 It's not often that studio execu-s tives voice their regard for an actor's judgment. But Joel McCrea has proved himself right so many times recently that they had to ad-s
 init it. He refused the role opposite Janet Gaynor in ''Tess of the storm Country" then the one op- posite Connie Bennett in "Our Bet- ters,' and the part opposite Ann Harding in "Declasse." z "Declasse" was called off entire- .ly. The other two films weren't ex-s actly topnotchers. Now Joel is: playing really suitable role op-s posite Irene Dunne in silver Cord" And studio execs are admit- ting that he was right in his pre- vious refusals.

Elnora, N. r., Mar. 16-CUPY Four thugs forced their way into the farmhouse of Mrs. Sophie Jaf,- nubuker, attacked two men, took $6O and tortured Mrs. Jannubaker and another woman with d red hot knife. The culprits, police said today, placed the knife against the women's legs in a vain attempt to learn whereabouts of other valu- ables. After being convinced there was no more to be stolen, the men left in an automobile.
 Mrs. Joseph Solomon was the second victim. Joseph Solomon, husband, and Oscar Harold. Mrs. Jannubuker's hired man., were knocked unconscious with black jacks. All were bound with clothes line.
 The marauders battered their way in. After taking the cash. the men heated a large butcher knife In the scoals of stove. While the women looked on terrified, the men threatened to burn them if they did not reveal the hiding place of more money.
 Mrs. Jannubuker pleaded that she had none, police said, but the attackers were skeptical. They placed the blade against the wom- ems legs. For almost half an hour, It was reported, the torture con- tinued

Hollywood.-The picture of a wild, mad and extravagant Holly wood is not a reality.
 For years such an illusion has surrounded the film capital. Now this brightly-painted scenery is be- ing torn away. And behind 1t stands sane, business-like com munity. Despite the high salaries uals-vastly in the minority in the celluloid colony-pictures to-day are being produced on an extreme ly conservative scale.
 This was revealed by recent sta- tistics showing that only 12 1-2 cents of every dollar paid into theater box offices ever, reaches Hollywood. On that small sum pic- lures are made. Another 12 1-2 cents goes to the maintenance of offices and exchanges throughout the country and supplies the funds for necessary advertising cam- paigns. And 75 cents stays right in the theater.
 Several years ago on stage g. at the Fox studio, Director John Ford was filming an I. A. R. Wylie story, -Four Sons.' with Margaret. Mann in the leading role. That picture won her nationwide acclaim. To- day on stage at the Fox studio Ford is filming an I. A. R. Wylie story, "Pilgrimage." In a small role calling for only a few scenes is Margaret Mann. That's Hollywood.

HOW STATES STAND

Washington, March 16.-UP)- Three per cent beer and wine can be sold in 23 states just as soon as the pending federal modification measure becomes effective, accord ing to a compilation by labor's na- tional committee for modification of the Volstead act.
 These 23 states have a popula- tion of 72.000,000. They are:
 Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Massachu- setts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Louisi- ana, Connecticut. Missouri, Mon- tana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Washington, In- diana, Rhode Island, Minnesota. New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
 Eleven states prohibit the sale of beer or wine by statute and a change of the state laws would be necessary to legalize the beverages. These states are Alabama, Arkan- sas, Georgia, Mississippi, New Hampshire. South Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
 Amendment of the state consti- tuition would be required in 13 states: Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Me- braska, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota. Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.
 The situation in Texas Is uncer- tain. The state law prohibits sale of intoxicating" beverages but sets no definite alcoholic content. If Texas courts held 3.2 per cent beer notwithstanding, as does con- gress, then the beer could be sold there.

