STATE

Remembered and praised by audi ences and critics alike long after most films are forgotten, are the two outstanding productions which comprise the all request program opening at Warner Bros. State the ater this afternoon for three-day engagement.
 Request hit number one presents William Powell and Ginger Rogers, two of the screens outstanding fav- orites, in their first co-starring vehicle Star of Midnight. The pic ture is termed as 8 delightfully."- en- tertaining and completely absorbing picture with both stars absolutely at home in roles made to order for their talents.
 As modern Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson combination, they work to solve murder mystery. Their detective teamwork is unique, to say the least, with the delectable Miss Rogers providing more laughs and heart throbs than clues, although she does inadvertently manage to provide Powell with the key to the whole mystery.
 The well-conceived, closely knit plot moves gaily at times and at other times with stark tensity to- ward a hair-raising climax. The romantic theme is subtly woven in- to the main story.
 Supporting performances by Ralph Morgan, Gene Lockhart, Leslie Fenton, Paul Kelly, Russell Hopton, J. Farrell Macdonald and long array of other capable per- former, are excellent.
 Plenty of swift and dramatic ac- tion will predominate during the presentation of the second request hit "The Lost Patrol". Heading the all star cast is rough and ready Victor McLaglen and the man of many faces, Boris Karloff. Regi- nald Denny, Wallace Ford and a notable array of supporting artists are included in the cast.
 The story is that of patrol of British cavalrymen who are lost on the Mesopotamian desert when their officer is killed by Arabs. Under the command of their iron nerved sergeant, they take refuge in an oasis, where they become the virtual prisoners of their invisible but ever vigilant enemies.
 frightened frequently by comedy, tinged with romance, and often touched by pathos, the record of the doomed patrol is mostly one of sheer drama, which reaches stir ring heights in a surprising climax.
 Standing out among the superb ly portrayed characters are the heroic figure of the sergeant, play ed by McLaglen, and the pathetic

 said Mrs. Brown. "T1e dreaded school like plague, because he could not take his books and make any, thing out of them. He could say the words, but somehow there was gap between the mechanics of reading words and the meaning of what they said"
 There you have it. Reading" is more than holding the book cor rectly and saying the sounds in- dicated by the combinations of vowels and consonants. It en- braces several kinds of mental gymnastics.
 First of all, each letter has a name. The name is not the same as its sound. The small child knows that H is called "aitch," but says "huh". In time he learns the phon- etics or sounds, and he can combine them with other sounds to make Syllables.
 And he learns next to combine syllables to make words. But in getting the mechanics of this, he may have to stop so long to figure it out, that he cannot possibly throw out 8 sideline to gather in the meaning of what he reads.

slump, and that is essential for good looks in any case, whether the body weight is normal, sub- normal or above normal.
 Body weight and body bulk are not identical. It must be remem- bered that solid muscle weighs more than an equal mass or vol- uue of fat. Thousands of young men who went from white collar office or clerical jobs into the army when we were preparing for the World War gained ten or twelve pounds weight in the first few months of training yet lost inches in girth, neck measurement and other measurements. They had de- veloped new and more vigorous muscle and burned off some of the burdensome stacker flesh, the fat deposits that automatically occur about muscles which are little used.
 This does not imply that the way to reduce superfluous flesh is by violent exercise. On the contrary the overweight individual, especial ly one past thirty-five who has ac- cumulated surplus gradually, should go with caution upon any regimen involving exercise. He or she must remember that the slaker flesh has accumulated here and there where muscles have degener- ated from disuse, and not only the voluntary skeletal muscles but also the involuntary heart muscle has partaken of the degenerative pro- cess. Therefore any overenthusiastic attempt at vigorous exercise should be avoided, and only moderate ef- forts undertaken at first-that is, If the purpose is to come back before it is too late.
 Walking is the ideal exercise both for prevention of accumula- tion of superfluous flesh and for sound, physiological reduction in conjunction with proper regulation of diet. Oddly enough, whereas formerly it was the well-to-do who rode and the poor who walked, to- day only the well-to-do can afford to walk-the poor have to hurry to and from work or wherever they go in their limited leisure hours by trolley, taxi, subway, bus, train or automobile. But for the for tunate few who can afford the lux ury, two miles of oxygen three times a day-on the hoof-or three to six miles in one dose of morn- inf, afternoon or evening, is medi- cine which always speaks for it. self, once it is tried for a week.

