TEXAS RANCERS'
 STRAND FEATURE
King VidOr's Magnificent Production Starts En-
 gagement Sunday

Performances today and tomorrow conclude the Warner Brothers Strand theater engagement of Katharine Hepburn and Frederic March in "Mary of Scotland" also Palm Springs" with Frances Lang ford, Smith Ballew and Sir Guy Standing. Sunday brings King Vidor's magnificent production of 'The Texas Rangers"
 A story as dramatic and thrill- filled as its background is sweeping, "The Texas Rangers" outlines the work of the band of fearless men who brought order to the Lone Star State. Fred MacMurray and Jack Oakie, cast in leading roles, appear as outlaws who join the Rangers, taking part in the daily work of daring undertaken by America's first organization of state peace officers.
 The Rangers took oath, on en- listing, to Subdue Indians, kill or capture murdererS, break up gangs of brigandS and cattle thieves, and make Texas a reasonably safe place in which to live" The two carac- ters, in the course of the plot, have a leading part in the final great bat- tie of the Rangers with hostile Inc dianS, which led to subduing of the maurauding tribes. Filmed by Vidor with a cast including several hun- dred braves and as many Rangers, the scene is one of the most thrill. ing ever thrown on screen.
 Jean Parker, the young woman who charmed America in Little Women" and "Sequoia" is perfectly cast in the leading feminine roman tic role, as the daughter of the rug ged leader of the Ranger post which MacMurray and Oakie join.
 Oakie'S humor, the romance of Miss Parker and MacMurray, and songs, recorded by MacMurray, Oakie, the Rangers and others, make "The Texas Rangers. finely balanced entertainment, set against a historically accurate, dramatic background.
 Edward Ellis is splendid as the leader of the Ranger unit; Bennie Bartlett appearing as the son of pioneer parents who are killed by Indians, does a good bit of child acting.
 The added feature is My Amer ican Wife" starring Ann Sothern and Francis Lederer with Fred Stone and Billie Burke. It's the hilarious story of g European noble- man who turns cowboy. Packed with laughs and amusing situations My American Wife" proves delightfully."- diverting screen fare.
 Next week Thursdays new show will include the newlyweds Dick Powell and Joan Blondell in Stage Struck" also "The Case of the Vel- vet Claws" with Warren Williams.

STATE OPENS NEW
 SCHEDULE TODAY
HencefOrth Programs Will Grange Each Week on
 Fridays, Tuesdays

warner Brothers State theater enabarks on its new presentation policy today. Henceforth all new pr0grams will be offered State pa- irons each week on Friday and Tuesday (instead of Saturday and Wednesday as in the pasD. Remem- Der, evening prices tomorrow after 8 D. m. so plan to attend the early inatinee better still try to visit the State today and enjoy the first showing of My Man Godfrey" and Yellowstone"
 Write down all the words that mean funny, capricious, deliciously daffy and abulliently looney. Add them all together and you have a description of My Man Godfrey. This outstanding contribution to the new movie season is humor gone on a spree. William Powell and Carole Lombard, starring together for the first time in three years, rise to new heights as experts of light comedy and rapid fire retort.
 Carole Lombard, as the reckless debutante, engages in high society game called "Scavenger Hunting" |" She comes back with the forgotten man." in the person of. William Powell. She falls for his overpow- ering masculine charm and engages him as a butler, and then things begin to happen fast and furious.
 The grandest scene in the picture IS the ballroom set, when Carole Lombard walks in with William Powell and wins the prize. There are nanny goats running loose, with young kids hleating after them. Cuckoo clocks strike thirteen; all is merry as marriage bell; the lights shine bright on fair women and fuzzy-eyed men. The battle of Waterloo was a quiet debate conn., pared to this society party.
 The fun really hits full speed when Powell starts buttling for the family. He does not respond to the debutante's advances and she becomes determined to get Her Man Godfrey. The comedy turns into a riot of laughs that bubble like champagne, at night club opening. The diamond studded cast SUD- porting William Powell and Carole Lombard includes Alice Brady, Gail Patrick, Jean Dixon, Eugene Pal 1ette, Alan Mowbray, Robert Light and Franklin Pangborn. The fenli- nine eye will be delighted with the gowns worn by Carole Lombard in the picture. Score about 24 hits for her designer.
 -.,he companion feature is "Yel- iowstone", a mystery melodrama framed by the natural scenic won- .ders of the famous American na- tional park. Every bit of the pie turesque splendor of this wonder lard of nature has been captured shy the camera. The cast includes Henry Hunter, Judith Barrett, Ralph Morgan, Andy Devine and others. s ~ & bE
 Next week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the State will present !" Adventure in Manhattan" with Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur also s'Second Wife" with Walter Abel and Gertrude Michael.

