POLI'S

Tomorrow night is Rash KwiZ night at Loew's Poli theater. Be sure to attend and participate with the rest of the audience for the grand cash awards and valuable merchan- disc awarded weekly at this big event.
 Opening at Loew's Poli tomorrow is 'The Day The Bookies Wept," a merry film entertainment featuring Joe Penner in his newest comedy. Betty Grable is the charming her. oine of the picture.
 The plot revolves around the eff forts of group of Brooklyn taxi- drivers to get revenge on the book makers who have been taking away their money at the race track. They plan to do this by pooling their sav- ings and buying and racing horse of their own.
 Penner is the one of the drivers whom the others elect to buy and train their steed. Being a trainer of pigeons he must know all about 8 trainers duties. He happens to be en- gagged to the sister of a fellow driv- CT, and the assignment interferes considerably with the course of true love, but under pressure he agrees to neglect his pigeons and love af- fairs for the horse business.
 Penner is absolutely hilarious as the bewildered trainer, and the picture turns out to be one of the funniest comedies presented this year.
 On the same program is one of today's timlieSt dramas. "Torpe- doed". By ironic coincidence, the British Royal Oak, which was re- gently sunk by enemy warships, was used in the filming of this sen- sational drama.
 Featured in this production are H. B. Warner and Richard Cromwell.
 Attractions ending their engage ment at Loews Poli tonight include Edward Robinson in "Blackmall' and Lana Turer in Dancing Co., Ed" with Artie Shaw and His Band.
 Hey kids! You are invited to join the Mickey Rooney Judy Garland Fan club. The first meeting of this new club will take place at Loew's Poli on Saturday afternoon, October 18th. At that time officers will be selected and committee members appointed to handle the various ac- tivities of the club. All boys and girls attending this meeting will be given a Mickey Rooney, Judy Gar land Fan Club membership cardi In addition they will sign huge tele- grams which will be sent to Mickey and Judy in Hollywood later in the week. Don't fail to be here Saturday afternoon!

tee said, represents gain of 60 per cent over normal"
 According to preliminary commit tee estimates, benefits of the added purchasing of New England goods are distributed among the six states in about the same proportion that they were last year, with more high- iy industrailized and densely popu- lated areas beneflting accordingly. Massachusetts, according to the sur- vey, leads in added purchases, with Connecticut a close second.
 Lauding the New England Days committee for their work during the first three days of the drive, Goy- ernor Lewis o. Barrows of Maine on Saturday joined the ranks of New England leaders who endorse contin- uance of the campaign as an annual event. New England Day, coming annually" he said. lis designed to be successful stimulus to business and we, in Maine, appreciate the ef- fort and the anticipated results"

 The campaign, which will continue until October 28, is concerted effort to stimulate indutrial and farm &C., tivity in all classifications through out New England. Directed jointly by the New England Days committee, composed of chain store executives, New England Council, the New Eng and the marketing committee of the land Days campaign is repeat per- formance of the 1938-drive.

STRAND

Attractions concluding their en- agreements tomorrow evening at Warner Bros. Strand theater include Bing Crosby, Linda Ware and 100 stars of tomorrow in "The Star Maker" also Gail Patrick and Lloyd Nolan in Grand Jury Secrets"
 If you haven't enjoyed this show to date, plan to do so before the closing performances tomorrow eve- ming. You're sure to enjoy it inn menSely.
 And then starting Wednesday the Strand brings to its patrons one of the seasons sensational successes, "The Rains Came" starring Myrna Loy, Tyrone Power and George Brent.
 The film was adapted from the great Louis Bromfield novel and rarely has a famous book, which has been read and enjoyed by millions, been transferred to the screen with such devoted fidelity, such unspar- ing care and cost. The result as you may well expect, gloriously jus tifies the effort. Here is a great film that every member of the fam- fly should see.
 Myrna Loy breaks with the per feet wife" tradition to play the amorous Lady Esketh: Tyrone Pow CT has his most romantic role as the high caste Hindu surgeon, Major Rama Safti. who proves the one great love of Lady Espeth's life: and George Brent is seen as the worldly Tom Ransome. a ghost out of the lady's romance-strewn past.
 Others in the cast include the new discovery Brenda Marshall, Mi gel Bruce, Joseph Schildkraut and Mary Nash.
 Rounding out the program will be another of the exciting Torchy Blanc adventures, ''Torchy Plays With Dynamite" starring Jane Wy man and Allen Jenkins.

The Marathon Races

On the plains of Marathon, about
20 miles northeast of Athens, in
ancient Greece, Miltiades, the Athe-
MAN general, defeated the Persians
in 400 B. c. The Persian forces
were led by Darius, gallant COM
mander. For a time the Athenians
were hard pressed and greatly need
ed reinforcements to drive out the
invading army. Phidippides, cou-
rier or runner, was dispatched to
Sparta to solicit aid against the ene-
my. He accomplished a notable
"cross-country run," arriving in
Sparta on the second day after leav-
ing Athens. Help was secured and
the Athenians were victorious. The
name marathon race" has been
given to long-distance runs in ath-
letic meets Of modern times, thus
perpetuating the feat of Phidippi-
des, the messenger of long ago.

Minted Gold Privately,
But He Died Penniless

Bechtler, only man ever to mint
gold privately for the United States
government, died penniless. During
the period when North Carolina was
producing more gold than any other
state in the Union, August Bechtler
and his father, goldsmiths of Ruth
erfordton, N. c., were commissioned
to mint one, two and one-half, and
five-dollar goldpieces for the gov
eminent.
For five years, from 1880 until the
establishment of the official mint in
Charlotte in 1885, the Bechtlers
manufactured money legally, and
perhaps as a tribute to their hon.
esty, they died in poverty.
The coins are odd in their design
bearing the name of their manufac-
turer August Bechtler. Also on the
coins is the legend ''North Carolina
gold" or in some cases merely
Carolina gold" The ore for the
coins was mined within few miles
of the private mint and it's quail
ity was indicated on the coin.
