In ten or fifteen years, she will look back and wonder where the time has gone. And, someway, some thing will seem to be missing. The children won't be so dependent on her. Other people will matter more. Home won't be their per- feet heaven. They will love her, of course, but she won't be their whole world. They will be up to their necks in outside interests.
 Then she will probably wish that they were little again. She will sigh for her babies who needed her so constantly and built their world around her.
 This is the way life is. We look ahead and build air castles for the future. Then when the future be- comes the present, we develop nos talgia for the past. Our rosy glasses make more of what is to come, or what has gone before than they do of the day we live in.
 Enjoy the children. Enjoy the little folk while you can. Don't al- low discouragements to get the bet ter of you. What difference does it make if Jimmy tears up the house

In The Local T'heate,cs
STATE

Crowded from the opening to the final scene with thrills, excitement and romance is the production "Stagecoach," the big important pie ture which thoroughly entertained capacity audiences attending War; ner Bros. State theater over the weekend.
 Its studded cast of players and its nine startling individual per- formances make it an entertainment treat not to be missed by anyone. Claire Trevor as dance-hall girl handles her difficult role with the finesse which has marked her as one of the screens most up and coming actresses. John Wayne starred opposite Miss Trevor as the redoutable Ringo Kid, jail-breaker, avenger and hero also turns in a brilliant performance.
 The line up of supporting players and their characterizations are as follows: Andy Devine who is seen as the driver of the stagecoach; the suave and accomplished John Car radin as a gambler and southern gentleman; Thomas Mitchell, out standing character actor who sur- passes his great work in "Hurricane' as Doc Boone; Louise Platt as Lucy Mallory is lovely example of charming, sacrificing femininity of the old South; George Bancroft who portrays the robust administrator of law in a lawless land.
 When nine strange poole such as these make a dangerous coach trip from Tonto to Lordsburg in the ad- venturous days of the 1880's there's bound to be action and plenty of the same abounds in this picture.
 The second big hit is "roll 'em in the aisles" comedy "The Family Next Door" starring Hugh Herbert with an impressive cast of comed- ians.
 If you haven't seen this show, by all means plan to do so this evening. You'll enjoy it from start to finish.
 Watch for the big Easter show treat coming to the State on Friday. Three big attractions have been es- pecially booked for this gala event.

POLI'S

Mgr. Ed. Fitzpatrick of the Loew Poli is presenting on the stage, in person Wednesday evening, for one performance only, Nick Lucas, "The Grooming Troubadour" of radio, stage and screen.
 This will be positively the only New England appearance of the star whose career dates pack 20 years and his latest step in steady climb to fame has been a broadcastlng success on the coast-to-coast net work as the singing star on the Al Pearce Radio Program for 52 weeks. MT. Lucas has appeared With famous orchestras, with the Kentucky Five, at the Oriole Terrace in vaudeville as a name" single, in night clubs, talkies and radio. He also has the distinction of having appeared In Gold Diggers of Broadway" Zieg- fields Show Girl" and Show Of shows
 Lucas is one personality that can truly boast of distinctive style Of crooning.
 Supporting this headline attrac- ton are such Broadway favorites as the Sensational Togo, daring aer- ial performer; Roy and Edith Rob- erts, Steps and Song; Paul Brilliant and Co.,, in a hilarious comedy sklt, and Harriett Nawrot and Go, with a truly sensational roller skating act.
 The musical background for the show will be furnished by Gus Mey- CTS and the Loew-Poli Theater or chestra.
 Retaining the tense emotional flavor of the original stage play by Bayard Veiller, the modernized screen version of within the Law opens at the Loew Poli theater to- morrow for three day showing.
 Ruth Hussey appears in the role of Mary Turner, and Tom Neal ap- pears as Richard Glider in what is his first leading film role. The cast also features Paul Kelly, William Gargan, Paul Cavanaugh, Rita Johnson, Samuel s. Hinds, Lynne Carver, Sidney Blackmer, Jo Ann Savers and Ann MorrisS.
 The story concerns Mary Turner, a department store salesgirl, who is wrongfully sent to prison for theft. She studies law and on gaining her freedom sets out to get even with the man who accused her. She joins a gang of clever racketeers and through her brilliant manipulation of the law they make easy money with police interference.
 The department store magnate is victimized, but always within the the law. His son falls in love with Mary Turner, unaware of her real identity. He is involved in police case, but meanwhile they have been married and she feels that she has at last revenged herself on his fath- CT. However, she loves the youth and suddenly realizes that she is making him suffer.
 The gang leader, in love with her himself, gallantly steps in to shoul- der the blame and the happy young couple face the future together on a new basis. While the original Veiller story is unchanged, the picture brings the people and the situations strictly up to date in a modern New York setting.
 on the same program is another smash hit, "Winner Take AL" with Tony Martin and Gloria Stuart in the leading roles.
 Attractions ending their engage ment at Loew's P0li this evening, in- clude Warner Baxter and Loretta Young in "Wife, Husband and Friend" and "Convict's Code" with Robert Kent.