 on the Chicago wheat pit, there were few offerings. It was mar ket made for the seller, but with the seller still reluctant to jump in.
 In New York there were demon- strations within the big buildings on Greenwich street, Williams street and Broad and Wall, homes of the New York Curb Exchange, the cotton exchange and the stock market.
 The trading community had been spurred by yesterdays upswing. Brokers had advised overnight that the 2 to 16 point advance on the stock market might continue for a day tr so.
 And as William Crawford, the man who starts the trading, signal ed for the opening gong today the floor was crowded. Brokers, gay and boutonniered, were eager to jump back into the market. They had large orders which had come in overnight.
 The brokerage houses were jamed again, with crowds which had been drawn by the demonstra- ,tion yesterday.
 When R. H. Macy-on the type symbol as MZ-rolled out at 34 3-4, up 1 1-4. for the first official trans action of the day, another stirring demonstration was underway. Broker wires began to fill with or- ders. There was an influx of small orders from every part of the na- tion. Some brokerage houses had to put up additional wires to care for their clientele out through the country. s4
 Tickers began to be clogged- the same.t tickers that were install- ed to handle such tremendous days as the 16,000,000 share session of 1929. In the first half hour 860,- 900 shares were traded in--the greatest transactions since Septem- Der 8. 1892.
 Adding to the boom atmosphere came the reports from the com modity markets. Cotton in New York was up as high as $4.00 Q bale. Wheat and other grains on the Chicago pit were near the maximum limit provided by the re- opening. restrictions.
 USPOFtcu IlScS III COHlIIlOuIIy prices were reflected aelittle on the stock exchange. Prices, save on the issues which would be bene- fitted by rising commodity prices, slacked off slightly. The tension was still great however. Even as late as 10:45 a. m. blocks of 2,500 and 5000 shares were showing on the tickers and the tumult in the exchange as tremendous.
 Tickers continued to be clogged for the first hour. Then as the small orders came out, the market slowed down in pitch but prices started coming back. Steel dipped and came back past $33 share. There was excitement from the steel crowd. American Telephone which also dropped slightly, came back to $106.50 a share. J. I. Case hit 50 1-2. up points for a new years high and International Har-s vester touched 25 5-S, a new years high, up 3-4.
 Outside the boiling exchanges pedestrians clogged the sidewalks. The general buoyance, beginning to be felt yesterday, was reffectd even to the sale of a curb exchange seat. Today arrangements were made for disposal of one at $39,000, up $4.000 from the last previous cl6se.

''THE BIG DRIVE"
 DUE AT PALACE

A generation is growing into manhood and wofnanhood, a gen. eration yet unborn when an assas- sin as Sarajevo touched off a bomb which rocked the world.
 To that generation, the World war is not even a dim memory. Instead, it represents chapters In the school history books.
 And to that generation, The Big Drive, greatest of all war pictures which, comes'to the Palace theater on Sunday for a Four day showing, brings an entirely new understand ing of that conflict and it's causes.
 For here is the visual record of the war. The war department archives of eight nations which participated have contributed their thousands of feet of official film. In picture of feature length, this record is presented in orderly ar- ray, so that one gains new con- ception of the causes of the World war, it's progress and the final triumph of allied arms.
 The history of two thousand years is reviewed in two minutes, as one follows the invading hosts which through the centuries have made northern France the cock pit of Europe" One sees those first wild demonstrations which marked Germany's declaration of war. wit messed with the deposed Kaiser. the reviews of those first greyclad Iegions, and follows their progress through Belgium to the Marne where they broke upon the rock of French courage.
 Then, through the tragic years which followed, the spectator watches the progress of the con- fiict, the participation of French and Russian and dominion troops and the amazing record of Ameri- can resourcefulness.
 The picture is presented with a carefully worked-out accompani- ment of sound. The motif of the of course, is martial, and there is an interesting description of each scene by the producer, A L. Rule, veteran of the A. E. F.
 Presented as animated pages from the worlds greatest album," The Big Drive, proves daily the nation that 1t is truly great record of one of the greatest events of history. Its suc- cess as a document of history in the making has been sensational.

 Majority Leader Frank Bergin, in speaking in favor of Devlin, said there was no deal involved in the nomination.
 Senator Joseph P. Cooney, Hart ford democrat who voted with the republican on recent judgeship appointments, remarked he had forgotten all that was ever said on previous occasion as to deals and the nomination was proved with the entire body in apparent good humor.
 An effort to have action taken on two other New Haven judgeships under suspension of the rules was blocked and they were tabled for later action.
 Among other matters acted upon favorable were bills which pro- vided:
 Owners and keepers of slot ma chimes and billiard tables used for gambling purposes be subject to $500 fine.
 An increase in execution fees from 25 cents to $1.

