POLI's


 Tomorrow evening the Loew Poli Theater is presenting at p. m. for one performance only, an outstand- ing vaudeville bill, featuring some of Broadway's leading entertainers.
 Heading the bill are two of the worlds most brilliant dancers, Don and Dolores, presenting some great original dance routines of their own: for comedy in the laugh-pro- voking manner we give you Tom Olson and Robbie Johnson who have had night club audiences in an uproar wherever they have made personal appearances; another real treat will be found in the person of devastating Cassie Andrews, rated by audiences and critics alike as a second Judy Cavona. Cassie has just completed a record breaking en- gagement at the famous Interna- tional House in New York City and vowed audiences at the gigantic Roxy Theater; Lee and Lucille, celebrated acrobats add many thrills to the program, and concud- ing this grand array of talent are the widely acclaimed Dixie Four who possess Scintillating style of rhythm and song rendition. Furnishing the musical back ground of the show are Gus Myers and the Loew Poli Theater orches- | tra.
 On the screen is splendid double smash bill including '"The Shining Hour" starring Joan Crawford, Margaret Sullavan, Melvyn Douglas, Robert Young and Fay Bainter, and on the same program Road Demon" with Henry Armetta.
 Tomorrow at midnite, the Loew Poli Theater is presenting gala Thanksgiving Eve Midnight show at which Mickey Rooney's latest hit, Out West With The Hardy's" and "Up The River" will have their To- cal premiere.
 Out West With The Hardys, is the latest in this popular series depicting the adventures of Amer ica's favorite family, and in addi- tion to Mickey who portrays Andy Hardy, has all the Hardy family favorites including beloved Lewis Stone as Judge Hardy, Fay Holden as Mother Hardy, Cecelia Parker as Marion, & Fay Holden as Aunt Mill ly. New comedy is injected into this series with the appearance in this brand new adventure of little Vir- ginia Wielder, who with Mickey, provides more laughs than there were in Love Finds Andy Hardy" On the same program is another smash hit Up The River" boast ing of grand cast headed by sing ing Tony Martin, Phyllis Brooks, Preston Foster and dancing Bill Robinson.
 | Make up party now and plan to attend this gala event. You'll be thankful for the real down-to-earth entertainment to be found in the great show outlined a3ove. Don't miss it!

 Today
STATE

Theatergoers have until { o'clock tomorrow afternoon in which to see Girls School" starring Nan Grey, Ann Shirley and Ralph Bellamy; also Bob Burns and Fay Bainter in "The Arkansas Traveller, cur- rent attractions at the Warner Brothers State theater.
 The spirit of Thanksgiving will prevail in all its glory at the War ner Brothers State tomorrow even- ing, for promptly at 6 o'clock the doors of this popular theater will swing open to a history making screen event, the advance showing and Gala Premier of the big holiday bill which begins its regular en- gagement Thanksgiving day.
 Tickets are on sale at the box office and many theatergoers are taking advantage of this opportun- ity by getting theirs early. Latest reports have it that a gay holiday audience will attend this premiere, so why not make up party and above all get your tickets early.
 Headlining this program is War ner Brothers sensational hit Angels With Dirty Faces" with perfect cast of James Cagney and Pat o. Brien in the co-starring leads and the Dead End Kids, Humphrey Bogart, Ann Sheridan and George Bancroft in the featured roles.
 While the picture deals with un- derworld characters it cannot be adequately described as a gangster film; it is dedicated to the thou sands of stub boys who sometime during the next week or year must choose between crime and honesty.
 In this production. the inimitable Cagney returns to the type of role which first brought him fame and in which the public has always liked him best.
 Pat O'Brien will be seen in the strongest role of his career, that of a priest, who at one time was a boyhood pal of Cagney's. Contribut- ing their talents for both comedy and drama to the story are that famous sextette of toughies, the Dead End" kids. Ann Sheridan in the leading feminine role, handles her first strong dramatic role with remarkable ability. Humphrey Be- gart, as a shyster lawyer and George Bancroft, as the kingpin of the underworld, are more sinister than they have ever appeared before.
 Included on the same bill is the second big hit, colorful story of college life, Swing That Cheer" starring Tom Brown, Constance Moore and Andy Devine with a large supporting cast of favorites. Football is the keynote of this pie ture and theatergoers are in for plenty of the same when they view it. Some of the most sensational football scenes ever filmed are in- cluded in this film, football like you never saw it played before.

