Sale will be held from May LIST to

On to Yakima! Let's go to the
Fair! Let's see what has been done
for our All boys and girls.
During the past year, parents
have been afraid to let their child
rem send their All exhibits to the
Yakima State Fair. Of course there
is a reason for this. They have
been placed in unsafe places. No
club members could attend the fair
for more than one day because the
lodging has been so inconvenient.
Now there is a, building for All
use only. Here the exhibits will be
found in safe places. 1t will pro-
vide for convenient lodging for the
members.
But what about the equipment
for this building? All Clubs all
over the state are selling booster
buttons to provide money for this
purpose and we surely hope that
you will help us do our share.

''Big City" an original story writ ten and produced by Norman Kras- na, brilliant young New York play. wright n, W devoting his talents rG the screen, opens Saturday at the Loew Poli theater, with Ltise Rain- CT and Spencer Tracy, co-starred.
 Here Is no crude attempt to re- veal the machinery of a metropolis as a whole. On the contrary, 1t jS a cunning unique story of a single slice of life in a great city and the adventures of a taxi driver in a struggle to survive.
 Tracy, the good priest in "San Francisco" and later the Portuguese fisherman in Captains Courage ous," becomes the husky-voiced. cynical tackman, bold to the point of dare -deviltry, fair and square and a hard man in a battle. Miss Rain CT, Academy Award winner as Anna Held in "The Great ziegfeld," later O-Lan, the Chinese farm wife in ''The Good Earth" is an immigrant girl who is his wife and soon to be the mother of his child,
 The story is powerful and the act- ing is equal to 1t. An excellent sup porting cast includes Charley Grapewin, Janet Beecher, Eddie Allan, Victor Varconi, Oscar O'Shea, Helen Troy, William De- marest, John Arledge, Irving Ba- con, Quinn Williams and Regis Toomey.
 Some of the scenes were filmed in Jack Dempsey's famous restaurant opposite Madison Square Garden jr New York, with many notables of the sporting fraternity facing the cameras. You will recognize most of them. The picture was directed by Frank Borzage, the veteran whc still is hailed for his superb work in "Humoresque."
 "Big City" truly, one of the big gest pictures of, the season, marks the. third outstanding film to bt ; presented by Loew's Poli in full swing of its Greatest Movie Season
 The companion feature on tht program is "The Girl Said No" fea' turing Robert Armstrong and Trent Hervey. t...
 Currently playing at Loew's Pol is Jane Withers' most hilarious hit "'Wild and Woolly," and "Fligh From Glory" with Chester Morri and Whitney Bourne.

It was the same old story this morning, a bon fire or sparks from an incinerator responsible for a fire which might have entirely de- stroyed a brand new house, that of Anthony Halbing of 47 Kaytonne avenue, a newly opened highway in the so-called Mcdonald lots, ly- ing between the original Farm ington avenue and Cooke street. As it was the rear section of the cosy little house was badly burned; only good work on the part of the fire fighting unit saved the entire building from destruction.

STATE

Drama that roars fuII-bloodsd from the scteeni That's '.Dead End" the sensational screen adap@ tation of the Broadway stage hit, which begins a solid weeks engage ment at Warner Brothers State tneater tomorrow.
 Blasting It's way out of the streets of . great city, with all it's conflict, hliHnOr and romance Dead End" makes It's. vivid characters live not only for the moments you see them on the screen, but long in your memory.
 Here is play which transcends the players, fine as they are. A picture, which among few in any season from Hollywood is about something fundamental. Trans- lated with fidelity from It's stage percentage Dead End" is made with admirably artistry and a stern hon. eSty which doesn't truckle to any cheap levels of entertainment.
 "Dead End" is about gangsters, little and big, and how they are cradled in an environment; about ladies of question and harridans; about folk too rich and too poor; about warped and frustrated ambi- tions; about pathetic fltiliteis ana about a few shining things loorn- ing from the darks of tenements of wealth and poverty at the end of a street abutting the East river in New York city.
 Lovely Sylvia Sidney, Joel Me- Orea, Humphrey Bogart, Allen Jen- ktns, Claire Trevor, Wendy Barrie and the boys from the Broadway stage production have the starring roles and each play their charac- terization flawlessly. Of the six boys, reams could be written of their amazing performances.
 With such strength in the juv- emile assignments, 1t is doubly mo- table the adult stars distinguish themselves so brilliantly. Yet Syl- via Sidney is splendid as the girl who aspires to better environs, and Joel McCrea takes added stature in his effortless playing. Humphrey Bogart does with rare intelligence his flashy public enemy. a job that win be rated among his finest on the screen.
 sDead End" is one picture that definitely belongs on your must see" list. Playing solid weeks engagement at the State you viii have plenty of time to plan an, af. ternoon or evening in which to en- joy 1t. Is is suggested however, that patrons endeavor to attend either the matinees or supper shows when possible in order to avoid the even. ing crowds and the subsequen. necessity of having to stand in line waiting for @ seat.
 An added feature of tmorrow's new program is "Footloose Heiress" a delightful romantic comedy with Ann Sheridan, Craig Reynolds, Will Han Hopper and Anne Nagel.
 Performance this evening con- cludes the engagement of "It's All Yours" with Francis Lederer and Medicine Carroll also Parole Racket" with Rosalind Keith and Paul Kelly.

