LIONEL BARRYMORE AND
 ELTSSA IlANDI IN THE VEIL LOW TICKET" AND A CO.,
 FEATURE AT FOX-POLI PAIL

Roasting a brilliant cast of favor ties, headed by Elissa Landi, Lionel Barrymore and Laurence Olivier, tensely gripping and romantic story and some of the most lavish sets that have been flashed upon the screen in many day, Raoui Walsh's Fox romantic drama, The Yellow Ticket" opened its engage. ment last night at the Fox-Poh Palace theater and judging by the enthusiastic applause 1t caused. the film is everything advance reports from Hollywood said it is.
 The dramatic plot, which was adapted for the screen from Mi- chael Morton's stage play by Jules Furthman and Guy Bolton, evolves about a young and sensitive Rus- sian girl, who through circum- stances beyond her control finds IL necessary to match her wits against those of the insidious head of the czar's secret police, with her own romance and the safety of her lover at the stakes of the struggle. Tn the end she is forced to kill the re- lentless menace, only to be then faced with graver problems that lead to most startling denoue- ment. @F1,.
 The role of the girl is enacted by Miss Landi and is one that giVes full play to her histrionic talents and during her emotional scenes she rises to heights of dramatic power seldom seen and heard on the screen. Lionel Barrymore aP- pears as the cruel and scnemlns police head and as usual MT Barry more gives @ performance that ID nothing short of superb. Laurence Olivier, who only recently came to the screen from the London ano Broadway stage Is excellent Tn 'pe romantic male lead.
 Other favorites in the cast who are deserving of much credis s mle Walter Byron, Rita LaRoy' Saaan aahn Padden, Arnold Korf, Mlscna Auer. Edwin Maxwell and Boris
 "The Yellow Ticket" marks the return of Raoul Walsh to the dra- matic media and his direction oi 1t is perfect in every way.

RICHARD. DIX AND SHIRLEY
 GREY, FORMER NAUGY GIRL, CLOSING AT STATE IN "SE-

GREET SERVICE"
 Performances this afternoon and evening mark the final presenta- ton of Secret Service," based on the famous play by William Gill lette, now at Warner. Brothers State theater and starring Richard Dix.
 The film is a decidedly different characterization for the star of "Cimarron" who already has estab- lished himself as a leading DOT trayer of virile roles. He is seen as a masterly man who rules his own destiny in the face of danger, and about whom revoives a sharp ly contrasting note of romance. From an entertainment point or view, Secret Service'' Is said to rank at the forefront of current productions. This is because 1t weaves into a stern setting of war and a constant presentiment of danger, @ stirring crisis in the lives of a Union spy and Southern belle. ,, There have been many spy stories. but this latest Dix vehicle shows an unusual understanding and sympathy for the .shadowed men" who stand ready to sacrifice their lives and their sense of honor in the espionage service.
 .. Besides Dix. who portrays the Union spy. Shirley Grey. former Naugntuck girl. is cast as the Sou thern belle. The, cast includes Ga- win Gordon, William Post Jr, Clar- ence Muse, Carl Gerard, Nance O'Neil, Eugene Jackson. Frederick Burton and Florence Lake. The l surrounding program is also inter- esting.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
By EUGENE LYONS

 Moscow, (UP)-Its long ordeal of expressions, war, civil strife and semi has made this country peculiarly sensitive to changes in political weather. The optimism which has spread through large sections may prove as well-founded as the panic which spread with the approach of last winter.
 In his special speech in. June, Joseph Stalin restored the individ- upal man and woman to a sense of personal ambition and personal re- sponsibility. The economic aspects of this speech have been enlarged upon by everyone who has written about the Soviet recently. Earn ings have been differentiated; the more capable have been given room for expansion; economic or ganizations and leaders have been allowed more scope.
 But the more subtle psycbologi- cal effects have been almost un- noticed. Yet they are chiefly re- sponsible for the more optimistic state of mind here. Millions o1 persons who felt it the part not only of duty, but of ordinary safe ty to lose themselves in the mass are beginning to emerge from their collectivist hiding places Those who earn more are begin. ming to be less afraid and less ashamed to dress better, live bet ter and spend. more publicly.
 New Restaurants
 Scores of new restaurants and e.. L l. Moscow, Leningrad and other UT. ban centers. They are clean, at- tractive and offer comparatively good food, drinks, sometimes even music and dancing. A year ago few Russians, who could afford tc go to such places, would have dared to do so. They would moi have risked drawing attention tc their relative opulence and incur. ring popular, or official suspicion To-day these places are crowded. In a word, within the limits ot state-owned and state-run indus try it has suddenly become re. spectable again to be richer" than your neighbor. Indeed, the posi-. tion of those with a higher earn. | ing power is far better than that l OL tHc pEtFdtO tiduCAS uh0Ci LIN

