 Featured on this weeks bill of stars from the entertainment world are the homeliody artists, the Three Hadleys; Wynn and Herwin, acro- batic dancers; Block and Early, call- ing all stars; Lord and See, pre- senting glimpses of life, and the TO- mantle radio singer, Joe Martin. \
 Gus Meyers and the Loew Poli theater orchestra will provide the musical background for his gala stage show.
 "Tell No Tales" which opened this afternoon at the Locw-Poli the ater is a remarkable production in many ways. To classify it is diffi- cult. The picture is different. Drama predominates but it is all-embrac- ing entertainment running the gamut of emotion-stirring situations and defying routine formula. It is a series of stories not unlike those that have come from the pen of the famous O'Henry, with all the ele- ments of life in a great city mould ed into one astounding plot. In fact, it is five stories within story.
 Melvyn Douglas, portraying the lead, is a newspaper reporter into whose hands falls hundred dol lor hill fhof ic ,orf nf O c,,,,, nS money paid for a ransom and mur- der. Douglas goes to work. tracing the bill. Step by step his relentless pursuit of the bills source leads him to and through every haunt and purlieu of the city's teeming life, with the menace of death ever at his shoulder until, in a final batter ing climax, he brings the criminals to justice.
 Supporting Melvyn Douglas are a host of brilliant players. Louise Platt, the heart-interest, newly en- listed to the screen from Broadway, gives a capital performance of the school miss who witness the kidnap- ing and left herself in for plenty of trouble.
 On the same program is another big hit, Code of the Streets" with Frankie Darro and the Little Tough Guys.

STATE

Two of the many great Init pie lures" which will entertain patrons of the healthfully air conditioned Warmers State theater this summer, arrive at that popular theater this afternoon for a four day showing.
 Headlining the program is thrill ing drama of the prize-flghting ring "Ex- Champ" starring the always rough and tough Victor McLaglen. McLaglen won the Academy Award few years ago for his performance in "The Informer" and was recently cheered by thousands for his excel lent characterization in "Gunga Din";; but you haven't seen the real McLaglen until you've seen him in new and greater role as the "Ex- Champ" t.... ....... It is said that this performance as an old ex-champion fighter is by far his best to date. In the story he is forced to make a decision that means the sacrifice of his own honor, dear to him, through years of hon. est effort.
 During the course of the story Mc- Laglen loses his job as an apartment house doorman and undertakes the training of a young fighter, who ul- timately reaches the goal of fight with the champion. McLaglen's son played by Donald Briggs, has mean while speculated with a clients money, and faces disgrace and pris- on unless the funds are replaced. One of the highlights of the film is wher McLaglen is faced with the decision of sacrificing his fighter and his own honesty to save the reputation of his own son.
 In the supporting roles are many favorites among them Tom Brown who is seen as the young fighter; Nan Grey, who was last seen in the unforgetable Three Smart Girls Grow Up," portraying the leading feminine role; William Frawley Samuel s. Kinds and others.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents a singin' swingin' jamboree of fun, "Somt Like It Hot" with Bob Hope, Shirley Rosse and the king of drums, Gen' Krupa and his orchestra.

 Before Annenberg bought the Philadelphia Inquirer he had never published a newspaper of comparable political or opinion-forming im- portance. The 100-year- Republi- can Inquirer had supported the Camerons, the Grundys, the Quays and Penroses for generations.
 But it soon became apparent that Annenberg was, acting for himself alone, and that he had mind of his own when he began running the In- quirer. He had supported Hoover in 1882. But after Roosevelt's election, he became an admirer of the New Deal. By 1887, however, he had turned his back on Roosevelt, saying that he had missed his great chance to save the country, and that the sitdown strikes and upsurge of the labor movement had placed the country lon the verge of anarchy" INSERTING

 MOE AND MAX
 MUCH ACCUSED
 The careers of Moe Annenberg and his brother Max from 1910 to 1920 have been subject to many ac- cusations that they were mixed up in less savory methods of selling papers than merely saying please, mister, buy a paper" M. L. Amen berg has always insisted that during this time he was in Milwaukee, and had nothing to do with a period when newsboys were beaten up, driv- CTS dragged off trucks, and even killings were part of a now out dated sales" system.
 Tn 1917, Arthur Brisbane merged three Milwaukee dailies into The Wisconsin News, and Annenberg ac- cepted an offer to be its publisher. Two years later Brisbane sold the paper to Hearst, and Annenberg emerged from the resulting shakeup as circulation director of all the Hearst publications, as well as a member of the Hearst Executive Council and president and publisher of the New York Daily Mirror. Annenberg carried on, in addition, all his own personal enterprises. Ap- parently it was too much, for in 1926 he resigned his Hearst connec- tions and has never resumed them.
 Meanwhile, he was becoming im- mensely rich. And beside his sons, he also had seven caughters, Diana, Esther, Pearl, Janet, Enid, Lita, Eve lyn, and Harriet, all now married, two of them to husbands who are members of the New York Stock Ex- change. Annenberg himself once owned seat on the exchange, but sold it.

 James won. But the Inquirer now carries new slogan, "An Hndepend- ent Newspaper for All the People, !" and are no longer completely against the New Deal in all matters. The switch has caused much mystified comment in Philadelphia.
 Annenberg's lawyers insist that if there should prove to be deficiencies in his tax obligations, they are due simply to the fact that his business ventures have progressed so rapidly that his auditors have been unable to keep pace with them. To those reer, it seems not altogether inn who have followed this meteoric ca possible.
