is smart enough to find it. When
he does find it he usually steals it, I'm
sorry to say. But it is the fun of
hunting for it that Sammy enjoys
most. So Sammy thoroughly enjoyed
hunting for Mr.. Quack. He peered
into every likely hiding place and got
so interested that he quite forgot
about the hunters who might be hiding
along the bank.
So it happened that he didn't see

until he was right over it. Sitting
in it was a man with a terrible gun

Bright and early the next morning
Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow were
in the Big Hickory tree near the
Smiling Pool ready to start for the
Big River to hunt for Mr.. Quack.
Peter Rabbit had been so afraid that
he would miss something that he had
stayed near the Smiling Pool all night,
so he was on hand to see the start.
It had been agreed that Mrs. Quack
was to go to a certain place on the
Big River and then swim up as far

Blacky and Sammy followed along up

STRAND

The most authentic aviation story ever filmed may be enjoyed by local movie-goerS at Warner Brothers cozy, clean and comfortable Strand theater for four days starting with performances this afternoon.
 The exciting picture is Test Pilot" and has as it's stars Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy with Lionel Barrymore heading the major supporting cast.
 Thrilling flying sequences, filmed with nine ground cameras and nine aerial cameras, provide the back ground for new type triangle. Clark Gable, in the title role, is di vided between his love for Myrna Loy and his love of flying. The conflict between his wife and his job is the basis of a plot which incor- porateS scenes from national air races, testing of new planes, riotous night club sequences and touching scenes between Gable and Miss Loy,
 NlCDOI rltLIlulB dllI lOulo D Lighton, director and producer re- spectively of Captains Courageous" were reunited in making Metro Goldwyn Mayors first aviation pict- ure in more than two years.
 Paul Mantz, co-pilot and naviga- tor with Amelia Earhart, served as technical adviser on the picture. He was assisted by Ray Moore, na- tionally prominent racing flyer, as many of the scenes in the picture are centered around the National Air Races at Cleveland.
 The co-hit is "Blondes At Work" co-starring Glenda Farrell and Bar ton MacLane. Glenda is seen in her familiar role of a famous girl reporter, while MacLane again has the part of her boy friend, Police Lieutenant Steve Mcbride. There's a lot of fun and fast action, as well as Torchys famous brand of wise cracking dialogue.

POLI'S

Jessie Matthews musical Sailing Along" which opened this after noon at the Loew Poli Theater, reveals the pert and lithesome star at her best-which is probably all that is needed to recommend the picture.
 This department, which has definite weak spot for Jessie Mat thews, can report with pleasure therefore that the vehicle fully measures up to the star, and does justice in every way to her versatile talents. Surrounded by such scene stealers like Roland Young, Noel Madison, the sombre and comical Mir. Alistair Sims-Who is sort of English Mischa Auer - and that grand trouper, Athene Seyler, and with Jack Whiting as her dance partner, and Barry Mackay as lead- ing man, Jessie emerges the better for her capable supporting cast. None can steal the show from her, but these players do point up the comedy and lend color to the scenes throughout.
 On the same program is another big hit, "The Jurys Secret" with Kent Taylor and Fay Wray in the leading roles, with marvellous sup port from such established players as Jane Darwell, Nan Grey and Larry Blake.
 The entertainment event of the season takes place tonight, when the "IT" comedienne of stage and screen, devastating, dynamic Eff D'Orsay, makes a personal appear ance on the stage of the Loew Poli Theater.
 The story of the rise of Eff to fame is not an unusual one, one evening this vivacious young lady found herself singing Everything is Hotsy Totsy Now" over the radio. The broadcasting resulted in a vaudeville engagement lasting two and half years. Today Eff DOT say is one of the big little ladies of the talkies. At present Miss DOT say is playing a few weeks in vaude- vile and, Manager E. Fitzpatrick, after much communication with the Marcus Loew Booking Agency, one of the largest of its kind in the world, has secured this popular fav- orite to appear in person on the Loew Poli stage tonight at p. m. for ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY.
 Making up the supporting bill are the Nathano Brothers performing Musical Acrobatics"; Fred Pisano, ''The Italian Statesman; Billy Vine the master of ceremonies straight from the famous Torcadero in Hol- lywood; and Phil, Bill and Tess, outstanding dancers who are the tops in taps
 Providing the musical background for this big stage show is the Loew Poli Theater orchestra, lead by that popular maestro Of the fiddle, Gus Meyers.

