 Alice Faye and Tony Martin sing the tunefullest songs you've ever heard, as only they know how! They top the cast with Fred Allen, star of radios Town Hall Tonight" and he is twice as funny face-to- face.

nor can the child admit who hel mother is.

Ma" BergG)en Won't Spoil Her Grandchild, Charley Mccarthy
woods Mo- Dummy Isn't SuchaMuch To Ventroq qusts Mother
BY NORMAN SIEGEL NEA Service Radio Editor

Hollywood, Cal, March II - Charley Mccarthy, Young Hick- ory" of radio and the movies, is having as much trouble with his grandmother as he did with w. c. Fields. She's fond of him in an i'm personal way-too impersonal ever to make spoiled grandchild out of him.
 And it's that Edgar Bergen who's cutting Charley out with grandma. For Nellie Bergren, 71-year-old mother of the noted ventriloquist, would rather talk about her son than his little vocal offspring. AL though she's been living with them since the first of the year, she still doesn't regard Charley as real person. That's because she usually sees him in pieces around the house. It seems that there's a part of Charley in every room in the Ber- gen mansion.
 Mrs. Bergren, who still retains the second "r" in her name al- though Edgar has dropped it, speaks of her famous son as baby" Edgar calls her ma" and likes to tease her about the naive manner in which she takes Charley and his success.
 Chatting with this quiet, charm ing counterpart of the Whistler painting, we learn that Edgar was fond of machinery as youngster and she thought he would grow up to be an electrician. She was upset when he first went on the stage, because she didn't think there was a living in what he was doing. Even when he was making S400 week in vaudeville, she thought he should give it up for a steady job that paid SIS a week. She also thought he was spending too much money dur ing his vaudeville days.
 Edgar's relatives insisted that the boy had gone wrong when he went on the stage. He believes that's why his mother took the atti- tude she did.
 She's not sorry now that Edgar didn't follow a more normal line of endeavor. He's continually remind ing her that as a result of his profession, the food is better in the Bergen household. The food, how evOr, was always good, as Edgar's father was successful dairy opera tor in Chicago before his death. He also owned number of apartment houses and left his family comforta- bly, fixed when he died. Edgar was IA at the time he passed away.
 Shortly before his death, MT. Bergren moved his family from Chi

DEANNA DURBIN
 IN STATE FILM
Mad About Music, 0pen= ing Today, Has Herbert
 Marshall in Lead

Delightful Deanna Durbin, who has been acclaimed Americas sing ing sweetheart, is back to win your hearts all over again, as she sings and laughs her way into and out of riotous difficulties during the presentation of her latest hit Mad About Music" which heads the ex- cellent double bill opening a four day engagement at Warner Bro- thers' State theater starting today.
 It's a Universal production and casts Herbert Marshall in the prin- cipal role.
 The producers of this film having boldly thrown Deanna into a story that demands the utmost in acting talent. And this 15 year old star handles the difficult assignment with ease and assurance.
 As entertainment, Mad About Music" eXcels either of her previous pictures, although it departs entire ly in theme and structure from Three Smart Girls" or 100 Men and Girl". Her new production is almost entlrely comedy-drama, but with story that lends itself to sev- eral highly emotional passages, heart-gripping in their intensity, bringing tears in their wake much as did the finale of HOO Men and Girl'. The tears are immediately followed by comedy sequences, fore ing smiles. It is this procession of smiles and tears which makes Mad About Music" great picture.
 Deanna is cast as fatherleSs girl attending private school in Swift zerland. Her mother is an Amer ican screen star, famous for her in- genue roles. Her manager has con- vinced the star that her future on the screen would be ru:l1ed if the public knew she was mother; hence she can not write to Deanna

terrupted when he discovers that a stranger who is attempting to clean up Birthstone is his own son.
 The part of the son is taken by Dennis O'Keefe, new screen dis covery. O'Keefe falls in love with the daughter of Brimstone's crook ed judge, Virginia Bruce.
 Directed by J. Walter Ruben, the picture boasts one of the larg- est and most impressive support ing casts of any major Western production in some years.
 Occupying prominent spots in the picture are Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone, Guy Kibbee, Bruce Cabot, Clifford Edwards, Quinn Williams, Arthur Hohl, Robert Gleckler, Noah Beery, Scotty Beck cit and nearly 8 dozen other equal ly well-known players.
 Romance, comedy and gripping drama blend swiftly in the action of the production and the roar of six-shooter begins and ends it.

cago to farm near Decatur, III. There, Edgar was more interested in pursuing his flair for inventing things than in attending to the or dinary farm chores.
 Whenever I sent him out to pick strawberries, Ma" Bergren said, still half upbraiding him, T would find him up in tree chewing birch. When I rustled him down and to the berry patch, he would always grumble, Why don't they have machine to pick berries?'"