STRAND

Current attractions concluding their engagements this evening at the Warner Bros.' Strand Theate1 include Straight Place and Show starring the Ritz Brothers with Richard Arlen, Phyllis Brooks and Ether Norman; also Five of A Kind" starring the Dionne Quintu- pulets with Jean Hersnolt.
 One of the most successful pro- auctions of the year will make its debut on the screen of the Strand tomorrow with the presentation of Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You" starring a great cast composed of Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, James Stewart, Edward Arnold, MiScha Auer and many others too numerous to mention.
 This production is rated as ano- ther Capra triumph and, is said tc surpass the previous successes o1 this great producer-director. It is said to be better in every way than even the original Pulitzer Prize play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Incidentally the original stage play is still running successfully on Broadway and it is reported that theatergoers have already paid over three million dollars to see it in key cities throughout the country.
 The film deals with the lovable and perfectly delightful Vanderhot family, which believes in doing what ever it wants whenever it wants it
 It is in part concerned with the proud aristocratic Kirbys, as well as with the carefree Vanderhofs. The story is said to be packed with de- lightful comedy and delightfully."- as- tonishing incidents. The romance and merry-made conflict of the two families, coupled with the enjoyable hobbies of the VanderhofS and their many friends is declared to make this production one of the outstand- ing of the season.
 On the same show is "King of

Balance Anticipated
 From Paving Project
Surplus to Be Diverted to Other Needed Civic Improve
 ments-Funds Voted for Sewing Project Here

A balance of about $96,000 from the $196,000 originally appropriated from the street paving and general improvement bonds for the paving of Baldwin street will be available for other paving projects is was re- ported to the board of finance yes- terday by Controller Sherwood L.. Rowland. But Commissioner John H. Goss questioned the accuracy of this figure inasmuch as there are still some outstanding bills after the state took over the project, thus saving the estimated $100,000 for the city.
 Estimate Balance
 On his motion, the matter was re- ferred to City Engineer Charles A. Root for an estimate on the actual balance available so that the board may allocate money from this ball. ance to various WPA projects whose funds are drained during the en- suing months.
 Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp, super visor of welfare, and Miss Lucy Holabird, WPA supervisor, appeared before the board to request appro- priation of enough money to con- tinue the sewing project which en- ploys about 89 persons and would have to be closed down next week unless funds were provided. After dis cussion, 1t was determined that a $15, ,000 balance is available from the fund set up to pay 1897 floating bills and other items. The board voted to transfer 5000 from such items in the welfare department to

Truck Hire Discussed
 By Board Of Finance
Rowland Alleges Thousands of Dollars Wasted-City
 Pays Less Than Government Works Board

Aldermen to make a transfer to provide funds for the rental of three trucks to be used for sewer maintenance work for the re- mainingj half of the year and for this purpose estimates the amount required to be $8,00O00 The transfer was referred to committee of the Board of Alder men for investigation and Alder man Bane informs me that he has secured prices which include the cost and maintenance of three new trucks for a period of six months and the total cost is ap- proximately $500 less than the amount requested by the Street Department for rental of three trucks. This, in my opinion, is a very good argument in favor of the city's owning its own trucks.
 "In view of the information that I have received, I can only say that the superintendent of streets is providing his depart ment with rented trucks on the most expensive basis, namely that of hiring them by the hour when he might either purchase the equipment, at least in part, or provide this service to his department on the basis of com- petitive bid"

TWENTY KILLED
 IN PLANE CRASH
Italian Warships and Air. planes Search Waters of
 Sea for Their Bodies

