ROGERS, STEWART
 IN STRAND DRAMA
'Vivacious Lady Opens Three Days Engagement
 Sunday Afternoon

Performances tomorrow evening at Warner Bros. Strand theater concludes the engagement of '"The Adventures of Robin Hood" star ring Errol Flynn with Olivia de Haviland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains and a host of others. A de- lightful selection of short subjects is also included on the bill.
 Another of those favorable twin hit programs opens three days engagement at the Strand Sunday with "Vivacious Lady" as the head liner.
 Ginger Rogers and James Stew art are co-starred in the leads, be- ing teamed romantically for the first time. This film marks Ging- CTS first vehicle since her. out standing performance in Stage Door," James Stewart is also a well known screen personality hay ing scored decisively opposite Si- none Simon in Seventh Heaven" :" and later in Wife versus Secre- tary," and other hits.
 The picture is essentially a con- edy and tells of the futile efforts of two newly weds to be alone after their nasty marriage.
 Stewart, as a young college pro- lessor, marries Miss Rogers, a night club entertainer, after brief Whirlwind courtship in New York City, and takes her back to Old Sharon. Fearing the stern tongue of his Puritanical father, who is also the president of the college, the boy hesitates to tell his family of the marriage.
 Only Stewards cousin, played by James Ellison, knows the truth, and he Loyalty tries to help out the couple. A series of complications, fostered by the determination of Stewards boyhood sweetheart to marry the young man, and by Miss Rogers growing 1mpatience with her husbands lack of decision, make up the interlocking crises of the story.
 The two stars have strongly col orful roles that give them notable opportunities to display their abil- ities, and they are given grand sup port by splendid cast. Ellison is featured as Stewards playboy cou- sin, and Charles Coburn and Beu-

 Hal Kemp has style all his own, which, while copied throughout the country by countless other organi- zations, still manages to retain it's easily distinguishable features. His staccato type of syncopation, com- bining slow restraint with mod- ulated audaciousness, has captured the fancy of listeners everywhere and has established his music as the finest in dance tempcs.
 The most recent triumph of the Kemp orchestra was their appear ance in Radio City Revels of 1888" with Bob Burns, Jack Oakie, Milton Berle, Jane Frohman and Kenny Baker.
 Personally, Hal Kemp is a tall, blonde, long-legged chap, with friendly, contagious grin. He re- tains his southern drawl and has a pleasant testing manner. He is an unpretentious person, but a musi- clan to his fingertips.

BY NORMAN SIEGEL NEA Service Radio Editor

New York, June 24.-Life has finally caught up with Marion Tal- ley and the former Metropolitan opera star has started to live in swing time.
 The Marion Talley who startled the Met with her powerful voice dozen years ago would be startled if she could watch Marion Talley, the radio soprano, dance a jig while waiting for the minute hand in an NEG studio to signal her on the air. The new Marion Talley would be equally astonished to see the plump Kansas girl O. IT who, with New York at her feet after a Met" debut, wouldn't get off her operatic dignity or rural shyness long enough to celebrate with a staid waltz.
 The only link between the two personalities is the name.
 The change started when Marion shelved off g pounds from the 130 she carried about during her Met opera days When Marion first ar llVCu III 1NCW l Olh ollC CouiNli CFCA dance. And she was self-conscious about her plumpness. Her success was short. She went back to the farm. She returned to prominence again some years later on the ra- dio and began the thaW out.
 It was a gradual thawing, how ever. For an entire year she re- fused to sing before studio audi ence. Hollywood, where she broad casts, looked upon her as female hermit.
 It was a Hollywood night club party that finally led to the awak- ening. She had a terrible time be- cause she couldn't dance.
 A week later she was taking darc- ing lessons. Not only did she learn the conventional ballroom steps, but also the rhumba. And she started to appear at night club functions oftener.
 Her new-found personality start ed to creep into her voice. It began to lose metallic perfection and take on warmth She herself admits that she had concentrated too intensely on her singing as child. She never had learned that mixing with peo- pie socially was fun. As Andrew H. Brown, the mighty philosopher Of the Amos n Andy program would say, She needed mlaxing."

