 Unlike most foreign artists and designers, who have visited this country he does not deplore any lack of love of culture, but halls America as 'the country that will save the culture of Europe"
 The European countries are so bound up in their traditions, they have lost the significance of the future and have failed to build upon their past. They are deca- dent and dull" he said. "But America thr0bs with life every- where. Every day new fashions rise-fashions in foods, in labels, in cars. in buildings. in clothes, In kitchen equipment. That Is the basis of progress.

He had some of the boys pose for him while he chalked the outlines on wallboard, later painting them in several colors. One shows two men hauling hewn logs, while another pictures a few before an open log fire in the fire- place.

WALKING STICK LOSES
POPULARITY IN LONDON
Motoring and Less Attention to
Dress Are Advanced as
Reasons

LONDON (P).-The walking stick,
emblem of elegance, is tending to
disappear here.
Motoring, less attention to dress,
the industrial depression and wider
use of umbrellas are given by manu-
facturers as the reasons.
Though many an Englishman does
not consider himself well dressed
unless he carries a cane, the demand
for walking sticks has diminished
considerably, and might be even less
except for the calls from the hiking
fraternity.

Please advise me as to the
correct way for a man and a
woman guest to dress at a 4
o'clock church wedding? C.
For an afternoon church we'd
ding a woman wears her most
formal day clothes. For sum-
mer wedding she might wear a
chiffon ensemble, dress and
jacket or cape, or a lightweight
silk dress-something like that,
with a dressy hat and light
weight gloves, one Of the new
weaves perhaps, so comfortable

A man wears, if he dresses
formally, cutaway coat and dark
striped trousers, in winter and

dressing informally, dark bus
mess suit. (And one sees far
more business suits, It's true,
even at formal weddings, than
one does formal day clothesD
For a summer wedding, the man
guest usually wears either bus

not in town, he would probably

STATE

George Brent and Bette Davis head the current bill in House wife" which opens to-day at the State theater. It is dynamic love story, spiced with comedy, that has an especial appeal to women, as 1t shows, how the wife inspires her husband along the road to suc- cess. Housewife has a strong supporting cast with Ann Dvorak and John Halliday, Phil Began of radio fame and Ruth Donnelly. The co-feature is "Skeets" Galla- gher and Stuart Erwin in 'HBache- Tor Bait' with an all star cast of Rochelle Hudson and Pert Kelton. The picture is directed by George Stevens.
 The big event is Saturday, at the State when Manager Julia Smith brings for the first time to the stage, a gorgeous extraganza with large cast headed by the we'll known Bert Walton as master of ceremonies. This show without a doubt will be the headline hit of the season as only the cream of the show world has been selected; 1; well known radio artists :. outstanding vaudeville performers
 
 new speciality dances |. and last but not least a bevy of beautiful girls with stage band of hideho musicians. This stage presentation comes direct from Broadway and will be the finest show that you have ever seen.
 Manager Julia Smith announced to-day that future presentations on the stage will greatly depend upon the way that this one re- ceives, in the way of encourage ment; and it is her intention to regularly present them, if the pat ronage warrants it. Incidently each show of this kind ties up with the presidents campaign of put ting more people to work, the average stage show employing over 40 people. Don't forget {. don't fail to see the biggest stage show hit of the season. On the screen with this presentation is Zazu PiPtts and Slim Summerville in "Her Big Moment" with an all star cast.

