M The Local 7heaters
POLl'S

The police are looking for an at- tractive, blue-eyed blond who is wanted for murder!
 She was rescued from jail by 6 gang of henchmen of the towns ace racketeer in the SenSatiCn-filled drama of a city's war on rackets.
 What the police don't know is that shortly after her rescue by the mob, the fleeing car overturned and caught fire; that the girl was saved by clever outlaw surgeon, and that now she is well and healthy. ..
 With an entirely new face and brunette hair!
 What the prosecutors office doesn't know is that the wanted blond is the brunette who has been helping them clean up racketeers in the city.
 Disregarding the warning that you can't get away with it." this girl thought she could, and played her dangerous game to the end, as is graphically shown on the screen of the Loew Poli theater Wednes- day, when the 20th Century Fox production, "City GiN", opens three-day engagement here.
 Phyllis Brooks, in her Star-mak- ing role, is the city girl who lived two lives and lifetime in a single year fleeing the city to escape the law, and returning so changed that police-and even her own sweetheart-could not recognize her.
 Ricardo Cortez is the big shot racketeer for whose love she lived two lives. He has given up his girl friend, he has put his wife on the spot in another big town while a fearless prosecutor warns, "We'll bust up every racket in this city!"
 The city's new racket buster blows the town wide open, but this girl sets off the dynamite. From a job in a restaurant she was coaxed into party of holsters who toured the suburban night spots. When a gas station attendant foiled a stick up by squirting gasoline in the bandits face her purse was left be- hind. Police quizzed her but she wouldn't sing.
 City Girl" is an original screen story by Frances Hyland, Robin Harris and Lester Ziffren.
 The second big hit to be shown on this program is "exiled to Shang- hai," with Wallace Ford and June Travis.

STATE

With the most exciting and glamorous spot in the world as its locale and the greatest aggregation of entertainers from both the East and the West in the cast, Walter Wanger's "52nd Street" begins 8 three-day engagement at Warmers State theater today.
 Swing bands and comics, eccentric dancers and scat singers, all gleaned from the 600-foot strip of 52 street that is damned with night clubs contribute their Specialties to the first screen story of Americas only swing street.
 Recruited from their nocturnal haunts in Manhattan are Madcap Jack White from the IS, Maurice Rocco and Dorothy Saulters from the Kit Kat club, Georgie Tapps, tap dancer from the Paradise, Jerry Colonna who has appeared in a dozen hot-spits, Cook and Brown of the Harlem Uproar House and Pat Harrington.
 Hollywpod's contribution to this impressive cast includes Kenny Bak- CT, rising young radio singer who just completed his first starring ve- hicle for Mervyn LeRoy MT. Dodds Takes the Air; Ian Hunter, Leo Carrillo, Pat Paterson, Ella Logan Sid Silvers, Zasu Pitts, Dorothy Peterson, Maria Shelton, Collette Lyons and Al Shean, everyone a stellar screen personality.
 This array of talent which con- prises Broadway and Hollywood s finest, is woven into a sparkling, romance that unfolds along this thoroughfare of New York hot spots, and combines all the mad swirl and color of night life with story of compelling interest.
 The companion feature is Some Blondes Are Dangerous" with Noah Beery, Jr., William Gargan, Dor othea Kent and others. It presetns gripping incidents in the career of a champion fighter and proves inter- esting screen fare from start to finish.

How Sick Is The Motor Industry?
Willis Thornton Digs Into This Bell -Wether Business And Finds The Situation Isn't as Bad as It Looks, From Viewpoint of Both Capital And Labor
BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff CorrespOndeI

NEA Service Stan correspondent.
 Detroit, Jan 18.-The motor indus try, recovery bell-wether, is down but not out.
 The present recession, which has put half of the half million motor workers out on the street, is less fearful than it looks at the moment, coming at a time when there is al- ways 8 mid-year slackness.
 Also consider the recently an- nounced addition of 100000 work CTS to the General Motors payroll, 5000, to Chrysler and 500 to Hud- son. Also Ford's addition of 10000 men in conjunction with $40 100000 expansion program.
 When such men as President Will fam Knudsen of General Motors, aided by the best economists he can hire, admits that he guessed wrong for 1887, it is thin business guessing at 1888. But here is the best guess available:
 1897, the motor industry made just over 5,000,00 cars, as com pared with recent average of about 100000. The Auto Workers Union is guessing 3,500,000 for 1888. The Board of Commerce, shaking down guesses by many manufactures guesses 3,750,000 perhaps few more.
 Industry Digs In
 If these guesses are valid, it means that motor industry employment would run between 350,000 and 375,000 as compared with the high point of 51700 reached in late 1887. That figure would depend, of course on how widely the present three and four-day "share-the-work" working shifts are continued. It might be 100000.
 In other words, things won't be as bad as they look right now, but on the whole, the motor industry is digging in for lean, sub-average year.
 This reflected not only in the cur tailments by management, but in the changed attitude of the United Auto Workers. A year ago they were gleefully sitting down all over a rising industry. Today they are grimly sitting tight, holding fast to prevailing wage rates.
 Instead of wage rates and con- tracts, the union is concentrating on relief for its members, new government regulations and aid for industry, government pump -prim- ing" through a housing program, and national legislation like the Ludlow amendment.
 Locally, the U. A. w. works on social and athletic events, the wo- mems auxiliary campaign for lower retail prices, and things like peti- tion to remove five members of the
