LAUGH HIT OPENS
 AT STATE TODAY
"The Bride Comes HOme'' Amazing Con- lv Starr
 ring Claudette Colbert

The first brilliant comedy TO- nance of the new year comes to Warner Brothers State theater to- day with the opening of "The Bride Comes Home," co-starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray who were last seen together in "The Gilded Lily"
 Tn Q day when 1t is dificult to get away from the patterned story this tale of Q modern boy and girl who can't spend five minutes to- gether without fighting, yet who find they can't stay away from each other, is as refrshing as Q spring breeze in the hill country.
 Miss Colbert is the daughter of a Chicago financier who becomes distressingly broke. Though reared in great luxury, the girl neverthe- less has plenty of spuiak, and decides to go to work. Robert Young, 6 childhood sweetheart, has just iSl- herited three million dollars but Claudette feels she would prefer get- ting job to marrying him.
 EShe does go to work, as assist- ant editor of the magazine Young publishes, where she is made assist ant to the editor, Fred MacMurray. MacN6urray is Q hard -boiled, rough- spoken fellow who resents Miss Col bert's presence. They fight from the moment they meet.

MORTGAGE LOANS FOLLOW NEW IDEA
All Being Made in Accord. ance With Federal
 Housing Plan

Brooklyn, N. Y, Jan. 4-Most of the mortgage loans now being made whether insured or not, are being
 made in accordance with the mort. gage plan of the federal housing administration according to Robert M. Catharine, former deputy ad.
 ninistrator In charge of the nlort- gage insurance system, and now comptroller of the Brevoort Savings Bank of Brooklyn.
 T definitely feel that the federal housing administration can take credit nj being responsible for more credit in being responsible for more Catharine said, flor ct the time the national housing act was passed by congress the common practice was and had been to grant mortgage loans which ran for c period of three or five years and which con- tained no provisions for aIliortixa- ton.
 "Through the educational efforts of the federal housing administra- ton to establish more sound mortgage financing system the practice of granting short term un- amortiEed mortgage loans Is rapidly becoming c thing of the past 30 that 1t Is now more customary to make long term mortgages on an amortized basis for c higher pers centage of the appraised value to avoid the necessity of second and third mortgage financing"
 "There iS also Q growing tendency to request the borrower to include in his periodic payments of princi- pal and interest 6 portion of his taxes and fire insurance as is re. uuired under the insuree mortgage plan. This makes it simpler for the borrower to meet his obligations as there are no large lump sum outlays but only small periodic payments commensurate with his income. This nationwide influence on mortgage lending is Q tribute to the lmortgage insurance system and iia- dicates that the volume of mort. gages selected for appraisal by the inBuring ofiices of the federal hous. ing administration, which has pass. cd tfys e2b0, ,000,000 mark, represents | only c portion of the real effect of the federal housing administration's plan on the mortgage market of the country. The soundness of the insured mortgage plan and especially the careful appraisal and risk rating procedure which Is mandatory will, MT. Catharine believes, prevent Q recurrence of the period Of whole- sale foreclosures we have just been through. To date not Q single piece of property hes been turned over | to the federal housing administrator and there has been no occasion to
 issue the 8 per cent government guaranteed debentures, provided for ia the national housing act, in OK. change for foreclosed property.

 ON POLL SCREEN
''The Littlest Rebel" On Same Bill With "A Feath-
 CT in Her Hat"

Still they come and the wonder from where, all this week, in addi- ton to the special midnite preview, the sensational film, "The Littlest Rebel", with Shirley Temple and an all-star cast continues to tax the capacity of the spacious Poll The- atre.
 On the same program there will be Q companion feature, "A Feath- CT Tn Her Hat" which co-stars Pauline Lord and Basil Rathbone.
 The program selected for next wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be one that will make the resi- dents and theater-goers of this ter- ritory applaud when 1t is an- nounced. The first feature will be the popular Myrna Loy teamed with Spencer Tracy in @ comedy with drama, by the writer of, Tt Hap- pened One Night. The title of this picture will be, "Whipsaw". This team bids fair to outshine 'Mr. and Mrs. Thin Man" and you surely couldn't ask for more than that.
 On the same program and mak- ing the proper balance for a film show as companion feature there will be Edward Everett Horton in Q nadcap comedy, "Your Unclie Dudley. This popular funster is cast as Q crooner who can't seem to get anywhere ct all, but while he is lost in the fog you will have some of the most hilarious mo- ments of your life.

