 Susie laughed. Dick was differ ent this morning on tiptoe with eagerness, possessively attentive. Susie couldn't know that he had made a stand at breakfast that morning, that he'd advised his family to attend to their own affairs and he would look after his and Suzanne's.
 "But she's nobody, Dick,", his mother had walled. "She won a homely contest or whatever you call them. wish I'd saved the pie ture Harker published before he dressed her up."
 "She was awful, Dick" Hester had pu. in. Simply a dowdy trump, her picture looked like comic valentine"
 More power to her," Dick had returned airily. Lots of the stars in Hollywood were dowdy little melodies until someone took them i1 hand. Suzanne is a sensation over the air, she has big future, Hollywood will eat her up." Dick had expanded, thinking of his own part in Suzanne's success. Archi- lecture was all right, but it didn't land you in Hollywood's inner circle.
 You're not serious about this girl" his mother gasped. "Rich- ard" She appealed to the head of the house who had wisely kept out of the discussion. But he merely rustled his newspaper.
 Dick pushed back his chair. You bet am. Tomorrow night I shall bring her straight here and I want you to be decent to her. You, too, Hester" he added, with an emphatic nod at his sister.
 "Thank goodness you're taking her to California" was all Hester said.
 So that was that and Dick waited only for the romantic mo- ment when Suzanne would melt into his arms. If Susie's offer from the coast had been the deciding factor well, a man couldn't very well get along without money. (To Be Continued)

 "Susie," he exploded. "I've got the swellest news. Broke all traffic regulations getting here to tell you"
 His excitement communicated it. self to her. What is it?" she begged. Tell me-"
 He held out the telegram. Look, he said.
 But Susie didn't look. Dick had swung in through the revolving doors and she stood on tiptoe to wave at him.
 "H'ya, beautiful" he shouted rushing up to them. Hello, Jeff, what's the good word?"
 Taking Susie,s bag, ignoring Jeff after the salutation, Dick urged her toward the door. Jeff, the joy draining from his face, pushed back his hat and watched them go. Susie said, Bye" over her shoulder and he stared blankly after her. When they had disap- peared Jeff looked dazedly at the telegram.
 Susie, sitting close to Dick in the snug warmness of his car, did not think of Jeff again until they were ] skimming along the highway north of Chicago. When she did think of him it was with a decided pang of regret.
 "Oh, Dick" she said, T was dreadfully rude to Jeff"
 "Is that SOP he returned ban teringly. "Well, be nice to me and that'll make up for it."
 She frowned, unable to forget Jeff's face, first radiant, then rue fully disappointed.
 "He wanted to tell me some thing" she unused. "I - shouldn't t have treated him like that. Won- der if could call him from a fill- ing station or somewhere?"

POLI'S

Presented tomorrow evening from the stage of the Loew-Poli theater, for one performance at g o'clock, is another headline Broadway vaude- vile show.
 Included on this weeks all-star bill are Yorke and Lewis, terpsi- chorean artists of note; O'Brien and Goldberg, stylfsists of hokum; Ray Hughes and Pan, frivolous funsters; William EbbS 6 Co.,, a surprise act and the Esquires, brilliant tap danc- CTS.
 Gus Meyers and the Loew-Poii theater orchestra will furnish the musical background for the show.
 With Don Ameche as singing, fighting, loving D'Artagnan and the Ritz Brothers as three phony Mus keteerS, the musical comedy ver- sion of Alexandre Dumas "The Three Musketeers," opened at the Loew Pon theater this afternoon to the thorough delight of an enthusi- astic audience which chuckled all through the film.
 In this picture, rd-play alter mated with horse-play, royal TO- nance and secret intrigue vie for interest with the antics of balmy buffons, and through it all rous- ing songs by ace song writers ring out. The melodies, incidentally, in- clude some already very popular numbers.
 Don Ameche, of course is a splen- did choice for his role. In addi- tion to his dashing, debonair man. ner, which alone would stamp him one of the outstanding D'Artagnans in the long line of famous actors who have played the part. Ameche's excellent voice makes him natural choice when songs are added to the characterization.
 The Ritzes are riotouS as the mus keteers. The manner in which they are introduced in the film is one of | the funniset scenes ever to high light motion picture.
 All the famous characters of the story, are ably portrayed by such | Hollywood favorites as Binnie | Barnes, Gloria Stuart, Pauline l Moore, John Carradine, Lionel Att will, Miles Mander. Douglas Dum- brille and John King.
 On the same program is the years most daring expose of the smuggling racket. Forged Passport. The lead ing roles in this new thriller are ably portrayed by Paul Kelly, June Lang and Lyle Talbot.
 Mickey Rooney is coming very soon in his greatest hit, "Huckle- berry Finn. Watch for it.

