STATE

Attractions concluding their en- gagements this evening at Warmers State theater include "Our Leading Citizen" with Bob Burns in the leading role; also Anna May Wong and J. Carol Naish in ''Island of Lost Men"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other top double hit bill with the much talked about Tn Name Only" as the headliner.
 The film is particularly notable for its stellar cast, which includes Carole Lombard, Cary Grant and Kay Francis an unmatched aggre- gation of talent this season. Their roles in this stirring dramatic en- tertainment are a startling depar- ture from their recent characteriza- tons, but reminiscent of their early, fame-winning portrayals.
 "In Name Only" is one of the very few screen entertainments to devel- op the "other woman's" side. It tells with emotion-gripping power how a willy wife strives to bar the loss of her husband to another wo- man with whom he has fallen in love. Although the wife openly ad- mits that she does not love her hrs- band, she wants to keep him only for the luxuries and social position he gives her.
 Miss Lombard's role as the wait ing woman represents @ desperate departure from her recent cycle of comedienne portrayals. Grant de- picts the unhappy husband, while Miss Francis plays as the selfish wife. Charles Coburn, Helen Vim son, Katharine Alexander, Jonathan Hale and Maurice Moscovich have important supporting roles.
 AS the second big hit the manage ment will present Torchy Blane's most exciting adventure, "Torchy Plays With Dynamic" with Jane Wyman as the new Torchy and Al- len Jenkins as the new Steve Me- Bribe. Others in the east includes Tom Kennedy as the same old Gahagan, and Sheila Bromley.
 Make Q date to see this brilliant new season offering at the State starting tomorrow. You're sure to enjoy every minute of 1t.

 Of course you couldn't afford to buy your clothes at Manning's, MT. Fellows went on. But I won- der If you wouldn't be just as happy, and Dan a lot happier, if you wore simple little things that he paid for"
 Marians heart beat sickeningly, Grant Fellows had never before talked like this; in fact, he had been quite instrumental in helping Mari an out of her role as homemaker.
 Had Sally Blake put the revolu- tionary ideas into his head2 And why the sudden interest in Danp He saw Dan occasionally. Had he noticed his tenency toward bitter ness and sarcasm?
 Maybe Dan would be happier though I doubt it," she said, with an edginess in her tone which ha6 become noticeable during the past year, the year since Sally's coming to the office. But I wouldn't be happier. I've stepped up my way of living and l can't come down"
 How do you know you'd have to stay down2" He did have some- thing in his mind. Apprehension made Marian's hands unsteady I've an idea that If Dan were on his own-if 1t were up to him he'd surprise you by getting some- where"
 That's ridiculous, c. F." She was baffled and frightened. T haven't done a thing to hold Dan back. It's his own fault that he's never succeeded. If he'd had it in him"

O'Connor emphasized, however, that the museum has made no special effort to have European entries arrive early this year, even in view of European tension.
 The museum, he said, pays the cost of transporting paintings from wall to wall" Only a few companies are willing to insure ar- ticles with o value so indefinite as painting. War, therefore, O'Con- nor explained, would naturally multiply the risks and cost Of shipping works of art.
 OConnor is particularly anxious to avoid & repetition of what hap pened during the World War. At the outbreak of hostilities, the museum had to hold some paint !ngs and had them on their hands off the duration of the war,
 We don't want to do that again." he declared "and we hope that peace will be kept so we won't have to-"

