The boxing game Is beginning 70

injured In the ring.
Now John b. Kelly, Secretary Of
revenue for the state Of Pennsyl.

provide creation Of o pension fund
for old, disabled boxers.
The next thing you know the
managers are going to stop shouting
they can't hurt Us.
Mr.. Kelly revealed his plan at Q
banquet Of ex.fighters In Philadel.
phia. Some 200 Of the old.timers
attended.
FOR some, Il was the first square
meal they'd had In quite Q Little
while. For others, 1t was, Of course
just another ripe olive and tall
celery affair.
Mr.. Kelly was thinking Of the
first group when he promised that
he would try 10 get the Pennsylvania
legislature to approve his plan Of
taking Q portion Of the gate receipts
OF each fight held IN the state and
setting 1t aside for they boys when
they reach old age.

getting some princely sum for u
minutes, more or less, Of scuff1ing.
II they can't hold onto that money,
then they don't deserve either SYM
patty or q pension, you might say.
But It must be pointed out that
the boxers don't get the so-called
purse in It's entirety. They are
most fortunate II they wind up with
one-half Of the purse. Frequently
there are poor, misguided fellows like
prima Camera who find out that
there have been more bond Issues I'd

And, anyway. It must be remem-

STRAND OFFERS
 'CCoO OLD SOAK
Wallace Beery's Latest Hit Opens Engage
 ment Sunday

Attractions to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand theater include "The Prince and the Pauper" with Errol Flynn and the Mauch Twins heading a notable cast. also "The Girl From Scotland Yard" with Karen Morley, Robert Baldwin and Euardo Cian- elli.
 Sunday brings Good Old Soak with Wallace Beery as its star and giving one of the most superb char acterizations of his splendid screen career. The remembered story by Don Marquis depicts typical sit uation in the average American small-town family during the era of prohibition. Beery, in what IS without doubt his most touching role to date. brings to life the lackadai- sical character who quit work to keep up with the speakeasies.
 When the family fortune is miss ing he, of course, is blamed. He proceeds to find the guilty persons and to knit the family ties with an efficiency that astonished his towns folk. It is a satire of a never-to-be- forgotten period in American his tory.
 Outstanding in support of Beery are Una Merkel in another of her

Hollywood.-Out of their past: Mae Vests most spectacular sup porting role was in her early vaude- vile days, when she included weight lifting in her act. She could carry four men in those days.
 Miriam Hopkins broke into the show business by applying for job as a chorus girl in the first Music Box Revue" Not knowing anybody on Broadway, she boldly walked into a rehearsal of the show, ap- preached man who seemed to be the director, and said MT. Hassard Short told me to see you about a job."
 The man was surprised. He
 said, '1 am Hassard Short" But
 he hired her.
 Fred Astaire had plenty of mis- givings when he came to Holly wood to appear in Flying Down to Rio" When he saw the first batch of rushes his worst fears were confirmed.
 He went to Pandro German, the producer, and begged him to al- low him to go back to New York and pretend the whole thing had never happened.
 German told him he looked fine in the rushes, and apparently he did because that picture made As taire an actor. But to this day he dreads to see himself on the screen Get Out and Stay Out"
 Gary Cooper's first movie job was in Tom Mix western, "The Lucky Horseshoe" To his amazement the wardrobe department put him into a pair of long green tights, leather jacket, feathered cap and gave him bow and arrow. So he wasn't a cowboy after all, but one of Robin Hoods archers in brief dream se- quence.

