John Litel as a prison priest, Ward Bond as head william, and Veda Ann Borg as his sweetheart.
 The picture was directed with fast and thrilling tempo by Frank MasDonald, from screenplay byp Crane Wilbur and George Bricker, who adapted from the Warden Lawes original.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Kay Francis and Pat O'Brien in their latest starring vehicle women Are Like That"
 The role given Miss. Francis in the new picture is light, romantic, sophisticated and spicy. She's the wife of advertising genius Pat O'Brien, and when her lovab1e old reprobate father, played by Thurs ton Hall, throws the business into near-bankruptcy by a covered-up embezzlement, she tries to come to the rescue. Sut her sex-appeal methods anger Pat. The pair splits up and after that it's advertising agency war to a happy-clinch finish between estranged husband and wife.

lN OLD CHICACO'
 AT LOEW'S POLL
2Oh Century Fox to Pre- sent Film Which Cost
 Millions of Dollars

All the elements that go into the making of great screen entertain ment will be apparent on the LoeW Poli Screeno tomorrow, when the 20th Century Fox production of Tn Old Chicago" has its premiere ex- hibition.
 This super-Spectacle comes direct from $500 runs on Broadway, where it was the first major event since the New Year. It drew many cele- brities of the stage and screen, among the most conspicuous of whom were Producers Joseph Schenck and DarryY Zanuck, the latter's pretty wife and glamorous Alice Faye.
 It took nearly two years to make Tn Old Chicago" and the cost of production ran into millions of dol lars. But as the absorbing story and the thrilling spectacle of the Chi cago holocaust emerges from the screen, breathless observers will realize that it was well worth the tremendous effort expended on 1t in time and money. It is the crowning achievement of Zanuck's brilliant career as a producer of major films.
 The story leading up to the burn ing of the city on the night of Octo- Der 9, 1871, is lusty and powerful tale, based on the novel by Nevin Buch entitled We, the O'LearyS". The legend that Mrs. O'Leary's COW kicked over a lamp in the barn be- hind the OLearys cottage, on De Koven street, is used to ignite the spark that sets the city aflame and to bring the picture to it's sensa- tionalism, the scenes of the burning of the city and the accompanying terror, tragedy and flight, are com pellingly real.
 The same epic quality that distin- guished "Cimarron", "Cavalcade," }" and "The Covered Wagon" is to be found in the current film. It shows uS with graphic realism the noisy, dirty, awkward infant city that sprawled along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan as it was before the fire wiped it clean.
 The story of the OLearys is play ed out with absorbing interest against the colorful and slightly bawdy reproductions of post-civil War Chicago. This particular Irish family was a strange tribe, as any one of them would pridefully con- fess. The father is killed just as he is about to realize his dream of settling in the new city. Molly OLeary, arriving in the town with her three young sons, becomes the best washerwoman in the part of the village known as "The Patch"
 When the bys grow up, the eldest, Jack, becomes an eloquent lawyer and later is elected Mayor

MAD ABOUT MUSIC
 COMES TO STRAND
Deanna Durbin Teamed With Herbert Marshall
 and Gail Patrick

Attractions to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand theater include "The Gold wyn Follies" with a cast headed by Charlie Mccarthy and Edgar Ber- gen, Kenny and Phil Baker, Adolph Menjou and includes many other favorite stars; also "The Spy Ring" with William Hall in the stellar role.
 Deanna Durbin, 15-year-old sing ing star of HOO Men and a Girl" and "Three Smart Girls" comes to the screen of Warner Brothers Strand theater in her latest hit Mad About Music" which heads the fine twin feature program opening three day engagement starting Sunday.
 One of the finest supporting casts ever assembled includes Herbert Marshall in the principal featured role while the popular Gail Patrick is cast in the leading feminine role, that of Deanna's young mother.
 William F'rawley, screen veteran, is seen as Dusty Rhodes, theatri- cal manager. Arthur Preacher, noted English comedian, is also fea- tured.