Inseparable
 In his private life, Meredith is the husband of Margaret Perry, red-headed daughter of Antonette Perry, who Is associated with the Broadway producer, Brock Pember- ton. Margaret is an actress, and has the ingenue lead in the new Mae West picture, "Go West, Young Man."
 She and Meredith have agreed not to be separated by Broadway and Hollywood; if they have con- flicting engagements, one will quit and go where the other is.
 Meredith got into the theater, he says, by eliminating other profess sions. After year at Amherst, he bounced in and out of dozens of jobs, from selling vacuum clean CTS to seeing the world as com mon seaman.
 One day he went to see Eva Le Galnenne and she took him into her apprentice company. He was the Duck and the Dormouse in "Alice

Doesn't Look The Part,
 But He's a Great Actor!
Burgess Meredith, Broadway Star, Hasn't Made Great
 Splash in Hollywood, but It Hasn't Seen Him in Film
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood, Oct. 5-The astonish- ing thing about Burgess Meredith is not that he is such 8 great &C., tor, but that he is an actor at all. He looks like the young man who brings in your groceries, or like the fellow behind the fountain who asks whether it'll be chocolate or vanilla.
 Meredith is slight of build, wears his clothes carelessly, and wastes little time combing his undistin- guished hair. Conversationally, he seeems a little shy, but expresses himself uncommonly well.
 At this writing Hollywood hasn't got around to lionizing him very much because it hasn't yet seen him in a picture. By the time 1t does see him on the screen-in Maxwell Anderson,s "Winterset"- Meredith will be back on Broadway and probably challenging eastern critics to new superlatives.
 These critics have said time and again-in a variety of ways-that Meredith is the most important dramatic discovery of a couple of declades. It was Little or Boy" back in 1883, that projected him into the theater's consciousness.
 After that he was 8 loony col Iegian in "She Loves Me Not" About year ago at this time, Kath- arine Cornell handed him script of Flowers of the Forest" and said, 'Buzz, this will be your play, not mine." And it was.
 Then came "Winterset," full of fire and heroic emotions and MT. Anderson's blank verse. Meredith took it in his stride, became g star, and this summer capitulated to the pleadings of Hollywood. He agreed to make "Winterset" for RKO.

 During production, other studios pestered him to make screen tests for them. He sent them, instead, the film of 8 test he had made in New York three years ago.
 It was terrible, and Meredith knew it was terrible; he just didn't want to be tempted away from his resolution to hurry back to Broad way and do 8 play or two this sea- son. After looking at the film, the studios let him alone.
 He likes Hollywood well enough; says it has given him some valuable lessons in technic and acting disci- pline.
 Prom here," he said, "the the- ater seems a million miles away. People ask me, Why do you want to go back to a medicine show? This is big; this is where the dough is.'
 "A funny thing is the way a mo- vie is considered as an entire pro- duction, and not for the perfor- mances of individuals in it. All that an individual attracts in 1t. All that an individual attracts in Hollywood is lot of curious gossip about his private life"

in Wonderland" Finally he was assigned 8 speaking part. Proceed cd to celebrate immoderately, and missed the performance.
 He said, That sobered me, lite orally, to the realization that act- ing is serious business"
 During the long run of "She Loves Me Not" he doubled as Red Davis" in 8 radio adventure series. One night he missed broadcast, and that sobered him some more. But he doesn't care much about ra- dio, anyway.
 To Sing in Musical
 Meredith says he will divide his time about 70-30 between stage and films. He and his wife now are on their way to their farm near Nyack, N. Y. Maxwell Anderson also has a place in the vicinity, and there, too. stands 8 mountain named High Tor, about which Anderson has written Meredith's next play.
 After High Tor" the actor wants to be in 8 musical which is be in a musical which is being written by Kurt Weill, He'll sing.
 It's hard to imagine Meredith singing until you hear him admit that for four years when he was a kid, he was a soloist in Manhat- tan's Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
 In the role in which he won fame on Broadway - that of the grim avenger in "Winterset" = young Burgess Meredith, above, soon will be seen by flicker fans.

Tonight is the last chance to see the double feature bill ct the Poli theater, Postal Inspector" with Ricardo Cortez and Patricia Ellis and the Jones Family in their lat- est screen fIln-fest Back to Na- tsire' with the same well known cast of Jed Prouty; Shirley Deane, Dixie Dunbar and Spring Ewing ton.
 Tomorrow brings to our screen four of the stars of the silver screen all herded into the same pro- ducing one of the funniest film of their careers. 'Libeled Lady" heads the program with Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy giving one of the greatest comedies of the New Movie Season to the local theatergoers. Essentially . comedy, quite mod ernly flanboyant and rowdy in character, 1t IS wholesome and in. vigorating fun in spite of its mixed matrimonial situations, high pres sure drama and romantic intrigue.
 Publisher Tracy, threatened by Loy with g whacking big libel suit as the result of accidentally pub- hshed scandal, hires Powell to side- track the menacing lady. To complicate things further, however, Tracy causes Powell to marry Jean Harlow. Ensuing situations can readily be visioned but suffice to say this picture will have you hold ing your sides in it's entirety.
 The second big feature on the same program is something differ ent in the line of criminal stories and dealing the criminally minded another setback in style. "l5 Maiden Lane" with Claire Trevor and Cesar Romero takes you into the diamond cutting trade. Despite the horde ff faIaiY1clnthecy,oar ouS
