 AT STATE TODAY

 New Song Hits

A well balanced program of week. end screen entertainment, com prised of two smashing Warner Brothers State theater starting with performances this afternoon.
 Those gorgeous Gold Diggers" lovelies who have taken America twice are with us once again, this time affording the theater-going public the opportunity of seeing what they do to fifty million Frenchmen in the latest of the famous musical comedy series, "The Gold Diggers in Paris, which head lines the bill.
 Many well known personalities of stage, screen and radio are featured in this musical hit. Especially not able is the return to the screen, after an absence of three years, of the grooming maestro of the air. waves, Rudy vallee. who heads the cast.
 Almost rivalling in importance is the film debut of Freddie Fishers Schnickelfritz Band, sextet of the maddest musicians that ever suc- ceeded in wedding hilarious comedy
 These Schnikelfritzes are destined to be a riotous success on the screen.
 Sharing the romantic interest with Rudy and also sharing the pleasant burden of singing several of the beautiful melodies which grace the score in Rosemary Lane. Gloria Dickson also has large role as Rudy's estranged wife.
 The comedians - enough of them to stock at least two such pictures with sure-fire laugh getters. are headed by Hugh "Wu Wu" Herbert including also Allen Jenkins, Mabel Todd, Fritz Field, Curt Bois, Ed Bro phy and Melville Cooper.
 Finally, there is the large chorus of luscious beauties selected and trained by Busby. Berkeley - the Gold Digger Girls"
 Five new song hits introduced in the film include T Wanna Go Back to Ball." "The Latin Quarter, '' Day Dreaming" Stranger in Paree" and Gold Diggers".
 The program is completed with Warner Brothers astrological sensa- ton "When Were You Born," the only motion picture ever made com pletely according to the mystic science of astrology and with cast selected according to astrological calculations!
 The picture is an exciting, sus- pense-packed murder mystery thriller and has as its stars Mar garet Lindsay, Anna May Wong, Lo- la Lane and Anthony Averill.

Hollywood-The news about the Marx Brothers in the epic (especial- ly priced, at least), Room Service, /" is mostly negative: Harpo will not talk, or play his harp, or chase blonds. Groucho will not sing, nor will he grow his own mustache. Chico will not play the piano, and he will not wear his usual costume.
 All these decisions are as of the date of this writing Anything can happen, and usually does, in a Marx Brothers picture. However, there has been a lot of deliberation on the story, and Morrie Ryskind has finished the adaptation of the play.
 Most of the RKO executives, sup ported by Groucho and Chico Marx, wanted Harpo to talk in Room Service" But Writer Ryskind and Harpo himself held out for straight pantomime.
 ROOM SERVICE: $255.000
 AUTHOR SERVICE: $20,000
 Of the screen, Harpo is the most articulate of the brothers; or at least he is the only one from whom straight information can be obtain ed. Many a correspondent has spent pleasant hour or two with Groucho or Chico, and has departed with the silly realization that he didn't have line he could print.
 Harpo said the Marxes long have wanted to try proven play instead of manufacturing their own out of gagging conferences and vaudeville tryouts. They were handicapped by lack of good stories. So when RKO paid the record price of s255,0 for Room Service" not counting an addi- tional $20oO0 for the services of the plays authors (who have not been allowed to work on this story), the brothers broke up their cribbage game and prepared to gc to work.
 The play dealt mostly with the activities of a shyster theatrical producer, but Ryskind's adapta- tion puts the emphasis on the troubles of the producer (Groucho Marx) in staying in hotel. Chico is Q stage director. Harpo mute goblin who turks only on the fringes of the plot.
 { Most painful part of the picture making is the deletions which must be made to conform to Hays office rulings.

 SURREALIST PORTRAITURE
 Meanwhile they're also dickering for an eight-week engagement m France, in October and November.
 Harpo is tickled with the pros- pect of playing there without hav- ing to learn any French. Groucho and Chico, on the other hand, will have to learn French translations of their lines.
 I'll be the only one" grinned Harpo, "who can do any ad-llb- bing"
 In France, too, he will see his friend Dali, the Surrealist, whose admiration of Harpo's antics is a doubtful compliment. Dali came all the way to Hollywood just to do a portrait of Marx, and it was accomplished in three pencil sketch sittings.
 The first day, he drew nothing but an eye on big sheet of paper. Next day he drew head, on an- other sheet, and with no eye in it. The third day he drew the body and the harp. Then he went back to Paris and put them all together in painting which, Marx says, is a marvellous piece of draughts- manship except that it includes a boiled lobster perched on the red wig and hunk of liver on the harp. All this is worth 5000, and Harpo thinks he'll buy it.
 Dali also has written a scenario for Harpo, and the comic things he may play parts of it sometime. He doesn't know quite what it's all about except that there are some amusing bits of clowning in it. One sequence includes six day bicycle race and another shows him watering the flowers prinHd on the fabric of sofa.
 Marx received a huge, crated present from the artist, and dis covered that it was harp, wrapped in cellophane. It wasn't very practical, though, because the frame was covered with kitchen ware and it was strung with barbed wire.

sooner or later be readjusted to ac-
