Every car-sick child declared that
the passenger doll was sick at the

anticipation Of a stomach upset or
spoke fearfully for the doll. s
Fears and timidity ware charac-
teristic Of many Of the car-sick
group. One effeminate boy, who
had been babied by his mother and
kept IN dresses and curls until ne

his.car sickness with fears that the
street car would overturn and
cause the death of his mother. An
other case where a divorce had
separated the boy from his father
was followed by the childs desire

in which he imagined his mother
might be killed and he; himself re-

M The Local IheateYs
POLES

The clever methods employed by a special prosecutor for a grand jury in obtaining evidence against the members of gigantic racketeer- ing ring, are dramatically depicted in RKO Radios Smashing the Packets.
 With Chester Morris, Frances Mercer, Rita Joynson and Bruce Ca bot heading the cast, the story traces the activities of Morris as a deter mined G-man in bringing to justice relentless criminals.
 His amazing record prompts the district attorney of a big city to put him on his legal staff as pub licity gesture. While working in this office, Morris finds his hands vir- tually tied by gullible juries, corrupt administration, and faint-hearted business men who are intimidated by the well organized racketeers. Determined to stamp out the crimes, especially in connection with vicious protective association" which shakes down innocent mer- chanst, Morris interests the grand jury composed of leading citizens and gets an appointment as its special prosecutor.
 Given free rein, the young man launches a terrific campaign against ; the gangsters, using their own strong arm methods as well as scientific devces in squeezing the evidence from the thugs and also their ter rorized victims.
 Counterpointing the dramatic &C., tion of the story is a romance be- tween Morris and Frances Mercer which encounters complications when the young lady's impetuous sister becomes involved with the under world and faces murder charge.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Michael Whalen and Lynn Bari in the thrilling romance Speed | to Burn"
 Current attractions at Loew's Poli include Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Don Ameche in Alexander $ Ragtime Band" Capacity audiences over the week end have hailed this film as one of the greatest ever produced. Tonight and tomorrow af- lords you your last chance to see this brilliant motion picture achieve ment. Don't miss 1t. On the same program are Dennis O'Keefe and Ann Morris in the comedy romance "The Chaser, with Lewis Stone.
 Once again Manager Ed Fitzpat- rick scoops the entertainment world when he presents on the LoeW Poli stage Wednesday evening, in person the famous Broadway dancing star of stage, and screen, Hal LeRoy. In addition to this great headline at- traction, there are several outstand- ing supporting acts, featuring the Three Mates, Sailors On Holiday; Edythe Brown, Seeing Stars; Lee Early and Pals, Just Howl; Mayo and Hart, formerly featured ir George Whites Scandals.

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at the air conditioned Warner Brothers State theater include "The Texans" starring Randolph Scott, Joan Bennett and May Robson; also Joe Penner in I'm From The City,, Both pictures are included in the National Movie Quiz contest.
 In few days Movie Quiz Book lets will be given to patrons upon entering the State theater. These booklets contain pictures, questions and possible clues necessary to those theater patrons who plan to enter the contest. Cash awards totaling $250,000 will be given to the winning contestants with $50000 first prize and 5000 other awards.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other all Movie Quiz program with Mother Carey's Chickens, a film that fairly bubbles with humor and naturalness, spotlighting the bill.
 This beloved story of fatherless New England family which en- thralled readers for the past twenty five years, selling almost 750,O00 copies of the book, has become a notable screen event with all it's na- tive thrill, sweetness and power of Kate Douglas Wiggin's pen being in- cluded in the film.
 The characters that for two de- cades have warmed the hearts of countless thousands of fiction read CTS step from these epic pages in the talented persons of Anne Shirley, Ruby Keeler, who forsake her danc- ing shoes for her first dramatic role, James Ellison, fresh from his recent success in "Vivacious Lady; Fay Bainter, of White Banners" fame and Walter Brennan. Each and every member of this cast is noted for his or her splendid acting ability as has been proven in some of this seasons biggest hits.
 The ups-and-doWns of the hectic careers of this family as they strug- gle to remain together and make ends meet, and the contrasting TO- nance of the two sisters, Anne Shir- ley and Ruby Keeler, promises the ater-goers marked contrast to re- cent madcap comedy and heavily dramatic cycles in screen entertain ment.
 The second big movie quiz pie ture is Joe E. Brown, the All-Amer- ican clown in a rah, rah riot of roars, "The Gladiator"

