STRAND

Performances this evening at the popular Warner Bros. Strand theater conclude the engagements of Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland and Paul Whiteman and his orchestra in Strike Up the Band"; also Sidney Toler in Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum"
 Local amusement seekers will have to travel far and wide to find a bet ter hour of entertainment than Deanna Durbin's eighth successive hit Spring Parade" which comes to the Strand tomorrow afternoon as the headliner of the giant program to be seen and enjoyed for three days.
 Perhaps this preview should be ended with the statement that the star is Deanna Durbin, for it seems all-sufficient. But the details are, in this instance, interesting for al- though it is not surprising that Deanna's pictures should be great, it is astonishing that the young star should be able to create such an un- broken line of triumphs.
 The current offering presents a more mature Deanna than in any of her previous pictures and more laden story than has been her lot in her previous seven pro- auctions.
 The brilliant star will be seen as a village maid who goes to the city in search of the destiny foretold her by fortune teller. She meets and falls in love with Robert Cummings and amid romantic surroundings, the story unfolds in an atmosphere and

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements with performances this evening at the Warner Bros. State theater are: Arise, My Love" with Claudette Colbert and Ray Midland; also Rosemary Lane in Always a Bride.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in smash double feature show with a two-f1sted drama of the old west, Cherokee Strip" headlining the show.
 The film is an epic story of a bloody feud on the last American frontier and stars Richard Dix with a supporting cast headed by lovely Florence Rice, William Henry, Victor Jory. Andy Clyde, George E. Stone, and Morris Ankrum.
 Here is spinetingliAg story of the west on an epic scale, bigger than anything ever made before, with a bigger and better cast, more action, more thrills and thousands of "ex- tras" in the big scenes.
 It has everything to make it an outstanding production. Its forceful two-flsted story tells of bloody fued between two families of Texas cattle ranchers, one of them headed by Richard Dix and the other by Jory.
 After signing a truce, Jory's clan moves to'a border town on the Cher orkee Strip where they continue their outlawry, one opening bank, another a saloon and a third a gambling house in the strip. During the course of events Dix is appointed United States marshal for the town to restore law and order, and that's where the action begins.
 If ever picture belonged on the list of pictures you must see it's defi- nitely Cherokee Strip. Plan to see it at the State over the weekend.
 The second big hit, "Tugboat Annie Sails Again" will present State patrons with cargo of laughs. It brings one of the most beloved char acters of fiction and film in a brand new adventure that is packed to the hilt with humor, drama and adven- ture.
 Marjorie Rambeau is starred in the title role of "Tugboat Annie" following in the footsteps of the late Marie Dressler. Alan Hale succeeds Wallace Beery in the role of Cap tain Bullwinkle, Annies first hate" and the romantic interest is handled by Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman.

 Probably more than anything else DeSylva's supreme patience and calmness accounts for his suc- cess. Stocky round-faced bald ing he even looks patient.
 Nothing ruffles him. He never misses rehearsal never misses performance the first two weeks. A 10 a. m.-4 a. m. day only leaves him anxious for more work.
 Of all the facts of the movie and theater business DeSylva likes producing for Broadway best.
 "The theaters so much more f1ex- ible than pictures says the lyri- cist, author director, producer. And" he adds, its fun to have your own way"
 What about a fourth show this year, to tie Ziegfeld?

 Others in the cast include Robert Cummings, in the male romantic lead; Mischa Auer, Henry Stephen son, Butch and Buddy, and host of other favorites.
 Completing this entertaining pro- gram will be a swell mystery-comedy titled Haunted Honeymoon" with Robert Montgomery, Constance Cum mings and a large cast.

