JAMES COOPER'S
 DRAMA AT STATE
The Last of the MOhicans' Heads Double Bill
 Tomorrow

The producers who made "The Count of Monte Cristo" have done it again! This time they have brought to the screen, with a mag nificent cast, "The Last of the Mo- hicans', James Fenimore Cocper's immortal classic of the hand-tO-h hand struggle for a nation yet unborn, and have turned out another lin- forgettable picture which is top- notch entertainment as well as a film of truly epic proportions.
 The picture is already being hailed as the outstanding dramatic cinema achievement of the year It begins 8 four day engagement at Warner Brothers State. theater to- morrow headlining a brilliant double feature program.
 As depicted by one of the greatest casts in the memory of this re- viewer, Cooper,s colorful characters come to a warm and pulsating life on the screen.
 Brilliant performances are turned in by Randolph Scott as Hawkeye, the primitive man of the forest, whom Cooper made his hero; lovely Binnie Barnes, who is ideally cast as Alice Munro the British Coloners daughter, who loves him; Henry Wilcoxon, who plays the gallant Major Duncan Heyward, Hawkeye's rival for the heart of Alice; Bruce Cabot, who, with shaved scalp and scalplock, makes a perfect Magua, the renegade Indian spy; pretty Heather Angel as Cora the sister of Alice, whose death leap from the heights of Lovers Cliff is one of the big thrills of the picture; and Phillip Reed as Uncas, the Hast of the Mohicans." Others who are outstanding are Robert Barrat as Chingachgook, the Mohican chief. Hugh Buckler, as Colonel Munro. and Willard Robertson as the Go. lonial Captain Winthrop.
 Unforgettable moments in this unforgettable picture are the canoe- chase, with Uncas guiding Cora to safety through a shower of enemy arrows; the French attack on Fort William Henry, last stronghold ot the British and Americans; and the savage war dance of the Huron tribe.

DODSWORTK' TOPS POLI'S FEATURES
Walter Huston in Title Role of Sinclair Lewis
 Smash Hit

Tonight will be the last showing of the current double feature show ing at Polls. The two big features include Walking On Air" with Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern and the second features Ralph BellaIny and Marguerite Churchill in 'eThe Final Hour"
 Tomorrow marks the opening of the third big his on the Poli New Movie Season schedule. As 8 novel, Sinclair Lewis "DodSworth" was a best-seller. Adapted to the stage with Walter Huston in the title role it was a smash hit and ran almost two years on Broadway. Now, trans lated into celluloid by the same writer, with Huston again playing Sam DodSworth and given a magni- flcent production by the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer producers "Dods- worth" has the best features of the book and the play, and adding sev- eral of it's own. This picture emer- ges on the screen of the Poli the ater tomorrow as the finest piece of entertainment we have seen in many seasons.
 Brilliantly acted by perfect cast, headed by Walter Huston, Ruth Chattertcn, Mary Astor, Paul Lukas, and David Niven this absorbing film tells the story of a hard-work- ing, successful middle-Western bus iness man who retires to travel and turns to Europe to rest and dabble In culture but his pretty selfish wife decides to have one last fling at romance before facing middle age and thereby hangs 8 tale. Any woman who is married or ever in- tends to be married cannot afford to miss this marvellous picture.
 Just recently this picture was picked as. the best for the month of September by one of the leading movie magazines and from advance write-ups Walter Huston is destined to receive the Academy Award for his brilliant acting in this his latest triumph.
 The motion picture, more than any medium this reporter can men, tion, is causing us to look squarely at life as this generation is meet ing it. This is the thought suggest cd by the second feature which accompanies "Dodsworth." Sworn Enemy" with Robert Young and Florence Rice is, briefly realistic stuly of the high-handed gentle me,a who are attracting so much current attention from the G-Men. With Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone and Nat Pendleton aiding these two youngsters this picture is packed with some of the fastest moving ac- tiol ever seen on the screen. Torn from to-day's headlines this picture floods to the screen as the most sem sational melodrama of the year. Find out for yourself how these rats operate and sell millions of pro tecEon" each year.