LOVE ON PAROLE
 /. SEEN ON SCREEN
State Offers You and Me- as Program Healthier
 Beginning Today

Should two young lovers, on pa- role from prison, be deprived of the right to marry and settle down to live as healthy and normal citi- zens?" The answer to this question will be flashed across the screen of Warner Bros. State theater this af- ternoon with the presentation of You And Me-, the soaring story of love on parole, as the headliner of an excellent bill which is scheduled for four-day run.
 Two of the screens greatest dra- matic stars, Sylvia Sidney and George Raft, the tough guy of "Scarface" and who scored so heav- fly as "Powdah" in Souls at Sea-, head the cast characterizing their most stirring roles.
 Both stars play the roles Of young ex-convicts, working for a philan- thropic department store owner whose hobby is to give men and women chance to go straight Raft, who has served his parole, marries Miss Sidney after making complete confession to her about his shady past. Miss Sidney, still on parole, conceals her past from him because she knows that by pro- bation regulations, she may not marry. And also, she is aware of the fact that Raft is desperately trying to steer clear of anything that will remind him of his gangster days.
 When the time comes that Miss Sidney cannot keep her past se- cret any longer, she confesses all to Raft. Bitterly disillusioned, he leaves her despite all her pleadings to the contrary, and joins the old gang to renew his halted career in crime. Persuading several of his ex-convict friends to join him, he plans a big robbery. However, Miss Sidney is tipped off, and knowing that this means the end of everything for her husband, reveals her knowledge of the coming crime to Harry Carey, whose department store is to be bur- glarized.
 The gang is caught red-handed while robbing the store, but Carey, philanthropist at heart, and ill gratitude to Miss Sidney's honesty grants her plea to let them go free. Raft denounceS his wife bitterly, and she disappears.
 You and Me-, new departure from the conventional boy meets girl" theme, scores solidly for the two stars. Fritz Lang, talented di- rector of the picture has introduced into it new technique that he calls ore scoring" This is the injection of thematic music into the plot in such way that it forms an inte- gral part of the movement of the story. .:t

ACADEMY WINNER
 AT L0EW'S POLL
Luise Rainer Featured in "The Toy Wife" Open=
 ing Tomorrow

Luise Rainer, only star ever to be accorded two Academy awards, proves her unqualified right to the honor with another character gem as outstanding as her Anna Held" in "The Great Ziegfeld" and her "O-Lan" in "The Good Earth"
 Her "Froufrou" Brigard in "The Toy Wife," which opens tomorrow at the Loew-Poli theater, adds a delineation which may we'll nomin- ate her for the third time and cre- ate still another precedent. By turn the frivolous, light-hearted girl, the equally irresponsible Wire, and the broken, tragic figure which her own folly makes her. she draws a mas terful and truly moving picture which any other actress of the year will be hard pressed to match.
 In the masculine leads Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young live up to the high standard set by the pictures star. Douglas as Miss Rainer's husband who is loved by his wife's sister is at all times ef- fective, while Robert Young is dash ing and romantic as the young gambler with whom Miss Rainer finally runs away.
 Other excellent performances are contributed by Barbara O'Neil as Miss Rainer's sister, H. B. Warner as her father, Alma Krugerf, Wal ter Kingsford, Leonard Penn and the four-year old Alan Perl whose remarkable resemblance to Miss Rainer won him role of her child. Worthy of mention, also, is the work of the negro performers, particularly that of Libby Taylor, Theresa liar ris, Clinton Rosemond and Clarence Muse.
 Richard Thorpe, who won world- wide critical acclaim for his direc-, tion of Might Must Fall" has turned in finely conceived picture of one of the most colorful and romantic periods of American his tory, namely, Louisiana in the 1850's in "The Toy Wife" and Merriam C.. Cooper, producing from Joe Adkins polished script, has lent it the authenticity of atmosphere which makes it doubly satisfying.
 Making this a truly outstanding program is the presentation of a second big feature co-starring Lor- etta Young and handsome Joel Mc- Crea. This new romance entitled "Three Blind Mince," is sparkling, Scintillating and gay, with all the vivacity that is so much a part of gorgeously feminine Loretta Young.

The question Of the Community
Chests position in the contro-
Versy between CHA and the hos

meeting Of Community Chest
speakers and volunteer workers al
the Annapolis Hotel.
CHEST "NEUTRAL"
One Of the workers asked what
he should say If the question came
up during the campaign, and
Coleman Jennings, president Of
the Chest, replied:
"The Chests attitude is one
Of complete neutrality. 1t should
be clear that with 1856 900 con-
tributorS, many Of whom be-
long to CHA, it would be i'm
possible for the Chest to take
sides"
Mr.. Coleman said he had heard
nothing ct the letters, but Herbert
Willett, jr., Chest director, said
the matter had been brought to
his attention. He added:
II am convinced that Group
Health is in no way responsible
for circulation of the letters"
Commenting on the letters,
Howard Acton, official Of CHA,
said:
I'VE have no animosity to-
ward the Community Chest. We
recognize it as a splendid and
necessary organization, and de-
plore the circulation of such q

Mr.. Jennings explained that
the hospitals are not members of
