M The Local Theaters
POLI'S

Now playing at the popular Loew- Poli theater is Shirley Temples first technicolor film "The Little Prin- cess," the screen version of this fa- nous classic.
 The most impressive cast ever as- sembled for Shirley Temple pro- duction supports the dimpled star in bringing the immortal story to life on the screen, headed by Rich ard Greene and Anita Louise and including Ian Hunter, Cesar Romero, Arthur Preacher, Mary Nash, Sybil Jason, Miles Mander and Marcia Mae Jones.
 "The Little Princess" which, &C., cording to advance reports has been acclaimed not only Shirley,s finest picture, but one of the truly great films of all time, was directed by Walter Lang from screen play by Ethel Hill and Walter Ferris.
 Set in, one of the most colorful periods of English history, when Queen Victoria's reign was drawing to close, the beloved Frances Hodgson Burnett story casts Shirley as what the dimpled star herself describes as backwards Cinder- ella"
 When her devoted and wealthy father, an officer in the GrenadierS, goes off with his regiment to fight in the Boer war, he leaves the happy child at Miss Minchin's exclusive school for girls. Later, when he is reported dead = a bankrupt-the cruel Miss Minchin takes away all of Shriley's finery and turns her into pathetic little slavey.
 "The Little Princess" firmly be- lieves her father is still alive, how ever, and she determines to search for him. How all the entangled threads of the story are unwound provides the film with a stirring climax-in which Shirley meets none other than the famous ruler, Queen Victoria.
 On the same program is another smash hit, the very latest of the popular Jones Family series, this one entitled "Everybody's Baby" featur- ing those well known favorites Jed Prouty, Spring Byington, Shirley Deane, Kenneth Howell and all the rest of the family.
 In the new film the family is pre- sented with bowling addition to the family. Don't miss the grand fun that ensues. You'll roll in the aisles from laughter.

for taking sulphur and molasses as spring tonic. (w. L. S.)
 Answer-Sulphur is merely laxa- tive. The old concoction nuphon- iously called spring tonic" was a mixture of about equal quantities of flowers of sulphur and molasses, of which the benighted ones took from a teaspoon to two or three tea spoonfuls daily for month or so- till after the big thaw. A real spring tonic, I think, is sunshine, all you can get on naked skin, and plenty of fresh greens beet greens, dan- delion greens, mustard greens, green onions with tops, tops of radishes, celery, etc. (rather than the bleached hearts or just the roots) fresh green asparagus, let tuce, spinach, and when available, fresh fruit. Never discard the green tops of onions-it should be the rule that the tops must be eaten with the bulbs. In the tops are most of the vitamins, most of the iron, most of the calcium, and, when you come to find out, most of the appetizing tang.

 Thousands who thrilled to the entertaining qualities of that mem orable motion picture, "Men iiA White," have a treat in store for them at the Strand where picture similar to that success opens tomor- row afternoon for three day en- gagement.

 It is the story of four girls who enter the profession for four dif- ferent purposes only to find the same goal of sacrifice for humanity.

GL0rying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer


 It is a fairly simple matter for the woman who has a triangular shaped face to arrange her hair and apply cosmetics in such way as to make the lower part of the face seem less broad, her forehead less tapering.
 If your face is triangular broader across the jaws than across the forehead always brush hair back and up from the temples to create the illusion of width in the forehead and length in the face.
 According to Perc Westmore, fa- nous Hollywood makeup expert, it would be mistake for you to part your hair low at the side, to have bangs or wear it absolutely flat across the top. MT. Westmore would have you avoid any coiffure in which the hair is dressed very low on the neck. Keep forehead fully exposed, he says, using the natural hairline with softness behind ears but not full at jawline. No dips and no square cut bobs.
 fCOuBe OuSnL tO Uc U1cIiucu oAi ollC outside of cheeks, carried faintly toward temples and down. ward to create a slight shadow at jawline. Don't apply it in a circle in center of cheeks or get it too close to your nose.
 Use lipstick to make mouth look wide and full. Stick to natural lines. No Cupid's bows or round, rosebud effects. Leaving the mouth wide will tend to reduce the ap- parent width of the jawline.
 However, if your face happens to fall in the inverted triangle cate- gory-wide brow and narrow chin- line-dress hair softly on top, let ting fullness begin at point above ears and continue downward behind them. A long bob with heir slicked down on the head and quantities of fluffy ends low on the neckline would be all wrong. Place rouge on highest point of cheek bones, carry ing it well upward to temples and downward to a point directly below center fullness of cheeks.

