SWING TIME TO | OPEN AT STATE
Fred Astaire and Ginger
 Rogers Starred in Cine- ma Tomorrow

Performances this afternoon and evening mark the final showing of Anthony Adverse" starring Fred eric March with Olivia de Havilland and csat of thousands now show ing at Warner Brothers State the ater. Be sure to see this superb en- tertainment before it leaves town tonight.
 Sparkling with scores of novel features that make it one of the most entertaining f1lmusicals of re- cent years, and another of the spec tacular shows being presented dur ing the States fall greater movie season, Swing Time" with Fred As taire and Ginger Rogers begins its local engagement at the State to- morrow.
 A sensational solo dance in black face y>Fred Astaire, the presenta- ton of the newest ballroom rage, the Swing Waltz, some of the most gorgeous settings ever shown on the screen, a star-spangled supporting cast and brand new type of story for Astaire and Rogers, plus six of the catchiest melodies of Jerome Kern's career, are among the at traction elements of the hilarious musical romance Swing Time"
 Love affairs and complications feature the story plot, with Astaire endeavoring to rid himself of a naughty fiance, Betty Furness, so that he can marry Miss Rogers, at the same time trying to discourage glamorouS orchestra leader, Georges Metaxa, who also has mat rimonial designs on Ginger.
 Victor Moore and Helen Broder- ick, teamed together as one of the funniest troupers ever to reach the screen, head the supporting cast as a pair of we'll meaning but often embarrassing matchmakerS. who innocently provide many of the complications, and much of the comedy, of the film. Eric Blore, the convulsing butler of former As taire-Rogers filmusicals, also has a prominent role in the picture.
 Aglittering aerial night club of mirrors and chromium, moored to the tower of Manhattan's tallest skyscraper, forms one of the breath taking settings of the production. In this unique background, de- signed by John Harkrider of "The Great ziegfeld" fame, Astaire and a host of dancing girls put on the spectacular "Bojangles of Harlem" number, with Astaire, in blackface, doing a tap dance with his hands as well as his feet.
 Another unusual night club set ting, an arresting expanse of the snow-clad Adirondacks in midwin- ter, a theater, a modernistic danc- ing academy and several apartments and hotel suites comprise the rest of the backgrounds in which the fast and tuneful action of the pie ture takes place.
 "The Waltz in Swing Time" said to be the smarteSt innovation in waltzing since its inception, is per- formed as one of several dancing numbers of Astaire and Miss Rog- CTS. Jerome Kern, who wrote "Ro- berta," "Showboat" and many other musical hits, and his lyricist, Dor othy Fields, turned out the songs of the picture, with Pick Yourself Up," Never Gonna Dance" "The Way You Look Tonight" and "A Fine Romance" already soaring to popularity with music lovers.

few of the reasons why '"The Poor Little Rich Girl" is being hailed so highly.
 Shirley, of course, plays the title role. She is seen as the daughter of Michael Whalen, wealthy young business man who is far too occupied making money to devote much time to his daughter.
 Shirley is said to perform aston ishing dances that top everything she has ever done before and she sings five new songs including When I'm With You" "But Def initely," "You Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby" "Oh, My Goodness" and Military Man." The co-feature is Public Enemy's 5 Wife" with Pat O'Brien.

Cradle, a child-placing society in

tended.
In making o plea for a fair ap-
portionment of the expenses Of the
city between the Federal and District
governments, Commissioner Hazen
mentioned the large amount of prop
erty owned by the United States
This, together with the necessity OF
developing the city in accordance

cratic State Central Committee. All
the speakers indorsed the proposal to
give Washingtoniarls representation in
Congress and the right to vote for
President and Vice President.
Hazen said he had been opposed to
suffrage here before he became Com
missioner, but that his experience in
ONCE with local legislative problems
has convinced him of the advisability
Of giving the District representation
in the law-making body.
Commissioner George e. Allen, one
Of the Districts delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention later this
month, will ask the Platform Commit
tee to include a plank in favor Of ma
tional representation for the District

sentatives Of the two major political
parties attending their national con-
ventions make an effort to. have in
serted in the platforms Of each a
plank covering national representa-
ton for the District.