Calgliari, Sardinia, July 16.-CUP) --Warships and airplanes. searched the waters of the Tyrrhenian sea between Sardinia and Italy today Tor bodies of victims of an airplane crash which killed 16 passengers and the four members of the crew.
 Warships picked up six bodies and the wreckage of the plan off Port Arbatax on the east coast of Sar- dinia late last night.
 The victims included two sisters and a niece of Gen. Giuseppe Valle, undersecretary of aviation. Most of the others were school teachers, in- cluding two women, who were on the way home to various cities in Italy after acting as state examin- CTS in the summer examinations in Sardinian schools.
 News of Lost Plane
 The airplane left Calgliari at 7:35 a. m. Wednesday. Late last night an official communique announced that the plane had not arrived at Rome, its destination, and that fears were entertained for passengers and crew. Almost immediately after ward it wsa announced that all aboard were lost. It was estimated that the plane crashed about an hour after 1t left Cagliari. Experts suggested that wing of the plane might have collapsed. No sos sig nal was heard so 1t was assumed that disaster overwhelmed the plane suddenly.
 Gen. Valle and Deputy Humberto Klinger, president of the Alalittoria Air Navigation company, owners of the plane, were on one of the planes which searched for bodies and wreckage.

 Property Auction
 Auction of the American Ring Company property is being held to- day by the city and, in the event there are no bidders, to the amount of the taxes due, about $40,000, the city will take the property and a watchman and insurance were voted by the commissioner to protect the property in the latterly eventuality. Commissioner Major w. Judge re- commended that the Griffenhagen & Associates, accountants, be asked for recommendations on how to handle property taken over by the city in other instances.
 The board voted to "cover" var ious properties taken for taxes, with liability insurance in the instances where the properties have been leased to tenants. The costs of this will be charged to the corporation counsel's budget after the board of aldermen make a recommended change in the court costs" item, to legal costs"
 Foreclosures
 Commissioner Goss recommended holding up sale of five pieces of property taken over by the Bron- son library trustees until the amounts of mortgages on the prop critics have been determined. He said that the city would have better chance to sell the properties and

While Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, reported yesterday to the Board of Finance that some rentals of trucks by the Street Department are at "too high" a rate, exception to this was taken by board mem bers and Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, consensus being that the rates, while patterned on WPA charges, are actually lower than the federal schedules.
 Further, the recommendation of the controller, that the city pur- chase new trucks instead of renting them met with rebuff from the commissioners.
 There's an item of $7,000 in the budget of the Street Department for this purchase" the controller protested.
 Mayor Frank Hayes asked that the controller show this item to the board. A copy of the budget was offered the controller and the off communicable into hurried confer- ence.
 I've been misinformed," the con- troller finally admitted, after he had failed to find the item"
 The controller had found no fault with the rates for short periods" of hire, but reported that over long periods he felt the rates were ex- cessive. Commissioner John H. Goss, reminding the controller that there is no item in the budget to provide for purchase of trucks at this time moved that the report be submitted to the Board of Works for consider ation.
 Less Than Federal
 Discussion ensued relating to the rates and Mayor Frank Hayes re- marked that the city pays less than the federal government for its truck hire although the corporation coun- Bel said that the rates were pat termed after WPA payments. Recom- mendation was made that the city consider purchase of trucks when the budget for next year is devised. The controllers report, although failing of purpose because of the transformation given MT. Rowland by his subordinates, is as follows:
 At the last meeting of this board, you referred to me the matter of determining whether or not the rates charged for rental of trucks are reasonable.
 While have not had time to make an exhaustive study of this matter, I have learned from re- liable sources that the rates being charged for the various sizes of trucks could be considered reasonable only when the trucks are hired for short periods of time; for example, few hours 8 day or for just few days at a time, but that if the equipment is used for periods running into several weeks, the charges are excessive.
 have gone back through the records for period of several months and find that we are hir- ing the same trucks for weeks and months at time and ap- parently many thousands of dol- lars are wasted annually by hiring equipment on the present basis.
 While on this subject, it might be advisable for the members of this board to consider whether or not the city should begin to purchase and own its own fleet of trucks, at least sufficient number of trucks to handle the ordinary street maintenance work.