 Hollywood = A dogs life is one of the very best lives in Hollywood. or course, I am speaking of the hoity-toity, or non.professional, dogs, belonging to movie people, and not those which are performers in their own right, following rigorous routines and working hard to buy biscuits and bones for their masters.
 The town, and the limousines thereof, gre full of rare and exotic breeds looking like creatures out of an Alley Cop cartoon, or Silly symphony. Everybody wants to own the first Keehond, Schipperke, saluki, Lhassa terrier, Tibetall spaniel, or Papillon in Hollywood.
 Hollywood has more pet hospi. tals and dog beauty shops and boarding kennels to the block than any other town in the world. Some of the hospitals have x-ray rooms, maternity wards, and obstetricialaS'
 The stars try to outdo one afl- other In being kind to their animals When Gloria 0oofus puts in Q ynin- iature shower bath for her pooch, Lorraine LaLuve is sure to equip her put with on automatic 1lea- catcher.
 Friendly Cur
 Mae Vests dog Is named Marion. Marion is Q husky French bull, ana Is homlier than James Timony. He Is more ainiable than Miss West, but Is developing on inferiority complex; he is always inviting other dogs tc come up and see him some time, bul none of them ever shows up. Marion has things pretty easy though; he rides around In Q pig car, eats specially prepared food and sleeps on Q luxurious rig In the West boudoir.
 Edgar Allen Woolf, ace M.G-M scenarist, has achieved distinction by owning Q mutt. You have to amount to quite c lot hereabout before you can afford to own Q pup without c pedigree.
 The Woolf dog sleeps In Q min. iature mansion, complete even to Q mall box, with pictures of some of Hollywood's canine aristocrats hanging on the walls.
 When they're not eating chicken a la king and snoozing in patios, some of the blooded pets have to play personal appearances at the dog shows. Robert Montgomery, Stuart Erwin, and Dolores Del RIO are among the owner.exhibitors. For Profit or Publicity
 Three film players raise dogs TOT profit, Edward Everett Horton says he makes money with his St. Ber' nards, which are handy for carrying around casks of brandy ct parties. stuart Erwin breeds scotties. Charles Ruggles, as must have mentioned before, Is the big terrier man or California.
 one reason Q dog Is likely to DO Q movie stars best friend is that 1t never betrays any secrets. Also, ,it doesn't plead for influence m

getting It's relatives jobs in the stu- dios. Thirdly, 1t looks awfully cute in publicity pictures.
 Almost Human
 Few dogs are too smart. And yet there was the one that applied for Q job out at M-d-M recently. Chester Franklin was looking for ar, exceptionally intelligent animal, and this ones owner insisted he was just the pup for the picture.
 "This fellow understands every- thing that's said to him." the rlas- ter declared. "Even catches words that are spelled out. Does every kind of trick, is good-natured, and will do exactly as he's told"
 "sh-h-hh!" cautioned Franklin. DO you want me to lose my job? If Cohen hears this he'll want the dog to direct the picture" Not So Particular
 A man who cares nothing TOT pedigrees is Jimmy Savo, the comic who has been having bad luck as screen pantomime star. In all his years In the theater, Savo has been c great picker-upper of strays - the starved end the sick and the injured.
 He has been asked to leave many Q hotel when his rooms were found full of waifs in the process of re. mobilization. savo feeds, doctors and bandages them, then imposes on his human friends by insisting that they adopt the dogs.
 Seven dogs that he couldn't ever give away were sent to his ranch near Hollywood.
 When savo was divorced by hii first wife, he assigned the ranch to her. He went out to visit the dogs the other day, and was told he couldn't see them. Now he's thinking about suing to obtain their part-time custody.