SLIGHTLY more than year
 ago the aged Pope Plus rose from his bed after 72 days of se- rious illness and walked a few steps in his bedroom. For a time the world had despaired of his life. But the Alpine" pontiff showed remarkable recuperative powers. May 3l, he will reach 81.
 A brilliant record marks the Pope's 16 years as supreme head of the Catholic Church. He set- tied the long quarrel between the lay government of Italy and the Vatican, regaining once more the temporal power of his office; he signed concordats and conventions with many nations; struck out boldly against communism in Rus sia, Mexico and Spain. In 1881 he issued a famous encyclical in which he said he did not condemn capitalism, but he did condemn the grave abuses which vitiated it.
 Plus was the first Pope to use an automobile; the first Pope to broadcast. Generally he has shown striking sympathy with modern trends. But no Pope has faced graver tasks in his last years than Plus, with Nazi perse-

STATE

There are just two days left in which to see the marvellous double hit program currently at Warner Bros. State theater. Crime School starring the Dead End" kids and featuring Humphrey Bogart and Gale Page headlines the bill; while Frank McHugh in his latest com edy riot He Couldn't Say No" is the second smash hit.
 Once again Warner Brothers State theater comes crashing through with the cream of the mo- tion picture crop. This time it's the best musical of 1888 "Cocoanut Grove" and it starts Friday at this theater of hits, for a four day en- gagement. Incidentally the presen- .tation of this excellent film marks the third smash hit of the States big spring hit parade.
 Fred MacMurray tops the cast in this his latest film venture. Har- riet Hilliard is also featured with MacMurray and together the two head a large cast of film favorites that include Ben Blue, Rufe Davis, Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiin Orchestra, Dorothy Howe and Billy Lee.
 The story concerns itself with a swing band and it's hilarious trials and tribulations i'll getting across the continent to an addition at the famed Cocoanut Grove in the Hotel Ambassador in Los Angeles.
 Both MacMurray and Miss Hil- Hard play parts in the film that are almost exact replicas of their real lives. MacMurray transformed across the country with a band seeking some kind of theatrical rec ognition before he was discovered playing saxophone in a musical show. In the picture, he enacts the same thing over again only this time he works his way Westward, finally getting the contract at the Grove.
 Miss Hilliard, in real life, is the wife of Ozzie Nelson, and when not busy on the screen. sings with his band. In the picture she is the girl vocalist with MacMurrays swing outfit.
 A thrilling .sdma of gangsters last stand against law and order will be told during the presentation of the second smash hit Hunted Men" Lloyd Nolan, last seen on the side of the law in Tip off Girls" of recent date, has the top role as the swaggering gangster who struts his stuff before hero worshipping boy and makes love to an unSuspecting girl. The cast of supporting players is headed by Mary Carlisle and Lynne Overman.

SILVER GIFTS WILL PROVE
 LASTING

Where are the gifts of last Christ mas? Sh-sh-Don't ask it. But if you give silver this Christmas you know your gift will last through many and many Yuletide and many a generation.
 And whether the home be hum ble or naughty; cottage, apartment or mansion, silver will have cher ished place. But do consider the type of home in making your selection For today there are patterns in keeping with the family traditions.
 Patterns may be suavely modern, or lavishly Renaissance; sternly Early American, or graciously Geor- gian. For every period, there is a pattern. And there are scores of designs in keeping with the swift paced living of today
 Exquisite handwrought trays ot silver may have matching pieces urns, pitchers, cream and sugar holders. And silver candlestieks be- long with Christmas as well as with weddings.

ChristndS A Year Late

"Tomorrow's Christmas day, to- morrow's Christmas day. little Dor othy was singing as she was pranc- ing about the dingy apartment. She'd stop to roll up the sleeves that were continually slipping down over her hands. No wonder they didn't stay up. for the dress was one that Helen, two years older, had outgrown. Mother had meant to make it over. but she was too tired when she got home from cleaning house for other people all day.
 Hush up, Dorothy. Mother will be coming in pretty. soon, and she'll cry if we say anything about Christi mas" Helen reminded her.
 T don't see why. Christmas is a time to laugh, and not to cry Dor cthy responded philosophically.
 Don't you remember last Christ mas, and how daddy didn't come home with our packages?' Helen couldn't believe that even so little a sister as Dorothy should forget that For daddy had never been heard from since that Christmas. eve.

Luggage Solves Gifts Win a Zip!

If it were not for tradition-and what the children all over the world would think of him-Santa Claus, Esqu, most certainly would discard his bulging pack in favor of modern luggage.
 How he must sigh for zipper bag, wardrobe trunk and fitted case, a travelling kit and makeup box to keep his nose the right shade of cherry!
 He would not have to worry about snow, for virtually all the new lug gage is water-repellant and wash able Nor about pumping into chim- neys for the new luggage is ultra durable Nor about tiring his rein deer, for bags and trunks and cases are featherweight now
 And what a zip modern luggage would put in St. Nick's life! One fascinating style of bag has an outer pocket that zips all around in shape of an inverted U, with fit tings for toiletries.
 A big case actually almost zips in tWo-one part to leave in the berth, one to take to the dressing room. Many of the travelling cases this year are made to stand on end and open accordingly, so suits on the neat detachable hangers stay in place, wrinkleless.
 Much of the luggage comes with detachable compartments. All is designed to carry clothing plus ac- cessories plus toiletries plus coats, hats, shoes, and what-nots, each in it's own niche, without a jar or a crease. Some have little curtains that zip up and down.
 And all pack the maximum of contents into the minimum of space, with creases in neither garment nor brow.
 Standard luggage comes in vari- GUS pieces of matching pattern; this Christmas, an overnight bag with its luxurious fittings; next Christmas, a combination hat, shoe and accessory case, perhaps; the next a miniature wardrobe which will hold the contents of any closet in one-tenth the space.
