STATE

Capacity audiences attending Warner Brothers State theater yes- terday were well pleased with the opening performance of Doctor Rhythm" starring Bing Crosby with Beatrice Lille, Mary Carlisle and Andy Devine cast in the featured roles.
 This light-hearted o. Henry story of New York physician who dons a policeman's uniform for day, only to fall in love with the beauti- full young lady he is assigned to guard, kept audiences in jovial mood during its entire presentation. Heralded as the best of Bing's long list of scree ntriumphs, 1t is a pie ture you positively will enjoy, so don't fail to see 1t over the weekend as 1t is the best movie-bet in town.

Bing's wonderful voice proves a bet ter weapon than his silver police- mans badge, and, with the long arm of the law around her she soon for gets about her disreputable suitor.
 Even during the throes of his love affair with Miss Carlisle, Bing man. ages to get across four startling mu- sical numbers, and Miss Lilies pre- occupation with the police does not prevent her from being the lovable mad scamp who has put theater au- diences half the world over at her feet
 Andy Devine is his successfully comic self as Bing's policeman friend, whose hapless wrestling match with Central Park seal puts him out of action and Bing into his his uniform.
 Louis Armstrong and his band appear in an entertaining speciality number while other of the cast who deserve mention because of their ex- cellent support include Laura Hope Crews. Frank Elliott, Bill Austin and Sterling Holloway.

POLI'S

Today, across the Loew Poli screen, moves significant caval- cade of romance, splendor, excite ment and fun, in the screens s greatest masterpiece, "T'he Adven- lures of Marco Polo" starring the popular Gary Cooper.
 This production offers Cooper in his most romantic role as the swashbuckling adventurer who was the worlds first travelling salesman and opened the first important trade route between Europe and Asia during the colorful reign of the great Chinese Emperor, Kublai Khan, fighting and loving as he went.
 Gary, exactly eleven years ago, was rangy Hollywood cowboy, who paraded with hundred dif- ferent western types before the critical gaze of the producer who was choosing his cast for a pictur- ization of Harold Bell Wright's novel, "The Winning of Barbara Worth"
 And young MT. Cooper, who had been eking out a precarious exist ence, as western type extra, was discovered" Sam Goldwyn gave him the second male lead in the film, in which Ronald Colman had the principal role.
 Gary Cooper justified Goldwyn's faith in his screen possibilities by a brilliant performance in Barbara Worth" The critics lauded the new actor with the sincere grey eyes, and other movie producers soon discovered him too."
 Gary, starred in some of the biggest productions of the cinema, is back to thrill you anew, as he portrays at his best, the lovable, romantic, swashbuckling Marco Polo.
 The picture also introduces Sig rid Gurie, a Norwegian beauty, who will captivate audiences with her rare loveliness, charm and ability.
 The production has been bril- liantly directed by Archie Mayo from screen play by Robert E. Sherwood for release through Unit ed Artists, and the magnificent sets capture perfectly the atmosphere of Thirteenth Century China. Among the most impressive of these are the Great Wall of China and the palace of the Khan.
 One of the most glorious enter tainments of all time, "The Adven- lures of Marco Polo" must be seen. It will thrill and delight you.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Jack Hubert and Patricia Ellis in story of gay Farce. "The Gaiety Girls"
 An added treat Saturday and Sunday matinee is the showing of Chapter 4, of radSos most popular serial. "The Lone Ranger"

Little
 Miss MMMet

That's Yvonne alone who stars in this Mother Goose drama of Little Miss Muffet," played here In two acts. She's actually sitting on tuffet, too, but that full skirt of her quaint costume hides 1t all. The spider? Oh, yes; it's paper.
 In Act 1 the heroine makes a perfect picture of innocence and unawareness of impending trag- edy. In Act IT the star is being frightened all right, but you know how 1t IS with these modern chil- dren; they'd just as soon sock spider over the conk with a silver spoon. Lots more fun than being born with one in your mouth.
 Next Week: Little Bo-peep.
