PoWell's return to the screen affords numerous opportuni- ties for his followers to wax more enthusiastically than ever over his versatility that has personally plus.
 Hearts Divided" preceded by Q fanfare of flattering press notices from nationally known critics opens tomorrow at the State theater. While the romance is predomin- ant, the picture has an historical background, with Jerome Bona parte in America as the agent of his brother to negotiate the sale of the Louisiana territory. It brings in many noted characters of the pe- riod, including Napoleon himself, President Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Marshal, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.
 The picture Is lavish one, with mammoth sets and colorful back grounds, while the women are cos- tuned in the gorgeous Empire gowns of the period. Picturesque scenes take place in the Patterson mansion and estate and in the pal ace of the emperor of France.
 Sharing the honors with the two outstanding stars, Miss Davies and MT. Powell, are Charlie Ruggles, Claude Rains, E. Everett Horton, Arthur Preacher and the Hall John son choir. With music and love high- lighting the narrative the public gets a new closeup of the magnifi- cent Marion and the smiling Powell in their period apparel. Miss Davies wears IA gay costumes; hats that are modern in appearance today, but were actually inspired in the early part of the 18th century, and a coiffure that inhances the beauty of the glorious star.

STRAND

The popularity of that attractive duo-Loretta Young and Robert Taylor-is being strongly empha- sized in the most convincing way possible, from the box office point of view. Seeking relief from the weather and finding diversion under ideal, cooling circumstances huns dreds have visited the Warner Brothers Strand theater within the past two days to view Private Num- ber." The heart affairs of mil- lionaire playboy and the servant girl give Miss Young and MT. Tay- Tor in the roles of sweethearts, hus- band and wife, the opportunities to walk down the lane of romance together to meet trouble waiting in ambush at unexpected places. The story is humorously interesting, the acting superb and the settings gor- geous. Tn addition to the two stars are such favorites as Patsy Kelly Basil Rathbone and Marjorie 0ate-

She gives exceptional demonstration that the talent that is winning for her universal acclaim as an actress of the highest order.
