POLl'S

Greta Garbo reaches the greatest heights of her acting career in conquest" which opens Saturday at the Loew Poli Theater, end in which she is co-starred for the first time with Charles Boyer in a mem orable portrayal of the role of Ma poleon Bonaparte.
 Here is the acting of a new high order. As the young Polish countess, Marie Walewska, who encourages the infatuation of Napoleon to fur- ther the interests of her own coun- try but ultimately falls in love with him herself, Garbo once again stands out as the most distinguished actress on the screen today.
 Boyer, likewise, wins fresh laurelS in the role of Napoleon, portrayal which shows the man not in the exaggerated terms in which history has pointed him, but as living and breathing man with a passion crazed ambition to rule the world but with a tenderness and under standing for those he loved.
 The plot of Conquest" deals with Napoleon's visit to Poland where he meets the Polish countess who be- comes the great love of his life, and follows their romance to their final farewell at Elba. Among historic characters brought to life by make up magic and characterization based on research are the Due de Talleyrand, played by Reginald Owen, Alan Marshals Captain D'Ornano, Count Walewska, played by Henry Stephenson, Napoleon's mother, enacted by Dame May Whitty, and Prince Poinatowski played by 0. Henry Gordon.
 Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer provided the story with settings and cos- tunes of 8 spectacular nature among the outstanding scenes being Napoleon,s tragic retreat from Mos- COW, the idyllic scenes at the beau- tiful Castle Finckenstein where Ma poleon and Countess Walewska made a temporary home and the spectacular ballroom of the Ponti- atowski palace in Warsaw.
 There can be no doubt in the public mind that Conquest" is well titled. It is Garbo's conquest, which is not to detract from the triumph of Boyer and the support ting cast, the direction, photography and impressive technical perfection of the whole picture.
 The companion hit on the pro- gram is Beg, Borrow or Steal" fea- turing those romantic comics, John Beal and Florence Rice, who re- gently scored 8 hit together in Double Wedding"

STATE

"FirSt Lady," that scilltillating comedy of social life among the pol- iticians in Washington starring lovely Kay Francis, got off to @ rousing start at Warner Brothers State theater yesterday where it Is playing a three day engagement.
 Kay is the star of the show as an ambitious wife who tries to maneu- yer her husband into the White House so she. can become first lady," Preston Foster does splerl- did job in the role of her husband.
 But there are other soclalite ladies in the Capital who have the same idea. Chief among these is Veree Teasdale, who has the same idea about her own husband. This is Walter Connolly, who is a tired, more or less henpecked oldster.
 There is fanatical, be-spectacled leader of a woman's reform group who controls millions of women's votes and of course the chief rivals go out for her support. This old gal is none other than Louise Fazenda. So you can see the comic possibilities. :a.
 To add to the confusion there's a new and handsome young politician Victor Jory for whose influ- ence and oratorical assets, Kay Francis and Veree Teasdale con- tend. And 0 lovely young deb from the South - Anita Louise = with whom he Is in love.
 Over the tea tables, the girls get together and manipulate politics to suit their own feminine fancy-and incidentally to get an edge on each other socially. The fued betweer, Kay Francis and Verree Teasdale which started over the theft of a cook, forms the highly hilarious theme of the film. Each is deter mined to keep the other out of the White House at almost any cost. To them, politics is purely personal
