STATE

Performances to-day and tomor- row conclude the engagement of "The Three Musketeers" and Ship Cafe", current attractions at Warm CT Brother State theater.
 Saturday brings Millions Tn the Air, the farcial romance which Paramount has turned out as a gentle jibe at prevailing radio am- ateur programs and which has va riety to give it everything needed to make first class entertainment.
 From the first to the final gong this picture moves swiftly. So many things happen that it is use- less for a reviewer to attempt to tell it all. The amateur-hour theme makes it possible for the pro- ducers to introduce about 8 dozen different acts, all suitably fused into the main story, which con- cerns the romance of young saxo- phone player and the daughter of the radio programs sponsor.
 Wendy Barrie, the talented Britt ish actress, and John Howard, a new and refreshing screen person. ality, have the romantic leads in Millions In the Air" George Bar bier, unquestionably one of the f1n- est character actors on stage or screen, is the soap-selling sponsor. And there is no end of comedy in the picture, contributed mainly by Willie Howard, Dave Chasen and Benny Baker.
 Willie Howard is exceptionally well cast as an Italian vegetable peddler with a yearning to sing "Rigoletto" while Chasen brings one of the stages funniest episodes his one-man orchestra-to the pie ture.
 All in all, romance intermingles with comedy, and above all, new dancing star-Eleanore whitney appears in the picture. Her dance routines are alone worth your time in Millions In the Air"
 The companion feature will offer Edmund Lowe in ''The Great Im- perscnation", a rousing mystery drama in which Lowe plays a dual role. He is given excellent support by Valerie Hobson, Vera Engels, Lumsden Hare and others.
 Don't forget next Monday night is '"The Big Mite" at the State, in- stead of Wednesday.

Special to The Denocrat)

woodbury, Dec. 19.-Robert Jud- son, local pharmacist, once more was the victim of a well planned robbery last night or early this morning. Upon entering his place of business at 6 o'clock this morn- ing his first customer, a well known resident here, purchased pack of cigarettes and when the register had been rung up the proprietor discovered that the $50 or more left there at closing time last night was missing.
 One consolation MT. Judson en- joyed, however, was the fact that Q considerably larger amount of cash, hidden close to the register, was still evident, apparently having not been noticed by the successful providers. No clues were available at press time, but the local constables were conducting a thorough investigation. All windows were locked and no doors broken.
 Right next to the pharmacy yes- terday 8 counterfeit dollar bill was passed on a clerk at Georges Mar

ESSAY CONTESTS


Mothers of school children in
Ohio have been asked by Gov.
Martin ]. Davey to urge their chill
dren to participate in the national
essay contest being sponsored by
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
The governor, in a statement.
pointed out that the social advan-

the housing program are limitless,
and that the economic advantage
is found in the general stimulation
of industry.
Governor Davey said in part:
Actually, this is contest In
which nobody can lose. The ex-
haustive study of the better-hous-
ing program on the part of school
children will not only have a, BEN
eficial effect upon them, 1t will all
so concentrate the attention Of
their parents on a project that
should contribute much to our ma
tioral happiness"
