social club held a very successful
outing at the Chase Country Club
picnic grove Sunday. The musical
part of the program was taken care
of by the Lost Chord Quartet"
under the tutelage of Chris Rear
don, and by the boys of Frank Bag
leys swing band, who played sew
eral numbers, all of which were re-
ceived enthusiastically.
A softball contest was staged be-
tween the single men and the mar
ried men, with the latter showing a
decided superiority, to the tune of
AL.
The success of the bake depended
largely on the cooking of George
Trosky, ST., which all agreed could
not have been surpassed. He was
given a vote of thanks for his good
work, and the members of the group
hope to give him an opportunity to
repeat his culinary triumph in the
near future.

I have received your letter OF
August End expressing on behalf
of the delegates from the towns
comprising the Twenty-Fifth Sen
atorial District, their endorsement
of me as our Party's candidate for
Governor.
I would be insensible to human
feeling if I were not deeply af-

dicated In your letter. Personally,
I am honored and grateful for
the measure and extent Of your

with a profound sense OF solem-

The office of Governor Of our
State Is one which any candidate
must regard with q humble spirit
and q high sense Of obligation and
duty. / feel that this Is especially
true Of any Democratic candidate
for that office. The great public
service rendered to the State by
such Democratic Governors as

STATE

After triumphant seven day en-.
gagement ''They Drive BY Night
with George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida
Lupino and Humphrey Bogart in the
leading roles comes to close this
evening at the air conditioned War
ner Bros. State theater. Included
on the same big show is "You Can't
Fool Your Wife" with Lucille Ball
and James Ellison in the featured
roles.
And then right on the heels of this
swell show comes another smash
summer treat, 1.-The Boys From Sy-
racuse", the picture that is hailed as
the greatest laugh-feast of the year.
Based on the Broadway hit of the
same name 1t boasts a Star-studded
cast with nine of Hollywood's top
performers in the leading roles.
The stars include Allan Jones,
Martha Raye, Joe Penner, Rosemary
Lane, Irene Hervey, Charles Butter
worth, Alan Mowbray, Eric Blore
and Samuel S. Kinds.
Three new comedy teams are pre-
sented in this musical hit. First
combination teams Allan Jones who
essays one of his first comedy roles
with Joe Penner. AS The Boys
From Syracuse, and also as their
own twin brothers, the pair actually
comprise two separate teams.
Another combine teams Penner
with Martha Raye. One of the Pen
ner twins is Miss Raye's husband in
the story. and she mistakes the 9TH
er twin for her husband at various
and hilarious points in the story
Two British comics, Alan Mowbray
and Eric Blore, are also teamed as a
pair of tailors who run through the
picture trying to collect bills from
reluctant customers.
Greece of long ago is the setting,
although all the comedy is as up
to-date as Hollywood's outstanding
writers and gag men" can make it.
Completing the program will be
a stirring drama of the prizering
Golden Gloves" with Jean Cagney
and Richard Denning in the leading
roles.

In The Local Theaters
POLI'S

| Opening at Loew'S Poll tomorrow
Is that blond bombshell Maisie, the
stranded showgirl character which
Ann Sothern created so successfully
in the original film of that name,
returns again in Metro GOODWIN
Mayors Gold Rush Maisie," third
in the series Of these sensational
stories.
Maisie is still stranded, still look
ing for permanent place to alight,
but she's breezier and funnier than
ever despite the fact that the film
finds her adrift in the midst of the
Arizona desert.
Teamed with her in the male lead
is Lee Bowman, the young arch
duke of 'Florian," now appearing
as Bill Anders, owner of a desert
ranch who gives Maisie shelter for
the night when her old jallopy
breaks down almost at his doorstep.
Much to his disgust she returns
with family of itinerant crop fol-
lowers who are on the trail of gold
strike and who want to camp on his
property.
1t is when Maisie arrives too late
in Tucson, Arizona, to take a job
as cafe singer, that she heads for the
gold town where she feels sure there
must be night spots.
After many trials and tribulations
they find gold, celebrate with a barn
dance at which all the prospectors
join in, then learn from the assayer
that their gold is scarcely worth
digging for. Then it's up to Maisie
to solve their problem all over again
by drawing Bill Anders out of his
crab-like shell.
Also prominent in the cast are
Slim Summerville. a frozen-faced
hired hand: Virginia Weidler, young
daughter of the crop-followers, who
insists on adopting Maisie; and John
Hamilton as the father.
Also tomorrow evening only at
o'clock Loew's Poll presents "Uproar
Hour" the fun game of the age. It's
all in fun and plenty of fun for all.
Ending tonight at Loews Poll is
South of Pago Pago," starring Vic
tor McLaglen, Jon Hall and Frances
Farmer, plus Love, Honor and Oh,
Baby" with Wallace Ford.
