CHINA ATTACKS
 YELLOW PRESS
Mosquito News paper s Find It Expedient to
 Keep Moving

Shanghai, (UP)-Authorities are engaged in Q war on the "mosqui- to press," a phenomenon peculiar to China.
 Mosquito" newspapers are 50 named because their editors "fy" from place to place. Published one day in one place and the next day in another, these sheets present a constant problem to the police and government officials. Always sen- sational, the mosquito" papers generally attack the Nanking gov- ernment or local officials. but some- times are devoid of political inter- est and devote themselves to black mail of prominent Chinese resi- dents.
 The mosquito press'' ha s thrived on the conflict of interna- tional jurisdiction prevailing in Shanghai and other treaty ports where foreign concessions are lo- cated. Newspapers attacking the Chinese government generally have taken refuge in the International Settlement, quickly. moving to the French concession when inves- tigated. On the other hand, the anti-foreign newspapers h ave waged their editorial campaigns from the fastnesses of Chinese ter. ritory.
 Until now lack of police coordi- nation has prevented a real clean up, but Q recent agreement be- tween officials of the settlement, French concession and Chinese areas has resulted in a concerted drive to stamp out all mosquito" organs. Similar offensives have been launche din Peiping, Tientsin and Hankow, where numerous for eign settlements exist.
 Papers of a definitely radical tone are the special objective of police, who have conducted a se- ries of raids on printing plants suspected of producing the "mos- quito" organs. The difflculty en. countered, however, Is that even when the publication office Is To. cated and issues of the paper. con- fiscated, the editor usually escapes detection and in a few days brings out the same paper in a new loca- tion; or starts new publication with the same principles.

Besides this very popular star there are others in the cast that also rank with the best in pictures in- cluding Ann Shirley, Eugene Pal lette.

STATE

Even better than "The Gay Di- vorcee" and Roberta! So ex- clairasd the capacity houses that greeted "Top Hat" newest of the Freq Ginger Rogers CO., starring music comedies which opened . weeks run at the War. ner Jtate theater on Saturday.
 Singing and dancing to i've new hit tunes by Irving Berlin, the stars unquestionably set . new high for screen hits in this wildly applaud ed picture.
 As was to be expected, the two stars introduce aNnumber of sem sational new dances. These are climaxed by the Italian havored "Pikcolino," which is their com pletsly satisfying answer to the "Carioca" and the Continental" Their singing, too, Is very pleas ing and in general they invest their characterizations with in- imitable verve and appeal.
 Splendid support is accorded by a comedy cast which h as seldom been matched on stage or screen. It includes Helen Broderick, bril- liant comedienne of the Broad way stage, Edward Everett Hor- ton, Erik Rhodes and Erie Blorc, the butler of "rhe Gay Divorcee." This crew does not let comedy let down for an instant.
 @lsnding romance with gay comedy "Top Hat" tells a light, thoroughly intriguing and at all times plausible story, with never a lag or a dull moment.
 Tn short, "Top Hat" produced for RKO Radio by Pandro g.. Berman, is the essence of satis- flying entertainment. Audiences will enjoy every one of the inci- dental dance and music high- lights. such as "No Strings" "Get Thee Behind Me, Satan" 'Top Hat" and "Cheek to Cheek"
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies this outstanding feature attraction. Because of the fact that it is playing a weeks en- gigement and in order to accom- m date many more regular Wed. ncsday night patrons, $250 Regis tration Night" will be held on Fri- day this week instead of Wednes- day ay in the past. Make q note of this and tell your friends to be at the state Friday night.
