Strand will present giant double feature show spotlighted by "The Ice Follies of 1889" starring Joan Crawford with James Stewart, Lew Ayres and Lewis Stone.
 It features Joan Crawford in the type of role which sky-rocketed her to screen fame, and in addition irl- troduces her to audiences as a new find in film songstresses.
 AS Mary Mckay, she scars to new heights of film popularity. Her voice in three popular songs, is individual and appealing and her ice skating routine leaves no room for improve ment. Stewart, as Miss Crawford's husband, has been happily cast.
 The spectacular ice pallets, which will truly delight the hearts of au- diences, include the entire troupe of "The International Ice Follies."
 In addition to this great picture the management will present the Jones family in their latest adven- lures "Everybody's Baby. The film is presented in true Jones family style and, of course, includes the original cast of their previous suc- ceSSeS.

STATE

Capacity audiences attending Warner Brothers State theater yes- terday enjoyed rare treat when they sat under the spell of the two time Academy Award winner Bette Davis in her grandest triumph Dark Victory, which may be seen and enjoyed until the final curtain on Monday evening.
 If there really was any doubt as to just who is the greatest actress on the screen today, there can cer-. tainly be no more argument on the matter among those who viewed Miss Davis in this production. Her performance is said to lift her into the charmed circle of the motion pictures elect-Helen Hayes, Eliza beth Bergner, and Luise Rainer, the three great dramatic performers of the screen"
 Of course, while every happening in the picture revolves about the girl played by Miss Davis, the production Is by no means a monologue for her. An exceptionally able supporting cast, numbering in it such luminar- ies as George Brent, Humphrey Be- gart, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Henry Travers and Ronald Reagan, was provided by Warner Brothers, and the superlative performance of the star seems to have inspired them all to attain degree of ensemble ex- cellence which has rarely before been achieved either on stage or screen.
 7. Miss Davis is presented as 1889 model of all that is best in Amer ican girls of good breeding and great wealth. She is the gay popular belle of hard-riding and hard drinking set of "horsy" society folk, but she is decent, unselfish and al-

makes face powder stay on for hours without appearing to be simply plas- tered on.
 Learn to apply rouge dot at time, blending one dot careful ly before adding another. The sys- tenn of applying a lavish quantity, then removing the excess with cleansing tissues, not only wastes rouge, but makes it extremely difficult to know just how much of the color is rouge and how much is natural, caused by the rubbing with tissues.
 Generally speaking, 1t is a mis- take ever to blend rouge below an imaginary line from tip of nose to bottom of ear. If the upper part of your face is narrow, don't put color too near your nose. Regard- less of the size and shape of your face, always blend rouge lightly up- ward toward eyes to avoid a white streaked appearance between them and rouged cheeks. Never put a dot of color on your chin and, except for evening, better not tint ears, either.
 To give eyelids a subtly lumin- ous appearance during daytime hours, try covering them with an especially thin film of plain vase line or a bit of cold cream. Don't put cream underneath eyes or at corners, however. If lashes and brows are quite colorless, by all means darken them with water proof mascara. Otherwise. it's not a good idea to wear mascara and eyeshadow on the street-cer- tainly never in a business off1ce.

THE ADDICT

THE ADDICT
 The weakness which contributes to drug and alcohol addiction is universally recognized. But 1t is not merely matter of moral frail- ty or instability of character upon a foundation of inherited tendency or defect, as most people imagine. While defect or taints of heritable type, such as feeble-mtnde edness, inc sanity and degenerate strains, un- doubtedly contribute to drug ad- diction or alcoholism in offspring, there is still another factor which is seldom recognized but which. in my opinion, is even more impor- tant than inherent weakness, be- cause it is subject to the individ- uaHs control or the control of any one sufficiently interested in the individuals welfare. The factor of drug addiction and alcoholism to which refer is nutritional defi- ciency. It applies also to tobacco ism.
 I say this is seldom recognized. I might fairly say it is practically never recognized so far as the treatment or even the prevention of drug addition and inebriety is concerned. In cropping way the nutritional side of the problem has been touched in the popular and professional observation that can- dy or other sweets, a fresh chew of gum, or an apple. or troche or tabloid or wafer containing some form of sugar (which is quickly assimilated and utilized for ener- gy), satisfies, in a measure, the craving or desire for tobacco, drug or drink. But only in measure.

cause he needs a stimulant" or he wants to feel better.n
 The specific nutritional deficiency which I believe is a common con- tributing cause of tobaccoism, al- coholism and drug addiction is one from which a large ma Jority of the population in this country suffers in some degree, namely, insufficient daily intake of vitamins and miner- als, a deficiency due to ultrarefine- ment of modern diet. I would nar- row the answer down to deficiency in the intake of vitamin B com plex (B-1 or thiamin, B-2 or c or ribodavin, nicotinic acid, etc.), and sunshine vitamin D, as practical fact in most instances. The miner- als in which everyday refined food is chiefly deficient are calcium, phosphorus and iron. Not that the food is robbed of all of these clements in various refining, pre- serving or cooking processes, but rather that the body cannot as- simulate and utilize the minerals normally without adequate daily supply of the essential vitamins.
 For example, B-complex is es- sential for the assimilation and utilization of iron; D is essential for the assimilation and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Hence if one makes it a habit to get enough vitamins there need be little concern about the mineral metabol- ism.
 A great many who have adopted this habit report that they no longer "feel the need of a stimulant" or "hanker for smoke" or feel down without a drink once or twice a day" as they did formerly, and that is as 1t should be if my theory of the cause of tobaccoism, alcoholism or drug addiction is sound.
