STATE

The special brand of humor that Claudette Colbert has made her own sparkles throughout T Met Him In Paris" brilliant comedy romance which began four day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon.
 With two leading men, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young, fighting to win Miss Colbert's affections, T Met Him In Paris" offers double guarantee of sparkling situations and bright dialogue to the legion of Colbert fans who thrilled to her earlier comedy hits "It Happened One Night" and "The Oiled Lily"
 In T Met Him in Paris" Miss Colbert, a young American girl in Paris on her vacation, is the object of the affections of both Douglas and Young, who portray, respective ly, a playwright and novelist. Both men are masters of the gentle art lof the "gag'-but discover that the innocent little "gal from back home" is just a shade too fast on the comeback for them.
 The action of the film is at whirl- wind pace; the trio of stars is whirled from Paris to Switzerland and then back again to Paris. But no matter where they are, both men find the time-and the inclin- ation-to keep rgiht on the trail the girl.
 In furry of some of the most breath-taking winter sports scenes ever brought to the screen, both try to sweep Miss Colbert of her feet, but they manage only to confuse her so much that she can't decide which one of them she loves. She fees back to Paris, resolved to for get them both, but the persistent young Swains pursue her back to Paris, and force a showdown.
 T Met Him in Paris" is grand comedy, grand fun and fast-mov- ing, thrilled packed yarn.
 The companion, feature presents Gail Patrick, gorgeously clad and more lovely than ever. in "Her Illus band Lies," story of mans dar- ing gamble for the happiness of those he loves. Ricardo Cortez, Akim Tamiroff, Tom Brown and Louis Calhern appear in the sup porting cast.

POLI'S

Imagine if you can every funster from the worlds only comedy stu dio romping madly through one picture. It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? You can and must see for yourself today at Loew's Poli where the banner star comedy Pick a Star" opens three-day engagement.
 This film full of stellar come dians and comediennes are not Pick a Stars" only assets, indeed not, because you will find it the most laughable, lovable, lyrical story of country boy and girl try ing to make good in Hollywood, you have even seen.
 Among the bright stars of the cinema heavens who will take you through one of the balmiest eve- nings you have ever spent inside of the theater are Patsy Kelly, Jack Haley, Rosina Lawrence, Mischa Auer, Lyda Roberti, also highlight of Laurel and Hardy. .
 Hal Roach, the master mirth- maker, has spared nothing to make this all-star comedy. The settings of Pick 8 Star" are the finest. The Colonial club, especially beau- tiful, represents Hollywood's swank- fest night club. The story of "Pick a Star" concerns the riotout mis- adventures of small town boy try ing to get his sweetheart in pictures. He goes to Hollywood, becomes a waiter in its most fashionable club, is discovered there by his girl and her sister who have arrived un- expectedly. Through series of hu- morous events he manages to get job at a motion picture studio and finally the girl gets her big chance. then she deserts him. But that's not the end of the story, oh, no! It's the beginning of some of the fastest and funniest comedy ever seen on any screen. So once again we repeat-don't fail to see this super-laugh special - and watch your troubles evaporate.
 The companion feature on this program is the revival of the fa- nous silent picture and the stage play "The Thirteenth Chair" which features a brilliant cast including Madge Evans, Dame May Whitty (of Might Must Fall' fame). Lewis Stone, Elissa Landi and Thomas Beck.

STRAND

Mark Twain's great adventure story "The Prince And The Pauper" heads the new show opening at Warmers Strand theater today.
 Former stage presentations of the classic have been hampered some what by the necessity of having the two title roles played by one actor Cor actress). And in the silent film version, trick shots" and double exposures were used. But the Mauch twins, Billy and Bobby, twelve year old actors of no mean dramatic ability have solved that problem. Billy and Bobby are identical twins, so what could be more fitting than that Bobby should play young Prince Edward, heir to the throne of King Henry VIII, and that Billy whom you will remember as young "An- thony Adverse") should play Tom Canty, the pauper boy who looked exactly like the prince?
 The companion feature Is "The Girl From Scotland Yard" the thrill packed adventures of a girl spy. Karen Morley. Robert Baldwin, Katherine Alexander and Eduardo Cianelli head brilliant cast.

|AQUACADE MAKES THEATRICAL HISTORY
 WITH 12O ARMS SPLASHING IN RHYTHM
Dance Routine Moves Into
 Water
By WILLIS THORNTON

(NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Cleveland, June 9.-With all Lake Erie stretching darkly across to Canada as a backdrop, with 60 pairs of arms rising ana falling rhythm ically in the water between stage and audience, the Great Lakes Ex- position is making theatrical history at each performance of Billy Roses Aquacade.
 Nothing quite like this combina- tion of musical extravaganza, op- eretta, diving and swimming show, night club, and outdoor hippo drome has ever been put on the stage before.
 Spectacular effects of diving and swimming in unison, of duet dance" numbers when Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm do an aquatic Astaire-R Rogers to mu- sic, with arms cleaving the water in intricate patterns, together with every trick of ensemble dancing and tableau known to past masters like John Murray Anderson and Robert Alton - all plus a huge floating stage - make the Aqua cade unique.
 Shiver in Sympathy
 New York drama critics shiv- cred i'll sympathy as platoons of swimmers drew themselves drip ping out of he lagoon, whose tenn perature was just above 50 de- grees. Lake Erie warns up slowly in the spring. The audience, f1ll- ing 2O0O seats at tables and 5000 plain seats, warns up faster as the pageantry unrolls before them.
 The show makes plentiful use of the sort of flashy massed cos tune numbers that Anderson cre- ated in the Greenwich Village and Ziegfeld Follies. Then winches get to work and begin to tow the whole gigantic stage over toward Canada, leaving broad lagoon between audience and the stage. And the chorus, marching sedately down a set of steps in colums of fours, plunges into the water and goes right on with the dance rou- tine in the water, keeping perfect time with the music and maneu- vering with almost as great pre- ciSion as on the dry stage.
 Shrug at Shower of Rain
 Olympic diving champions Dick Degener, Marshall Wayne, Sammy Howard, Helen Howard, and Bill Northrup demonstrate their prow- ess from various stages of the 6O- foot diving towers at each side of the stage.
 Revolving stages mounted on barges change the sets from Cali fornia to Florida without halt in the performance. Phosphores- cent costumes glow in the dark, and frilly chorines shrug at a shower of rain, their costumes al- ready waterproofed against the

dry path where dripping swim merS have not trod.
 Sails and Booming Gunboats
 Taking full advantage of the great size of the water-lagoon available, gay sailboats with eel lophane sails ply about among the swimmers, and in the finale num- Der, no less than a complete navy Gin miniature) sails out with guns booming, lights flashing, and flags flying.
 Anderson, veteran producer, stood in the wings looking up at the ex- panse of tables and seats. Well" he murmured, Eff you put the old New Amsterdam roof and the New

barges that support the stage. The
 trim Miss Holm, dripping like a seal, is greeted at the landing stage by a maid who immediately swathes her in a huge bathrobe and steers her into a tiny wooden dressing room for change of cos
 tune. Whole files of chorus men" emerge from the lake and shake themselves as they reach for 8 bathrobe. Johnny Weissmuller, in sheer joy at swimming again, takes a dive off the back edge fo the float, unseen by the audience. Whole platoons of frilly chorines and show-girls pick their way across the ohat, trying to find a

Night and day two sisters are, The one is dark the other fair; Each comes with hours richly stocked, Each with purpose, for they bear Gifts. For working hours, service, play, Day brings the blessing of the light; But when a well-earned lull is sought The more to muse why, then the night Brings sweet repose.
