 The new production is said to outclass the New York stage pre- sentation and is breaking records across the nation. In Show Boat" the Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammer stein music retains all its appeal. The songs which are inseparable from the play are featured in the film and three new tunes were created by the same pair for the l936 version.
 The production is musical roc mantle drama, centering on the love story of Magnolia and Rave nal, dashing river gambler and heart breaker. Most of the action takes place aboard Captain Andy Hawks Mississippi show boat, with some sequences in. New York, Chi- cago and in France.
 The cast contains eight princi- pals in roles they played in the stage production. Irene Dunne por- trayed Magnolia in the first road company. Allan Jones, featured oposite her as Ravenal, first in- terpreted the character in a St.. Louis stock company.
 Those who appeared in the orig inal New York company include Charles Winninger as Captain Andy Helen Morgan as Julie; Francis x. Mahoney as Rubberface and Sammy White as Schultz. Paul Robeson, singer of "Old Man River" played Joe in the first London off, ering. There is singing chorus of 20 Oyoices and a cost of $500.

 Hollywood-Short takes: Easiest Job in town is that of belonging to the cast of Early to Bed" One af- ter another, the director and prom anent members of the cast have been confined to bed--for illness, not acting. And Mary Roland and Charles Ruggles have been photo- graphed in the hay for days at Q stretch.
 Talkietown is making 8 bid az Q convention city. Several of the vast sound stages are large enough for conventions, and with plenty of loudspeaker equipment. War ners have turned, over one to the American Legion.
 That refrigerated stage built by e local ice company is booked solidly for the rest of the season. First to use the natural snow and ice facilities was Republic, with a Jimmy Dunn-Mae Clark item; and now Frank Capra is filming part of Lost Horizon" there.

 pleasant summer job: A col

 Billie Burke, long out of the pie ture, is in 8 dither of activity. Signed 6 contract with M-G-M, now is appearing in legitimate play, and soon will bow to the cameras as Fred Stones wife in "The Count of Arizona"

BERRY TOPSCAST
 IN POLL PICTURE
"A Message to Garcia" Heads Double Bill Open.
 ing Tomorrow

Today's performances will con- clude the engagement of the great double feature program held over a week. "Pettitcoat Fever" with Rob- ert Montgomery and Myrna Loy and "The Unguarded Hour" with Loretta Young, Franchot Tone, Lewis Stone and Roland Young have thrilled thousands who have eeen this extra ordinary program,
 Tomorrow, another double-feature program that stands out above the ordinary run of two pictures presented on one bill, will start a four day engagement at Polls.
 Wallace Beery, Barbara Stanwyck and John Boles, three great stars together for the first time, enact their greatest roles in, "A Message to Garcia" that beloved star, Will Rogers in "A Connecticut Yankee" will be shown on the same bill.
 Boles is the man who carries the message to Garcia in the jungle in- terior, a message that will change destinies of three nations. For a companion he takes Wallace Beery, an amusing rogue who is half traitor, half hero.
 When they discover the man who was to guide them to Garcia has been killed, they take his daughter, Barbara Stanwyck, to show them the way.
 Hardship, peril, adventure, faced together in the treacherolls jungle draws Boles and Miss Stanwyck to each other. But, when she is wounded, Boles carries on bravely with his mission, leaving her behind 1n care of Beery.
 The nerve scraping climax of the picture approaches when Beery re- appears and leads Boles into what he mistakenly thinks is Garcia's camp, actually the stronghold Of Boles' enemies.
 A heroic charge led by Beery frees Boles from the clutches of his cap- tors, makes possible the re1oining of the lovers and brings the picture to Q happy close.
 Many consider Mark TWain's "A Connecticut Yankee" as played by Will Rogers, as the best picture the beloved star made. It has been se- 1ected to play return engagement at the request of hundreds who wish to see the late comedian once again.
 How this whimsical Yankee revo- lutionizes the business of knight hood, installs bathtubs in medieval England and astounds them all with magic is revealed in the film.
 Beautiful Myrna Loy plays op- posite Rogers supported by Maureen O'aullivan, William Farnum, Frank AlhCrtson and over 5000 extras.

HollyWood--It wasn't so many years ago that servants, advertising for jobs, almost always appended this warning: No movie families considered"
 That was in the day, too, when house-renting agents sternly stated in their listings: No screen players need apply"
 Opinions have changed good deal. Landlords now are eager to lease their houses and estates to flicker celebs; and the latter, in turn, do their renting by proxy, so they won't be charged e%orbitant rates.
 Servants, too, arc glad enough to work for stars, now that Hollywood has passed the orgy era. A per feet jewep of a butler is likely to make more money in service than if he were an actor playing butler roles for the screen.
 
 Cooks Glve-Away
 One of the bitterest family feuda in talkietown began when & direc- tor and his wife went to dinner at the home of a producer. The pro- ducer's wife put on a rather nau- seating amount of dog, and dwelt long upon the skill and loyalty of her cook--quite the finest cook this side of Paris, m-dear.
 So the directors wife quietly hired the cook away--paid him enough to quit without notice or ex- planation. Three evenings later the producer and his wife went to din- ner at the directors home.
 The hostess didn't brag about her cook, but the food was superb. Not only superb, but distinctive in- cludlng the guests favoritc dish- es. Two bites confirmed their sus- picionG of treachery. They went away choking.
 Wrong Language
 Josephine Hutchinson departed for the studio one morning after leaving a long, detailed note of in- structions for her Swedish maid to oversee preparations for a dinner party that evening. Returning with her guests, Miss Hutchinson found no preparations made. The maid blandly admitted she had found the note. all right, but she couldn't read English.

Dominion Teams
In Openers

Opening-day ceremonies are
quite the vogue at this time Of the
baseball year, particularly with
the sandlotters.
The Old Dominion League is the
latest group to get started. These
teams, which hail from nearby
Virginia, have arranged their pro.
grams Of ceremonies, the most
elaborate of which will be held on
the Clarendon Business Mems dia-
mond in Clarendon, Va.
The Clarendon Business Men
and Mclean mines meet in this
game. The former won the cham.
pionship last year. Maybe that's
why more attention is directed to
the ceremonies for this contest
than any other.
The two teams march to the
flag pole to begin the program.
Will P. Ames, member Of the
Arlington County Board, will lead.
When the flag is reached, Ames
will make a short speech. Then
will come the march back to home
plate where George M. Yeatman,
chairman of the Arlington County
Board, will toss out the first ball.
All this begins at 2::45 p. m. The
game is at 3 o'clock.
Park Lane meets the Virginia
White Sox, ForeStville engages
Clarendon Cardinals, and Nokes-
vile plays the Clarendon A. c. in
the other games.
