Cortez, Kay Linaker, Mary Astor and John Eldredge.
 Based on the story by Mignon G. Eberhart, famous author of mys- tery dramas, the picture is said to carry 8 most baffling, as well as most exciting plot in which one man is spirited away from an operating room of a hospital without leaving a trace, the attending surgeon is strangely slain, his body being found in an elevator with a sur- gical knife in the chest, and three women are attacked and choked by an unrecognized person. -
 The story eliminates in intensity from one terrifying situation to an- other and an astonishing ending.

DOUBLE FEATURE
 AT STATE TODAY
"The Trail of the Lone. some Pine" and ''Dont
 Gamble With Love"

Color films, for years the dream of motion pictures, have finally ar- rived and the finished product, as demonstrated by '"The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" at the Warner State theater starting today, fac surpasses all the claims which ar- dent publicity men have been make ing for 1t.
 "The Trail of The Lonesome Pine" is full of color, but that bald statement doesn't nearly cover the facts.
 Color can be vague, or 1t can be too prominent, but in this film the color has been so superbly handled, so intelligently used, that after the first moment of pleasant surprise, the onlooker is not even aware that he is seeing filtnl It is so natural, so lifelike, so clear that the illusion of watching an actual scene being enacted before ane's eyes is created, and maintained throughout the picture
 The film version of "The Trail Of the Lonesome Pine" is Q faithful adaptation of John Fox, Jr's classic. Sylvia Sidney, Fred MacMtrrray, Henry Fonda and the balance of the well-chosen cast bring the immortal characters to life, and one feels all the intensity of the primitive pass sions and emotions which are the heritage of the simple mountain folk. The work of little four-year- old "Spanky" Mcfarland deserves special mention. This little fellow. has been entrusted with an ex- tremely important role, as Buddie, the youngest of the Tolliver clan, and he delviers Q sterling perform ance.
 The story of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" is familiar to every- one, telling of the deadly feud be- tween the Tollivers and the Palms in the wild Cumberland Mountain region, and the efforts of an en- gineer from the outside world to bring the idea of civilization and modern progress into the lives of the mountain clans.
 Action, dialogue and photography have been skilfully blended by Die, rector Henry Hathaway; each inem- Der of the cast is outstanding in his part; but the real hero of the pros duction is Color--which makes s'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" one of the truly great pictures of all time.
 The companion feature is Don't Gamble With Love-, the story of . crooked gambler who was set right by girl who loved and dared even death to bring him to his senses. It's packed with action and thrills. Ann Sothern and Bruce Cabot head a big cast including Irving Pichel and Ian Keith.

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Hollywood.-T dusky angels, cherubs, and Old Testament charac- ters appearing in the screening of '"The Green Pastures" are mostly northern and western Negroes, re- cruited in New York and from Los Angeles miniature Harlem. And so they have to be taught to talk like Louisiana cullud folks.
 Marc Connolly, author and direc- tor of the famous fable, began to worry about his players lack of dialect, and decided to hire coach. Hollywood had just the man for him-a young white actor named William Austin from Pelican, La., Georgia Tech, and stock companies of the Deep South.
 Austin came here a few months ago to crash the movies. He ar- rived without a penny in his pock- cts, and managed to land @ singing spot in a night club. A studio ex- ecutive saw him and invited him over for a screen test. The test came out fine, but there was one QlSCOuTHBlnB nlCCH, HIS southern aC- cent. 'There aren't enough roles for such a drawl as you have" they told him. Come around and see us again when you've learned to talk like other Hollywood people,"
 So Austin began practicing night and day on the clipped British &C., cent which for some silly reason Is the accepted enunciation of the stage. Just when he was getting 1t down pat, along came the sos from "The Green Pastures" And now, teaching Negroes to talk like Negroes, he talks more Soth'n than he did when he first came to Hollywood.
 Gulls Unpopular
 Poets and artists like seagulls, but prop men don't. Gulls represent only grief to these studio workers.
