POLI'S

A scintillating new comedy team came to the Loew Poli theater yes- terday in Lucky Night" in which Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor make their first appearance together be- fore the cameras.
 It was a lucky thought on the part of Metro -Go,dwyn Mayer to take the romantic Taylor and team with him the joyous and irrepressi- ble Miss Loy. Taylor demonstrates flair for comedy as authentic and yirile as he has displayed in drama. Miss Loy is even more beautiful and stunirg than we have seen her in previous pictures, for the pro- ducers have been lavish with their budget in gowning her.
 Intervening moving heart throbs with uproarious laughter, the story unfoldS the accidental meeting and later marital career of Cora Jordan and Bill Overton. Cora, the spoiled daughter of millionaire steel mag nate. walks cut on her fourth en- gagement to hunt for a job. Bill is playboy down on his luck. Fol- lowing an accidental meeting on a park bench, they gamble, frolic and fight their way to fortune, get mar ried, quarrel over the family budget, separate and come together again after series of mad-a march -hare complications as hilarious as they are novel.
 With an excellent cast of fun makers in support of the stars, and a production richly mounted and taking in all the high and hand some spots of New York night life, Lucky Night" was superbly directed by the Academy award winner, Nor man Taurog.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Sorority House" which tells the story of campus romances. Featured in this production are Anne Shirley and James Ellison.
 Play Hollywood party at Loew's Poli every Thursday evening. Plenty of fun and excitement are promised you in this new game direct from the coast. Be sure to be here next

STATE

Cecil B. DeMille's greatest pro- dUction and one of the greatest of adventures pictures to hit the screen is Union Pacific which thrilled capacity audiences attending the opening performances at Warner Brothers State theater yesterday.
 The film is by far the most thrill ing of the year and in the opinion of critics it tops Dodge City" for exciting screen entertainment.
 Its star-studded cast is topped by Joel McCrea and Barbara Stanwyck both of whom give the outstanding performances of their careers. Miss Stanwyck. in role different from any she has previously played, is Mollie Monahan, lusty girl of the frontier. McCrea plays the part of Jeff Butler, the sturdy and hand some trouble-shooter, whom the Washington government sends out to quell disturbances.
 The two stars meet inc the gaudy, lawless settlement called "end of track" at time when a frontier sharper and his lieutenant threaten to halt the building of the railroad. The men are in cahoots with Chi cago financier who wants to stop the construction, sell the railroad stock short and make a big profit on the transaction.
 DeMille's unmatched ability to characters is again evidenced by the made-to-or supporting cast. Akim Tamiroff is excellent as a crawling. hard-as-nails railroad guard, armed with a bullwhip, Lynne Overman again wise-cracks his way across the screen this time as frontiersman, and Robert Preston is said to have his biggest role as McCrea's rival.
 All in all here is a picture well worth seeing. It is really worthy of being placed at the top of your must see" list. Make date to see 1t at the State over the weekend.
 And in the same show is another spine -tingling drama Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police" with the king of thrills John Howard in the leading role. Heather Angel is seen in the leading feminine role.

DRUGS AND NUTRITION

Essentially any substance used as medicine or in making medicines for internal or external use is drug. The Federal food and drugs bureau regards as drugs any substances in- tended to be used for the cure, niti- gation or prevention of disease of man or animal. Thus cocaine, mor- phine, aspirin, tobacco, alcohol, phenobarbital, veronal, acetanilide, bromides, and numerous other seda- tives, narcotics or analgesics or ann nesics- all are drugs, to the. solace of which those who are weak in mind, body will or character resort to cover their inferiority. They can't take 1t" without their favorite drug just as spoiled neurotic can't fit in without some special considera- ton for his nerves, or crank can't feel safe in this climate or weather without his bellyband, chest protector or overshoes on.

other because singly they cannot es- tablish universal Fascist rule. He described Germany as Italy's real enemy and said that Mussolini's link with Hitler has given a strength to the anti-Fascist movement in Italy.
 Praises Church Dr. Salvatore gave credits to the Roman Catholic church for restrain ing the Communists in Italy in years immediately following the World War. He said that although Italy is a Catholic country, there are elements in Fascism that can never be accepted by the Catholic church.
 There is no individualism under Fascism," Dr. Salvatore declared. And Fascism does not recognize the principle that all men are equal. Under Fascism not even nations are equal. These tenets are op- posed to Catholic principles, as is anti-Semitism. Yet it is true that in Italy there was never anti-Semi- tism until Mussolini came into power"

WET RAG THROWER
 MISSES SENTENCE
Fred Mertz Ordered to Re- port to Probation Officer
 Weekly

It was a case where his best girl wouldn't tell him good night" that caused arraignment of Fred Mertz, 30, of 54 Railroad Hill street, in the city court before Judge Edward MaScolo today.
 Seems Mertz called on Giles street the other night and, when an ar- gument occurred between the young lady and himself, "threw wet rags" against the upstairs windows, caus- ing enough noise to provide calling of police by the neighbors.
 Both the "best girl" and MertZ's sister testified in his behalf, telling how he had obtained work on the WPA the first part of December only to be laid off two weeks later. The mother is ill, too, it was devel- oped.
 Probation Officer Emil Hummel told the court, however, that Mertz had failed to make payments on a fine imposed some months ago. Judge Mascolo directed that Mertz report to the probation officer weekly, to the court two weeks from today, deferying sentence on the breach of the peace charge

Glorification of war by the Fascist countries make warfare inevitable in the opinion of Dr. Massimo Salva- dore, son of an Italian count, grand son of an English lord, who spoke against Fascism last night at a forum sponsored by the YMCA, held at the Waterbury Women's club auditorium.
 Warning that the Democratic na- tions must be strong in order to pre- vent attack on them by the totali- tartan countries, the speaker re- marked that "the Fascist countries cannot renounce their ideal, --hich is glorification of war"
 Hope Vanishes
 He said that there was a time when he felt that war could have been avoided but this hope vanished after the Munich conference. He spoke mostly on conditions in Italy but remarked that although many in this country believe that the national debt of the United States has increased tremendously, the na- tional debts of Italy and Germany have shown far greater proportional increases in the same years.
 The speaker declared that there can be no real friendship between Mussolini and Hitler because, he said, each thinks himself the great est man in the world, in spite of realization that they need one an-