POLI's

"The Women" all-star production, will get off to a spectacular opening tomorrow at the Loew Poli Theatre where it will remain for an engage ment of four days. With a cast of 135 actresses, headed by Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Ros- alind Russell, the drama proves to contain all of the elements of top adult entertainment with laughs and tears expertly blended by the hand of Director George Cukor.
 The new drama marks the return to the society drama by Norma Shearer, who gives an excellent and sympathetic portrayal of the woman whose home is wrecked through the gossiping of her friends. Joan Craw- ford. seen for the first time in her career as a "heavy," is sincere and convincing in every scene, and Rosalind Russell's portrayal of an arch-gossip adds another triumph to the Waterbury actress list of screen successes.
 One of the finest supporting casts turned out by Hollywood is seen in support, with stellar honors going to Mary Roland, Paulette Goddard, Phyllis Navah, Joan Fontaine, Vir- ginia Weidler, Lucille Watson, Flo renee Nash, Muriel Hutchinson, Es- ther Dale, Ann Moddlss, Ruth Hus- sey, Dennis Moore, Mary Cecil, Mary Beth Hughes, Virginia Grey, Mar jorie Main, Cora Witherspoon and Hedda Hopper. It may be truthfully said that every one of the l35 wom- en making up the cast add strength and importance to the production as a whole. ], It is interesting to note that the popular Clare Boothe Broadwy stage success, upon which the picture is based, has lost no part of Its effect- iveness upon its transfer to the screen.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Boris Karloff inc MT. Wong in Chinatown"
 Attractions coming to a close at Loew's PoN tonight include "The Ad- ventures of Sherlock Holmes" with Basil Rathbone and Should @ Girl Marry. with Warren Hull and Anne Nagel.
 A city-wide contest to find a girl who could be a double for Rosalind Russell, popular actress, is being conducted by the Loew Poli theater If you think you resemble this fam ous star, obtain an entry blank at

 Marian could not take her stricken eyes from his face. They were stricken with fear, not self-con- demnation. She refused to admit the truth in MT. Fellows pronounce ment.
 He continued. "I'll tell you some- thing. A man will work his fingers to the bone, he'll do without every thing he wants in the world, to pro- vide for his wife. All he asks in re- turn is that she think him wonder ful-think him the big boy. Have you ever let Dan imagine for one moment that he is wonderfully
 Marian said nothing, There had been time when she thought Dan wonderful, when she believed in him. Her memory carried her back to those happy days. Could she ever hope to have that same confidence in Dan again? That same unselflsh love?
 But you could only believe so long. After amending disappoint- ment you gave up, you gave up whether you wanted to or not. Angry tears stung behind her eyes. Grant Fellows turned back to his desk.

Ans: Gladly, although l am
afraid you will not like it. Let's
analyze your case: You are in a
position financially to take the
whole year off from work if you
like, so why not do as your doc
tors advise and consent to the OPP
Grafton that will add years to your
life. They have exhausted every
effort trying to cure you without
the operation and honestly feel
that you are being narrOw-minded
by neglecting your health. You
have nothing whatever to fear.
M. L. TT am in love with a
man and / know he is big story
teller. He is having an affair with
another woman, but said he wasn't,
and l called and found it to be
true. Tell me, does he love this
other woman or does he love me :?
Ans: Well, sad as it might seem
to you, he doesn't love the other
girl, nor does he love you. He is
the type man that can't be salts
fled with just one girl; he insists
on being a dashing Romeo to every
girl that will give him a chance.
Use your own judgment about CIV
ing him up. but there isn't posi-
bility of his changing.
E. C. XII am and have been
a constant reader of this paper
and your column is the one thing
that's most interesting to me. My
boy friend and / made plans to
be married and we quit few weeks
ago. What should / do and what
should l look forward to?
Ans: If a misunderstanding had
to arise, it is best that it came up
before marriage instead of after
marriage. You think you have
been hurt, but not nearly as bad
as if you two were married. The
man still loves you, but due to his
stubborn disposition will not tell
you so unless you go out of your
way to bring it about.
v. W.-Will 1 find work within
the next two weeks and will I
ever get my things again? What
should l do?
Ans: Jobs are scarce, but you
can find something to do if you
get out and search the city. Call
on every place that you can and
begin early in the morning. If you
keep this up a few days you will
get some form of work. 1t will
be at least another month before
you will be in a position to redeem
your belongings.
M. B. C.-Please tell me if my
husband loaned my cousin the
amount of money he said he did or
did he spend it himself?
Ans: Your husband is telling
you the truth about the matter of
the money. There is no reason for

Diamonds
BY Virginia Call

Diamonds are only chunks of
coal
That stuck kto their jobs, you
see;
If they'd petered out, as most of
us do
Where would the diamonds be-?
1t isn't the fact of making a start
It's the sticking that counts,
I'll say,
It's the fellow that knows not
the meaning of fail.
But hammers and hammers
away
Whenever you think you've come
to the end,
And you're beaten as bad as
can be.
Remember that diamonds are
shunks Of coal,
That stuck to their jobs, you
see.