 o. How many soft-drink stains be removed from table linens?
 A. Since heat or soap will set soft-drink stains, sponge the spot with lukewarm water and denatured alcohol. Tannin, found in synthetic fruit juices and soda-fountair drinks, makes stains that are color less and invisible at first. After washing the stains with soap ano water, or being subjected to milo heat, they change in composition forming tan or brown stains. Often fresh stains may be removed by the careful application of a solution oi equal parts of glycerine and alco- hol.

compelling drama and exceptional acting performances. Directed with the aid of the star himslef, the highly original story of professor of phonetics who turns a drab Cockney flower seller into a duch- ess, is presented with a never slowing action, an engaging rcman- tic appeal and warmth of atmoS- phere and situations.
 Leslie Howard has made-to-order role and gives the part warmth and reality. Wendy Hitler, introduced to screen audiences for the first time in the part of the flower girl, is a genuine discovery of the first magnitude. Through all she transi- ton from guttersnipe to boise and beauty, she never permits the cul- tural veneer to obscure the richly human creature underneath.

Reading Palms Fun For You and Friends
Easy to Read Signs in Hands

Which rules your life-the Mind, the Spirit or the Body?
 Fascinating to find out from the three planes in your hand. The fingers are the Spirit Plane. The middle section of the palm, from fingers to thumb, is the Mind Plane. The base of the hand, the Body Plane.
 Long fingers? You lean to the mystic. A deep middle section to your hand? You're logical, level headed. And if the base of your palm is large, you love the good things of life-luxury, food.
 Most exciting are the secrets told by the lines in the palm. Look at your new beau's Heart Line, the line marked A in the picture. Does 1t rise beneath the first and second finger? He has a warm, sympathe- tic nature.
 You see a long, thin Head Line (B)? Cleverness without self-con- fidence, that hints. A long life-if it's red, nasty temper! An un- broken Fate Line (D)-success!
 What are the tiny lines (E) at the base of the little finger? They're Marriage, Children lines. Our 32- page booklet tells all about the im- portant lines in your hands, the sig nificance of mounts, stars, chains what you want to know to enter tain yourself, friends.

 Neglect to remove superflous hair from your legs as often as necessary. The loveliness of sheer stockings is wasted if a dark stubble shows through them.
 Use hand lotion only infrequently. You ought to massage it into wrists as well as hands and fingertips after each washing.

POLl'S

A gay sparkling revue, headed by the worlds foremost entertain CTS, and coming direct from the famous night spots of New York and Hollywood, will be the stage presentation of the Loew Pli the ater, tomorrow evening at g o'clock.
 Heading the bill, direct from the beautiful Trocadero in Hollywood come the Four Sullys, world-re- nowned whirling dervishes; Lou Saxon, Broadway,s biggest comedian, Romaine and Cawthorne, with songs and stories from Billy Roses Dia- mond Horseshoe; Morley and Anger, hilarious joksters, and the Moran Brothers, Bradway's most sensa- tional steppers.
 Gus Meyers, popular network star, and the Loew-Poli theater orchestra will provide the musical background for the show, which will be pre- sented in addition to a grand dou- ble-hit screen program, with no ad- vance in prices for the combina- ton event of stage and screen.
 A new romantic film drama, King of the Turf" opened at the Loew- Poli theater this afternoon, and not only stars Adolphe Menjou in one of his most important roles to date but also introduces a young new conner, Roger Daniel, whose great performance indicates that a new star has been born.
 King of the Turf" is a story teeming with action and movement and color. Its background is the exciting world of racing fans and gambling tables. Its characters come from all strata of society, its story is rich in drama and comedy, hu- nor and pathos. Forceful direction brilliant photography, gorgeous background scenes and honest-to- goodness horse races fill the specta- tor with breath-taking suspense and provide a thrilling evening.
 Menjou and the young Daniel are capably assisted by such outstand- ing supporting players as Alan Dinehart, Dolores Costello, Walter Abel, William Demarest and Tom Hanlon.
 The story of King of the Turf" relates the adventures and mis-ad- ventures of a small-timer whose luck makes him one of the most prodigious figures of the smart turf set. The story marches on to a smashing climax with terrific sus- pense and poignant drama.
 Menjou, in the role of Jim Mason brings to his characterization fine appreciation of dramatic values and subtle undertones. Miss Costello, ab- sent from the screen since she ap- peared in Beloved Brat," is a well come addition to the cast, adding loveliness and glamour as well as a richly human performance.
