GIOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 A consoling thought for the wom- an who hates exercises, loves rich food and is, particularly at this time of the year, just plain tired of weight watching, might be the fact that the majority of the Hollywood glamor girls have figure problems.
 Young actresses who are being trained for big roles usually have to worry about how to reduce their measurements. Well-known stars are equally concerned with maintaining the dimensions that are part of their glamor.
 And in no other group of salons are reducing exercises more simpli- fled than they are in the film capi- tai.
 Ane of the most important in- structors in the let's-give-them- easy-exercises school of thought is Jim Davies, who numbers among his most enthusiastic clients such stars Dorothy Lamour, and such lovely little starlets as Janet Waldo.
 There are a dozen good exer- cises that will take inches of the hips," says MT. Davies. "But usual- ly have the actresses who come to me do only one. It's simple rolling over -and-over routine which they the gymnasium"
 Here are directions, as given by MT. Davies:
 Attach a rope to the ceiling or to a low hook or even to the back of sturdy chair, letting the ends hang about IS inches from the floor. Now lie fiat on your back. Grasp the rope with both hands, lifting head and neck off the flor. At the same time raise both feet off the floor, keeping ankles together. With head and feet raised, all of your weight is on hips.
 Now roll to the right as far as possible, then back to the left. Roll back and forth ten times the first day, twelve the second, fourteen the third, and so on, until you are roll- ing fifty times a day.
 If you do not use rope for sup port, simply cross arms on your chest, raise the head and feet. Roll over and over and over to the right. yer and over and over to the left.
 Begin with ten rolls day, grad ually increasing the number until you are rolling over and over fifty times a day. Repeat every day for three months, and no two ways about it, your hips with be simmer.

n The Local Theaters


Attractions concluding their en. gagement this evening at the War ner Brothers State theater include the gay comedy romance Midnight with Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche in the leads; also Hum- phrey Bogart in "You Can't Get Away With Murder"
 Theatergoers attending the State tomorrow through Thursday will be treated to faster and funnier' en- tainment when the headliner Cafe Society" unreels its gay story on the screen.
 The glittering coterie which has turned the 400" into stamping ground for jitterugs and probably gets more space in the newspapers than war or Roosevelt is made the subject for hilarious screen ribbing in the film.
 With Madeleine Carroll, Fred Mac Murray and Shirley Ross playing the leading roles it turns inside out this years counterpart to the 400 of generation ago, and does it SC good surely that even the most ardent apologist for New York,s so- called smarteSt set must join in the fun. All the characters who have made the term Cafe Society" a synonym for Glamour, excitement scandal and extravagant living take their place in the spotlight as the comedy unfolds its tale of spoiled society girl who marries a hard boiled newspaper man in order to get in the gossip columns and finds a husband far different from what she expects.
 Miss Carroll is presented a sophis- ticated, spoiled and bored debutante; Fred MacMurray as the two-fisted newspaper reporter and Miss Ross as cigarette girl and would be songstress. The chief supporting roles are played by Claude Gilling- water, Jessie Ralph and Allyn Jos lyn.
 AS the second big hit the man. agement will present One Tihrd of A Nation" with Sylvia Sydney tg2e big sister of the Dead End kids. in the leading role. Of course, theatergoers remember Miss Sydney for her brilliant performances in Street Scene" and Fury" She is said to top these characerizations in this her current film.