of the city. Dion, the charmer of the family and it's one wild member, is an interruptions politician and a power in the city's underworld. The third and youngest OLeary marries his mothers little helper and brings Mrs. CLeary the joy of grand motherhood. Dion's affair with the notorious Belle FaWcett, who is the most popular entertainer west of New York, occupies most of the footage leading up to the fire and is an indirect cause of the disaster.
 Alice Brady is magnificent, giving the performance of her life in the role of the hard-Working, outspoken Molly OLeary. Alice Faye proves that she is as fine a dramatic act rcss as she is an entertainer of song and dance, when, as the flashy, glamorous Belle, she sweeps across the screen in the gaudy clothes and provocative stage cos- tunes of the period.
 Tyrone Power handles the slightly heavy role of Dion, with ease and conviction and Don Ameche is splendid as the more idealistic of the two elder OLeary boys. Tom Brown, Andy Devine, Brian Don- levy, Barton Churchill, J. Anthony Hughes and a host of other actors give color and veracity to the fic- tional tale. June Storey, as the lit tie Gretchen who marries the youngest of the OLeary's, and love- ly Phyllis Brooks, who appears in the role of a politicians daughter, are young actresses of great prom ise.
 The special effects of the fire scenes were spectacularly staged by Fred Sersen, Ralph Hammeras and Louis J. Witte. But the enormous success of the big undertaking is due, in great part, to Director Henry Kings masterful handling of the story and it's dramatic climax.
 An added treat on the program will be the presentation of "Invisi- ble Enemy" with Alan Marshal and Tala Biril, and chapter two in the fifteen thrilling, gripping episodes of radios most popular serial, "The Lone Ranger

OVER THE WALL
 STATE FEATURE
Story By Warden Lawes Turned Into Gripping
 Drama of Prison Life

Dick Foran and June Travis, fast-rising young Warner Bros. stars, are co-starred in "Over the Wall" Warner Bros. successor to "Alcatraz Island" which heads the splendid double bill opening four day engagement at Warner Bros. State theater starting today and ending with performances Monday night.
 Written by no less an authority on the subject that Warden Lewis E. Lawes, Sing Sings fearless head, the film tells a gripping story of a man falsely imprisoned for murder.
 Foran is now finished with Western pictures, after making them for two years, and is hence forth to play in straight dramas and comedies without the chaps and spurs.
 But Warmers are not going to let Dicks splendid singing voice go t waste. Whenever possible he is going to warble. In lover The Wall" he has three songs by the team of Jerome and Scholl, who wrote the famous My Little Buckaroo," which swept the country a few months back.
 In his current picture he is member of the prison choir, whose melodies are broadcast over national hookup weekly. Thus he gains following and through mil lions of listeners, and through these he is able to win the attention of the governor to some new evil dence in his case, dug up by his sweetheart. This frees him, vin- dicates his name, and sends to punishment teh plotters who put him behind the bars.

 New York, April 22-Hard-headed "career women" who have been sold on the idea that success comes to those who choose a definite goal and keep their eyes on it might be quite taken aback to hear straw blonde, gray-eyed Jane Lyon say:
 "Things just HAPPEN to you"
 For things, seemingly, have just happened" to this comedy native of Wisconsin whom broadway now is seeing in the leading role of an im- portant revival of "The Wild Duck"
 Born and raised in La Crosse, Mrs. Lyons has been medical student at the University of Wisconsin, a model for Lorado Taft, and the wife of a prominent Santa Barbara dentist. She owned one of the fast est yachts on the Pacific coast, was 8 player in the movies, and was director, producer, actress, and stage manager for the Lobero theater in Santa Barbara In odd moments, she sang in church choir.
 Gotham Not Excited
 Working with the Loberto Theater caused a rift in her mari tai life and brought about her di- vorce from the wealthy dentist. Her two children, 9 1-2 and II, were left on the coast while Mrs. Lyon came to New York on her own.
 "New York did not receive me with open arms" continued the actress, dancer, stage manager, producer. T finally wound up pouring tea in motion picture theater. That saved my life. I was literally starving"
 While she poured tea by day, she
