and her lips were tender.
 Jack, you'll believe me, won't you, when 1 say that l love you more than anything. .or anyone. Tn the world? More than my mother or father? And I could give up the world for you? There are some girls who can make play for love and guess along and throw out promises and keep one now and then and break the rest. But I'm not the way. Love is . or 1t isn't.
 But Jack, I can't ask you to stay now. I'm too much upset"
 "Oh, my dear!" Crushed against the tweed of his coat, with the pun gent fragrance of shaving soap and an old priar pipe in her nostrils, Sue tried to finish and couldn't.
 AS q lawyer you'd be flop. You state q case and then give all the reasons to prove why it isn't so. If you think I'm walking out of this particular picture now or at any time, you're making a detour that won't get you any place. Being inside the house too much, has gone to your head. Cone on, there's a spring moon tonight. Let us get some air" As Sue dusted a cotton powder ball across her flushed cheeks, n minute later. she had a sense that something would happen before she came back that night.

Did she still consider herself engaged to Ralph, in spite of the fact that young Hammond had gal lantly insisted upon releasing her from her promise as soon as he suspected that it had been given merely to prove her faith in his innocence?
 It was q decidedly unhappy young detective whom Sanderson greeted upon his arrival at nine o'clock.
 The new district attorney. who had held office since November, was q big. good natured, tolerant man. who looked younger than his 35 years Lecause of his frcckles and his always rumpled mop of sandy hair. But those who sought to take advantage of his good nature in the courtroom found themselves up against as keen q lawyer and prose- cutor as could be found in the whole state, or even in the middle west
 Well, boy." he greeted Dundee ecniallv but with an undcrtonc of solcmnity. Looks like we've got a sensational murder on our hands. ltS not every day Hamilton can rate a headline like BROADWAY to quote a Chicago paper. But I'm afraid there's not enough mystery in it to suit your tastes"
 Dundee grinned wryly. "IVe been pretty down in the mouth all morn ing because there's q little too much mystery. chIef,'
 
 "Fairly opcn-and-ahut, isn't it?" Sanderson asked, obviously sur priscd. New York gets too hot for this Sclim probably mixed up with some racketeer. Lois Dun lap offers her a job to organize q the fair Nita Wolld certainly have described IS q hick town and which she wouldn't have been found dead in if she could have helped it"-- and the district attorney gTinned at his own WitticlSm-"but Broadway Nita jumps at il.

Lois Dunlap is the finest woman in Hamilton, but shes too damned promiScuous in her friendships. As 1t is now, some of the best friends have in the world are mixed up in this mess. even if it is only as innocent victims of circumstance"

phere smacks of grim reality.
 In his search for authentic gang ster material, Burnett met and fra ternized with some of the most im- portant figures in the racketeering world. Many who have seen "L:t- tie Caescr" claim to recognize we'll known gangsters in the characters.
 Burnett claims that some of the characters are real. some are en- 'tirely fictitious, while others repre- gent a composite of several indivi- duals.
 Edward c. Robinson plays the leading role, the part of Rico, "Lit- tie Caesar" and is ably supported by Doug. Fairbanks, Jr., Glenda Farrell. William Collier. Jr., Sidney BIackmer, Ralph Ince and others In cast that really deserves to be called all-star.

his bag. which I believed also con- tained the gun until he had n chance to dispose of it on his way to his hotel into Hamilton"
 Dundee shook his head. "I'd like to agree, chief, but believe Lydia is telling the truth. She says she was in the upstairs bedroom with Sprague and remained behind only two or three minutes at most, to put his shaving kit into the packed bag, and to clean up the bathroom basin. On her way down the backstairs she says she heard Lois Dunlap's second ring and went to answer it. Sprague and Janet Raymond, with whom Janet says he stopped to talk minute on the front porch. were In the dining room before Lydia entered 1t.
 I'm convinced Lydia hates Sprague and would be glad to be- lieve him guilty /. No. MT Sanderson, I don't believe Sprague Sprague's revenge that Nita was afraid of when she made her will Friday night. Naturally she fig ured she'd have time to tell the person she was blackmailing that she was through with him--or her, but I believe Sprague and Nita were lovers. even partners in blackmail, and that she feared he would kill her when he knew she was going to marry Ralph Hammond and give up their source of income"
 Sanderson considered for a long minute. pulling at his full lower lip. "Well. thank God for those precious footprints Strawn is building on! Don't think I fail to follow your reasoning that the crime must have been committed in the bedroom. and not from the window sill. but, those footprints may save us yet. and will certainly get us through the inquest. You agree, of course, that none of all this you've told me must even be hinted at the inquest? Good! Let's be going. It's nearly 10 now"

 Ankles aren't q novelty now, but they haven't stopped being an at traction.
 So If you want to step along in grace and charm, exercise until you have the perfection you desire, and then keep on, in order to retain II. The five suggested exercises should be performed ten times every morn ing and night. at first, gradually be- ing increased until you can do them one hundred times. Standing erect, with limbs together, and arms eX- tended forward, separate the arms sidewise, and inhale through the nose. As you bring the arms back to your first position exhale through the mouth.
 Now stand erect, hands at side and hands on the back of chair. squat to a sitting position, keeping your back straight
 Now stand erect, hands at sire. and raise on toes, lifting your arms above your head, inhaIing while you raise and exhaling while you return to your first position.
 Erect once more, put your limbs together, your hands on your hips. and raise first your right, and then your left leg, sidewise, up and down
 The next exercise requires the erect position with limbs together again. Standing in one spot, kick back tward as far as possible with the heels as though running.
 Two mat exercises. which require recumbent position. are also in- cluded. In the first one, bring your knees up to your chest, then lower to the first position.
 When that has been done the re- quired number of times, bring limbs up to the chest, and perform q com plete circle alternating first your right, and then your left leg. as though you were riding a bicycle.
