STATE

Without doubt one of the most daring and sensational films to come out of Hollywood in the last decade is Confessions of 8 Nazi Spy" to b0 seen and enjoyed at Warner BYos. State theater until closing per- formances Monday evening.
 Judged as one of the most shock ing and most absorbing motion pie lures it stars Edward G. Robinson with Francis Lederer, Paul Lukas and Lya LyS.
 As the final reel came to a close yesterday, the patrons sat stock still for full fifteen seconds before mak- ing sound or a move, so engrosSed in the pictures content were they. Here was picture that in gripping dramatic tones had shown them what they all knew, yet had never stopped to realize its full meaning.
 Confessions of a Nazi Spy" goes beyond the mere expose of a small spy ring. It shows the open and fragrant campaign that Hitler SUD- porters are waging in this country against the nations democratic in- Stitutions. And it shows that the spy menace is still very great, and that for every spy brought to justice during the recent trials in New York, Los Angeles and the Panama Canal Zone, there are a hundred still operating at large. To quote Mfr. Turrou, the recent spy trials

RAISING A FAMILY - Don't Be Ashamed Of Deep Seated Fear
RAISING A FAMILY

had tried and failed. She was afraid of storms and she would always be afraid of them, she knew.
 One time she had left the chil- dren to themselves and said that storms gave her a headache. By leaving them, she thought perhaps they would be better off without her contagious fear. But then she was in panic lest they might open a door, or sit in draft or play with the scissors. So she got out of her room and never tried 1t again.
 When spring came, she missed its beauty and hoped for winter and peace. No one understood, and, of course, no one thought her sensi- ble. She could manage to stand the storms someway, herself, but now there were the children, getting old enough to acquire fear through ex- ample.
 Surely there was an answer some where. Maybe it would be best if the house was struck once. Then OllC LII Cd0 WOulu DC ONCA HCIduoC bA1V law of averages would make it most improbable that such a thing would happen twice. They said that when a house was all over before you knew anything about it. That would be a relief. Or would it?
 Nothing to Do About It
 She did not know that there was little should could do about it. There are many mothers who are exactly the same way. They try to conquer their fears of a storm, of a horse. of high places, of the hundred and one phobias that beset us. But al- though a phychiatrist may help, it usually has to be that way. There is no shame about it. Who says he is entirely free of all fear is mostly bluffing.
 However, one mother I knew was cured. It happened this way. She had a very sick son. He had been hurt and an infection had devel- oped. He lay under the threat of death while the worst storm Of the year hit their town. She prayed that she might be taken in his place.

GIoriying Yourself

 Don't dismiss the idea of cos- metics and corrective beauty pre- parations as suitable Mothers Day gifts with "But I just love the lines in mothers face and throat" or T wouldn't recognize mother if she changed her makeup or hair"
 Mothers Day is mothers day not yours. What she likes is what matters. And you may be sure that your mother, or any other mother, for that matter, does not think the lines around her eyes are just too lovely or that 1t wouldn't be fun to have a new permanent wave, a new coiffure and some new make up.
 There are charming gifts for mothers in cosmetic departments. And from beauty salons and ex- ercise studios come suggestions for presents that will please any woman young or old.
 You might give mother course of exercise treatments or a card entitling her to a facial week for several weeks. Maybe she'd like a membership in a gymnasium. Or perhaps she needs permanent wave. If you know that she intends to get new permanent within 8 few weeks, a course of recondi- tioning scalp and hair treatments might be in order.
 If mother has intimated that she's tired of the way she wears her hair, how about taking her tc an excellent coiffure expert who will be able to design new hair style for her? If she doesn't seen very pleased with the condition O1 her hands and nails, course of oi manicure and hand massage treat. ments ought to make her pretty happy
 Consider Complete Kit
 If mother has been wearing the same makeup for years and years she probably needs and would like new and slightly darker shade ot face powder. Generally speaking the skin gets shade or two darker as one grows older.
 If she has white hair and a fairly light complication, the new paste shades of rouge and lipstick vii be becoming. There's no loveliel present for any woman than { complete set of makeup which in. cludes nail lacquer, rouge, lip. stick powder and fountain lotior or cream all in shades exactly right for her particular skin tones.
 A jar of de luxe throat cream; g bottle of oil to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes; 6 hand grooming kit, containing hail lotion as well as cream to bt massaged into hands and wrists al night; new hairbrush and a bottle of tonic to cure whatever scalp de. feet bothers her most-any one oi these would be appreciated by any woman.

POLES

America number one juvenile star, Mickey Rooney, is at the Loew' Poli Theater today. It's Mickey him. self who swings along the merry way to screen history. Co.-starred with him are those equally famous members of the Hardy family, Lewis Stone, Fay Holden, Cecilia Parker, Sara Haden and Ann Rutherford. This story of the family is different nasmuch as it deals with millions. The Hardys inherit fortune and leave for the big city to collect it. There they each meet complications in one form or another. Mickey gets that way about a chorus girl, Aunt Millie falls for a salesman while Cecilia has one romantic trouble after another. During all this uproar it's only the Judge and his wife who keep their heads. The Judge finds some papers which prove that he is definitely not the legal heir. This paper he has every reason and means to destroy, but he remains true to his ideals and with the sanctioned approval of his wife he reveals it. The happy family re- turns to Carvel none the worse from their experiences except for some bills Mickey and his sister have run up but these they make arrangements to pay for out of their allowances. The picture lives up to the standard set by the previous films and even set new mark. The Hardy family is a typical American family. From their pictures gleams the brightness of true American ism. It isn't every picture that has humor, drama and yet leaves you with a clean appreciation of Amer ican ideals.
 Co-starred with this hit we pre- sent for your entertainment, "The Flying Irishman". Starred in this hit is the great man of the wrong compass, none other than Douglas (Wrong-Way) Corrigan.

A nice operation, in the proper sense of the word, is one done with skill, delicacy or gentleness and good judgment. The surgeon I chose to do such an operation on a member of my own family and later on my self was the very man I had once criticized severely-and would criti- cize in the same circumstances to- day-because he refused to do an emergency operation on a patient of mine who had perforated peptic ul- cer. The surgeon agreed the man would certainly die within day or two if not immediately operated on; but might die on the operating table and that would hurt the reputation of the surgeon and of surgery itself.
