 The Marx Brothers-Gr Groucho Chico and Harpo, come to Loew's theater party and come on down. Poli on Saturday in "Go West" " a wild and woolly comedy which opens a four day engagement here on that day.
 The Marxes say this is their epic western to end all westerns. It is the first time anyone has ever poked fun at the big bad men, hard-boiled sirens, lovely heroines and brave heroes of the early west. The Marxes do so by making the picture @ howl from start to f1n- ish. To help things along, they don pioneer-day costumes, revamp- ed to suit their own ideas.
 They are aided in their fun and excitement by stellar cast which includes John Carroll, Diana Lewis, Walter Woolf King and Robert Barrat.
 The film is full of music, with a piano solo by Chico, harp number by Harpo, songs by Carroll and Miss Lewis, comedy yodeling by Groucho, and a fast "Can-Can' dance by group of chorines.
 The story is a'< about the three MarxeS' adventures when they gC west to look for gold in Colorado and find that group of villains are conspiring to rob the hero and heroine of a deed to some lanc the railroad wants. They leap into the plot, and the fun never stop. until the whole cast winds up racing wildly over fast-moving earl! American train.

MOOies Playing
 TOday


Capacity attendance at the Wal ner Bros. State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the roaring Wild West thriller Trail of the VigilanteS" starring Franchot Tone at the head of a big cast.
 Marking the first Western role o his career Tone is said to bring a new and refreshingly different character to this popular type of picture.
 AS an undercover agent sent by a city newspaper to the frontier in search of the murderer of a.report- CT, Tone becomes a tenderfoot COW. boy who is led into series of ad- ventures that are both amusing and exciting.
 Sharing honors with Tone in roles aptly suited to their talents are such well known performers as Warren William, Frederick Craw- ford, Andy Devine, Mischa Auer, Porter Hall, Peggy Moran, Samuel s. Kinds, Charles Trowbridge and others.
 The presence of Auer and De- vine in the cast gave the producers ample opportunity to inject comedy into the action and they took every advantage of 1t.
 William does an excellent job as the crooked boss of a cattlemen's association, and equally good per formances are turned in by Craw' ford as a cowboy who wants to be- come a gentleman, and by Porter Hall as 8 timid sheriff.
 The choice of Peggy Moran fol the feminine lead was happy one and her portrayal of the ranch own- CTS boy-craZy daughter is capably done.
 On the same big show is "A Night at Earl Carroll's" a picture that combines hit tunes, comedy and melodrama with one hundred of the worlds most beautiful girls anc such celebrities as Ken Murray Rose Hobart, J. Carroll Naish, Ear Carroll and Brenda and Cobina comedians of the Bop Hope radit show, who make their movie debut in this picture.
 Topping the new show opening at the State on Sunday is 'Texas Rangers Ride Again" with Johr Howard, Ellen Drew and Akin Tamiroff. The second big feature will be "Margie" with Mischa Auer Nan Grey and Tom Brown.

HARRISOH IM HOLLYWOOD
BY PAUL HARRISON ra c.-.,s.. CfaR rorregnnn,i

NEA SerVAcC Ct8M NOrreSpOuuCns Hollywood-Even though her avidly photographed, traffic-stop- ping "strip-down" strike was a pulp Hcity stunt arranged to plug mo- tion picture, this Gerta Rozan is just the gal who'd do something like that in any justifiable situation. After all, she once laughed in the face of Adolf Hitler.
 Miss Rozan has spunk. And a sense of humor. She also has what it takes to fill out a set of black silk scantieS and pose in lem while picketing the offices of David Loew and Albert, Levin.
 The idea behind this startling behavior was that her small but dramatic part in 50 Ends the Night" had been cut out of the picture to shorten 1t. The Vien- csc actress is supposed to have announced she would picket the office with Q siS.i,
 Each day she would remove an article cf clothing. She would keep right on undressing until - (D the police interfered, CD she froze or caught pneumonia, or (3) the producers relented and agreed to leave her in the picture.
 REPEAT SHOWING . FOR CAMERAMEN
 On the third day, having got down to her slip, Miss Rozan Shouldered her sign and took a few warm up turns. Finally, at e signal from the press agents, she put down the sign and peeled off her slip. Production Assistant Stanley Kramer, who had been poised nervously just inside the door, rushed out, tossed a top coat around her and led her into the building.
 Protesting howls came from the photographers, who hadn't made nearly enough pictures. So the whole stunt was repeated.
 I followed her into the office then and was a witness at her conference with the Messrs. Levin and Loew. They played 1t straight. The actress said her role was im- portant to her career, and that the executives had assured her the part had been admirably played. MT. Levin said that was true, but they were going to have to chop out a lot because the film was about three hours long.
 She insisted. He hedged. She threatened to resume her picket ing. And he capitulated. At least part of her footage will be re- tained-if, indeed, it ever was cut. THAT FUNNY
 CHAPLIN IMITATOR
 When Miss Rozan had dressed and was ready to chat, I was able to notice that her eyes are large and blue, that her generous mouth is made for smiling, but that her face can mirror a lot of emotion. guess she's pretty good actress. So determined was she to be one that she ran away from home at IA and threatened suicide if her parents didn't call off the police who had been asked to send her back.
 So she was allowed to claim be- ing IS and to play with stock companies in Germany and Aus tria. She progressed to promi- nent roles in the Berlin theater.
 One day in the dining room of a large Berlin hotel, Miss Rozan spotted a little man who she as- sumed was a Chaplin imitator. His nervous motions and the way his tiny mustache wiggled made her giggle. When he turned and gloWered, she wooped aloud at his comic fury. About that time, a couple of men approached his table, saluted aid said, "Heil Hit
