driver with a fighting propensity
becomes embroiled in a midwest
milk strike, kidnapping and sew
eral fights. He lands in prison

STATE THEATRE
MONDAY and TUESDAY

MONDAY and TUESDAY
The Gay Bride (MGM) Dir:
Jack Conway. Cast: Carole
Lombard, Chester Morris, Zazu
Pitts, Nat Pendleton.
The activities and tactics of
racketeers and bootleggers. an
Objectionable underworld atmos-
phere and the mad adventures of
an ambitious, goid-digging show
girl make up the material used
in a weak, boring and poorly d.
rected story. The sudden refor-
nation of the girl when she falls
in love with a poor but honest
office boy strikes an artificial
and inconsistent note. Not con-
sidered wholesome or worthwhile
entertainment.
WEDNESDAY

Cast: George Bancroft, Francis
Fuller, Roscoe Harms.
From the play by George 8.
Kaufman and Marie Connolly. An
amusing comedy motiyated By
the alleged influence of "the lit
tie woman" in furthering the
careers of most husbands. Light
entertainment for family audi
ences.
THURSDAY
Side Streets First National)
Dir: Alfred Z. Green. Cast: Paul
Kelly, Aline MacMahon, Ann
Dvorak, Helen Lowell.
A good cast does it's best with
a weak theme, based on a story,
EUR Coats" by Ann Garrick
and Ethel Hill, which concerns
the unfaithfulnss of a shiftless,
philandering husband. Aline
MacMahon, as the keen business
woman who marries the sailor,
does expert work but to little
purpose. Commonplace, perkily
developed, slightly sorbid and a
waste of time. Adult suitability.

travail of "Shand" is as subtle as
it is masterful. He is oblivious
to the fact that his wife's guild

forward step in his career until
he awakens to the realization
that is is because he has been
standing in the shadow of his
own egoism that he has been UNI
able to see her greatness. His
humility when he does awaken
reveals the fine quality in his

PAUL DEAN STARTS BROTHERS TOWARD. AS GAME COAL
Younger of Pitching Stars Shut Out Cubs-JOhnny
 Moore Hit Homer
BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Stan Correspondent


 New York. April 19 (U.P.)-l Dizzy Deans assertion that Men Paul will win 45 for the Cardinals" echoed like another laugh among his verbal acrobatics when Freddy Lndstrom knocked him into the hospital, but the Deans have bounced back now.
 With Dizzy on the St Louis bench believing encouragement, Daffy got busy on his share of those 45 yesterday by hurling al ehutout in his first 1885 appear ance. In that one performance he changed the Dean duets drab start into promise of fulfilling Dizzy's optimistic forecast.
 Slick Work
 Pitching the series final against the Cubs, who halted Dizzy in the first inning of the first game with Lindstrom's smash to his ankle. Daffy to-day brought on a fresh buzz of opinion that he Is the bet ter of the two. He permitted only one Cub to reach third in an eight. hit, to victory.
 Six of those Cubs came up, took their cuts and sat down, as Daffy toiled and waited for the one break he needed. It came in the sixth in- ming, when Joe Medwick. famous vegetable man of the last world series, smashed one of the five hits allowed by Larry French far and away for homer and the only run of the game.
 With that victory as starter, Dizzy, who insists he is ready to go again, will take his turn against the Pittsburgh Pirates as the series scene shifts.
 Tn contrast to the domination of pitchers in the Card-Cub game was the swinging-from-th of batters as the Philadelphia Ma tionals defeated Brooklyn, 10 to 9 in 10, innings.
 Seven home runs poured from the bats of the two clubs, to give the National League a total of 12 in three days in contrast to six in the American League. Dolph Cam illi, Phillies infielder, contributed two yesterday and Linus Frey of the Dodgers hit his second in two days.
 Moore Homers
 Leslie and Boyle also connected for the Dodgers. Johnny Moore and Watkins rapped others for the Phils, who won in the last half of the 10th on the double of Johnny Vergez, an infield out and Mike Haslin's pinch single.
 The curtailed National League slate was completed by the Cin- cimnati Reds 14-hit, to 4 victory over the Pirates.
 Young and bespectacled Johnny Broaca right-handed the Yankees out of their two-defeat slump with an eight-hit, to shutout over the Red Sox. The Senators made it
