STATE

The fact that parole laws of many states forbid marriages for paroled persons motivates the new Sylvia Sidney and George Raft picture, You and Me" which opened It's four-day engagement to Q wcll- filled house at Warner Bros. State theater yesterday.
 Both stars arc well cast, turning in their most thrilling portrayals of two ex~convicts. forbidden to marry because one Of them is still on parole. As usual. Miss Sidney is at her best in this type of finn as previously shown by her past success in An American Trag. edy," Street Scene" and other unforgettable cinemas. Raft, whom you will remember as "Powdah" in Souls at Sea-" is also superb as the ex-convict who discovers his wife has married him under false pretenses, in other words she al- lowed Raft to marry her while she was still on parole.
 Because of this Raft is bitterly disillusioned, and despite all Miss Sydney's efforts to keep their homo together, he returns to his old life of crime. With his former gangstcr friends he plans daring hold-up of the department store where he is employed.
 One exciting event follows another as Miss Sidney learns of his plans and tips off Harry Carey. the own- CT of the store. All in all this sear- ing story of love on parole is just tailor made for your weekend must see" list.
 Romance, danger and excitement run rampant in Danger Patrol" the second smash hit of the program. Sally Pliers, John Beal and Harry Carey top the cast of popular play erS.'

 Sure. And 1t isn't question of conceit. I'm a sticklcr for facts, that's all. And l repeat :"

 "In that case" Kelly said, "we're starting for Boston right after breakfast" She stopped and regarded him. Anything against shaving? You look like a neg lected grave"

 "Too busy nursing me2" Joe grinned.
 "Yes, unfortunately"
 He spread his hands. Well, there you have 1t. You can't go against Fate. Directly you met me, made you forget all about Gil- bert"
 You" said Kelly, "are fast cs- tablishing new all-timc record for self-confidence Finish your coffee"
 The sun fell on Connecticut even as stars are wont to fall on Alabama. The result was a honey Of day, very green -and-gold. very warm. Kelly came out of the house carrying suitcase.
 ."I had the presence of mind to gnt this out of my own car last night she said, What laugh ingly call my trousseau is in It."
 Joe took the suitcase and parked 1t in the back of the Ford among the confections.
 What about your car?" he in- qaired.
 She waved her hand. "I asked Simmons to sec to it He will He's very reliable"
 "Okay," said Joe. Hop in. Bos- ton or bust"

 As Kelly and Joe stared aghast the presence came all the way out of the thicket. The full effect was horrifying in the extreme. And yet the sinister mien of the be- hemoth was mitigated somewhat by pair of weak Watery-blue eyes Judging from his eyes alone he looked like the kind of a guy who might drill his aged maiden aunt full of holes and then weep hysterically over slushy movie.
 MT Joseph Sandman had been brought up in the tradition of the Light Brigade. He knew that you had to make a pass of some kind when cannon were in front of you.

 The bchemoth attended to the inner man before pampcring curi- osity.

 Joe thought 1t was time that he got in word, He tried again along the same lines.
 Who are youp' he demanded.
 The behemoth reached in his vest pocket. brought forth n quill toothpick and set to work on the left upper molars in the back of the house,
 "Me?" he said, looking at Joe sternly. Evidently he wished to get things straight.
 "You." confirmed Joe.
 An expression of pride seemed to cross the weak blue eyes of the behemoth.
 I'm Ed the Weasel" he an nounced
 Then 1t was that any lingering doubts as to the true worth of Miss Kelly Archer passed from Joe Sandham's mind forever.
 "Why. how nice" said Kelly. We're all in the animal kingdom together. I'm Kelly the Kangaroo and this gentleman is Joe the Jaguar. Welcome to our city

 Kelly found likely looking glade in no time. They got out, sat with their backs against the same tree and began consuming the sandwiches and milk. Then. as the sandwiches diminished. it developed that Kelly had brought an extra one for Joe. The discov- cry smote his sense of justice.
