PALACE

Polis theater the house of hits has another superb feature pro- gram opening tomorrow. The first feature with a superlative four star cast portraying q quartet of characters that match their dis tinctive personalities is a point whose value can't be exaggerated in favor of "All of Me- the title of the picture.
 {. Miriam Hopkins, Frederic March George Raft and Helen Mack com prise this quartet of contrasts, whose odd natures are pitted one against the other to make striking drama. @
 Based on the play "Chrysalis", the. picture presents the highlights of four interesting lives, with Miss Hopkins possibly portraying the main character, that of a society girl with wayward inclinations.
 Engaged to a young college in- Fstructor, played by Frederic March she isn't certain of her love until devious contacts with the life teach her tho meaning of devotion. Although the picture Is cram med with plot and dramatic sit- nations, one looks in vain for vil- lain, unless it be society in general. Raft plays the part of an errant youngster, who can't go straight in order to realize love with Eve, played by Helen Mack.
 It is the drab fate these two meet that brings realization to the doubting lovers of the upper strata represented here by. Miss Hopkins and March. N ft ~. The second feature presents "the perfect foor'' in his most perfect talkie. Ed Wynn, The Chief. ~ The infectious giggle, the hilar- ious 5000, the screaming funny stories that have made Wynn in ternationally famous as "the silliest man in America" all these will be heard when Wynn steps out of his radio invisibility and appears on the screen. To many this will be their first glimpse of a personality who ranks with Will Rogers and Marie Dressler as one of America s outstanding humorists. The added attraction is that pop ular featurette "The Three Pigs" this time in French, funnyier than ever.

Good Evening.
SLOPPY DAYS

The muddy sloppy days have come The saddest of the year; Occasional winds then sloppy days And melting ice dirty smear Heaped in the corners of city yards The last storms snow still stays; Wet sloppy streets dreary sights
 Are what now meet the gaze. The winter birds hover near To gather small stray crumb; First it's cold, then it's mild,
 The seasons just plain dumb. No sightliness about us anywhere Except the stark beauty of stripped woods With brooks rushing madly along AS snow melts to release the floods The least pleasing season is in full swing With everything just too soppy, But spring is coming anyway, and Some days must be dark and sloppy.

lilies and individuals on the relief
rolls. Although a 24-hour study
preceded today's conference, the
various reporting and auditing
agencies today were unable to
show a clear-cut picture of the
activities. However, Commissioner
Allen reported that the trend of
relief needs appeared to be down
ward, a circumstance which, he
said, would justify the Commits
sioners in reducing their request
for Federal money.
The Commissioner also said
that, beginning with tomorrow,
when a new relief administration
headed by Elwood Street takes
hold of the job, a revised and
simplified accounting method will
be put into effect.
The figures shown at the con-
ference today indicate that dur
ing May, $758,681 has been spent
for relief, of which $634,2l3 was
for direct relief, the balance going
for emergency work materials,
employees, and other details.
