Beckstrand Does Nice
Mail Order Business;
RaisedWih q Hammer

Give him pair of laces aud a
tongue and tell him what size you
wear and E. 0. BeckStrand can
build you as fine a pair of shoes
as ever you wore. J
At least that's the impression
around Redwood Falls and it
isn't a snap judgment, as Mr.
Beckstrand has been in business
here for nearly Is years.
81 was born with D hammer in
my hand" Mr.. Beckstrand eX-
plains when asked how he got in
to the business. But it's a slight
eXaggeratiOn. His father owned
shoe store at LitchfieId and the
Beckstrand boys were put to
work in the repair shop.
An expert shoe rebuilder, really
an artist in his line, Mr.. Beck
strand is q member Of the Shoe
Repairers Guild, a craftsmen'S Or
ganization of nationwide scope,
and the Minnesota Shoe Rebuild
ers association.
Hand skill has some part of
every repair job which passes
through his shop, as even his
seven modern and efficient mach
ines which stitch and trim and
finish footwear can't add that
final touch.
Between 30 and 70 pairs of
shoes are repaired daily in his
quarters at the rear of the john
son Shoe store where he is ably
assisted by Don Simpson, general
handyman. Don also presides at
the shoeShine chair.
you did such fine work on my
shoes when l lived in Redwood
Falls, that I want you to keep on
repairing them,' 49,. Mr.. Beck
strand receives lots of letters
starting that way from former
residents and visitors. He even
has some customers from his
Litchfield days.
Mail order business comes to
him regularly from all parts OF
Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa
and Wisconsin.

'JEZEBEL' HEADS
 STATE PROGRAM
"L0ve, Honor and Behave" Other Feature on Bill
 Beginning Today

Bette Davis, winner of the Acad- emy award as the greatest dramatic actress in pictures, adds new laurels to her bowery wreath with her mar velous performance in "Jezebel,' J which heads the outstanding dou- ble bill being presented at Warner Brothers State theater for four day engagement starting today and ending Monday night.
 Quoting Ed Sullivan, movie col umniSt for New York's Daily News: Bette Davis in 'Jezebep is a good bet for the 1888 Academy award. :. She's terrific" Sullivan is only one of the country's' leading critics who have nominated Bette as their can- didate for the honor.
 Characterizations that have made her the leading dramatic star of to- day include of Human Bondage" in which she played opposite Leslie Howard, giving such a brilliant and mercilesS characterization of Somer- set Maughan's beautiful and vicious Cockney waitress, that screen audi ences gasped aloud. In Dangerous, which won her the Academy award for the best screen performance of the year, she played drink -sodden beauty who ruined the lives of all her lovers. Marked Woman" showed her as hard-boiled night club hos tess, part of an underworld mob.
 But these characters were hero ines of sweetness and light compar- ed with Julie, the "JezebeP' of pre- Civil War New Orleans. Heartless, selfish and spoiled, she def1es all the traditions of the day-sends away the man she loves because of silly whim. Next she proceeds to break the heart and spirit of an- other dashing cavalier. His life ends in duel fought over her. When her former beau marries another woman, she eXertS all her old charm to win him away from his wife. That's the kind of gal "Jezebel' is. And that's the kind of acting that Bette Davis excels in.
 George Brent, Henry Fonda, Mar garet Lindsay, Fay Bainter, Donald Crisp, Richard Cromwell, John Litel and many other famous players are

included in the supporting cast.
 The other entertaining winner on the program is Love, Honor and Behave" co-starring Wayne Nor ris an1 Priscilla Lane. "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon," the swing tune which has taken the nation by storm is featured in the picture for the first time on the screen. And you havn't heard it until you hear Priscilla croon it to Wayne.
 The story, based on Stephen Vim cent Benet's Saturday Evening Post story, Everybody Was Very Nice, " deals with 8 pair of childhood sweethearts who grow up in an at- mosphere of divorce. They marry and that's when the trouble starts, but they overcome their difficulties in novel fashion. One of the high lights in the picture is said to be a fistic battle between Ways:e and Priscilla, out of which both emerge with black eyes and brand new respect for each other.
 The State theater's parade of hits continue with two more outstanding hits opening Tuesday. They are Start Cheering" with Jimmy Du- rante, Walter Connolly and Joan Perry heading the cast; also Lloyd Nolan in Trip Of Girl"