Broadway's New Ziegfeld
Buddy DeSyIvo Has Three Musical Hits In the Same Block.
BY TOM WOLF NEA Service Stan Correspondent

bY YUM WOLF
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 16 - They said no one could ever fill the musical comedy mantle that snuggled so closely to the rounded shoulders of the great Flo Ziegfeld.
 They said no feet would ever fit his producer shoes. The halcyon days of the '20s were gone. So, they said, were teh halcyon days of nlu- sical shows.
 Well, they were wrong.
 Flo's mantle looks positively stun- ming on the somewhat broader shoul ders of Buddy DeSylva. Flo's shoes fit Buddy's feet like Cinderella's glass slipper.
 With the recent opening of Panama Hattie" in Manhattan's expensive 46th Street Theater, George Garde DeSylva, better known as Buddy, has become pro- ducer, at one and the same time, of no less than three musical comedies. His "DuBarry Was a Laddy" and Louisiana Purchase" are packing theater-goers into the very same block in which Panama Hattie" has opened.
 Whats more, all three DeSylva musicals are hits. This is a one year records that even Ziegfeld's four-show year of 1928-29 does not top.
 JOLsON DISCOVERED DeSYLVA AT U. $, c.
 Surprlslng thing about Buddy De- Sylva is that, although he has been a dynamic force in the show world for 25 years, he was all but un- known outside theater and movie circles until last year.
 Al Jolson first discovered George G. DeSylva singing his own songs in a U. s. C. college musical show in 1918. He was Bud" DeSylva then and the name stuck. Jolson bought two of the songs for a Broadway production and Bud DeSylva left college for the theater.
 For the next 10 years he CO., laborated The famed song-writ- ing trio of DeSylva, Brown and Henderson was formed in 1926 and carried on a long string of hit scores.
 Just before the crash, Holly woods glitering portals lured De- Sylva. He stayed there until a year ago, expecting a brief jaunt east to co-produce Take Chance, with Laurence Schwab. In the cinema city he produced a string of moneymakers, including many Shirley Temple shows.
 In the summer of 1889 he came back to his native New York to start this fabulous year of three simultaneous hits on Broadway. WRITES PART

 Whats his secret? T really have no formula" he says.
 We start with an idea. WorE out a rough draft of the book first. The book then goes to Cole Porter of Irving Berlin, with spots for tunes marked.

POLI'S

Escape" the Ethel Vance best seller which held thousands of readers enthralled by it's suspense, comes to the screen as one of the most gripping adventure stories of all time, it's collective cast, headed by Norma Shearer and Robert Tay- Tor, reaching the peak of their dra- matic careers in masterful charac- terizations. The film is now show ing at Loew's Poli theater.
 Miss Shearer has never done finer work than as the world-weary Countess Won Trek, who finds her. self involved in the attempt of ex- actress Emmy Ritter to escape a death sentence in a concentration camp. Robert Taylor, as Emmys son, Mark Prewsing, advances still further from the new stature he gained as an actor in Waterloo Bridge"
 Nazimova, returning to the screen for the first time in fifteen years as Emmy Ritter, reestablishes her. self as name still to conjure within Hollywood. It is a portrayal which ranks her with the outstanding char acter actresses of film history and proves that her absence has in no whit diminished her ability and that she Is assured of a new place in the Hollywood sun.
 To place one principal above an- other in this Superbly knit drama is hard, for there are at least three names which contribute almost equally to the fascinating unfold ment of the plot. Conrad Veidt as the epitome of impatient militar- ism, the General, lover of the Countess; Dutch, newcomer, Philip Dorn as the Concentration camp physician, Dr. Ditten, who refuses to let the new theology of his country blind him to human obligations and sympathy; Felix Bressart as the stubborn yet loyal family retainer, Fritz.
 The casting is inspired through out: Albert and Elsa Bassermann as the fearful Henning and his wife; Edgar Barrier as the sadistic Police Commissioner; Bonita Granville as Ursula, student in the Countess finishing school; Blanche Yurka as the brutal hospital nurse are all superb
 The story of Escape" scores Its points in the very fact that it does not treat of concentration camp brutalities or physical terror but lays bare the souls of those who are implicated in Emmy Ritter's escape
 Escape" is truly convincing doc ument that will keep audiences spell bound. Don't miss it!
 The second big hit on the pro- gram is Remedy For Riches" witf Jean Hersholt as Dr. Christian.
