Swing fans, jitterbugs, dipsy- doodlers and theatergoers who en. joy supreme screen entertainment jammed the Warner Brothers State theater yesterday in an effort to be among the first to see the big show boat of entertainment "st Louis Blues" on the opening day of its four day engagement.
 It is needless to say that this swinging screen sensation was en- Enthusiastically greeted as were the individual performances of the giant cast of brilliant entertainers.
 Dorothy Lamour and Lloyd Mo- Ian, as the screens newest roman tic team, are outstanding in their respective portrayals of @ runaway" theater celebrity and the skipper of a Mississippi River showboat.
 Maxine Sulivans swinging ver- sions of "Loch Lomond", "St. Louis Blues" and Dark Eyes" received unanimous applause as did the strumming and humming guitarist Tito Guizar. Cliff Navarro, Jessie Ralph, Mary Parker, Jerome Cowai,, William Frawley and Matty Mal- neck and his orchestra are among the others who add to the enjoy ment of this show of shows.
 Miss Lamour's role as celebrity of the theater, is witty satire on certain well-known aspects of her own career. She rebels against her tyrranical manager because, for publicity reasons, he insists on keep ing her in a sarong. and palming her of as a real native of the South Seas. The romance of the picture takes place aboard a modern show boat between Miss Lamour and Mo- Ian who is seen as the owner-man- ager of the river show.
 One exciting situation follows an- other as the showboat blows along the Mississippi. The climax is reach- ed in the arrival of the tyrranical manager, backed up by the law.
 All in all, here is your best week. end movie bet. Eight terrific song hits, five of them new, a million laughs and @ giant cast of favorite entertainers assure you of @ most enjoyable theater experience.
 "Newsboys' Home, thrilling acc ton packed drama, is a picture everyone should see. It stars Jackie Cooper in the title and features Ed mund Lowe, Wendy Barrie and the rough and ready Little Tough Guys.

communities have their way. In some places 1t is considered bad taste to have youngsters around when there is 8 party for grown ups. Besides the degree of formal ity is factor.
 MT. and Mrs. House have issued invitations for formal dinner, white tie for the man, and his Frau's best bib and tucker. This does not mean that such a dinner Is dull, not at all, but dull or delightful, 1t is, nevertheless, an OC- CASION.
 Neither Seen Nor Heard At such time children should not be in evidence. Not one smid- gen of them. They are fed early, for most formal dinners are late affairs, and relegated to their rooms, or sent to Aunt Emma. Unless a daughter or son is of "of- fcial" age to share in the party. This runs from eighteen for girls to twenty-one for boys. Even then, if 1t Is a dinner planned entirely for a certain group, they may not fit in.
 However, today there happens to be a decided swing to the more informal party. Homes are small- CT and parties are limbering up.
 Tn small house, children are hard to segregate. Not that they need to be present at dinner tables arranged for their elders, but, un- less they are likely to be under foot, they won't be considered ex- tra baggage if they stay around long enough to be part of the scenery.
 If 1t is not customary, where you live to have the children put on their best bib and tucker and be present for an hour or so, then that answers itself. Don't expect your friends to make a fuss over them. On the other hand, if every one else you know has her children share in any hospitable doings, then do as the Romans do.
 If a family is big, then would not make a circus of 1t. Some of the older children will be enough. But at family weddings, even formal ones, 1t is perfectly good form to have all the children present, if they are old enough to keep quiet. Copyright, 1889, NEA Service, Incl

slam at the national tournament in Cleveland.
 The responses were the Black wood convention, five diamonds showing one ace and six hearts two kings. When East discarded on the first trick, South saw that bar ring very good fortune, the contract was doomed. The one chance ap- peared to be an eventual end play on West if he held the diamond king.
 The ace of spades won the first trick. The ace and king of clubs were cashed, then the ace and king of hearts, and a low club ruffed in declarer's hand. A spade put dummy ih, and a low diamond was discarded on the heart queen. Now the heart in dummy was trumped and West followed suit.
 Lemon led his last trump, won in dummy and put West in with dummy's last trump. The last two tricks were won with the diamond queen in the South hand and the ace in dummy.

"Is this all there is to life-just one dull task after another?" How many times have you asked your- self this question?
 The great philosophers answer. They have discovered that behind the petty round of daily duties lies the secret of a fuller, richer life.
 Think not so much of what you lack as of what you already have," said Marcus Aurelius, the great Ro- man philosopher--and that gives you the key.
 What pleasure you can extract from everyday experiences, how you can turn a humdrum life into a glowing, delightful one is told by Lin Yutang, a witty Chinese of our own day. There is an "art," he says, in daily living-and you will find he is right.
 Other philosophers too have message for you. Ralph Waldo Emerson. the beloved American philosopher, showed that even grief can be an enriching experience.
 No matter what your life may be. the truths of philosophy are an ever-present guide and comfort. Our 32-page booklet gives the es- sence of the wisdom of Plato. Aris- totle, Epicurus, other great think ers-ancient and modern. Read and follow their inspiring advice.

 Answer-Make a belt of linen or muslin folded once lengthwise, hemmed around edges, 5 inches wide, one inch shorter than child's waist measure, with eyelets along ends and flap to 90 under lacing. Insert two-inch strips or elastic web- ping in each side of the belt. Before applying it press the protrusion back and draw the upright muscles on either side together with the grasp of your hand. It is best applied, as is the adhesive plaster support for navel hernia, while the child is held suspended by the feet. Careful mechanical support of navel rupture usually brings about spontaeous cure in the course of a year or so. If the hernia persists until the age of three years, a few injections by physi- clan skilled in injection treatment will complete the cure.

POLI'S

The most romantic outlaw in the history of America, the desperado whose daring colored whole era and endowed it with the title of the "Serious Seventies man who invented bank holdups and intro- duced train robberies-has been brought to the screen at last in the 20th Century Fox production of Jesse James," great technicolor epic, starring Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Nancy Kelly and Randolph Scott, and opens this afternoon at the popular Loew Poli Theater.
 Two years of research into the life and times of this fascinating char acter before the actuay production of the film was begun.
 Jesse James" opens with the inc troduction of the "Iron Horse" in its Journey through the old West, cutting ruthlessly across the farms Of the simple, hardy pioneers.
 It shows how Jesse James and his equally notorious brother, Frank (Henry Fonda) began their career of crime as Q direct result of the murder of their mother by an un- scrupulous hireling of the St. Louis Midland railroad. in the person of one Barshee, played by Brian Don- levy.
 Jesse shoots Barshee and swears to avenge his mothers death. A murderer with an ever increasing price on, his head, he goes from raid to raid.
 Love comes to Jesse in the per- son of zerelda. better known as Zee, played by Nancy Kelly, a gen. tie girl who gave up life of ease to share the wild, reckless life of this hunted outlaw as his wife, and to bear his son alone in the hills.
 When Zee finally leaves him, Jesse becomes cold and ruthless desperado, and the film follows his reckless deeds across five states, climaxing in his betrayal and death at the hands of Bob Ford, the dirty little coward" of song and story who sold him out to the law.
 Put Jesse James" on your must see" list, for 1t is l939's first sensa- tional hit.
 On the same program is another big hit, the gay romantic comedy, Pardon Our Nerve" with Michael Whalen and Lynn Bari in the lead- ing roles, supported by an optstand- ing cast including Quinn Big Boy" Williams and June Gale.
 Wednesday evening Loew's Poll will again present another excep- tional bill of headline Broadway vaudeville, in addition to superb double smash screen bill