COMP0UNCE OPENS WITH CHICK WEB zy
Dance Hall Presentations Start April "; Roller
 Skating Tomorrow

The roller-skating season at Lake Compounce will start tomorrow night in the beautiful new roller dome erected by Pierce and Norton last spring. The huge rink has been completely repainted and redeco- rated, and the equipment is in per- feet condition for the gala occasion. Lake Compounce is accredited with having one of the finest roller-Skat- ing rinks in the east, one that can be entirely enclosed and heated on chilly nights in the early spring and late fall, yet thrown wide open to the cool lake breezes during the hot summer weather. The setting is ideal with excellent acoustics and a floor and skates that are delight to the most critical. Previous to the formal opening of the park on May 30, skating sessions will be held each week on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday nights.
 Chick Webb and his orchestra, featuring Ella Fitzgerald, will in- augurate the dance season at Lake Compounce on Easter Sunday night April IT. In his only appearance at the lake last summer he drew the second largest crowd of the season, coming very close in fact to the all- time record set by Horace Heidt. The management plans to bring to Compounce this summer some of the very finest dance attractions in tine country including such names as Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Bob Crosby, Horace Heidt, Sammy Kay, Hal Kemp and host of others.
 < Saturday night dances will start On April 23 with music by Hal Mo- Intyre's popular orchestra, and starting early in May series of Polish dances will be weekly treat on Thursday nights, featuring the well known Krakowska broadcasting orchestra of Springfield and Hart ford.

HILARIOUS FILM AT LOEW'S POLL
"Merrily We Live" Opens Tomorrow Starring |. Constance Bennett

Laughter, spontaneous and con- tinuous, will sweep through the Loew Poli theater tomorrow, with the opening of "Merrily We Live" Constance Bennett and Brian Aherne, co-Stars in the lively and hilarious comedy directed by Nor man z. Mcleod, remembered for the high standard he set few months ago in Topper" romp through its varied moods of mirth and romance in two brilliant performances.
 Miss Bennett appears as the spoil ed and spirited daughter of Kill bourne household, as curious, ec- centric and lovable group of char acters ever to lodge under one roof. Her bright and pointed delineation of modern girl is both amusing and appealing. Dignity if cast to the four winds if the occasion demands and Miss Bennett enters into the mad capers demanded by the script with an infectious gayety.
 Aherne's role is much broader in comedy values than any he has heretofore portrayed. His entrance as a tramp with tattered clothes and 8 two-day growth of beard fore- casts mix-up in identities and around this feature is built a series of events that stamp the young British actor as light comedian of <,tIo1ifvy n fhn shift from fun-making to romance with delft touches and whether hobo, chauffeur or guest in impeccable evening attire, enacts the character with an intelligent restraint.
 Much of the hilarity if furtherd by the inclusion in the cast of Alan Mowbray, and Patsy Kelly, butler and cook, respectively. Miss Kelly's humor is rollicking and boisterous and Mowbray has improved upon even that rare portrait of a gentle mans gentleman that he gave in Topper.
 Billie Burke as the absent-minded, well-meaning philantropist who re- deems hoboes even at the cost ot the family silver and other relics, adds i1nmeasurably to the dizzy pace of "Merrily We Live. Tom Brown as her son and Benita Granville as the sub-deb daughter offer much laughter and gain much sympathy in sketching the plight of the younger generation. Clarence Kelb, veteran actor of the stage, makes an suspicious appearance as the be- leaguered head of the household. Marjorie Rambeau, Ann Dvorak and Phillip Reed are other members of this stellar cast.
 The production has been made on a lavish scale. Settings are of ex- ceptional beauty and provide a stunning background for the adven- lures of the merry, mad Kilbournes.
 Exciting as Broadway itself =. as teeming with drama as its sha- dowy side streets, Walking Down Broadway" comes to the Loew Poli theater as the second big hit on this outstanding program.
 This thrilling and exciting film features Phyllis Brooks, Claire Ire yer, Dixie Dunbar, Jayne Began, Leah Ray, Lynn Bari, Michael Wha- len, Thomas Beck, Douglas FoWley, and Walter Woolf King.
 Attractions ending their engage ment this evening include debonair William Powell and delightful Annabella in The Baroness and the Butler" and Murder in Greenwich Village" with Richard Arlen and Fay Wray.