Whatever il be labelled, whether state social ism or state capitalism, it hal eliminated the private capitalist and thereby the possibility of size- able fortunes. The range of differ ences in financial status is very small.
 Yet differences there are. The official policy just now is to en- courage them where previously il would have suppressed them. New wage schedules being introduced carry the piece-work system even further than under capitalism. The difference in incomes between good
 workers and poor ones will be even

A mouse is likely to live about six years = unless cat comes along at the right moment.
 Cats have lives of every different lengths. Some die in five or Six years, but others reach the age of 20 years.
 The foxy fox may live to be 15 years old. Hogs have reached the grand old age of 20 years, but the farmer is likely to send them to market long before they get that far along.
 Horses often live to be 25 years old, and hive been known to live 40 years.
 The average age of bears is be- lieved to be about 20 years. our smart little river friends, the beavers, have been known to pass the half century mark. Elks live equally as long as beavers.
 Among large jungle beasts the lion and the elephant appear to have the longest lives. The aver age life span of the rhino, and of the hippo as well, is believed to be about 20 years.
 Lions sometimes live beyond the age of 40 years. Ons old record declares that lion was kept in the Tower of London from the year 170O to the year TITO. If that Is true, the lion must have been at least 70 years old at time of death.
 Elephants live much longer than lions. Many of the big beasts spend more than 80 years on earth, ana in at least a few cases they have passed the century mark. Ex- treme claims have been made of elephants living from 150 to 200 years.
 Of all animals on earth, the tortoise - or land turtle---seems to reach the oldest age. Because tortolses have been kept sas gar den pets' for centuries past, 1t has ben possible 10 follow the courses of their lives. one tortoise which died in England in 17b3 had been m a certain garden 12S years. and had lived m unknown number of years elsewhere before being taken there.

New York.--In recent weeks I have received a number of letters asking such questions as: s'What are the outstanding attractions in New York at the moment 2" s'What events in music, the theater and the arts are people talking about ?'' What outstanding topics merit the importance of discussion at a wo- mans club?
 So herewith shall try to sum- marize the most discussed head liners in various fields: p
 Opera-"Schwanda," the Metro politan's annual novelty and the best "Coq dor" First presented in Prague, adapted to the German and presented at the Met in that tongue. Has been presented in 12O European theaters, and is a color full fantasy. The music is lighter than most Met events present: has fine humor and is imaginatively staged by Joseph Urban; in lyric and modern. A definite innovation. The second feature will be "Woz- zek," the ultra-modern opera given in Philadelphia last year by Leo pold Stokowski.
 Art-They're talking most about Ia young Frenchman named Marcel Mouillet. Joseph Drummer, of the Drummer Galleries, noticed his work in Paris last summer and brought over a show, made up largely of brilliantly colorful paint ings executed in the Egyptian desert. Mouillet, born of trades people, came out of the war badly gassed and started painting. A small gallery owner in Paris took him as protege. But no money was forthcoming, so Mouillet ship ped on freighter which went on a reef in the Indian ocean. He painted on several islands and then went to live in Egyptian villages.
 stagecraft-Norman-B Bel Geddes' magician-like lighting of Hamlet" and his costuming of the charac. ters. Robert Edmund Jones' blending of classic Greek and New England in Mourning Becomes Electra" Many of Henry Dreyfuss' designs in "The Cat and the Fiddle"
 
 chiefly the large number of per- formers hitherto unknown to Broadway who have given thrilling performances. And among these, a number of Britishers. . Charles Laughton, Londoner, in Payment Deferred" is outstand- ing. Raymond Massey, an- other Englishman, as a youthful and human Hamlet Alice Brady does the best work of her career in Mourning Becomes Elec- tra" and reveals herself as one of the finest actresses. Ethel Barrymore as Lady Teazle." :. Gregory Ratoff in "Wonder Boy" Paul Muni, late of Hollywood, as the young lawyer in Counsel Tor at Law" .. Adrienne Allen as the shop girl in "Cynara." .. . Ruth Gordon in "The Church Mouse" |. Franchot Tone in "The House of Connolly" .. |. You may note that only two or three of these have been identified with the Broadway theater in the past.

 "The Road to Singapore" which opened last night at the Lyric the- ater with William Powell in the starring role. is a darkly glamor- ous melodrama of the tropics which gives the actor ample oppor- tunity to display his unique talents. Powell is a past master in the subtle art of making imperfect characters interesting and sympa- thetic. A less able actor would not have dared play the role of Hugh Dawltry in q story dealing so frankly with fundamentals. but in his experienced hands the pie ture turns out to be one of the high spots of the current season.
