 (NEA Service Stan Correspondent)
 Hollywood-"There is no great genius without a mixture of mad ness," said the great philosopher Aristotle.
 Reading that quotation, I sud- denly became aware of the fact that for years I have been living in a community filled with semi geniuses. Although few combine the two traits of madness and shrewd ability, there are untold numbers who show signs of one or the other. However, it must be admitted that the majority are in the former classification at least if one is to judge from their antics.
 Of course, these persons who do such strange and unusual things refer to themselves simply as practical jokers. But it would take semi-genius to think of some of the things which go on around the film hamlet.
 For instance, Carol Lombard once sent Norman Taurog live bear just because she knew of his intense dislike for these animals. Gary Cooper takes great delight in mussing his leading lady's hair just after she has had it fixed.
 Harpo Marx once went to a gymnasium and had himself stretched just to win a bet from his brother. Jack Oakie takes great delight in coaxing weird and loud noises from his saxo- phone only when there are oth. CTS around. Ida Lupino thinks it's fun to push reluctant swim mers into her pool.
 Bing Crosby will sing loud and long late at night just to annoy his neighbors, Dick Arlen aud w, c. Fields. Buster Keaton went around all one summer wearing an admirars uniform. Katharine Hepburn used to ride in an im- ported limousine with a liveried chauffeur and footman, while she herself wore overalls.
 Naturally none of those things necessarily indicate that the per- sons involved are potential geni- uses. But on the other hand, they aren't usually associated with complete normalcy, either.
 Lloyd's Funniest
 Go to see Harold Lloyd's new film, "The Catspaw." Having just seen a preview of this picture, that is the best bit of advice can dish out this week. A complete depar. ture from anything he has done in the past, in that the comedy de- bends upon story situations rather than loosely strung-together gags. 1t is the finest and funniest vehicle Lloyd has offered in several years.
 The story is of the son of an American missionary in China who returns to this country after having spent practically all his life in the Orient. Through

Powerful Low Ora in a Casts Screen Veteran
 in Fine Role

"The Defense Rests" which heads the new program at the Lyric Sunday and Monday is a powerfully told and dramatic revelation of the courtroom ex- ploits of brilliant sensation-seek- ing criminal lawyer. Jack Holt is seen in the role of Matt Mitchell, the astute "mouthpiece," and the characterization he presents is one of the high spots of the current cinema season.
 Ruthless. interruptions, and dis gusted with the sham of his pro- fession, Mitchell delivers bomb shell in the opening scenes in vitriolic address to the graduating class of his old alma mater, ex- horting the amazed students to earn an honest living as brick layers and typists. Half an hour later, finding the sensational ad- dress emblazoned on the front pages, he cynically comments, That's advertising which money can't buy-and which the bar as- sociation can't bar"

 IN 'HIDE-OUT'
Palace Picture Is,Story of Life on a Connecticut
 Farm

Seldom more than once In a lifetime a motion picture comes along that lifts the audience right out of cosmopolitan New York and drops them for splendid hour and a half in the sweetly scented fields of new mown hay in Connecticut to revel in the wholesome pleas ures of a rural setting.
 Such a picture is "Hide-Out" now at Poli's and having as its star Robert Montgomery and ably assisting him are tMaureen O'Sul- livan and Edward Arnold, remem- bered for his work in Sadie Me- Kee" and in this picture he is even better.
 Simple as it is in theme there have only been two other pictures that have compared with it in amusement and they were "It Hap- pened One Night" and "The Thin Man" and if you liked these nie- lures here is another that you will like better.
 It is the story of jovial play boy who is driven out of the city and finds himSelf on farm near Milford, Conn, where he mets the farmers daughter, played by Miss O'Sullivan and then and only then he finds out that there are other things besides the life he has been leading but while doing this he will have you roaring with laughter at his antics.
 The role is made to measure for Robert Montgomery and how he handles it. Edward Arnold who will be remembered as the philan- dering husband of Joan Crawford in Sadie Mckee" is seen in this picture and to those that adored him in the other picture then there is a treat coming that will be talked about for weeks to come.
 All of our friends that see this will be telling you about the swell picture that they have seen so pre- pare for a treat that will not be found elsewhere in this vicinity un- til next Tuesday night.
 On the same program there will be the latest film effort of the most popular juvenile star that has ever been on the screen, little Shir- le yTemple will be seen n"Whats to Do," and besides the above there wi llbe the usual carefully select ed short program.

HILARIOUS COMEDY COMES TO STATE
She Loves Me Not" Stars Bing Crosby, Miriam
 Hopkins

An absurdly ack-brained and delicious comedy, that even in its widest moments seemed surpris- ingly real, Paramount's "She Loves Me Not" starring Bing Crosby and Miriam Hopkins in the film version of the seasons great est stage hit, opened to laughter and applause at the State theater this afternoon.
 The ludicrous account of what might have happened at the Princeton but never did begins with 8 shooting in a Philadelphia night club, viewed by a little danc- CT, who fees to escape being held as a material witness.
 She gets as far as Princeton, penniless and hungry, where she prevails upon the generosity and good nature of group of college boys who disguise her as a student and hide her in their dormitory. The father of one of the stu dents hits upon the ingenious plan of using her predicament as part of 8 wild-eyed publicity scheme to save one of his films which prom ises to be a lemon. He dispatches his demon press-agent to the uni- versity campus where he arrives together with a gunman from Phil adelphia who has come to silence Curly, and the dean who has just got wind of the affair.
 The ludicrous mix-up that re- suits almost causes the expulsion of the guilty student group, but the press rallies to their defense and happy solution is reached for all, with the dancer in the movies, Crosby in love with the deans daughter and the musing quiet restored beneath Princeton $ dreamy spires.
 As the tow-headed, fiamboyant, madcap little dancer who causes all the trouble, Miss Hopkins ren- ders one of the grandest perform ances of her career, while Cros- by and Kitty Carlisle are equally delightful in both their singing and acting roles.
 The picture has one advantage which even the superb play lacked. and that is the quartet of new hit numbers by Rainger and Robin. and Gordon and Revel which are sung throughout the film, includ- ing the hit tune "Love in Bloom.' D. | Appearing in the supporting roles are Henry Stephenson, War ren Hymer, Lynne Overman, Jud- ith Allen, George Barbier and Vince Barnett, who render series of excellent characterizations.
 Manager Julia M. Smith has ar- ranged splendid surrounding program to accompany this splen- did feature presentation.