TEA LEAF POULTICE FOR
 BURNS


 BURNS
 Popular magazines some time ago described in the usual extravagant fashion the alleged discovery bya factory physician of the efficacy of tannic acid treatment for burns.
 The Pittsburgh Medical Review May 1890, contained report of the effects of such treatment for burns It gave simple instructions, as fol- lows:
 A 5 per cent solution is squeezed from a sponge over the denuded (raw) surface, which is then dressed with soft ointment tsay soft para fin, or as it is more commonly called in this country, petrolatum or petro- latum jelly) with or without tannin Pain immediately abates, and the healing process is wonderfully rapid The tannin (tannic aciO solution must, of course, be freshly applied as often as the dressing is renewed.
 To that I would add the advice to renew or disturb the dressing ONLY when discomfort demands it. Once any burn, wound or raw sur- face is clean and in condition to heal, the less frequently it is dressed or handled or disturbed or moved unnecessarily, the more satisfactor- fly will it heal. Tannin or tannic acid is strongly astringent brown ish white shiny substance obtained from nutgalls, sumac and tea. Coffee contains less tannic than tea.
 Tea or coffee made without boil ing contains less tannin than do the same beverages after boiling Moreover boiling drives of the pleasant aroma of coffee or tea That's why I say it is a crime to boil the coffee, and when you smell coffee before you get down to break fast the cook should be sentenced forthwith. Tannin is not bitter at all, but oh, gosh, how it does pucker up things and hadren your insides
 Tannin (tannic acid) Is not so sol- uble in warm water as it is in boil ing water.
 Way back in 1871, Dr. w. H Searles, Warsaw, Wisconsin, pub- lished in the Chicago Medical Ex- aminer (April issues) his homely remedy for burns, reporting its suc- cessful use in the case of a child who had been terribly burned over the entire front of the body, arms and legs, by a kettle of hot water the child had upset upon itself. Dr. Searles prepared large poultice of tea leaves, softening the leaves with hot water. and applied it while yet quite warm, upon cotton wool q suggest that sterile gauge would be better) over the entire burned sur- face. Almost like magic the suffer- ings abated and, without the use ot any other anodyne, the child soon fell into a quiet sleep. In a few hours I removed the application and reapplied it where it was neces- sary. I found the parts discolored and apparently tanned. Tenderness had nearly disappeared little patient made a good recovery in about three weeks. Since then on several occasions I have had reason to recommend tea leaves, till now ] have come to prefer it to all other remedies in the first stage of burns and ScaldS
 I, (Old Doc Brady) suggest that the tea leaves be made into poul- tice with BOILING water, rather than just hot water.
 Ordinary green tea is okey for such a poultice, but black tea con- tains more tannin and would prob- ably be even better.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

o. I am very awkward, self conscious and sensitive. What can I do to overcome these faults?
 A. You must force yourself to mingle with others. A good way to overcome these faults is to attend lectures, debates, and concerts. Con- centrate on what you hear and you will gradually lose that self-con- scious feeling. When you are in a group of people remember that prob ably they are not giving you thought. Forget yourself, and ask questions on subjects in which you know your partner is interested. It is not necessary to be a wallfiower when your neighbor would be glad to explain his hobby or his avoca- tion, or enjoy talking about his chil- dren. With public libraries easily available no one need be uninformed on matters of general interest. Music means more if you are familiar with the lives of the composers, and the stories of various operas. If you are interested in animals, read books about them; or, if you want to see how the other side of the world lives, and cannot afford to travel, read books on the customs of the nations, races and tribes. In the modern world, with magazines and newspa- pers at hand, it is ineXcusable not to be informed about the lives and works of authors and public figures, so as to be able to converse duently on such subjects. A 24-page booklet Personality and Charm" discusses this subject. It may be ordered from our Washington Service Bureau, 1913 Thirteenth strete, Washington, D O., for 10 cents.

STATE

James Cagney as "The Oklahoma Kid" role that differs from his previous success, was enthusiastic- ally greeted by capacity audiences attending the Warner Bros. State theater yesterday, the opening day of its four day engagement.
 Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Donald Crisp and a supporting acts of thousands assist the star in his great characterization. Cagney,s performance has been declared as better than his critics award role in Angels With Dirty Faces"
 Though he wears sombreo buckskin jacket and high-heeled riding boots of the frontier gun- fighter of the 18th century, though he carries brace of old Colt six shooters on his hips instead of 8 modern automatic in shoulder holster, though he discloses that he is real leather horseman, Cagney is fundamentally the same sort of fellow as thrilled audiences in many memorable productions.
 And on the same show is an ex- citing drama "Soclecy Smugglers' with Preston Foster and Irene Her. vey in a co-starring leads. An impressive supporting cast add to the enjoyment of the film.
 Starting Tuesday the State will present an outstanding double nit bill that is rated high in audience appeal. The headliner will be The Spirit of Culver" with Jackie Cooper and Freddie Barthu:omew both veterans of many screen hits, shar- ing honors.
 Featured players include Andy Devine, Henry Hull, Tim Holt, Gene Reynolds anu Jackie Moran and one of the most largest groups of popu- lar boy actors ever assembled for a single picture.
 The story is told against the, background of military school and presents the entertaining story of a fathers regeneration through the influence and example of his son. Throughout the picture, runs the gay comedy of carefree school life and the stirring action of military parade scenes.
 The second big hit exposes the racketeering of powerful gambling rings. The drama is entitled "Gamb- ling Ship" and stars William Gar gan, Helen Mack and Edward Brophy.