POLI'S

Now current at Poli's until Fri day night is one of the most en- tertaining picture programs staged in this town in some time.
 Two superb features make up the program that contains all that is asked for in screen entertain ment-there is comedy, music, dancing, romance, pathos and dra- matics, all blended together to mal.e up an ideal program, that is outstanding.
 The first feature is Kiss and Make Up", the story of famous beauty doctor, who makes the wo- men beautiful. He falls for one of his creations. She happens to be married and makes for a little complications that have to be ironed out, but all works out well
 in the end but while it is unravel-
 ing there is plenty of action. The
 cast in this feature Is made up of
 Cary Grant, Genevieve Tobin, Ed
 ward Everett Horton and the 13
 Wampus Stars of 1884, better
 known as the baby stars, and to
 you the most delectable bunch of
 femininity that you have ever | feasted your eyes on. Another treat
 in this picture is that you will be | able for the first time on the screen to hear Cary Grant sing and
 he will surprise you with the quail ity and color of his voice.
 The second feature Manhattan Love Song is headed by Bob Armstrong, Dixie Lee and Frank lyn Pangborn and here is just what the doctor ordered. .and it's easy to take. Bob Armstrong never had better role as a chauf- feur who takes over the manage ment of Park Avenue penthouse and it's occupants who have gone on the financial rocks, rescues his young mistress from a raid on a
 burlesque house where she's doing a fan dance.... Dixie Lee, the famed southern beauty plays the young lady caught while waving the fan. and Franklyn Fang
 born is all over the screen with
 his unusual brand of comedy. ..
 musical numbers abound aplenty
 in this feature.

 tion, and what a treat this assures l fans of this star,

STRAND

At the cool Strand for the last time to-day Marion Davies is fea- tured, in the Civil war background picture Operator 13". For the Ico-feature The Merry Frinks" lead the way with a laugh in every foot of film. Starting Thursday at the Strand comes the big pic- ture hit of the year in which Mar garet Sullavan plays her most sen- sational role, Little Man, What Now? She is supported in this by Douglas Montgomery.
 The action of the tnire picture takes place in Germany, and the unusual architecture of many of the buildings is said to lend very definite charm to the story.
 One massive "set" is three blocks long, taking in all the activities of busy Berlin street, with its odd surface cars, automobiles and
 horse-drawn vehicles. Other scenes take place at the railway station in the little town of Duche- row, with a strange German train pulling in on wide-guage tracks. Public parks of Berlin come in for attention, as we'll as streets in other sections of the city. There are interior scenes of widely dif- fering types of stores, all in a style distinctly foreign to Ameri- can practice. Still other sequences take place in flamboyantly dec- orated apartment, in a typical German cafe, and in the govern ment insurance offices. Finally, we see Hans and Lammchen, the young couple about whom the story revolves, in a rudely furnished loft to which their poverty has forced them.
 Although, Little Man, What Now?" furnishes in its back grounds an authentic and intensely interesting picture of present-day Germany. The cast supporting Miss Sulla- van and Montgomery includes Alan Hale, Catherine Doucet, Hed- da Hopper, Bodil Rosing, Muriel Kirkland, George Meeker, Moe Marsh and many other popular screen players.

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Already, though it's still August, the broadcasting chains have many new big programs planned for opening in the fall as well as the resumption of others interrupted by the summer. It came as a shock to your columnist, who was right in the midst of vacation plans, to receive accounts from both NEG and Columbia of promising fall features. and it's rather hard at first to realize that in less than a month major activity for the fall and winter will be well underway in the radio field.
 The broadcasting year, to be
 judged fairly, should really
 run from September to Sep
 tember Each fall brings
 new faces and new favOrites,
 as well as the welcome return
 of dependable old standbys
 Each year finds that
 NEG has grabbed of couple
 of former Columbia stars
 while CBS has retaliated in
 kind Radio competition
 goes on and on, and those who
 get to the top certainly de-
 serve all the wealth and credit
 which they receive.
 You'll find lot of changes as Tar as your favorites of the air are concerned The Lombardos are now on NEG, while Burns and Allen will return to CBS nets with out Guy and his Royal Canadians Block and Sully, who won modest fame over WOR and then catapulated to the fore when booked with Rudy Vallee, will ap- pear over the WABC chain :. Tony Wons goes over to NEG for the sponsor who had him on CBS last year Ed Wynn comes back to NEG early in October.
 All in all, it's the biggest
 list of program bookings and
 changes in several years.