N OLLYWoo o .
By Paul Harrison

Hollywood-Only in the cimena city are directors important per- sonalities. Probably not one in a hundred of the nations average fans knows or cares as much about the men who really make pictures as he does about the minor charac- ter players in those same films.
 In Hollywood it's different. Here directors are respected as creators as well as co-ordinators. Acting careers are made or broken by good or bad jobs of direction. Great stars who look down their noses at the work of rival stars are glad enough to visit rival studios and ob- serve the methods of famous di- rectors. The latter are, themselves, the best showmen in Hollywood.
 Robert z. Leonard, former ope- ra baritone, can be heard two stag es away booming out orders in a voice that used to shake the sec ond balcony. Tod Browning is the best story-teller; keeps his cast re- faxed between shots. William We'll man is town clown, great gagster, and a tough talker. But he is one of the fastest and most consistently successful directors.
 The quietest directors are Wesley Ruggles and King Vidor; they won't tolerate horseplay. Ruggles is a great one for dramatic intensity. Vidor is a stickler for detail of sets, lighting, costumes. After every scene he removes his gold-rimmed spectacles and gazes at the spot where the action has just taken place,

CHINA CLIPPER
 COMES TO OSTRAND
GIamOrOns Romance of Air Starts Sunday-Navy
 Ace Author

Performances today and tomor- row conclude the engagement of ''The Road To Glory" and "Love Begins At POI, current feature at- fractions at Warner Brothers Strand theater,
 Sunday brings "China Clipper" a glamorouS romance of the air, marking a milestone in the pictorial history of daring aviation.
 There is an exceptionally talented cast which includes Pat OBrien, Beverly Roberts, Ross Alexander, Humphrey Bogart, Marie Wilson and Henry B. Walthall in the principal roles.
 The picture treats of the daring long distance flights of the pioneers of aviation, men who gambled with death to drive their ships through storm and fog to make regular air service possible.
 While the story itself is fictitious, it is based, to 8 large extent, on the hazardous flights of the famous China Clipper of the Pan-American AirWays which not so long ago es- tablished an air service between Alameda, on the Pacific coast near San Francisco, and the Philippine Islands.
 A replica of the giant Clipper ship was built at the First National studios for interior scenes, while the exteriors were taken at the air base at Alameda with the real CEp- per playing an important part ID the picture, and at the Catalina 1s- lands because of its tropical foliage.
 The story is by Commander Frank Wead, famous Navy flying ace, with William I. Van Dusen, of the Pan-American Airways, serving as technical advisor.
 The companion feature will be "Jailbreak" with June Travls, Craig Reynolds, Barton MacLane. Richard Purcell and 8 score Of other favorites.
 Again Warner Brothers screen headlines before the ink is dry Can 8 racketeer ever quit the game? Can he escape underworld vengeance even in jail? See the answers to these timely questions in another sensationally thrilling drama from the producers of "Bul- lets or Ballots"

A Change-JiggIer
 Directors have more little person. al eccentricities than are allowed most of the stars. I have mentioned Cecil B. DeMille's costumes, jewels, chairtoter, and Napoleonic manner. And nervous players are driven to the jeebies by his constant jingling of pocketful of change.
 Mervyn LeRoy, who is small and alternately cherubic and sarcastic, smokes big cigars. They have made him stoop- -shouldered. Ernst Lu- bitsch, also short and Stocky, al- ways has big cigar in his mouth. Lubitsch is the only director with whom Marlene Dietrich likes to work.

 Lang Gets Gate
 Miss Dietrich and Ruth Chatter ton were the most frequent visitors on the set of Fury" which was di- rected by Fritz Lang. Lang also acts with his players, and is me- ticulous craftsman. He was a week behind schedule in finishing his picture-although no retakes were necessary-and his contract was not renewed by M-G-M Walter Wang CT snapped him up.
 About that time W. s. Van Dyke brought in San Francisco" ahead of schedule. Van Dyke is consid- cred one of the fastest of the top notch directors, yet in this case more than two weeks of retakes delayed release of the picture. He was complimented.
 Lang, who had done what is per- haps the most striking directorial job of the year, was fired.
 Works Backward
 Sidney Lanfield always carries a cane on the set. Frank Borzage holds small bamboo stick. Borzage is the only director who ever works with his back to set. Sometimes, weary of trying to decide which ac- tion is best, he turns away and merely listens to the voices.
 William Dieterle, one of the two or three best-loved and most con- scientious directors in talkietown, always wears immaculate white gloves. Sometimes glossy kid, sometimes f1oppy cotton. Can't bear getting his hands dirty; or his gloves, either-changes them Sever- al times day.