STATE

The latest Mary Boland- Charles Ruggles comedy to reach the screen, Boy Trouble, will tickle audiences attending the Warner Bros. State theater this afternoon and for the following two days.
 In the opinion of critics 1t lives up to the high standard set by the popular Boland-R -Ruggles team in their many previous successes. It is fast-moving and thoroughly realistic presentation of life in a typical American family.
 Miss Roland and Ruggles are once again cast as man-and-wife, this time in story of the hilarious ex- periences of greatly-harrassed hus- band whose wife adopts a pair of boys in fit of absent dedness.
 Overcome at the thought of a child in the house at this late date, Ruggles promptly sets out to take the child back to the orphanage, but on the way acquires a second charge as the result of an automo- bile accident.
 Ruggles' troubles now double, with the two boys using him as the vic- tim of every prank a youth can conjure-and how many of them there are.
 The picture winds up in a rollick- ing climax when Ruggles having lost his job and become estranged from his wife and daughter, is res- cued by the two regular guys he once wanted to drive away from his house.
 The film marks the appearance of several newcomers to the screen, all of whom turn in an excellent per- formances. Donald O'Connor, the boy star of "Sing You Sinners" and Men With Wings" and Billy Lee are seen as the foster-children Joyce Mathews gets her first feat ured role as the daughter and John Hartley her romantic partner, is also another newcomer to the screen.
 All in all here is comedy that will have you laughing start to finish. Bring the whole family and let them laugh, too.
 And on the same show is an uni- que detective melodrama "The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt" starring Warren Will liam, Ida Lupino and the popular favorite Virginia Weidler. Support Ing roles are played by Ralph Mor- gan, Rita Hayworth, Brandon Ty- nan and Marc Lawrence, among | others.

STRAND

"They Made Me a Criminal" star ring John Garfield and the Dead End Kids" also Melvyn Douglas and Virginia Bruce in There's That Woman Again" conclude their en- agreements at o'clock this after noon at the Warner Bros Strand theater.
 Something new in screen enter tainment will be presented before audiences attending the Strand to- morrow for the thrilling and authen- tic story of Uncle Sam's West Point ''The Duke of West Point" arrives at this theater for a four-day showing.
 Combining comedy full of hilari- ous laughter, romance which goes di- rectly to the heart and drama of cadet life, it is 8 firm which tells its story spiritedly and well.
 The settings duplicate the famous buildings, grounds and landmarks of the United States military academy sco accurately that even the ivy on the falls follows the correct patterns. The language slang" of the cadets as well as the traditions of the acad- emy are high points of the films.
 So the story goes of the enrolment of Steve Early, nicknamed the Duke" because he halls from Eng of-view until he is brought down to land and holds to snobbish point earth by the other plebes who are also put through their various paces.
 Louis Hayward is seen to good ad- vantage as Steve Early; Joan Fon- taine as the leading feminine inter- est turns in a brilliant performance. Other capable and praiseworthy per- formances are turned in by Richard Carlson, Alan Curtis, Tom Brown and Jed Prouty.
 Included on the same show as the co-feature is the riotous comedy Going Places" with Dick Powell and Anita Louise in the co-staring leads. Adding to the enjoyment of the film are Louis Armstrong and his band and Maxine Sullivan, dusl<y blues singer. Plan to see this show at the Strand starting tomorrow.
