STATE SKY DRAMA OPENS TOMORROW
Thirteen Hours By Air" Features New Double
 Innovation

Performances tonight afford fi- nal opportunity for "late-comers' to see the current show held over at Warner Brothers State theater since last Wednesday. MT. Deeds Goes to Town, starring Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur is the headline attrac- ton and the companion feature pre- sents Lew Ayers and Florence Rice in Panic On The Air.
 Drama in the sky is the theme of Thirteen Hours By Air" which the State will offer it's patrons starting tomorrow.
 Thirteen Hours By Air" starts at a terrific pace. Like the New York-to-San Francisco plane on which most of it's action takes place, 1t roars on at high speed to the very finish.
 The cast includes Fred MacMur- ray, that casual young man who has risen spectatcularly to stardom in a little over one year; pretty, blonde Joan Bennett; fluttery ZaSu Pitts; and ingratiating John Howard, to mention a few. The scirpt is by Kenyon Nicholson, who wrote 1t around Bogart Rogers magazine serial.
 Thirteen Hours By Air" is the story of romance and intrigue aboard transcontinental passenger plane. It's an oddly assorted lot of passengers the ship is carrying a girl who says she's socialite; a nine-year-old heir to fortune of millions; doctor" who reveals a surprising lack of information about medicine; and two other suspicious looking male passengers.
 The entire story is played with such swift speed and finesse that. it leaves you breathless. The casting throughout is irreproachable. Tn ad- dition to fine performances by Mac Murray and Miss Bennett, there are grand interpretations by zaSu Pitts as governess of the annoying heir, and by Bennie Bartlett as the heir. John Howard, Alan Baxter, Brian Donlevy and Fred Heating deserve especial mention, but the entire film is a credit to everyone connected with 1t.
 The companion feature is the widely read novel The House Of A Thousand Candles" given perfect screen adaptation and superbly en- acted by a stellar cast including Phillips Holmes, Mae Clarke and Irving Pichel. It's 9 story of cspion- age and foreign intrigue as diplo- mats strive to keep Europe out of war. A great show this and one that should find capacity houses in evil dence at the State during every per-

ALHAMBRA

Professional Soldier, starring Victor McLaglen and little Freddie Bartholomew starts Sunday at the Alhambra theater.
 The story starts out as carousing adventure with the none too scrupu- lous McLaglen agreeing to kidnap the king of little European state for a price. He is in the pay of revolutionists.
 McLaglen and his assistant played by Michael Whalen, carry out their part of the bargain, even though they loveX their taste for it when they discover that the mon- arch is stripling. They also carry away Gloria Stuart, who breaks in on them in the middle of the crime.
 In a mountain hideaway. the king and the soldier strike up fast friendship. McLaglen trains the lad in games in which he soon be- comes more proficient than his in- structor, and tell him mortified tales of bloodshed. Everything goes well, even the blossoming romance be- tween Whalen and Miss Stuart, un- til a royalist plot carries the king back to his palace and McLaglen to a cell to await death.
 But the royalists themselves plot to do away with the king. In the thrilling, nerve-scraping climax. Mo- Laglen stages jail break and d one-man war that outstrips even his colorful lies, bringing the story to it's happy close.
 The added attraction is "RiiI Raff" starring Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy.

CARROLL

Daryl P. Zanuck's 'The Country Doctor" which starts Sunday at the Carroll theater, proves to be the blessed event" of the year as it presents the five famous Dionne Quintuplets laughing, grooming and stealing your heart as motion pie ture stars.
 It is a story bristling with drama comedy pathos and adventure that presents these universally loved babies in their first feature length picture roles. Jean Hersholt is the hero, as the doctor who dedicates his life to a tooth-and-claw battle against pain and i'll in a Canadian fur settlement.
 Hampered by official red-tape, sorely in need of a hospital, he an- tagonizes the heads of his company loses his position because of the enmity of the company manager He answers one last call for his services, and to his astonishment brings five tiny mites to the world at one birth.
 With startling Suddenness, the doctor finds his position reversed. He is the focus of world interest, he can demand and get everything he wants for his tiny charges. And in the climax, the man who faced lonely 6ld age L>;omes the re- cipient of highest honors from the government.

Recovery's Crest
In the Past Week

New York, May 3O.-(AP)-Indus-
try rode along the crest of the re-
covery movements recent peak this
week, with residential building sup
plying the necessary forward impetus.
The Associated Press index Of in
dustrial activity was 80, against 1872
last week and 7O.8 in the comparable
period a year ago.
Residential building stepped up to
the highest level since early 1892 as
the demand held up well beyond the
normal seasonal top.
Automobile output slipped back less
than the customary seasonal amount,
with the high rate of seasonal sales
acting a bulwark as against the sum-
mer reaction.
Total carloadings rose less than was
to be expected.
Cotton manufacturing, electric pow
er production and steel mill activity
