VETERAN GENERAL
 FINISHES CAREER
Edward Murphy Markham, Army Engineering Chief,
 Retires From Service

Of particular interest locally Is the announcement of the retirement from official duties of Major Gener- al Edward Murphy Markham of Washington, D. O., as engineering chief in the U. s. army. Markham is a cousin of Attorney John L. Gaffney of Gaffney place, and of Mrs. Thomas Nolan and George Gaffney of Randolph avenue. In past years he was a frequent guest at the home of the late MT. and Mrs. John w. Gaffney.
 Markham has had the rank of rnajor-general since October, 1883 Graduating from West Point in 1899, his subsejuent career has been Q distinguished one. He served in the Philippines from 1901 to 1903, in Cuba following that, and com manded Q regiment of engineers in France during the World war, and was chief engineer of the army ot occupation in 1918 and 1919.
 Many important engineering en- terprises were begun under Mark ham, including the Fort Peck, Bon- neville and Tygart dams, the Musk ingum river valley reservoirs con- struction. He has been, along with his engineering accomplishments, an accomplished musician, playing the piano, and composing songs. He has two sons, also in the army, and @ daughter who is married to on army offlcer. Of interest also is the fact that the three hundred million dol- lar flood control plan for the lower Mississippi valley was finished in his administration.

asm knew few bounds. Once he had to be almost forcibly restrained from calling attention to a gangster picture by spraying the leading mans home with machine gun bullets.
 A coup which he did engineer suc- cessfully was the invention of the Cultural Arts Guild of America. Krasna rented handsome silver trophy from pawn shop, hired an extra with professorial beard, and wrote a speech. Before a battery of newsreel cameras the extra, intro duced as Doctor" delivered the speech and presented the cup (tem- porarily) to Loretta Young for "the greatest cultural and artistic ad- vancement accomplished by any outstanding individual during the year."
 Betty Keeps Cup
 Equally ingenious and almost as successful was the exploitation ar- ranged for Betty Grable only a cou- pie of weeks ago. This stunt in volved a fictitious organization known as the Committee for the Improvement of American Stand aros of Beauty, which was about to select a Miss Ideal America"
 There was only one candidate Miss Grable. The cup, intended for ceremonial presentation only, was borrowed from the Paramount prop department.
 The CHASE officials" included, besides 8 couple of studio artist employees, the secretary of the Hol- lywood Chamber of Commerce, an art critic and @ sculptor. Some of these dignified gentlemen were too bewildered to offer any protest, or else were too dazzled by Miss Gra- ble's baby blue bathing suit.
 Everything went off as sched. uled, I'm told, except that the ac- tress refused to return the cup to the property department.

STRAND

You'll have to hurryl Today's your last opportunity to see "Souls At Sea" with Gary Cooper, George Raft and Frances Dee, also "Lovs Under Fire" with Loretta Young and Don Ameche, current attrac- tionS at Warmers Strand.
 Tomorrow's grand new show will be headlined by Frank Capre's magnificent production of "Lost Horizon" with Ronald Colman In the starring roel. More than two years in the making and one of the most costly picture ever to come out of Hollywood, "Lost Horizon" is Robert Riskin's screen adaptation of James Hilton's best-selling novel of the same name. In translating the Hilton novel to the screen MT. Riskin and Frank Capra-the men responsible for such memorable suc- cesses as "Mr. Deeds" and Tt Hap pened One Night" to name only two-have recaptured all of the breath h-taking adventure, the high romance and the awesome beauty that contributed so much to the widespread appeal of the original story.
 Featured members of the huge cast supporting Colman in Lost Horizon" include Jane Wyatt, Ed. ward Everett Horton, Isabel Jewell, Thomas Mitchell, Margo, H. B. Warner, John Howard and Sam Jaffe.
 The companion feature will be "One Mile From Heaven" with Claire Trevor and Sally Blanc in the leading roles.

STATE

All>roads lead to Warner Brothers State theater tonight, and you had better plan to arrive early if you want Q seat. It's the big night of the week and promptly at 8:30 & Buick Sedan will be awarded from the stage.
 But getting back to the new show opening at the State today we must call your attention to the program hNAdliner. It's 'They Won't For- get" based on Ward Greene's sen- sational novel, Death in the Deep South," and its dramatization in the hands of producer ?director Mervyn LeRoy has been brilliantly con- trived.
 Warn Brothers, who have to their credit other powerful narratives, among them T Am Fugitive from . Chain Gang" have made this one with linSwerving honesty and laud- able courage. It follows no formula and makes no compromise.
 The picture is outstanding also in the matter of cast. With the ex- ception of Claude Rains, who gives a splendid performance as the dis trict attorney, and Otto Kruger, who is excellent as the dfense attorney in the films vivid courtroom scenes, the players are practically all new corners. The role of the unfortunate Robert Hale Is skilfully enacted by Edward Norris; that of his wife by a talented actress named Gloria Dickson. Allyn Joslyn contributes an outstanding portrayal as the newspaper reporter, Brock, and fine bits are played by Clinton Rose mond, in the part of the janitor; by Elisha Cook, Jr, as the grocery clerk.
 They Won't Forget" is picture you can't afford to miss
 It will be screened daily at 1:l5, 400, zoo and $40. The companion feature Is a grand comedy romance, "Venus Makes Trouble" with dash ing, likeable Jimmy Dunn in the leading role and given capable sup port by Patricia Ellis and Gene Morgan.

