STATE

High romance and lifting mel ody, prize-winning twins of enter tainment, are deftly combined in '"The Cat and the Fiddle" which opened this afternon at the State theater. .....
 Ramon Novarro and Jeanette Macdonald are the stars, and this department suggests that Metro Goldwyn- Mayer will do we'll to keep them together in future films. It has been many day since the screen has seen a more ideal pair of lovers.
 "The Cat and the Fiddle" adapted from&he successful stage play by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach, comes to the films with it's original inspired musical score intact. The story happily has been strengthened in it's romantic and dramatic aspects and it is absorb ing entertainment from first to last.
 From the moment that devil may-care Novarro, escaping from an irate restaurateur, pops into a taxicab that happens to be occu- pied by Miss Macdonald, the pic ture hits a fast romantic pace tha, never lets down. His love- making and their subsequent life together is romance and drama of high de- gree.
 Frank Morgan as the suave pro- ducer who also falls in love with Miss Macdonald contributes a memorable performance. Charles Butterworth is superb as Novarro E faithful but none-too-bright friend Jean Hersholt scores as Novarro's professor and confidant. Vivienne Segals lovely voice and seductive personality will be remembered. The musical numbers sung by the co-stars and by Miss Segal are already Dest-selling hits and theii interpretation from the screen adds new laurels to the concert reputa- tions of both Novarro and Miss Macdonald. In such selections as "The Night Was Made for Love- "She Didn't Say Yes," "One Mo- ment Alone" "The Love Parade" "A New Love Is old" and Try to Forget" they reach musical heights that will not soon be forgotten. As an extra added attraction the State management presents Jackie Cooper in Lone Cowboy" said to be his finest role since "The Champ" A story full oi comedy, drama and pathos ir which little Jackie proves himself 100 per cent all boy. He is sup. ported by an excellent cast in. cluding Lila Lee and John Wray

 which is the companion feature and is filmization of. g new story by the noted writer, William Faulk- ner. The picture is said to give Miss Cdawford brilliant opportuni- ties as the young English girl who struggles desperately to win a chance for love amid the turmoil of the World war. The three men with whom her life is entangled are Cooper at the American acia- l tor, Robert Young as the child hood sweetheart who wins her for few. brief days during the hys-- teria of life in 2 billet town, and | Franchot Tone, New York stage star, who makes his first film Ap. | pearance in To-day We Live" as Miss Crawford's brother. The cast also includes Roscoe Karns, Louise Closer Hale, Rollo Lloyd and Hil- da Vaughn under the direction of Howard Hawks, who produced "Scarface."

In The Local Theaters
PALACE

Gripping drama goes hand in hand with youthful romance, mother-love and intriguing comedy interludes, in May Robson's latest screen appearance in You Cant Buy Everything" drama of high finance one of the current features at Poli's theater.
 The picture deals with the amaZ- ing career of female financial wizard who shakes Wall street, sways the fates of Banks and other institutions, and in her money-mad career forgets mother-love until an intense dramatic climax recalls to of money.
 The character as played by Miss Robson, perhaps suggests the fa- nous Hetty Green.
 Miss Robson gives an amazing , performance as the woman who, tilted by banker in her youth, longs to be the richest woman in the world and for revenge on her erstwhile lover, she manipulates to wreck his bank, then finds that her son and his daughter are low CTS. The sons rebellion brings her to a realization of the emptiness of her years of penny-saving and hectic stock coups.
 The romantic interest is shared by Jean Parker and William Bake well, who provide the very embodi- ment of loves young dream. The suave banker and ex-lover is play. ed by Lewis Stone, and Mary Forbes is the society woman friend of Miss Robson.
 The second feature is fast and breezy comedy romance titled Ever Since Eve" George O'Brien who has long been associated with westerns, has the leading role, and his change from brooches and spurs to top hat and tails Is entire.

Longtime Land Program

No account is being taken, in this emergency program, of the relative productivity of land or it's relative production costs.
 That problem will be handled in 2 longtime land program involv- ing extensive resettlement and the withdrawal of sub-marginal tracts form commercial production.
 The longtime program Is based on the estimated need for from 3O5 ,00O,000 to 310,00O,000 acres to produce the domestic food supply. An attempt will be made to dis tribute the necessary crops in the most profitable growing areas, to provide a maximum amount for export, and still prevent such sur pluses as would drive down prices.
 The sub-marginal land with 6rawal program, to which $25,' 900, ,000 of PWA money already has been allotted for purchases, Is aimed partly at reduction of sur pluses to the extent that they are increased by uneconomic produc- tiOn.

 Farmers would be able to ex- ..change their wheat for flour on a ..basis which North Dakota officials .believe would approach parity - the long sought aim of the admin '.istration's agriculture experts. :. Similar exchanges would bene- fit producers of other agricultural ..commodities.
 Frazier, who denies the social -istic implications of the project. first brought the matter to atten- ..tion of administration officials in December when, he said, 1t was .received with friendliness.
 The formal application just filled has been promised careful Study by PWA officials, although -many of them doubt that loan -sor such purposes could be made funds are virtually exhausted.
 Frazier explained the proposed projects were designed to give work to the unemployed as well as to give farmers more goods in ex- -change for their crops.

Millions Paid Out

Government payments to farm CTS last year were about s150,000.- 900, mostly for cotton. The 1884 program probably will take another billion, including 367 millions for corn and hogs, 200 millions for beef and dairy, IFS millions for corn loans, 81 millions for wheat, and 35 millions for tobacco.
 Crop reduction is an emergency measure. The hope is to get output stabilized eventually so that the benefits and economies of mass production can be made available to everyone without ruiEing the farmers.

 Copyright 1884, NEA Service Incl WASHINGTON, Feb 28- " Even before the banks reopened, President Roosevelt had leaped into the most gi- gantic social-economic experi- ment of all time.
 The American farmer must be put back on his feet. The agricultural area is the "for- gotten market" which must be opened for industry. Se- cial justice and national re- covery demand a vast pro- gram of government aid.
 Those were and are the New Deal principles as to agriculture.
 We were entering on "a new and untrodden path" Roosevelt said in announcing his policies. And farm rehabilitation, year later, IS still an experiment. Let's try to sum mariZe it.
 PROBLEM: Huge uncontrolled surpluses of basic crops, reduced foreign markets, and hopeless debt burdens had created a desperate emergency.
 Farm prices had fallen far be- low the depressed general price level and farmers were forced to sell at below production costs. A wave of mortgage foreclosures had produced widespread rioting.
