Bette Davis Is
 Coming 10 State

Maurice Chevalier with darling Baby Le Roy in his latest starring vehicle, "A Bed Tune Story" closes at Warner State this eve- ming. Tomorrow brings Bette Davis in her first starring picture, "EX-Lady". FWarner Brothers have provided her with vehicle which is the last word in modern stories.
 The manners and morals, of New Yorks artistic set are depicted in all the modernity of today's and tomorrow's ideas, rather than bor- rowing on the material of yester- day.
 In the title role, Miss Davis en- acts the part of modern girl, frank and sincere, who wants her romance unfettered by the con- ventions of marriage. The part of her sweetheart is played by Gene Raymond, blonde star of stage and screen.
 The struggle between today's and yesterdays ideas and codes, and their conflict with the careers of the young people provide some unusual mixups and a spicy plot that provides intriguing material for the vivacious new star.
 The story is set against the background of New York's artist colony with its colroful, Bohe- milan atmosphere, and it shifts in sequence to casinos and night clubs in Havana. Contrast of locale is added to contrast of types and ideas, thus providing moving brilliance to this hour of enter tainment.
 A finely cast group of players appear in support of Bette Davis and Gene Raymond. Important parts are played by Frank Nc Hugh, Monroe Owsley. Claire Dodd, Kay Storzzi, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Alphonse Ethier and Bodil Rosing.
 The companion feature is Para mounts adaptation of Zane Grey's greatest novel, "The Mysterious Rider" with two new western stars, Kent Taylor and Lona Andre, heading the cast which includes Irving Pichei. Gail Patrick and Warren Hymer.

 The Play.
