KING OF JUNGLE"
 STATE SATURDAY

Hello Everybody" Kate Smiths first starring picture and "Blondie Johnson" with Joan Blondell and Chester Morris. conclude their en- gagement at Warmers State with performances this afternoon and evening.
 Tomorrow brings the new screen senation King of The Jungle"
 The film is doubly interesting be- cause of it's leading player, Buster Crabbe, swimmink champion of re- nown, selected for the role of the Lion Man following a nationwide search, gives an amazingly fine per- formance. He has, of course, the magnificent physique which was required for this herculean char acter-a young man brought up from the age of three by a pack of lions. But, in addition, although "King of the Jungle" marks his first appearance before the camera. he proves himself to be an actor of ease, intelligence and charm.
 Crabbe is cast as a youth who, orphaned in the African jungle at an early age. grows up with a pack of roaming lions and ultimately be- comes their leader. Captured while trying to rescue one of the pack who is trapped, he is brought to the United States where he be- comes head trainer in circus.
 The film reaches it's climax when fire breaks out in the circus and the hysterical animals break loose from their cages to roam through the streets of large city. leaving a trail of death and de- struction.
 Beautiful Frances Dee is the charming heroine of the picture and the supporting cast includes Nydia Westman, Douglas Dumbril- Jeff Robert Adair, Sam Baker, Sid ney Toler and Irving Pichel.
 Coming next Saturday is the Warner Bro h s sensational triumph "42nd Street." The great est eye and ear entertainment to reach the screen since the first talk ing picture, which incidentally, Warner Brothers too presented.

STRAND OFFERING
 "SON DAUGHTER"

"The Son Daughter" much her aided limitation of David Belasco's great play with Helen Hayes and Ramon Novarro. heads the double feature program at Warmers Strand today and tomorrow. Based on a dramatic situation fairly staggering in it's force, the story, a drama of Chinatown, is en- acted by an ella borate cast, all play ing Oriental roles in q thrilling series of plots oi highbinders, rev olutionistS, and tOngs; spectacular celebrations, gambling dens, weird catacombs and other authentic Oriental excitement.
 Miss Hayes plays a Chinese girl who sells herself in a marriage auction to aid her countrymen. The role rises to dramatic heights that would tax the talents of Duse or Bernhardt. Mss Hayes is maGnili- tent in the part, scoring a triumph greater even than that in her role of "Madelon Claudet' Novarro, as the lover who rescues her from her predicament, suggests the Novarro of Ben Hur" in tho virility of his characterization of the Chinese revolutionary leader.
 The companion feature, "The Devil Is Driving" is a finely con- structed melodrama which fully lives up to it's unusual title and to the quality of it's cast. headed by such players as Edmund Lowe. Wynne Gibson, Lois Wilson and Allan Dinehart.
 The film moves at terrific pace to thrilling climax, and mingles ribald comedy with it's melodrama. It is distinguished further by brilliant performances, especially by Lowe as the wise cracking Gabby, who finally tracks down the racketcers and by Wynne Gibson as a lady of his heart. Another chapter of the thrilling serial ''The Devil Horse" as well as other featurettes are included on this splendid program of fine screen entertainment.

In The Local TheaterS EILERS COMING
 TO THE PALACE

There are very infrequent excep- lions to Hollywood's grim forecast that few extras" will ever rise to Bfardom.
 Sally Eilers is one of the excep- tlons. She began movie work as an obscure extra girl and made meteoric rise to a position among the brightest Of the cinema worlds luminaries. It wasn't a surprise to Sally. She fully expected to be- come a star, and worked hard with that end in view.
 Sally was born in New York City and received her early education there. She had ambitions to become a stenographer, but these were killed when her family moved to Hollywood and. following her grad uation, she took q dramatic course.
 Her big chance presented itself one day when she visited the Mack Sennett studio to have lunch with her friend CarCIe Lombard. Sen nett spotted her and offered her role in piece in which an actress had walked out on him because he wanted her to wear pants. Would Miss Eilers wear pants? Mss Eilers said she would wear suit of armor-if necessary.
 The result was screen test and, on the following day, Sally was called to the studio and offered contract. This succeeded in break ing her parents objections to , screen career for their daughter, and Sally started on the road to fame in '"The Goodbye Kiss" which was little short of q sensation.
 There followed roles in such pie turcs as Dry Martini. Trial Marriage" Broadway Daddies". "Show of shows" "The Long Long, Trail, "Doughboys' and "She Couldn't Say No" She was leading lady for Buster Keaton in sailors Holiday" and enacted a prominent role with Marie Dressler in Reducing"
 The signing of a contract with Fox Films advanced her to greater fame, for it brought her her CO., starring part with James Dunn in Bad Girl" The picture made his tory and established Sally and Dunn as an outstanding team. They followed with "Over the Hill v "Dance Team and Sailors Luck which is to pe seen Sunday at the Palace TheateT.

 Just before leaving for New York and Europe to meet Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford attended an extremely dull party. Stanley Smith, who was there also, thought it dull. So they decided to go call ing, stopping at the homes of sev- eral friends and sending in word by Mary's chauffeur hat ''the Smiths are calling"-Mary's name really being Gladys Smith. Everything went well and they had lot of fun until they came to the home of

 Joan Crawford had made a din- ner date for herself and Doug Fairbanks. Jr, on the night of his arrival home. But Doug wired that the train would be eight hours late. So Joan chartered plane, plucked her husband off the train at Barstow and had him home in time for the dinner.
 The most difficult part of this acting racket apparently is the quitting. No matter what they've gone through, these stars just don't seem able to call it a day-even if they have to become their own pro- ducers to continue. Now it's Mae Murray who's going into the pro- ducing field. Although no definite plans have been announced, Miss Murray will start production of a series of films soon and will be the star in some of them.
 And that reminds us that Tom Mix really isn't so anxious to get back to circus life as the recent announcement of his retirement would indicate. Reports circulat- ing around the Fox lot have Tom about ready to sign for series of westerns to be made by that studio. And those who know Tom say he isn't at all anxious to leave Holly wood.

BY SPECIALIST

Since Miss Jessie Lee Decker, eX-
tension specialist in home furnish
ingS, is TO come TO the valley any
way, those women who met with
Mrs. John Froh1y yesterday after
noon, expecting to see Miss Decker,
were delighted with her substitute,
w. E. Newlin, poultry expert of the
agricultural extension service.
Newlin is in the valley to hold
a series of poultry meetings, but
when word was received yesterday
that Miss Decker could not meet
with the women, and since there
was no way of calling off the gath
ering, he was pressed into service.
The speaker gave a splendid talk
on market conditions for poultry
and then told the women how to
prepare birds for market, empha-
sizing that the birds used for home
consumption would be prepared in
exactly the same manner as these
for market. He illustrated his
points by giving a demonstration Of
the proper way to kill, dress and
draw fowl for market.
Other zone meetings were post
poned until November 16, II, l9,
when Miss Decker will be here.