porch, helped greatly in the spread of the fire.
 You see, 1t was this way, Mrs. Halbing had been doing some burning of paper materials, a cris- tom not out of the ordinary in many of the households of the city. And after the fire was started in the inclnerator, she left to do some housework; forgetting all about the progress of the fire. A few sparks went northward, and lodged somewhere in the lattice work of the veranda. These few sparks soon broke into a flame, and the fire went rapidly into the wooden clapboards, at the same time taking in the oil that had been left at the rear entrance.
 The fire was later investigated by the fire marshal, assisted by Private Gene Legge.
 Fortunately Mrs. Corrine Cantor of 1l8 Pennington avenue was in her yard and noticed the blaze. She issued warning cry, and then rushed inside and telephoned Fire Hearquarters. Engine No. 6 of Willow street with Lieutenant Charles Bockwich, responded, and Engine No. 1 and Truck No. ? of the Burton Street station also ar- rived with Lieutenant Michael Cavanaugh and Lieutenant John Stevens. Acting Deputy Chief Stephen J. Bloomfield was in charge of the department. The booster tank of Engine 10, Head quarters was in charge of Acting Lieutenant James A. Moran.
 Booster lines of water were used by Engine Nos. l and 10, and a chemical line by Engine No. 6.
 We estimate the damage at sev- eral hundred dollars.
 And it was only last night that we visited this particular district, in an effort to prohibit the various bon fires deliberately started by persons, after being warned by the office of the fire marshal. The fires we refer to were in the outside, with no recognized incinerator, one in particular was in the public highway, the penalty for which carries with it a substantial fine.
 "Our hearts are broken trying to stop some of these unnecessary fires, but we seem unable to get places; the Lord knows we dislike to prosecute; we do not like to see people in trouble, but we arc bound in the end to have some one in court. But before we do 1t, we again appeal to the people to stop building bon fires which en- danger adjoining property"

 There's an elderly character ac- tress who always braves the sur prised stares of nearby diners by lowing her head and offering up whispered thanks for her food.

 Hollywood. .-Notes from a pocket. full of luncheon menus: Elaine Bar rymore seldom misses a day lunch ing with her husband at Paramount. Sometimes she has nothing more than a cigaret and coffee, but she sits and talks while Barrymore eats enough for two.
 The Ritz Brothers take their eating seriously. Their table usu- ally is as quiet as any at 20th- FoX's Cafe de Paris, and other diners stare at them in surprise.
 Some times, though, they'll stack their empty dishes, hide them un- der the table, and indignantly ask the waitress when she's going to bring their. orders. But they do that only. when a new girl has been assigned to their table.
 A Waitress Threat
 Luncheon is the only meal served at studio restaurants, and almost all of the waitresses work evenings at public restaurants in Hollywood.
 At dinner, the wife of many a movie man has been made sus- piciously curious when the wait ress in a strange cafe seemed to know her husband and his tastes. Everything turns out all right, though, when the husband ex- plains that the girl has tended his table at the studio for years. ,4
