In The Local TheaterS
STATE

Featuring Fred Stone and Jean Parker, and based on Phil Stong's s widely read novel, "The Farmer In the Dell" opens 8 three-day en- gagement at Warner Brothers State theater to-day as an entertainment natural" in every sense of the term.
 The story of kindly, retired Iowa farmer who keeps his sense of true values when the lightning of motion picture fame strikes him, fits Stones personality and talents as though it had been written to order for him. Pa Boyer, the farm CT who turns actor, is a simple hearted, 1ovable, homespun charac- ter, but man of extraordinary in- telligence and clear vision. And Fred Stone is known as just such a character, a sincere, kindly and genuine gentleman, unaffected by the international fame that has come his way in his fifty years in the show business.
 Comedy, romance and drama are blended in the production, with Jean Parker and Frank Albertson carrying the love interest. Esther Dale, as Ma Boyer has rich com- edy role.
 The companion feature is "The Walking Dead", the strangest and most unusual mystery thriller ever screened. Boris Karloff has the stellar role while the brilliant cast includes Ricardo Cortez, Edmund Gwenn, Marguerite Churchill, War ren Hull, Barton MacLane and Henry ONeill.
 Al Jolson is coming to the State on Saturday in "The Singing Kid", his first picture in 8 year and the greatest musical hit of his career.

 Japanese Competition
 Thread manufacturers reported lack of business because of coun- try-wide garment strikes. Cotton has been affected by importations from Japan and silk concerns were on their toes meeting southern competition.

 The velvet industry at Williman- tic is just beginning to recover from a long layof due to strikes.

many months ago the old Hagerstown

HUSKIES JUST
 4 YEARS LATE
Phelan Predicted He Would Have Rose Bowl
 Team in l032

SEATTLE, Dec. 28.-Coach Jimmy Phelan missed his guess by four long years when he gave the Uni versity of Washington the Pacific coast conference football champion ship this season.
 When Phelan came to Washing ton in 1880, just after winning the Big Ten title at Purdue, he forecast that he would give the Huskies a winning combination within three years.
 Washington supporters took this to mean that he would win the coast championship in that length of time. They had to wait seven years, however, to see the HuSkieS roll into the Rose Bowl but it was worth it the way Phelan's charges knocked off every Pacific coast con- ference opponent except Stanford this season. The Indians held the Huskies to 14-14 tie.
 Now Phelan rates tops with the alumni and everybody else in town, and he is in line for nice new con- tract-possibly for three years.
 Last season Washington gave him only 1-year contract after some of the boys began to talk.
 In conference and non-conference competition the last seven years Phelan has won S9 games, lost IS and tied 5.