 Don't Make Comparisons
 And put aside definitely the com- parisons you have been making with your more leisurely neighbor. She has to have an interest, too. She is not rubbing it in when she speaks of things you have neither time nor money for. Besides, she is more un- derstanding than you think.
 Most young mothers live in a world of conflicts. They want their houses to be attractive and in per- feet order, naturally. So they try to be many things at once. Time does change things, to be sure. As the years dissolve, the house will settle into place. But then, you may always be wishing you could have those confused days back agairA not only the toys, but the little folk, too.
 Too many women spend their lives trying to make distant poles meet. When they do this they lose con- tentment, health and looks. It is not actual work that wears them out, as much as the effort to be a dozen things at once. When one is wife, mother and general staff all in one, many things are wisely re- nounced.
 The minute you begin to show less concern about what might be, and concentrate on what is, you will find courage returning.
 There is nothing as comforting as doing one job at a time and saying, T am doing the best I can."

WOMAN,S REALM
.BEAUTX
 GI0riting
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stan Wrltcr i The Hollywood designers and makeup experts are wonderful at the art of gliding the lily. They can and do turn the stars out to LOOK even more gamorous on the screen they actually are in the flesh. They know how to make thin lips seem wide and full, narrow shoulders ap- pear broader, hair thicker than It IS and so on.
 Naturally, the average picture star is pretty lovely as is. Even so, few and far between are the women of any group-who cannot be 1m- proved with correct makeup ana clothes that are absolutely right.
 One group in the glamor factories of the film capital, however, seldom goes in for simple camouflage. It is made up of the figure experts-men and women whose job it is to see that the actresses have perfect dim ensions. A studio can send a new player to one of them and, in a sur prisingly short space of time, the actress measurements will be abSo- lutely right.
 i They believe in exercise for filling out hollows as well as reducing dim ensions. For instance, for developing the pectoral muscles which support i the breasts, Jim Davies, one of the most important exercise experts in Hollywood, recommends this routine:
 Sit or stand erect with arms up elbows bent, hands in front of you at chest level with f1ngertips touching. Now, without putting any strain on muscles of the arms, lightly press fingertips together. When you are doing this correctly, you can see the pectoral muscles expand with pressure of fingertips against finger tips. Do the exercise 40 times min- ute for two minutes every day. At the end of two months, according to MT. Davies, you no longer will be flat-chested.
 To simplify the exercise, MT. Davies has invented small ex- ciser-egg- shaped and containing a strong spring. Place fingers on ends of the ball in grooves especially pro vided for them, with elbows up and the ball on level with chest Hold ing arms in this position, press the ball together, exerting equal pres sure on all fingertips. Then allow it to spring open, meanwhile keeping elbows up. Repeat forty times a minute for two or three minutes each day.
