cozy, clean and comfortable Strand theater where she appeared in War ner Brothers smashing drama of the old Deep South, "Jezebel" which heads the fine twin feature pro- gram to be enjoyed by the entire family today, tomorrow and Satur- cay.
 Local movie-goers who attended yesterdays presentation pronounced 1t to be even more thrilling than the Marked Woman" or Danger ous."
 The film is set in beautiful New Orleans in the 1850's, decade be- fore the Civil War and shows Julie (Miss Davis) as a completely spoiled and self-centered young socialite of the Southern city. She is given the same name as the notorious wicked woman of Biblical lore because she defies all the traditions of the place and age. She drinks, she smokes, she toys with mems hearts, and her greatest pleasure lies in having men fight over her.
 Henry Fonda turns in an excel lent performance being cast as her chief suitor while George Brent, an- other admirer portrays reckless young blade of the olden days. Mar garet Lindsay also scores as the wife Of Henry Fonda. All in all 1t is a film you really can't afford to miss, so plan to attend before the closing performances Saturday night.

STATE

 Tomorrow the State ushers in an entirely new show headlined by Bing Crosby's newest comedy DOC tor Rhythm" One of O. Henry's best-liked stories, "The Badge of Policeman O'Roon," forms the basis for this film which will have you holding your sides with laughter during Its entire presentation.
 An outstanding cast of comedy stars, that will provide sure-fire en- tertainment, includes Beatrice Lil- lie, Britain's reigning queen of sa- tire, making her first important screen appearance in this picture, and Mary Carlisle, who enjoys the distinction of being the only one of Bing's leading ladies ever to play with him in more than one film.
 Andy Devine furnishes comedy of the broadest kind, especially in the memorable Central Park Zoo scene, in which he dives into seal pool and engages the sleek animal in a rousing jiu-jitsu match. Others in the cast are Laura Hope Crews, re- nowned for her roles as the scat ter-brained society woman, Frank Elliott, Bill Austin and Sterling Holloway.
 With Bing cast in the role of a grooming policeman who brings the willful Miss Carlsile to her senses by turning on the romantic pressure, swing music has its chance to show what it can do when combined with the strong arm of the law.

pletely captivated audiences with her rare loveliness, charm and abil- ity. In word, Sigrid looks to this reviewer like Hollywoods next big feminine star.
 When the story opens the roman- tic, adventurous young Marco is sent by his father from Venice to China.
 Arriving in Pekin with his servant (and stooge) Binguccio (Ernest Truex), he amuses and impresses the great Khan and falls in love with his daughter, the beautiful Princess Kukachin (Sigrid Gurie), who is pursued by the villainous Saracen, Ahmed, who determines to do away with Marco. Marco Polo is captured by Lore Kaidu (Alan Hale), general at war with Khan. Kaidus beautiful but jealous wife (Binnie Barnes), falls in love with Marco and Kaidu promises to let him live as long as he can keep her amused and off his trail.
 From this point on the story moves in a series of thrilling and exciting events, leading to a smash ing climax!
 Cooper is at his lovable, romantic best as the swashbuckling Marco, the lovely Sigrid is something to see, and others who score in the magnificent cast are Basil Rath- bone. TrueX, welcome addition to the comedy annals of Screendom, Hale, Barbier and Miss Barnes. One of the most glorious enter- tainments of all time, "The Adven- lures of Marco Polo" must be seen. It will thrill and delight you.
 The second big hit to be shown on this program is the happy story of a merry millionaire and gay girl who turns Paris into paradise for two, entitled, "The Gaiety Girls" featuring Patricia Ellis and Jack Hubert.
 Current attractions at Loew's Poli include Battle of Broadway" with Victor McLaglen and Brian Donlevy-also-"Prison Nurse" with Marian Marsh"

PREMIER DALADIER SHORT
 ON SPEECH, LONG ON AC- TON.
 In 1919 he ran for the Chamber of Deputies in his native depart ment of Orange and has been con- tinuously reelected ever since. Five years after he took his seat in Parliament, he became minister of colonies. In more than half the many cabinets that have been formed since then, he has held office.
 Feared Fascism
 In the troubled days of 1883, when French finances were going to the bad, Daladier formed his first cabinet on January 28. It only lasted till October 8 of the same year.
 He was back as Premier on January 25, 1884, at one of the stormieSt and most dangerous periods in French history. The Stavisky financial scandal had oc- cured. The extreme parties of the Right were demonstrating in the streets of Paris. Prefect of Police Chiappe had seemed over tolerant them and Daladier promptly fired him. On the night of February 6, 1894, an enormous clash occurred between police and rioters. Twenty were killed. A thousand rioters and 600 police and mobile guards were injured Daladier and his colleagues were called assassins. They resigned on February T.
 But the riots had one immense result. Fear of Fascism brought together Daladier and Socialist Leon Blum, who had often fought each other. The Radical Chief the Socialist Chief and Thorez, head of the Communists. appeared on the same platform in July, 1885, laying the foundation for the Popular Front" which swept France in the next parliamentary elections.
 Takes Bold Step
 Tn May, 1886. Blum became Premier. Daladier became his Minister of War. In the second Blum cabinet, which fell just a few weeks ago, Daladier was once ! more War Minister.
 Faced by the menace of the to- talitarian states, Daladier took a bold step. He gave to Field Mar shal Gamelin the supreme control of the army, the air force and the navy.
 This democrat stuffed with re- publican prejudices." as an appo- sition newspaper calls him, is aces up now with the soldiers. He is like them short on speech, but long on action.
 And France hopes Daladier may prove to be the strong man she has sought ever since losing Clemenceau and Poincare.

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

London, May - The economic dictator of France-absolute ruler of the marts of high finance as well as custodian of the little mans shabby pocketbook seldom knew the sound of more than two francs jingling together in his jeans when he was boy.
 Edouard Daladier, whose title of premier is almost secondary to his possession of full powers to "save the franc" is the son of humble banker in the ancient town of Carpentras. And this stocky, pug nacious-countenanced man who holds the purse-strings of all France and was able just the other day, by personal decree, to raise state taxes eight per cent, was so poor In his youth that, except for the aid of hard-Won scholarships, he would have had no higher schooling at all.
 After studying in the gymnasium of Lyons and, later, the university, Daladier practiced law until the war broke out. He went in sub altern. He came out colonel.

ODE TO PEACE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Men walt for Peace with stratagem. They can not see the finer flame That burns to light their burdened Feet Along the road their forbears came. If man departs and leaves no creed Of life to heal the worlds decay; What then will be his goal at lastP Will spirit wipe his tears awayP Imnoble, every face forbids,
 And cryptic earth seems futureless. The living wait bruised by their fate Will no one raise a hand to bless? Bring forth the love that is sublime: The vision that brings substance - lie. The wisdom of eternity
 Destroy the bitterness and strife. The ages knew this prayer for Peace. The dying heard above the din Where prophets talked to God alone, And asked forgiveness for wars sin.
