POLI'S

Millions the world over have been enthralled by the warmth, the ten- derness and the charming beauty of Johanna Syyri's beloved story of Heidi and all the colorful folk who lived and laughed and loved high up in the Swiss Alps. just beneath the stars. Translated into all lan- guages and read everywhere, 1t is a story that had to wait for its star before 1t could be brought to the screen. The Twentieth Century-FoX production of "Heidi" starring Shir- ley Temple, opens today at the Loew-Poli theater. This is the pic- ture for which Shirley will always be remembered.
 Heidi" brings a Shirley Temple more glorious than has even been known, in the picture she was asked to make by thousands of fans who wrote to her studio. Bringing love to hearts filled with hate, and Q twinkle to eyes filled with tears, Heidi" tells of an embittered moun- tain-top exile, brilliantly portrayed by Jean Hersholt, reclaimed from his fierce hatred of the world, of a young girl who finds the strength and courage to walk again, and of the little heroine who brings every one new zest for life.
 Arthur Preacher and Helen Vest ley play prominent roles in the story and Pauline Moore and Thom- as Beck, Mary Nash, Sidney Black mer, Mady Christians, Sig Rumann are also featured in the cast. It was in We Willie Winkie" that she made her first attempt at a

 Hollywood-Lustrous little Eleanor Holm isn't quite sure that she likes being a movie actress. It's pretty strenuous. As the gal-pal of Ape Man Glenn Morris, in "Tarzan's Revenge" she gets rougher treat ment than she received at the hands of the American Olympic commit tee.
 Standing on the edge of a movie swamp, into which she soon would have to wade, the former amateur backstroke champion of the world complained that as 8 film player she never knows whether she's good or bad.
 "After we've done a scene . few times the director says 'Olkay' and they start setting up for an- other scene. That's all there Is to it.
 "In swimming races I always knew when I'd finished, and I could judge whether I was good by whether I'd won. And on the SUdBC VAlC UuOACAAOC VS4Ao JVN whether you're doing all right"
 A few days ago Miss Holm had to get into a tank and race with some crocodiles. Or maybe they were alligators. Their jaws were tied shut, but there was no way to keep them from threshing around with their tails.
 T was scared" admitted Miss Holm. T still think I must have set some new worlds records get ting out of that water"

 And now, for hours, Miss Holm had been standing up to her shoul- ders in a roily swamp. She was supposed to be struggling help- lessly in the muck while Tarzan and . chimpanzee, swinging on ropes disguised as vines, came through the forest to her rescue.
 l suggested that the water looked almost as bad as the Cleveland lake front. (Miss Holm was swimming all summer at Billy Roses Aquacade at the Great Lakes Exposition.)
 She laughed and said Lake Erie wasn't SO bad because they used to throw buckets of chlorine into it before each performance. Out here, though, the stage hands throw cigaret stubs into her swamp. Still i'm Training
 Sol Lesser and Principal Produc- tions hold an option for her to make four more pictures after '"Tarzan's Revenge" but the com pany and she both are waiting to see the results of this flicker before they make any plans.
 She expects to go to New York soon to appear in Billy Roses Follies, and after that would like to sandwich pictures between stage musicals. She likes the stage, even better than pictures or swimming.
 She said: q haven't swum in competition since I was kicked off the Olympic team. Pardon me, I mean dismissed from the team; somebody said that sounds better.
 Anyway, the results were the same-I didn't get to swim. At least I made Q lot of friends among the newspaper boys. They were all complaining how dull the trip was until that champagne

STATE

All those loud guffaws you hear emoting from Warner Brothers State theater these past few after moons and evenings have been caused by the antics of Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in that superla- lively funny comedy 'The Awful Truth" The picture heads a top notch twin feature program which ends on Monday night.
 The film is undiluted joy. It is based on the Arthur Richman stage success of the same name in which Ina Claire starred. The story is as meaty as 1t is funny, and happily stays on this side of the "screwball" sort of screen fare.
 Coming to the screen from the wit-dipped pen of Vera Delmar, au- thor of Bad Girl" "rhe Awful Truth" depicts the marital mishaps of the Mariners, played by Miss Dunne and Cary Grant. Wealthy and very much in love with each other, they nevertheless come to grief in the divorce courts when misunderstanding are amplified with disastrous results.
 "The Awful Truth" belongs on anyone's must" list. It is brilliant high comedy, played with distinc- ton and restraint, and never veers from its hilarious course.
 The companion feature is Love Is On The Air" which combines mys- tery, comedy and thrilling drama and uses a radio commentator as its leading character. Incidentally the film introduces Ronald Reagan Q newcomer for whom quick star dom is assured. June Travis appears at the head of splendid supporting cast. "The Awful Truth" is shown daily at 1:15, 4:05, 6:55 and 9:So.

 The story is a drama of romance and tribulation in the seething life of the city. It could be any city. As 1t happens, 1t is New York, because we recognize Jack Dempsey's fa- nous restaurant in the shadow Of Madison Square Garden and many of the sporting fraternity who dine there.
 The supporting cast was carefully chosen and they achieve their re- spective roles effectively. Among outstanding players are Charley Grapewin, Janet Beecher, Eddie Quillan, Victor Varconi, Oscar O'Shea Helen Troy, William De- marest, John Arledge, Irving Ba- con, Quinn Williams and Regis Toomey.

"When we play their competitions we have to play special transesiptions. Now we can play music by the leading living composers of Europe and America. These musicians are well coming the opportunity. There's big money for them in band music. At the same time, they know there is no sacrifice of their artistic in. tegrity."
