DOUBLE FEATURE
 AT NEW GARDEN
< After Tonight" and ''Ol= sens Big Moment
 Open Tomorrow

Taking rank among the really strong dramatic productions of the current season, After Tonight" playing the New Garden theater Sunday and Monday presents capti- vating Constance Bennett in one of her greatest roles. Miss Bennett is miles and miles away from the surroundings where she has won fame, the luxurious settings of so- ciety and sophistication. The RKO- Radio star enacts the part of an Allies spy whose beauty of face and physical charms win officers and wartime secrets, the latter being spirited away through under ground channels to agents of her government, Russia.
 Miss Bennett is first seen as a humble peasant girl, then a night club singer in Vienna, where she barely escapes capture and death. Ordered closer to the front lines, She becomes nurse in an Austrian base hospital. An officer she had met as peasant girl is hot on her trail and the most dramatic se- Quences comes in the shadow of the front lines and within the sound of big guns as Miss Bennett, enacting the role of Carla, is proved to be a spy. Gilbert Roland Is the Aus trian captain who has to choose be- tween death for the girl he loves ana duty to his country. George Arcfainbaud directed.

JOE E, BROWN IN STATE ATTRACTION
''Son of a Sailor ''Tops Holiday Program Be-
 ginning To-day

Joe B. Brown in his latest com- edy mirth-quake, ''Son of a Sailor" heads the gala holiday program the State is offering its patrons to- day to Wednesday. Yes, there is a well knitted story, sane and logical enough to allow for all the utterly obsurd, illogical and insane antics of Joe D. Brown as Handsome" Callahan. Joe is a sailor in the Navy, a member of the airplane carrier U. s. s. Saratoga crew. To hear him tell it, he hobnobs with the elite, notables, admirals and the like during his spare time. And the funny part of 1t is that he does, in the end, though most unwilling ly. But that 1t is not the important part of it. Joe prevaricates himself in and out of more trouble than a whole regiment of Ananiases.
 He can lick any man in the world and has to prove 1t. His hosts of lady admirers-why the line simply forms on the right. And what Q lineup of rights he en- counters before he gets even a tumble from a single female.
 There may be only seven original jokes on which to base any com edy, but we failed to recognize any of the familiar connections these are supposed to bring about. Hilari- ous situations, new to the screen at least, kept yesterdays audience in a constant roar of laughter. Pic- ture for instance a lone sailor find- ing himself at sea, aboard a dis carded cruiser which is about to be used for bombing experiments and is. You just can't picture 1t. You'll have to see "Son of a Sailor" to appreciate 1t all. But take warn. ing and grace yourself well in your seat when this sequence comes on the screen.
 Johnny Mack Brown has an im- portant assignment as the young petty officer whom Handsome re. veres and Frank McHugh is seen as 'Handsome's' own man Friday. Jean Muir, the much discussed screen find imported to Hollywood by First National, has her first leading role opposite Joe, and Thelna Todd appears as the ad- venturess whose plot Is foiled by 'Handsome.'
 Others in the large cast so ably directed by Lloyd Bacon are George Blackwood, Sheila Terry, Kenneth Thomson, Arthur Vinton and Merna Kennedy.

The heroic side of the war spy's work is now being glorified in cycle of pictures which Hol. lywood Is launching.

 Six years ago the First National studio brought 10 college men to Hollywood. Each man had 8 six months contract with the studio and high hopes of becoming a noted screen star.

DANCING NCLADY'A AT
 STRAND SUNDAY
Joan Crawford and Clark Gable Team Up in
 Broadway Drama

With Joan Crawford and Clark Gable headlined, a smashing pa- rade of sizzling song hits, an eye thrilling cavalcade of pulcritudiness chorus ensembles and a sensation al Broadway drama as a story mo- tivation, Dancing Lady" heads the holiday feature program at War ners' Strand Sunday to Wednesday night.
 Teamed once more with Gable, Joan plays her chorus role with ali she's got. She wears the kind of costumes that men will gape at and women will try to copy. And when she dances-well, she dances!
 Metro Goldwyn Mayer has topped them all with this musical smash. The picture abounds with spectacles that stagger imagination and throbs with a romance that alone would make the picture a grand evenings entertainment.
 Robert 2. Leonard did a brilliant job of directing from the famous James Warner Bellah novel pub- lished serially in a national maga- zine. Joan plays the part of the burlesQue chlorine who is deter- mined to make good on Broadway at any price. Gable is the hard boiled dance director who treats 'em rough--on and off.
 The cast reads like an all-star screen, stage and radio aggrega- tion-Franchot Tone, May Robson, Winnie Lightner, Fred Astaire, Robert Benchley, Ted Healy, Gloia Toy, Art Jarrett, Grant Mitchell, Maynard Holmes, Nelson Eddy, Sterling Holloway and those devastating Ted Healy stooges. Sammy Lee and Eddie Prinz proved their skill in the handling of the dancing ensembles. These gorgeous numbers eclipse by far the most ambitious production spectacle ever placed upon the silver sheet.
 Among the song hits are "Let,s Go Bavarian," ''Heigh Ho," "Ev- erything Have Is Yours," "That's the Rhythm of the Day" and Dancing Lady," You'll hear them plenty from now onl
 The companion feature is ''The Invisible Man," Universal's super thriller, starring Claude Rains with Gloria Stuart and William Harri- gan. This is one of the most un- canny films ever to reach the screen and exciting entertainment from opening to closing scenes. Both these pictures will be

Mind is nothing but the unobserv-

order named.
The average male brain weighs

this is merely a physiological fact.
