POLI'S

"The Return of Frank James, technicolor hit which opened at the popular Loew Poli Theater this af- ternoon for an engagement of four days is more colorful and more ex- citing in every way than the great Jesse James" of last year.
 In this new hit you will witness the exciting and stirring climax to the daring exploits of the worlds most famous outlaws, the James Brothers. An outstanding fact is that in this picture you will see in their familiar roles all the popular players that helped make Jesse James" the sensational hit that 1t proved to be.
 Henry Fonda, who created the part of Frank James, Jesse's grim older brother, is cast in the title role and his performance, which is superb, has been lauded by critics. Others appearing in the production, who were also featured ill the for mer hit include Henry Hull, John Carradine, J. Edward Bromberg, Donald Meek, Ernest Whitman, Charles Tanner and George Chand- Ter. The cast is completed by lovely Gene Tierney and Jackie Cooper, both in important featured roles. Throughout the picture is woven the tender and feautiful romance of Frank and lovely Eleanor Stone, played by Gene Tierney.
 The second big hit on the pro- gram is "Scatterbrain" with Judy Canova, and here is the years big gest jamboree of fun, laughter, song and hillbilly hi-jinks.
 An extra added treat is Walt Disney's latest technicolor comedy cartoon.
 On Wednesday evening the Loew Poli stage will be the scene of an- other outstanding Broadway vaude- vile show, plus a double hit screen program all at no advance in prices, and on Thursday evening there is Movie Party, game of fun and for tune at which $100 in cash awards is given away weekly.
 Here's the big movie news of the Iyear-"Boom Town, eagerly awaited by thousands, will have its local premiere at Loew's Poli next Satur- day, officially opening the Loew new movie season of hit after hit week after week. Boom Town stars Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert and Hedy La mara four-star cast in a four star hit. Don't miss Boom Town"

from his finding on the super superstitious" world of sports:
 A hockey player will go straight through the ceiling if he catches anyone putting a hat on his bed. There is no quicker way one can lose his job than by laying his hat for a fraction of second on the managers bed.
 Eight out of ten hockey play CTS put their left skate on first for luck.
 Neither love nor money could induce grid stars to wear any piece of equipment into a game without first having worn it in practce.
 Many football players always tape a nickel, with the head side up, on their uniforms before a game, thereby gaining the toss on their opponents before the action starts.
 The team that loses the first blood in a football game is sure to loss the game.
 Most athletes positively will not permit a picture of themselves to be taken the day before game.
 Many baseball players, from the lowliest "bush leaguer" to the highest paid man in the majors, will not step on white line while ro,yrdino the haseS.

Courtesy to hay wagons.

OVuSteSy " usJ Wo5VDs
 It is lucky for a baseball team tA zee 2 load of empty beer bar- reis while en route to a game.
 When baseball team blows up on the field, it is customary for the subs on the bench to change seats. To induce further good luck, some sluggers ap- proach the plate with piece of chewing gum stuck to the button on their cap.
 If baseball players pass a hay wagon on the day of a baseball game. they tip their hats to it for luck.
 The placing of a piece of black cloth in the dugout of an oppos- ing team will bring 1t defeat.
 It is bad luck for an athlete to see e cross-eyed woman in the grandstand.
 Tennis players believe it lucky to shave before every match when playing tournament tennis. Many basketball hotshots admit they pick up all the hairpins they can find. especially before 6 game.

PORTRAY TELLS
OF MILITARY
EXPERIENCES

The experiences of the eight col
ored Memphians who have been
drafted to receive training in Un-
Gle Sans armed forces during the
following year are graphically set
forth in a letter received from the
spokesman for the group, James
Portray, Jr., former Memphis col
lege gridiron star, which was re-
ceived by the Memphis World this
week. The letter follows:
after being indicted at Fort
Oglethorpe we are now going thru
educational and occupational ex-
aminations here at Fort Bragg. We
travelled the distance from our in
duction station 1885 miles, in a
Pullman car on the Atlantic Coast
lines coach flier. THE Dixie Fly
er." This type of travelling has
tendency to make a "softie" out of
a would-be soldier, but, unfortun-
ately, the minute you arrive at
your destination your comfort
vanish in the air. imagine travel
ing 10 to Is miles in a darn army
truck, after riding like Prince for
385 miles.
"Here at Fort Bragg you mingle
with about 1000 fellows. The same
as you, trying to get adjusted and
never losing an opportunity to give
the newcomers a scare. Fellows
are here from Tennessee, Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Texas, and few other states. You
can really observe the features
(faciaD of the tribes we sprang
from. 1t is amusing to see so many
of your funny looking brothers.
"There are about five college
men in camp. Texas College, So.
Carolina State, Tennessee State,
and Alcorn College, are represented.
The meals are fine. You will
eat it all out of one aluminium con-
tainer and then you must wash
your own eating utensils. The bed
is another complicated affair that
YOU must learn how to make up
according to regulation You have
available a very spacious recrea-
ton room together with a can
teen where you may purchase all
the things an army man needs.
1--WE listened to an inspiring ad-
dress by the chaplain this morn
ing of the dangers lurking at Fay
etteville, N. c., town miles dis
tant.
Equipment will be issued to-
morrow here. hope I am fortunate
in getting a good fit I'll let you
know whether I obtain what 1 ap-
piled for in my next letter.
Here comes that tough sergeant
lights out. eve are an hour
ahead of you Luck to you"
