POLI'S

Capacity crowds attended Polls over the week end to see two of the years best features presented on one program. "Petticoat Fever" and the "Unguarded Hour" are the pie lures and are played by host of outstanding and popular stars.
 Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy are the featured players in "Pettlcoat Fever" in c mirth-mak- ing, high-class comedy filled with hilarious situations, excitement and romantic sequences as only Robert Montgomery and the beautiful Myrna Loy can portray them.
 "Petticoat Fever" was taken in far off Labrador where Robert Mont- gomery, working as a wireless oper- ator, has been exiled from the rest of the world, especially white wonl- en, for two years. It 80 happens that Myrna Loy and her intended husband are forced to land their air. plane near Montgomery's station as 1t runs out of fuel. Montgomery falls in love with Myrna immedi- ately and to prevent her from leav" ing, refuses to send any messages for help, thereby holding her Q vir- tual prisoner. She resentS his love making at the beginning but even- tually succumbs to 1t and just when Montgomery's future begins to look rosy who appears, but the girl who he has been engaged to for two years. She fully intends to marry Montgomery. The "freworks" begin and you will laugh as heartily as the thousands who saw "Petticoat Fever" Saturday and Sunday.
 The co-feature "The Unguarded Hour" is played by Loretta Young. Pranchot Tone. Lewis stone, Roland Young and many other outstand- ing actors.
 These two pictures contain every thing motion picture "fan" de- sires; one an amusing comedy with plenty of romance, the other excite- ment. mystery, romance and drama.
