STATE

Jack Oakie and Lucille Ball. who recently scored in the first of the "Annabel" series, bring more laughs than ever in the second big show "Annabel Takes A Tour" opening its three-day engagement at the War ner Brothers State theater this afternoon as the headliner of the bill.
 Both stars are seen in the same roles as they characterized in the first picture; Oakie as the never tiring press agent is at his funniest and Miss Ball as the fiery movie queen was never more brilliant. The hilarious complications resulting from Oakie's warped ingenuity will provide audiences with continu- ous. series of laughs, while the delft performances of the entire support ing cast do much toward keeping the comedy level at a high peak.
 The picture stands out as note-' worthy contribution to the series and concerns Annabel's mis-adven- lures while on personal appear ance tour to revive interest in her pictures. To the publicity man falls the chore of stimulating this inter- est through the power of the press and his own peculiar bent for Bar num-ish stunts. Some of the rash schemes involving the glamorous star include Champagne Baths, fal- ing through a trapdoor on the stage during the personal appearance, her arrest as a rioter at a dance hall and synthetic romance with a for eign novelist who writes hot TO- mances. Complications arising from these mad ideas serve their purpose by attracting attention to the act ress, but their personal affect on the star and her would-be love affair provoke exciting moments.
 Others in the cast include Bradley Page and Ruth Donnelly who are again seen as the perplexed pro- ducer and his watchdog secretary: Ralph Forbes, Frances Mercer, Alice White are included in the big cast of players that keep the fun at boil ing-point.
 Kay Francis and Ian Hunter will be seen in the leading roles of Faith Baldwin's great story Comet Over Broadway" the second big hit of the program.

London, Jan .24.-European chan celleries believe that this spring Adolf Hitler will take up the cause of the oppressed Ukrainians."
 That move would mean a threat to Poland and ultimately to Soviet Russia
 An outright Nazi annexation of Ukrainian territory may be attempt ed-or there may be an effort to set up a puppet Ukrainian state which would be vassal of Germany just as Czechoslovakia now has be- come.
 Meanwhile many ardent Ukrainian leaders are working for an inde- pendent country-a Ukraine for the UkrainianS.
 The two movements are largely in- dependent of each other, but Hit Ter is perfectly prepared to let the Ukrainians do the spade work and then grab the fruits for himself and Germany.
