Sonia Henie Is Starred in Happy Landing" at
 LOew's POIi Tomorrow

A whole new world of joy-laden wonder comes winging from the snow-s -silvered Morseland with Amer ica's newest and sweetest sweetheart Sonia Henie-radiant beyond inn agining, in Happy Landing" the 20th Century Fox production which opens tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater.
 This 1.-the, ecstatically graceful Morse nymph, who came to Amer ican motion picture fans only two pictures ago and astoniShed the en- tire world with her skill as skater and an actress, is radiantly re-uni- ted with her One In A Million" sweetheart, Don Ameche, in her third hit, Happy Landing"
 Surpassing the breathless sensa- tions of "Thin Ice" with scintillating songs, songs and more songs, by Pokrass and Yellen, the wonder girl, breathlessly in love, vertically brings happy tidings, thrilling as even she never thrilled before.
 Cesar Romero, cast as an ego centric orchestra leader who, with his companion, Don Ameche, flies across the Atlantic, starts this mu- sical of superlative splendor on a fast moving pace. An ocean fog puts the flyers off their course and they land in Norway where Jean Her shclt's five daughters Gone of them Sonja) are happily engaged in a Brides Fair" festival
 The local custom that young man who dances twice with girl is proposing to her gets Romero in- volved in a love affair which is all hero-worship on the part of a love- lorn Sonia, and all basking in the ever satisfying warmth of egotism by Romero.
 Don Ameche, sincere in his in- terest, tries to keep things on an even keel. but there is the matter of another girl of Romero's back in the States.
 The two flyers swing from Norway to Paris, Miami and New York in the course of the story. How Romero finally is snagged by Ethel Norman and how the "One In A Million" sweethearts, Sonia and Don, are re- united-is silvery, sumptuous, superlative musical from Sit -Crea- tor Carryl. F. zanuck.
 The two love stories are capably handled by Director Roy Del Ruth from the original screen play by Milton Sperling and Boris Ingster. lips before many days have passed.

and Ben Bernie, also West of Shanghai" with Boris Karloff, Bev- erly Roberts and Ricardo Cortez.
 Sunday brings another of those double hit programs which made the Strand the mecca of local thea tergoers. The headliner of this pro- gram Nothing Sacred" co-stars a new love team, Carole Lombard and Fredric March in one of the fun nieSt and most uproarious of screen vehicles. If you're looking for sheer entertainment that will make you forget you're worldly worries Moth ing Sacred" is just what the doc tor ordered.
 The story is an original by James H. Street and the script is by Ben Hecht who knows more about New York than any man in Manhattan, and he has done one of the best jobs of his writing career in his farcical treatment of Nothing Sacred"
 The cast is an impressive one headed by Carole Lombard and Frederic March, and they enter into the rollicking spirit of the action which calls for them doing every thing from riding on a hook and ladder and jumping off the dock to being the principles in a lavish night club sequence as well as a whirlwind, rough and tumble fight.
 In addition to Charles Winninger other important featured roles are played by Walter Connolly and Maxie RoSenbloom with a veritable

engagement at Warner Brothers State theater, starting today.
 Don't jet anything keep you away! You'll enjoy every minute of this breath taking romance of the swash- buckling daredevil every man longs to be and the fiery woman who was his mate.
 The story is built around the amazing career of Jean Lafitte, pirate king who once held the en- tire gulf coast in his grasp. It was Lafitte who spurned the British offer to assist them in taking New Orleans in 1914 and helped Gen. eral Andrew Jackson defeat the redcoats at the Louisiana city, thus cutting a niche for himself in American history which stands unique in our annals.
 March is seen as a pirate who turns out to be hero when he realizes that his adopted country, the United States, is in danger of destruction. His sweetheart, Mar got Grahame, a New Orleans belle, stimulates his patriotism by insist ing that he become respectable be- fore their marriage.
 Although he helps Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans, he loses both his responsibility and his sweetheart when the secret

gets out that his men destroyed the American merchant ship Cor inthian,' on which Margot's sister and many other prominent cltl- zens were passengers.
 With Jacksons aid March escapes and goes into exile on his flagship. Raven" Franciska Gaal, the only survivor of the "Corin- thian,' whom he has made his maid-of all-work, goes with him, and on the deck of the ship he realizes for the first time that she is the girl he really loves.
 DeMille spared no effort to make this production an over whelming spectacle in keeping with the heart-stirring theme of the infant republic fighting for it's life during the crucial days of the War of 1872.

to be held nightly until every Red

Although the bill of health of
Andy Farkas is yet in doubt, the
rest of the Redskins are in perfect

day in light snow fall and he is
yet bothered by a noticeable limp.
Though a chilles tendon of his

play a big part against the Bears
for it was Ray Flaherty's original
plan to have Baugh and Farkas

dered Farkas away from practices
last night and told him not to tug
on a uniform until tomorrow.
With Farkas in the backfield
the Redskins chances of defeating
the Bears would be greatly en-
hanced for the twin threat of his

would just about duplicate the

When it came down to beating
all the clubs in the American
League, Robert Moses Grove, old
reliable Lefty of the Boston Red
Sox led all the rest, according to
the figures announced by Henry

League Service Bureau. Grove

winning one game and losing one.
He beat the other six clubs. Mel

Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and

Ten pitchers did well against

of them. Jim Bagby, whose daddy
was a jinx to the New Yorkers
twenty odd years ago, was one of
