1.-THE FINAL EDITION" AND "PEACH-O.RENO" ON DELUXE
 DOUBLE BILL AT THE STATE

Two corking good feature pie. lures, "rhe Final Edition" an! "Peace- -o-Reno" are to be found on the double feature program be. ing offered patrons of Warmers State to-day, tomorrow and Friday.
 Many times the story Of now newspaper story is gotten IS more interesting than the story itself. The perils of the press reporter are frequently as great as those or de. tective or secret service agent, put they are not so often heard about because the reporter Is an unsung hero: . ..
 of how a newspaper scoops all It's rivals in a murder mystery because one of It's girl reporters had the nerve to risk her very life to get the goods on the guilty man against whom there was only the slightest evidence until she trapped him.
 Pat o'Brien and Mae Clarke (stars of "The Front Page") play the featured leads. O'Brien giving A vivid and colorfui performance as the city editor. Mae Clarke Is the sob sister and plays the role with characteristic sincerity and intelligence.
 Besides the excellent perform ances of O'Brien and Miss Clarke. splendid characterization are con. tributed by Bradley Page and Nor gan Wallace as racketeers, Mary Doran as q moll, James Donlan as an ever-weary news cameraman and Wallis Clark as the police commissioner who could be bought.
 If you thought Caught Plas- tered" and "The Cuckoos' were good vehicles for the comedy fa- vorites. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, (and of course, Dorothy Lee!) you should see "Peach.o- Reno" companion feature.
 In "Pence- -Rcno' the come- dians, and the producers, RkO- Radio Pictures, have done q dim. cult thing. They have topped" 6 long succession of comedy mirth- quakes by a 'ide margin. "Peach- O'-Reno" will probably stand long as the funniest picture Wheeler and Woolsey have produced.
 As the title suggests, Peach h-O'- Reno" is e riotous take-off on life | In Reno today. It mingles enough realism with its fun to give one q pretty good picture of America's one "wide-open town" and 1t cov- CTS the territory from railroad sta- ton to hotel, to lawyers offices to courthouse. with plenty of night life of divorcees, divorcers. about to- be -divorcees and hangers-on.

Constance Benett in "The Easiest Wayv Bebe Daniels in ''Thc Mall tese Falcon" at New Garden.

"This picture marks the fruition of one of my earliest childheed dreams" said Constance Bennett recently, talking of "The Easiest Way" the Eugene Walter stage classic which as a Metro-Goidwyn- Mayer talking picture will open to- day at the New Garden theater for two days. :,

Tho Bidding

Tnc Bluuiny
 Neither side were vulnerable. South, West and North passed and East opened fourth hand with one spade. South passed and West overcalled with two hearts. East then jumped the contract to three No Trump.
 The Play
 Mir Jaeger did not have much to do with the bidding as he sat In the North position. His part ner in the South opened with the queen of spades which East won with the ace. East tiien led q small club, winning in dummy with the queen. Hisi next play was the queen of diamonds from dummy, and when North refused to cover, East dropped the jack. Declarer then led the 10 of dia- monds from dummy, North played the seven and declarer played the eight. The four of diamonds was led from dummy, North played the king and East, the declarer, won the trick with the ace.
 The declarer's next play was the six of hearts. the 10 being finessed from dummy. It looked quite natural for North to win the trick with the jack, but here is where MT Jaeger pulled off his false card play-he won the trick with the king and then returned the four spades which East won with the king. The declarer led the ace of clubs, South's jack fall ing on the trick and small heart vas discarded from dummy. He then led the deuce of hearts, and due to MT Jaeger's -carding by winning the trick with the king. the declarer thought that South held the jack and now finessed the nine of hearts which North won with the jack and re- turned the seven of clubs. De- clarer finessed the nine spot and then cashed his king of clubs. but he was now forced to lose the last two spade tricks.
 The declarer should not have been deceived by the false-card- ing because if South had held four hearts to the jack and only four spades he would have un- doubtedly opened the hearts rath. CT than the four-card spade suit as the spades had been bid by East. Knowing that south does not hold four hearts. the deelarer could get a perfect count on the hand and should go up with the queen of hearts knowing that they will break. In this manner he would have made small slam.
