STATE

One of the gayest and fastest col- lege romances to reach the screen in many months will be unreeled ct Warmers State theater this after. noon when Walter Wanger's "Win- ter Carnival" co-starring Ann Sher- idan, Americas oomph girl, and Richard Carlson, is presented to local audiences.
 The production Is said to Do one grand and glorious frolic as 1t IS patterned after that world-famous festival of fun, Dartmouth's Winter Carnival. Of importance to theater- goers Is the fact that ell scenes were actually photographed at Dartmouth College, during the year. ly sport-social event.
 Audiences will be kept in joy- full mood while viewing this exciting tale of an American Duchess who b taking life on the run and returns to Dartmouth College and the arms of her first love just when carnival time is at its height
 So the story goes of 6 temper mental young lady who Is running away from her recently divorced Duke who wants to win her back. Through c series of complications she comes face to face with Profess sor Weldon, the man she was once going to marry when she was Queen the Carnival.
 The story is unfoided against the vivid background of the great out doors In It's winter wetting, and highlights the majesty of thrilling winter sports on the snowbound hills, the excitement and color of the gay festival, the prom dances, and last but not least the selection and crowning of the new Queen of Carnival.
 Enhancing the cast is . group of clever young actors numbering among them Helen Parrish, Of Three Smart Girls, Marsha Hunt, James Corner, Alan Baldwin and Robert Allen.
 All in all. here Is lavish and ex- citing entertainment from the open- ing to the final fadeout. Put t on your must list--by all means.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present another episode in the thriIl- Ing adventures of Bulldog Druin- inond, "BulIdog Drummond's Bride" with John Howard and Heather Angel in the co-starTing leads.

 Today it is different Each gov- ernment has an active interna- tional organization at Its disposal for world propagation of its doc- trines, and each has active and organized supporters in the United States who take their cue more or less directly from abroad.
 The Communist Party of the U. s. A. is a section of the Third International, headquarters in Mos- COW. To 1t, General Secretary Earl Browder of the American Party makes periodic and often personal reports. From 1t they receive at in- tervals the "line" which all Com munist parties are to follow. The- oretically, the Communist parties of all countries are equal federated units of the Third International, but since Russia Is the only Com- munist country, the party of that country completely dominates the International.
 So in its American propaganda, the Communist party has taken the lead for several years In de- manding U. s. adherence to a united front of "democracies" the keystone of which was to be the Soviet homeland.
 The chief popular organ of the American Communists, the Daily Worker, was started in 1924, with the personal approval and advice of Lenin, according to Robert Minor, Communist leader,