PROGRAM CHANGE
 AT THE STRAND

Performances this evening con- clude the engagement at Warmers Strand theater of "Hypnotized" with Moran and Mack and Island of Lost Souls' with Richard Arlen. Charles Laughton and the "Pan- ther Woman" Tomorrow and Fri day the all-new double feature pro- grain will include Parachute Jumper" and Ladies They Talk About" The former features Doug las Fairbanks, Jr, with Bette Davis, Frank McHugh, Leo Carrillo and a supporting cast of merit.
 The picture is romantically ad- yenturous with a strong tang of wise-cracking humor, punctuated with thrills. It has the fast moving satirical style for which Rian James, the author, an erstwhile New York columnist. is noted. Even its romance is tinged with rollicking fun
 The story details the exciting ad- ventures of two marine corps air pilots in Nicaragua, thence to New York, where they are innocently involved in smuggling contraband from the Canadian border. This brings in many spectacular air stunts, including battles in the clouds, airplanel chases and para chute jumps.
 Seven pilots of national reputa- ton take part in the air stunting, in addition to the leading charac- ters in the cast.
 The companion feature Ladies They Talk About" stars Barbara Stanwyck who appears for the first time as platinum blonde. She dons the blonde wig to participate in a bank hold up, and immediately afterwards takes it off, to appear in the rest of the picture in her natural chestnut tresses.
 While all Hollywood feminity seemingly is forsaking the darker shades of hair for blonde, Barbara says that she will never forsake her own auburn, because, she wishes to appear as her natural self. She is too genuine in charac- ter even to wear synthetic hair
 In Ladies They Talk About" she has the role of a fascinating bank bandit who gives up her criminal career after a term in prison. when she falls in love with a two listed evangelist. The prison scenes are most realistic, replica of San Quentin's women's ward having been built on the Warner lot for the scenes.
 Tn addition to the two feature pictures another chapter of the thrilling serial, "The Devil Horse" Is included on the program.

"42nd STREET"
 ENDS TOMORROW

Local theatregoers will have a final opportunity to view the rec ord-breaking musical hit "42nd Street. today and tomorrow when it concludes its run of one solid week. This sparkling entertain ment boasts 16 stars, 50 featured performers and 200. of the worlds most beautiful girls. Many the atergoers have seen it twice. Don't miss it, but plan to attend the State sometime today or, tomorrow.
 Saturday brings a double feature program to the State. Warner Brothers State, first to give local theatergoers the best in entertain ment, offer another great show to follow "42nd Street" in "So This Is Africa" in which Bert Wheeler takes his wisecracking voice and Robert Woo1sey his s-inevitable cigar into the forbidding depths of the African jungle.
 The real perils of the jungle en- countered in this instance are not wild animals, but wild women, a highly amorous tribe of beautiful Amazons led by Raquel Torres. Wheeler and Woolsey' fall more or less willing victims.
 "So This Is Africa!" written by Norman Krasna and directed by Eddie Cline, who made Million Dollar Legs" takes it's cue from the numerous jungle thrillers that have hit the country's screens in recent months and proceeds to show what happens when a pair of intrepid explorers like Wheeler and Wool sey try to shed a little light on the dark continent. Their safari con- sists of beautiful blonde who plans to make a. motion picture record of their exploits, a pack horse for Bob Woolsey's special edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, St Bernard dog and a repeating rife that repeats three times and dies.
 If Africa never was quite as wild as 1t has been pictured, 1t certainly goes wild when this, comic caravan lands to disrupt the peace and quiet of it's jungle. Even the animals are too busy laughing themselves silly to molest the invaders. who, among other start ling discoveries. stumble upon A frica's famous backward tribe walking backwards as backward tribes should. Another laugh is Bert Wheeler donning hiking boots before retiring for the night, in anticipation of walking in his sleep. Some new, perplexing prob- lem for the explorers to solve is always popping out from behind tree and thicket.
 Esther Muir plays the role of Mrs Johnson-Martini, greatest ex- pert on Africa and African customs In the world. --
 The companion feature is to be "The Crime of the Century with Jean Hersholt, Franc,s Dee, Stuart Erwin and Wynne Gibson. in the leading roles. A unique feature 10 introduced in the film.
