Capacity audiences attended the
opening performances Of the two
big hit pictures which comprise the
splendid entertainment bill TO be
enjoyed at the Warner Bros. State
theater over the weekend.
Headlining this program Is the
great screen romance If ] Were
King" starring Ronald Colman with
Frances Dee, Ellen Drew and Basil
Rathbone in the large supporting
cast which includes two thousand
others.
Colman's portrayal Of Francois
Villon met with the unanimous
approval of the audience. He tops
oil the romantic figures Of fiction
and history he has played TO date.
This new picture Is outstanding
on many scores-for Colman's Spir-
tied and believable portrayal Of the
poetic rogue who became ruler OF
France for one glorious week, for
Its pulsing love story OF O vagabond
and O royal princess, for Director
Lioyds magnificent handling OF
mob scenes, especially the one in
which the Burgundians are turned
away from the very gates OF Paris,
and finally for the performance OF
Basil Rathbone, who makes Louis
xf, one OF the StrangeSt characters
OF history, q living person.
The picture packs q good sense OF
hurnor into Its action. Colman, the
idol OF the Paris populace, raids the
royal warehouses 10 give his starv-
Ing friends food and Is punished by
the king he robbed by being made
grand constable OF France. Ruler OF
the country for one tumultuous
week, he becomes the slave OF one
Of the queens ladies-in-Waiting.
When stubborn generals refuse 10
90 out and meet the enemy cianor-
Ing at the gates OF Paris, he FORCES
the starving people into O furious
army and leads them out into bat
tie.
The two women In Villonb life
are played by Frances Dee and ri.
len Drew. Miss Dee Is the royal
princess whose kisses inspire the
vagabond TO save France, and Miss
Drew Is the tavern wench who wor.
ships him. Others with leading roles
are O. v. France, Henry Wilcoxon,
Stanley Ridges and Ralph Forbes.
Included on the same bill is the
movie quiz hit Broadway Mus
keteers" starring Margaret Lindsay,
Ann Sheridan, Marie Wilson and
John Litel. The film Is O uniquely
dramatic story with plenty Of COM
edy and romance. II Is first-rate enc
tertainment for everyone, so why
not plan 10 attend today.

Salt should be added before
cooking to extract meat juices,
whereas meat juices are fully re-
tanned by sailing food after cook
ing. Thus, broiled or fried meats
should never be sailed until just
before the last turn on the broiler

Neither Chairman Riley &. El-
gen nor Vice Chairman Richmond
B. Keech had the slightest notion
that the liability bill would be
snatched from almost certain
death and run through the legiSla-
tive hopper by Congress.
HAVEN'T SEEN BILL
"We'll administer whatever
legislation they have given us"
E1gen said. but we haven't seen
the bill yet and don't know i'm
mediately what we'll have to do"
Elgen said the law would add
a further burden to the commits
sion's already understaffed per-
sonnel. The law authorizes the
Utilities Commission to require all
taxicabs to file either a bond or
insurance policy. The limit Of
liability is fixed at $4,000 for per
sonal injury or death and $1,000
property damage for a single judg-
ment and $4,000 for injury or
death and $1,000 property dam
age for all other judgments.
"We've been after Congress
for several years now for addi-
tional personnel. 1 doubt very
much whether the present staff
can carry the added burden"
Elgen said.
CONSTANT CHECK
He pointed out the provision,
insisted on by the House, which
allows a $75,000 blanket bond to
be posted by a company for a
fleet of taxicabs would require a
constant check on each individual
cab.
Both Elgen and Keech expressed
themselves as highly pleased over
passage of the legislation, which
they have recommended for a
number of years.
Whether cab fares are to be in
creased to meet the cost of liabil-
ity surety, commission members
were unable to state.
Keech said q hearing on the
question of a fare raise would be
ordered if a substantial number of
cab operators petitioned for an
increase.
