POLI'S

Thrills, laughs, drama and roc nance mingle in literal cross sec- ton of American racing life in Saratoga" M-G-M's drama of the turf which has brought Clark Gable and Jean Harlow to the Loew Poll screen today.
 Penned by the authors of "san Francisco" Anita Loos and Robert Hopkins, 1t has handling of the thrills, such as the great race that climaxes the story, much of the same virile quality. Miss Harlow and Gable hate, fight, and finally love in Q romance now whimsical comedy, now tense drama. Jack Conway's direction is as skillful as 1t was in "Libeled Lady" and Lionel Barrymore contributes one of the ever outstanding characterizations of his career as the old race horse breeder.
 Saratoga" tells the story of the daughter of rich horse owner and Q bookmaker, her fathers friend whom she hates and fights, then loves. Intrigues over ringing" bets plot and counterplot behind the scenes in the paddock, and finally the sensational racing climax worked out on Q new dramatic twist keep the picture packed with ac- ton. Against this action the TO- mantle story is developed.
 Una Merkel and Frank Morgan appear as the newest comedy team, which is the most hilarious in his- tory. Walter Pidgeon plays 6 fine part, and Cliff Edwards adds laughs and 6 song.
 Location sequences filmed at race- tracks and the great stock farm are among spectacular details of the story.
 Jean Harlow's last production now presented to clamoring thou sands-a gay and thrilling produc- ton you will always cherish in mem ory.
 Michael Whalen and Gloria Stu art are the pair of happy scrappy, lovers in the comedy hit "The Lady Escapes" which is the companion feature on the program.
 Watch for the presentation ot Topper" to be shown at this theater soonl Positively the biggest hit of the season.

as Moore sent the designated ball down the fairway for @ long drive, the other two dribbling out on the tee.
 There is definite proof of one of his "trick-shot" exploits here. Moore was standing on a tee when a friend drove by in @ car. Watch thisl" he said when the car was about a block away. With @ mashie he lofted a high one into the air. The ball landed squarely on the top of the car. Moore also made 0 speciality of blindfolded driving, his shot turning out as good as Q sighted one nine times out of ten. He often played for money, and with his uncanny ability, seldom lost. Whether ht could really beat the best profes. sionals as alleged, will probably never be known. He never ap. peared to take very seriously hi, amazing golf abilities during his early years in Syracuse. Or any. thing else, for that matter.
 Prohibition Days
 Along about 1928 he became a golf pro at Clayton, N. r., and later at Thendara in the Adiron- dacks. It was here that he formed the associations that led to his being connected by state police with the holdup of q tavern. He did not drink in those days. In the escape after the holdup the car crashed. One man was Killed two were caught, and one escaped State police believe the fourth man was Laverne.
 Moore's first name is really Laverin, and is SO recorded In the old family Bible of his parents Mir. and Mrs. Matthew Moore, e fine old Irish couple. Matt Moore steel company employe, hac black, curly hair like Laverne's up to the time when his son dis. appeared after the 1880 holdur episode. Now 1t is pure white The parents never heard e wore from Laverne during all the timt when he was making his fantasti, career in Hollywood under tht name of Montague.

Too Much Zip
 Police Chief Thomas Carroll, who has known Moore since he was a baby, sizes him up this way:
 Verne Moore had too much vitality and too much energy for one human being, but there was never anything vicious or mean spirited about him."
 Carroll ought to know, for he watched Moore through the gram- mar, parochial, and prep schools, saw him develop into e baseball and golf phenomenon, and sone- times reprimanded him for reck- lessness and Responsibility. 1t was Carroll who helped clear up the case by identifying Holly woods Mysterious Montague" with Syracuse's Laverne Moore, wanted for a 1880 roadhouse holdup in the Adirondacks.
 Moore had . splendid physique, and he early became the town phenomenon as baseball and foot ball player, golfer, practical joker. man about town, hail fellow well met, strong man, and at times ready fighter. He was good enough as 0 pitcher to get Q tryout with the Boston Braves, but quit when farmed to Provi- dence. It was the big league or nothing for Moore.
 Liked His Joke
 His amazing strength left be- hind @ trail of stories of lifting one end of a 4000-pound auto while a jack was placed under 1t, and other feats which marked him out from other men. His practical jokes followed this pattern: Out driving with three friends, he pre- tended to be out of gas, and urged them to push the car to tlye top of e long hill. AS the car reached the top, Verne started the car, and left his perspiring friends standing in the road. Once he irn- personated a police officer and persuaded workmen digging Q ditch to dig in another spot. where they had quite Q trench cut be- fore the irate property owner called the real police.
 This same sense of humor got Moore "in bad" on another occa- sion. With two friends, he posed as Q detective, and arrested" @ certain Syracusan known to be afraid of the police. The jokers took the man to headquarters, and accepted his checks for $50 and &40 as c bribe for his release. The cheeks were never cashed, and though 1t was technically extor- ton. the whole affair was finally passed off as just one of Moore's jokes. All got suspened sem
 Phenomenal Golf
