MARLENE DIETRICH ] ~ AS UNLIMITED WIFE
 MAKES PART LIVE

Chalk up another outstanding performance for, Marlene Dietrich in "Blonde Venus," which will be shown here for the first time on Sunday at the Poli, Palace theater. Under the skilful direction Of Josef won Sternberg, this picture becomes one of the years, best photoplays.
 Miss Dietrich in her role as the Blonde Venus" successfully proves to her many admirers that she is an outstanding actress. In a role that commands every known hu- man emotion, she grips her audi ence with her superb artistry and deep understanding of the cfarac- ter she portrays. Her moods are perfect and genuine and acted with a conviction that makes the story live.
 It, is an entirely different part that Miss Dietrich plays in Blonde Venus" She portrays first a wife whose entire life is lcentered on her husband and small son. Be- cause of the illness of her husband she goes through many vicissitudes, and finds that she is in love with two men. Fighting desperately to hold them both, she is caught In a dilemma which makes her an outcast, wandering from city to city trying to escape the direful results of her surcharged emo tional nature. The denouement of this graphically realistic photo- drama leaves one with the con- viction that he has seen Miss Dietrich in her greatest screen por- trayal. .
 The supporting cast, all well chosen for their. respective roles in- .cludes Cary Grant, Herbert Mar shall, Dickie Moore. Gertrude Short, Gene Morgan; Robert Em- met O'Connor, Maude Truax and Rita La Roy. Y

 syPerformances this evening con- clude the engagement at Warmers State of "They Call It Sin" starring Loretta Young with George Brent and brilliant cast.
 "A replica of a state prison camp for chain gang convicts was built at Warner Bros studio in North Hollywood for many of the scenes in q Am Fugitive from a Chain Gang" a dramatization of the auto Biographical novel of Robert E.. Burns, which opens at the State tomorrow.
 The incredible and yet -pictur- esque settings for the thrilling epi- sudes of the story are presented in ali their startling realism, with the great long sleeping room with rows of cots to which the prisoners are chained and on which they groan and toss in a delirium of discomfort throughout the long hot nights after spending a 14-hour day under a blazing sun on the rock pile.
 The whipping post, where recall citrant convicts are dashed with great leathern thongs until they scream in agony or faint, special cells for solitary confinement, eat ing rooms where chains clank to the rattle of tin dishes, sentry posts where stand armed guards in- structed to shoot to kill, guard rooms with gun racks, washrooms, the booking dock, the blacksmith shop where chains are forged on hIiman legs, and the kennels where

THE END

blood hounds strain at their leash es eager to lead in the deadly man hunt of some unfortunate fugitive. These form the background in which are enacted some of the most dramatic scenes ever pre-, sented in pictures. And underly- ing all the thrilling drama is a romantic story of three love af- fairs.
 The story deals with the actual experiences of the author, who was sentenced to prison gang Tor the theft of less than five dollars, who twice, escaped and who is still fugitive. Paul Muni, Broadway stage favorite of Counsellor at Law, and who created the dra- matic picture role of "Scarface." takes the character part which Burns represents as himself in his novel. He is supported by an exceptionally strong cast of thirty seven important players, including

lOImpic Champion Is Fimd0m End---And ls She HsPpy
Eleanor Holm Signs For Seven Years
 In Movies
iBy DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Ho1iywood.-The Olympic back stroke champion has become the screens newest comedienne. And is she happy? You ask her. -
 Needless to say, the little girl of whom we're speaking is Eleanor Holm, generally regarded as the prettiest of the Olympic contes- tants. That's an opinion in which the movie moguls seemed to coin- eide, too. At least, out of 200 or more girls who came here to com pete, Eleanor was the only one to grab off a film contract. And If was only last winter that she had a short fling in the Ziegfeld Follies winch should mean something, knowing the late impresario's eye for beauty.
 Having heard several conflicting reports on Miss Holm's career in the Follles, I dediced to learn the real story from her.
 "Yes; I was in the Follies for four weeks but never played in New York" she told me. II was with the show in Pittsburgh, play ing a small part. Then they took that part away and wanted me to be just one of the chorus. So quit.
 , "The national swimming cham. pionships were drawing near any way and I wanted to get in shape to compete in them and win a place on the Olympic team. For the last three years my one big thought was of the Olympics. Nothing else seemed to matter"
 However, despite the fact she al- ready has started drawing her sai- ary. it will be some months before she appears on the screen. Her first role will be a featured one and studio executives are going to insure her success in it by having her thoroughly schooled first.
 But wait until she once steps be- fore those cafneras! Unless l am mistaken, nothing will be able to hold her back. She has enough personality for three actresses and seems to have a sufficiently levei head to be able to keep her rect on the ground regardless or the success which comes to her.
 Oh, yes, and regarding that TO- nance with Dick Degener. another Olympic swimmer, Eleanor swears there's nothing to 1t. They simply like to go swimming together, she says. And adds that she never has had a regular date with him in her life. More details on that an- other time.

Here is a case fn- which the in- terpreter. of Sherlock Holmes and pr Watson, Jonathan Small and others, must realize the utmost from the: dramatic content and con victions of his part and at the same time adhere to popular concep- ton of the character as built up in the public mind by the widely read Conan Doyle story. The choice of Arthur Wontner for Sherlock Holmes has been widely applaud ed, for the actor endows his inn personation with an appearance and demeanor that is remarkably faithful to the traditional ideal.
 The companion feature is The Western Code" with Tim Mccoy and Nora Lane. Also showing is the fifth chapter of 'The Jungle Mys- tery'' and "The Knockout" Boy Fried comedy.
 The extra feature for Saturday night is CoufSry Store when thirty baskets containing choice family dinners will be given to as many who are present.

en Bomber to the road. Allen saw that Bomber was dead. He drove on. Furiously, insanely, blindly.
 He sped on and on, making good use of the momentary advantage given him by Bomber'S sacrifice. He knew the chase would be resumed almost immediately. The sound of the sirens kept coming closer and closer. ,'s- :. '-----
 A bridge. Allen drove the steam ing truck across it and set the brakes. He had a brief moment to spare. Quickly he stretched the chain between his ankles across the cogs of the trucks dumping device and turned on the power. The links ground to powder just as the first of the pursuing cars approached tho bridge.
 Grimly, deliberate, Allen lighted a fuse. Cars filled with guards carreened down the hill toward the bridge while Allen waited behind the protection of the dump truck.
 As the first car neared the bridge, Allen threw the dynamite. He threw it far out toward the center of the structure, toward it's weak est point.
 The bridge writhed like a, human being, Allen thought, before it fell, twisted and broken, into the river. Bridges had always been tangible, animate things of beauty and char acter to Allen.
 He felt as though he had de- stroyed a friend.
