'Scores Guard State

New Outbreaks

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. (UP)
Only two large forest fires re-
manned out of control in California
today, but scores of smaller blazes
kept an army of fighters in the
field to prevent possible spreading
and to watch for new fires in
the dry mountain areas.
The uncontrolled fires were IN
the Trinity and klamath national
forests. but officials reported that
weather conditions were more Ia
vorable and it was thought the
flames of both conflagrations
would be checked by new fire lanes
constructed by several hundred CCC
youths.
Authorities attributed their Sue
cess in fighting the worst epidemic
of forest fires in California in 20
years to the manner in which gov
ernment agencies had been organ
lied to meet such an emergency.
They compared the fire crews
to a large military force of occupa-
ton CCC enrollees, armed with
axes and shovels,, were likened to
infantry. Caterpillar tractors drag
ging wind machine, water wagons
and portable pumps represented ar
tillery. Airplanes, flying over flam-
ing forests, performed observation
duty, guided the land forces to the
fire fronts, and dropped food sup
plies, tobacco and first aid equip
ment to men in isolated areas.

STATE

Current attractions concluding their engagement with perform ances tonight at Warner Brothers State theater after a very success full run of four days include Her Jungle Lover," co-starring Dorothy Lamour and Ray Milland; also Little Miss Roughneck" with Edith Fellows and Leo Carrillo in the top roles.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in two more outstanding hits that are included in it's spring parade of hits" program.
 Popular Lee Tracy, the quick thinking, fast-talking man who knows all the answers, is back to thrill local movie-goers in his lat est starring vehicle Crashing Hollywood" the headliner of this exceptionally fine program.
 Joan Woodbury, who made her film debut less than three years ago, marks another forward step in her spectacular screen career being cast opposite Tracy in the leading feminine role to form a new TO- mantle combination.
 It shows the romance between Miss Woodbury, candidate for screen fame, and Tracy, an ambi- tious author who abides in the film capital to write scenarios.
 Tracy is shown as collaborate with Paul Guilfoyle and his wife, Lee Patrick, in writing his first picture - not knowing that Guil- foyle is an ex-convict, nor that he is writing in a real criminal, "The Hawk" as the leading character in the film, which deals with an actual robbery in which both Guil- foyle and "The Hawk" were involv- ed.
 When the picture is released, however, it's amazing revelations of the inside facts" of the robbery bring surprising results, and Tracy finds himself in an exceedingly dire situation. The complications come thick and fast, and make the pie ture one of the really unique offer ings of the season.
 The film was adapted from suc- cessful Broadway play by Paul Dickey and Mann Page.
 The other entertaining winner of the program is Warner Brothers Blondes at Work" with the splen- did comedy team of Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane co-starred.
 Glenda once more plays that flip pant but winsome girl reporter named "Torchy Blanc" and the husky Barton steps again into the role of Police Lieutenant Steve Mo- Bride, her boy friend.
 Many other favorites share hon. ors in the supporting cast.

In The Local

POLI'S

Interest is at high pitch for the premiere in this city Wednesday of "Victoria the Great" proclaimed as offering the triple lure of historical accuracy, spectacular power and romantic fervor. The production gorgeously dramatizes the life of Great Britairl,s famous sovereign, as girl and queen, as wife and widow, and particularly her epic love for her consort, Prince Albert of Saxe- Coburg and Gotha.
 It is the inside story of Victoria's s romance with Prince Albert, their courtship, marriage and welded life, that strikes the human interest note resoundingly, by demonstrating that the love which makes the world go round" is alike to royalty and commoner, to modern as well as Victorian times. Anna Neagle, Eng lands favorite screen actress, ap- pears as Queen Victoria, CO., starred with Anton Walbrook, inter- national stage and screen star. H. B. Warner, as Lord Melbourne, and Walter Rilla, as Prince Ernest, are featured players.
 No picture heroine could be more wistfully attractive than this young girl of eighteen, so suddenly bur- dened with tremendous cares of state and confronting problems of international importance. Previews reveal that the part is played with superb emotional power by Miss Neagle. Nor will spectators easily forget such thrill:ilg episode as the attempted assassination of the Queen, and the gallantry of the courageous Prince, vividly portrayed by Anton Walbrook, in shielding her with his body against the would d-be-murderer's bullets. Of par ticular interest to Americans is the exciting scene where Victoria's time ly intervention and fearless coercing of her Prime Minister, prevents the sending of an insolent dispatch to Washington, which would inevitably have caused a bloody war between the United States and England in 1861.
 It is the first time that the regal figure of Victoria has been drama tized by permission of the British government.
 The second big hit on the pro- gram is another of the hilarious Jones Family hits, "A Trip to Paris"
 Current attractions now at Loew'S Poli include "The Girl Of the Golden Vest" co-starring Jeanette Mac Donald and Nelson Eddy, the sing ing "Sweethearts of the screen, and a comedy riot of laughs, This Mar riage Business" with Victor Moore and Vicki Lester.
