PROGRAM CHANGE
 TOMORROW

'Rasputin and the Empress starring John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, one of the most i'm portant pictures ever to be flashed across the screen, concludes its en- gagement this evening at Warmers State theater.
 Tomorrow brings an all-new double feature program headed by 'The Constant Woman" with Con- rad Nagel, Leila Hyams, Clare Windsor and Tommy Conlon, Based on a play by Eugene O'Neill, "The Constant Woman" proves to be a drama of genuine strength, with an absorbing story that holds the in- terest to the last fadeout. It's a story of love and sacrifice, with a youth the pivot of much of the emotional scenes. Colorful theatri- cal background is introduced into the action, since the story is un- folded in the atmosphere of a tent show and later, in a circus.
 Conrad Nagel, always a sturdy prop in any cast, heads a really stellar roster of players. In addi- tion to those mentioned above, the cast includes Fred Kohler, Alex ander Carr and Stanley Fields.
 The companion feature is to be The Cohens and Kellys in Trouble, another laugh-packed ad- venture of this lovable foursome with Charlie Murray and George Sidney again providing the material for laughs that make the reviewers sides ache.
 Saturday brings another special production to the State in the pres- entation of Paramount's "Pick Up'' starring the screens new love team, George Raft and Nancy Car roll,

Heralded as a screen sensation and the "sth wonder of the worlds ',King Kong the current feature picture at thea Palace theater. i= just that and makes good on o'i promises advanced for 1t.
 Based on a weird and highly imaginative story, by that master of mystery writers, Edgar WalIac1 this picture has more than farl~ tasy, more than a romance, 1t fs symbolic story of the age old triumph of brains over brawn and of beauty over the beast.

 Women will especially be inter- ested in this picture, it shows the way in which even the most savage of beasts may be tanned by beauty. and a lovely romance, runs all the way through this picture, on one side is pitted the mammoth ape and on the other Robert Arm- strong and Bruce Cabot.

 Hollywood.-Neither Joan Craw- ford nor Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, remembers exactly how Doug managed his proposal.
 Tt just sort of happened" they declared a short time after their engagement had been announced. Long before any definite status had been reached, we both knew that evetually we would be mar ried."
 Although no comment ever could be drawn from any of the parties involved, rumors flew about Hollywood that their mar riage was delayed considerably by Mary Pickford, in private life Mrs Douglas Fairbanks, ST. Mary, ac- cording to the stories, was afraid that Joan might have child, thus making her a grandmother--or to be specific, a step-grandmother, since she ts/ only young Doug's stepmother. And it's said that she didn't think being a grandmother would be particularly good for her future on the screen.
 However, whether or not their wedding plans were held up for any specific reason, Doug continued being the ardent suitor. Fresh gar- denias-her favorite fiower-ar- rived at loans house every day. There were telephone calls galore.
 {: l:
 When he wasn't working, Doug spent much of his time on loans set at the Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer studio. Joan at that time was just beginning to reap the harvest of years of work. With each succeed ing picture her popularity in- creased and she was elevated to stardom just about the time of their marriage.
 Joan repaid those visits too. If she wasn't working and Doug was, she visited his set over on the Warner-First National lot. He too was rapidly rising toward film stardom.
 Shortly before their marriage M-G-M executives borrowed Doug for role opposite Miss Crawford in "Our Flushing Brides"-at least an appropriate title. It was the only film in which both have

April 8, William H. Woodin, sec-
 retary of thet reasury, recognized
 as one of the heroes of the day
 for his management of the admin
 istration's plan for the strengthen
 ing of the banks, will address the
 forum. In referring to this na-
 tionally prominent manufacturer,
 who, at the time he entered the
 cabinet was president of the Amer.
 ican Car 6 Foundry company, and
 a director of a dozen other large
 industrial concerns, President
 Roosevelt said: twill Woodin has
 been the real epic of Washington
 in this banking situation"
 Ths gray haired, slimly built, and
 smiling head of the treasury, who
 has labored night and day with his problem almost from the moment he took office, is new to public life. and new to public speaking. But there will be great interest in what he has to tell the public on this occasion.
 Next to follow in this series will be Daniel c. Roper, secretary of commerce, upon whose shoulders the president has thrown a good portion of the responsibility of working out the plan for a definite and constructive reorganization of the federal government so as to ef- feet the necessary saving to make possible the balancing of the na- tional budget. MT Roper, a na- tive of South Carolina but a resi- dent of the Capital City for more than forty years, will speak in the forum on the night of April 10. He was 8 member of the United States tariff commission and later collector of internal revenue, under Woodrow Wilson.
 Secretary of State Hull will speak on the night of April IF. Secretary Hull, before joining MT Roosevelt's official family, was a member of the U. S. senate from Tennessee and prior to that was in the house of representatives. He Is recognized as one of the econ- omic authorities in Amercan pulp lie life and has a profound knowl- edge of international problems con- fronting the country. He prom ises to deliver message of genuine interest and importance.
 Henry A. Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa, who at A years of age is pre- siding over the department of agri- culture, a position held by his late father under Presidents Harding and Coolidge, is scheduled to ad- dress the forum on April "A. Be- cause of the paramount importance | of agricultural relief in the presi- dents general plan, his remarks on this forthcoming occasion will be | awated eagerly. MT Wallace is a | farm paper editor and was selected | by MT Roosevelt because of his in- innate knowledge of the agricul- tural problem.
 George H. Dern of Utah, sec- retary of war, is to speak in the | forum May l. He was formerly | governor of Utah and has been | identified with the mining industry. He Is regarded as one of the most | eloquent speakers in the cabinet.
 James A. Farley, Homer Cum mngs, Claude A. Swanson, Harold | A. Ickes and Miss Frances Perkins have agreed to appear in the forum series and will be heard during the month of May, the dates not having been definitely fixed.