 SHOWS AT STATE
"Slim'' Tops Twin Bill Opening Sunday-COm-
 edy Also Offered

Performances today and tomor- row conclude the engagement at Warmers cool, comfortable State theater of T Met Him In Paris" with Claudette Colbert, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young, also "Her Husband Lies" with Ricardo Cortez and Gail Patrick.
 Sundays giant new double feature program will be headlined by Slim" a startling melodrama in which a class of American workers whose trade has never before reached the screen is depicted. Reference is made to those adventurous and hardy lads who string electrical power lines across remote waste spaces.
 The popular Henry Fonda, bor- rowed from another studio for this one picture, carries the title role of "Slim," a young farm lad who, fas- cinated by the work of wire-gang crossing his fathers land, becomes one of them, with the aid of Red" :" a jovial and gallant wire-stringer who is portrayed by that perpetual favorite, Pat O'Brien.
 They are both in love-after a while-with "Cally," hospital nurse, who is none other than the lovely Margaret Lindsay. But there's no enmity between them; they're great pals and comrades, each will ing to offer his life to save the others.
 "Slim" was made from a best selling novel by William Wister Haines. It has what are described as breath-taking scenes, with the high-tension gang building towers 100 feet high, scrambling up and down them, and stringing wires across them, sometimes in the face of blizzards and dust-storms. It's no easy life, apparently, that these linesmen lead. They're always on the move-town to town, state to state.
 One of the pals of the two boys is Stuart Erwin, who never fails to win laughs. The boss of all the gang is J. Farrell Macdonald, who in this picture turned in his one thousandth performance before the cameras. The cast includes such

TWO NAME STARS
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor in "This
 Is My Affair."

Two great stars, Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck, achieve their true greatness together in "This Is My Affair."" which opens tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater. That they should do so is not exact- ly surprising, for Twentieth Century, Fox, producers of the picture the world is talking about, have cast as co-stars the screens most talked about sweethearts, regarded in Hol- lywood as the film colonyS Number One of-screen romance.
 In This Is My Affair."" both Tay- Tor and Miss Stanwyck find the most important story either one has ever had, a dramatic account of love supremely courageous and unasham- ed, endangering the nations highest places and gambling life itself for a higher stake. And for Victor Mc- Laglen, who heads the brilliant sup porting cast, it marks the strongest role has had since his powerful characterization in "The Informer" earned him the acting award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
 A picture in the mood of great romance, with the surge of mighty drama. "This Is My Affair" not only provides Robert Taylor with a truly Taylor-ed role, allowing Bar bara Stanwyck to match his great ness with a burning brilliance never before revealed.
 The exciting event of "This Is My Affair" take place at the turn of the century, when the stability of the nation is threatened by an unprece- dented series of sensational bank robberies in the middle west. In a desperate move President William

Mckinley calls upon young lieu tenant, Robert Taylor, who has a brilliant career under the command of Admiral Dewey.
 In a mid-western city known as a criminal center, Taylor meets a cafe owner, Victor McLaglen; his right-hand man, Brian Donley, and the singing and dancing star of the show, Barbara Stanwyck. Hearing that the men have came into large sums of money through mysterious channels, Taylor notes their ab- sence from the cafe coincides with a bank robbery in another city.
 Pressing his attentions on Bar bara, to gain entree to the gang, Taylor falls deeply in love with her, but goes through with his plan. Events mount thrilling to dramatic climax which finds Taylor apparent ly doomed to hanging when captur- ed with the gang during a bank rob- bery in which secret service man is killed, he learns that the one man who could clear him, President Mo- Kinley, has just been assassinated.
 Here the story storms to a climax that is drama unparalleled, when all the forces of justice are ranged against an innocent man who has done his tremendous duty, only to be trapped by the most fateful hap pening in generations-so unexpect- ed, undreamed of, unthinkable as to create situation of blood chill ing irony. danger and terror!
 A thrilling story conception-the deliberate destruction of mans whole identity, the purposeful wrecking of his brilliant career, for reasons of highest state, involving the great names and great places of the nation! Then the triumph ot that man through a love greater than life or honor!
 Because of one daring mans in- genuity and courage the safety and integrity of America depend, in the turbulent, violent, colorful days at the turn of the century .. because this man achieves success through a supremely courageous love because the lovers are Robert Tay- Tor and Barbara Stanwyck (whon word of mouth will hail as new and greater Taylor, a newer and greater Stanwyck) .... because Hollywood's ace producers have law ished their innermost knowledge on a great and powerful production .. "This Is My Affair" is the picture the world is talking about!
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is the thrilling and dramatic story of the front page, Behind The Headlines" which stars Lee Tracy.
