LEATHER DISPLAY
 SET IN HARTFORD
Elaborate Exposition Will Trace Uses of Products
 for 300 Years

Thanks to the Metropolitan Mu- scum of Art and armour clad knights of old, there will be pa- pier-mache horse to identify the leather goods exhibit in the Connec- ticut Tercentenary Industrial Expo sition at the State Armory in Hart ford. October 2 to F.
 In the old horse and buggy days every town and city had it's har- ness shops. Many of these shops were marked by carved wooden or papier-mache life size horse as a symbol of the trade. With the coming of the motor car the model horse vanished along with great number of the harness shops.
 When the research department of the Tercentenary Industrial Expo sition started search for such a model horse as an historical trade mark of the leather industry, model horses seemed to be as scarce as the extinct cigar store wooden indian. The trail proved cold in one dusty warehouse loft after the other.
 There were cobwebs fin the de- funct harness shops, but none in the brains of the persistent and in- genuis Yankee detectives for the Tercentenary Industrial Exposition Committee. In the polished halls of the Metropolitan the trail at last burned hot. And all because in ages past men made armour for protec- ton in war, because the armour was 50 heavy it could only be worn on horseback, and because the Me- tropolitan gathers armour to exhibit in its halls and corridors.
 Wooden horses that once kept their silent vigil before Connecticut Yankee harness shops now stand amidst the splendor of the Metro politan, bearing on their backs knights in armour, decked out in full panoply with swords to hand anG lances at rest for the fray.
 The Metropolitan got a corner on the papier -mache horse market years ago, but 1t kept the business going. There will be such horse standing guard over the leather goods exhibit at the Corfhecticut Tercentenary Industrial Exposition w..en 1t opens October 2.
 The harness business may have suffered reverses in recent years but not the leather business as 8 whole. The elaborate display at the Expo the leather lingerie drinking cups | At-- most modern shoes, gloves, saddles, and luggage of the 20th century.
 sition will testify to the latter's firm place in modern industry, as well ] as trace the uses of leather from

STATE

Performances this afternoon and evening conclude the engagement al Warher Brothers State theater oi Special Agent" with Bette Davis anl. George Brent, also T Live For Love" with Dolores DelRio, Everett Marshall, Guy Kibbee and Allen Jenkins.
 Tomorrow's brilliant new program will be headlined by "Shipmatet Forever" co-starring Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler.
 This is a sweeping panoramic film, packed with thrills, romance and infectious song. The life oi the naval cadet is presented in all its vivid coloring. He is shown aboard the training ships, on the great battleships of the Pacific fleet, at play and at work, as well as in love.
 "Shipmates Forever" is the most romantic as well as the most thrill ling of the service pictures.
 Never has Powell been given such an opportunity to prove his versa tlity before the screen as in this picture. Not only does he sing many catchy airs in his inimitable manner, but his part calls for real dramatic action, to which he rises with genuine artistry.
 Ruby Keeler was never more winsome and charming than as the orphaned officers daughter, whc fights to keep Dick up to his meta as a student officer of the Navy and the traditions she loves.
 The majority of scenes were talk en at Annapolis and aboard the U 8. s. Pennsylvania, flagship of tho Pacific Fleet, in order to get the real atmosphere of the Navy.
 Lewis Stone, Ross Alexander ant other favorites are in the big sup porting cast. AS an extra added at- traction the management will pre-. sent Dick Betts, novelty organist, al the console of the States mighty Wurlitzer. Don't miss this great show starting tomorrow.

 Hollywood--"When are those movie fellows going to learn some- thing about the United States?" b A newspaper editor asked me that question few days ago while was vacationing in the northwest.
 Judging from hte pictures we see, studio executives never leave Hollywood" he declared. If they did, we wouldn't be handed so many pictures of the same kind. They'd learn plenty about the kind of films people yant to see. And I'll bet we would get a lot more good pictures"
 For years that has been n com mon complaint against Hollywood's movie foguls. They sDend nine or ten months q year in the film cap ital. And when they do get away, they head straight for New York or Europe.
 Many of them know more about Europe than they do about Amer lea. In fact, most of them know very little about this country ex- cept that 1t takes 15 hours to fly from Hollywood to Manhattan.
 Still they claim to cater to pub lie tastes. "We make the kind of pictures the public wants," has been their constant cry.

 Hollywood-You might think that shose gorgeous scenes you see in 50 &1iany of our films would be con- Aaned to the movies, and that the etars. when they are themselves, would go about their daily affairs IA much less pretentious settings.
 well, they do and they don't. krihey do, if they're in the upper kErust of players under contract With Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, and lRhey don't if they have to stick to Rheir fashioned surroundings in any of the other studios.
 ls The reason for this is that M-G-M has set up the leading Nights of its own starry heavens in 0 de luxe apartment studio build- ang that transports the magnif- fcence of the films to everyday life. Here, in Q white stucco structure krimmed with light green wood and leiirrounded by spacious lawn, in .Ehet midst of the M-G-M lot, the i.elite of stardom, only 8 scant doz- ,en altogether, prepares for the Leamera.
 Jean Harlow, Jeanette MacDon- lald. Gloria Swanson, Norma Shear Ter, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, William Powell, Robert Montgom- lery, and & few select others, are the tenants.

 IRefIect the Stars
 And the dressing rooms of old If1ave become suites - luxurious Apartments which convey the per sonalities of their owners. Jean 1larlow,s, for instance, is a plati- numb lond extravaganza, from the woodwork on the walls to the very lamp shades and window hangings
 Jeanette MacDonald's suite is a caressing combination of blue and Ifose. Joan Crawford has her rooms Finished in cherry red, somber blue Iand white. Norma Shearers is fur ifished in chartreuse green and to- paz. with background of beige.
 The furniture. of course, is picked by each artist and matches her own temperament.
 The same for the men-roomy convenient suites refiecting the personalities of their occupants Clark Gable lolls about in sitting room of knotty pine walls and stur- ldy, but comfortable, furniture. Bot Montgomery's living room is very mush like Gables, except that Cla yk's draperies are deep red and Bob's are tasteful blue. No Backstage Stuff
 That's just the living room. Next to t is the dressing room, each o1 1.-the suites for both men and wo- linen having modern mirrorec room for makeup.