BraYed jungle perils

Braved jungle perils. Two Marine Corps avators dead and three had been lost in the tropical jungle of Nicaragua, where amid the tangled undergroWth the grass is often fifteen feet high and sunshine plotted out by trees which grow to height of 100 feet. Promptly their comrades set about the task of reScung the living and recovering the bodies of the dead The three living marines had been forced to bale out of their plane when buffeted by tropical gale which struck with sudden fury in August 1892 Two other flyers lost their lives while attempting to drop supplies to Sergeant Theodore M Stephenson, who headed small native patrol along the Rama River All victims of peril flying conditions above the wooded wilderness of Central America The marine sergeant and his immediately recovered the bodies of the dead flyers and brought them back to Rama, forty miles away Stephenson then set out with few native soldiers to the flyers lost in the tropical forest After five days of peril and privation he found the beWdered aV ators and helped to guide them back to safety During
 their jungle trek the searchers forced to brave the danger of ambushed foes, and suffered many hardshps While ascending the reacherouS river threading their way through the almost impenetrable jungle, from far overhead Marine Corps avators furnished supplies directed the patrol by dropping food and written in structons from their planes. Only brief accounts of his courageous feat published yet this thrilling drama of bravery and fortitude in the tropical jungle won for Stephenson the Ncaraguan of vaor. . . Log of U. S. Marines.

DOVER ST. MAN
 IS COMPENSATED
Mrs. Verdon Rules in Favor of Former Baking
 Co. Salesman

Elznear Brousseau of 48 Dover street was declared eligible for un- employment compensation Saturday in finding issued by Commissioner Margaret Verdon. The finding is 8 reversal of a decision made by an examiner for the unemployment commission.
 Brousseau, before the finding of Mrs. Verdon, had been refused the benefits of the fund. He was for merly employed as salesman for the Borck & Stevens Baking com- pany of Bridgeport. He was de- nied compensation on the ground that he was an independent con- tractor, owning his own truck and uniform and being paid a com- mission on sales.
 Commissioner Verdon holds that the company exercised full control over his prices, route and business methods, and thus was his employer in the full sense of the law. At the time of his discharge Brousseau re- fused to sign papers releasing the company from liability in an auto mobile accident.

Grand Jury" demanded something be done.
 Tom Dewey set up spy-prooi headquarters on the 14th floor o1 the Woolworth Building, gathered g brilliant staff of young lawyers around him, hired ten crack &C., countants and went to work. The first graft he tackled was the loan shark racket: He sent 28 men te jail. Next he went after prostitu- tion and sent Charles Lucky" Lu- ciano to jail. Then he broke ur the "impregnable" poultry racket Then he raided the numbers racket Next, he turned to the electrical contracting racket, the bakery racket and the restaurant racket In November, 1887, he was elected District Attorney by grateful pub- lie.
 Pick" Pecora achieved his great est prominence as the tenacious brilliant lawyer who in 1883 threw light into the secret places of Wall Street, who cornered such giants as Otto Kahn and J. P. Morgan on the witness stand, whose revelations drove Charles E. Mitchell from the leadership of the National City Bank.
 But before Ferdinand Pecora play ed his spectacular role of 1883, he fought a long uphill battle. Born in Italy in 1882, the son of poor immigrant to the U. S., "Pick" stud jed law, married an American girl rose to be Chief of Staff in the office of New York's District Attor- ney, became a crusader when Tam many was still powerful enough tc kick out overly-zealous public off, cials.
 The New Deal gave Pecora his greatest break and he took 1t and made himself. After his work as counsel for the Senate Banking and Currency committee, it was obvious he would go far. In 1885, Governor Lehman appointed him to the State Supreme Court and in 1886 the people ratified this selection by electing him for IA years.