PoLI'S

With delft touches and a neat sem sibility, Peter Lorre has created a host of unusual characters for the screen, each more realistically hor- r1fying and vivid than the last. Tn his latest picture, however, the little Hungarian star introduces an en- trely new angle to his character 1SattonS, playing a spy whose deceit and villainy make him 8 hero.
 Loree Is .co-featured with Dolores Del Rio and George Saunders in
 Lancer Spy," Twentieth Century Fox sensational espionage drama Of the World War, opening tomor- row at the Loew Poli. theater. A German oficer in the imperial high command, Lorre so successfully car- ries out his mission that he be- comes, ironically, assistant head of the German counter-espionage bu- reau.
 When George Sanders, in the title role, arrives in Berlin impersonat- ing 6 German officer, he incurs the suspicion of Lorre's chief, who as- signs him to investigate. Realizing that he must protect the suspected man if he really is a spy, Lorre at- tempts to find him out with the aid of Miss Del Rio, but Sanders is successful in evading detection.
 Carrying his extraordinary ex- ploitS to bold lengths, Sanders. is decorated by the kaiser, and up to the exciting climax of the film IS unaware of Lorre's pro-British es- pionage activities. Tn the thrilling, faSt-paced series of events marking the exposure of Sanders, Lorre clev- erly aids his fellow-spy to complete his mission, at the same time pro- tecting his own position so that ne can return, undetected, to his own activities in the very midst of Ger man-espionage work.
 One of the most delicate and sen sitive tasks of subtle delineation of his entire career, the role is the most novel and unusual he has ever undertaken, Lorre says.
 The companion hit on the pro- gram is Small Town Boy," starring Stuart Erwin in the funniest comedy of the year.
 Tonight affords you your last chance to see glamorous Joan Crawford in her latest hit, '"The Bride Wore Red," with Robert Young and Franchot Tone in the leading male roles.
 On the same program is Danger ouSly Yours," with Cesar Romero and Phyllis Brooks.

 Hollywood - Unless 1t be dog catching, or maybe tax collecting, there is no vocation so thankless and endless as that of pressagentry.
 The stars almost never are satis- fled with the things said about them in print, and whatever the source of story, @ player is in clined to hold his publicity man re- sponsible. The latter also is eX- pected to function occasionally as a suppress agent. An actor who spends a night in jail, in company with lot of little pink elephants, is likely to emerge next day unre- pentant and furious that news of the indignity has not been kept out of the papers.
 When legitimate news Is dull, the praise specialist is expected to think up an "angle" which some of the $50 accredited correspondents will believe and perhaps write. Co., casionally the publicity boys go too far.
 ,Marlene Dietrich was irate when her studio blurb factory began tel ling how she was just little home body who loved to cook. The fact is that she can cook, but she knows that culinary skill will not sell any tickets to her pictures. Miss Diet rich wants to be known as a glan- or-girl.
 Boris Karloff fired a press agent who planted story that while in London he telephoned Hollywood every evening to listen to his dogs bark. And over at Warmers a pub licity lad has been dodging Pat O'Brien ever since @ story was is- sued declaring that O'Brien, tiring of big potato pattern on his chest, had the skin peeled off and made into @ lampshade. }
 When Silence Paid
 The only press agent who ever became nationally famous Is Dexter Fellows, romancey-in-chief for The Greatest Show on Earth. The only press agent who ever became rich was the late Ivy Lee, whose spe- cialty was withholding news about the Rockefellers.
 In Hollywood, all publicity work CTS seem to live only for the chance to leave their jobs for positions as production assistants or writers. The methodical ones become pro- ducers; the more highly imagin- ative ones become scenarists.
 Peter Smith, who started Greta Garbo on her lonely path to fame when he was publicity chief for Me- tro, now is a commentator, writer and producer of shorts. Norman Krasna, who cut 8 wide swath through the placidity of Warmers blurb department until Daryl za- muck fired him, now is @ writer producer of million dollar flickers at M-G-M.
