Another gala stage show will be presented on the stage of the Loew Poli theater tomorrow evening, for one performance only, at o'clock, this revue highlighted by one of the hottest and most popular swing bands in the country. You'll witness the years most sensational swingeroo jamboree here tomorrow evening. And that isn't aIl-there is surrounding bill which includes some of the most popular stars of the stage and radio. Dancers, singers, acrobats, comedians and jugglers will be on hand to give you one of the grandest evenings of entertainment you have ever ex- perienced.
 On the screen there will be dou- ble feature program, this big combi- nation event of stage and screen being presented with absolutely no advance in our regular Loew prices
 Heading the screen fare is the dy- mamie Girl from Gods Country" with Chester Morris, Jane Wyatt and Charles Bickford in the leading roles. All of them are dramatic actors of the highest caliber, and excell them- selves in their portrayals. Morris is completely convincing as the physi- clan whom fate and circumstance have banished to the northern out posts of civilization. Miss Wyatt will be long remembered as the. nurse who shares his exile, reluctantly and rebelliously at flrst, but finally with wholehearted devotion to the doctor and his cause.
 Bickford is menacing as Bill Bog Ter, the tenacious detective who is determined to get his man by fair means or foul-and the fact that his man happens to be Dr. Jim Holden,

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements with performances this evening at the Warner Bros. State theater include The Great Mo- Ginty' starring Brian Donlevy, Muriel Angelus and Akim Tamiroff 1; also Tom Browns Schooldays' with Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Freddie Bartholomew and Billy Halop. Tomorrow the State ushers in its Fall Hit Parade with the anxiously awaited thriller "The Sea Hawk starring Errol Flynn, with a cast of thousands.
 The film unfurls the glorious saga of the boldest buccaneer ever to fight under the flag of skull and crossbones. Exciting naval battles between England and Spain, fierce fighting in danger-swept waters of the Spanish Main, midnight raids, fighting through enemy ambush and all the tyranny that shackles men. to the tortures of bondage are only a few of the spine -tingling thrills which Warner Brothers have included in this giant thriller.
 More than a year in production and costing well over $2,000,00 "The Sea Hawk" has been receiving rave notices from critics throughout the country as the most exciting picture ever to come out of Hollywood. Cast as a sort of Robin Hood of the seven seas, Hymns newest cin- ematic adventure is said to over shadow even such outstanding Suc- cesses as Charge of the Light Brigade" Captain Blood" "Ad- ventures of Robin Hood, and "Vir- gillia City," as he carves himself a path to glory with his sword and cutlaSS.
 Leading his man to the four cor ners of the earth, sweeping down on the gold cargoes of mighty galleons like savage bird of prey, Flynn is superb as the daring Sea Hawk.
 The romance of the picture is handled by Brenda Marshall who takes the part of Spanish beauty who wins the heart of the bold buc- cancer. Incidentally, Miss Marshall has been hailed as one of the most exciting new star finds" of the year.
 Heading the supporting cast of thousands are such celebrities as Claude Rains, Donald Crisp, Flora Robson, Alan Hale, William Lundi- gan and Una O'Connor.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present the most delightfully."- delirious of all the Bumstead adventures, Blonde Has Servant Trouble, starring Penny Singleton as Blondie, Arthur Lake as Dagwood and Larry Simms as Baby Dumping.
 Make your plans now to be at the State tomorrow when this giant show opens its engagement.

Women To Champion
 American Democracy
zOth Anniversary of Passing of l0th Amendment
 Marked By Determination to Oppose DictatOrs

chisement has justified the century long struggle by such great women suffrage pioneers as Lucretia Mott, Mary Lyon, Susan B. Anthony, Car- rie Chapman Catt, and countless other courageous women who fought for the right to vote"
 'Tn commemorating this occa- sion," Mrs. Milligan continued, "the contrast of our status with that of women in the totalitarian nations of the world is brought into sharp relief. The tentacles of Fascisnl, Communism and Nazism in some European nations have penetrated not only into industry, religion, edu- cation, but have reached into es.:.a home to destroy its Independence and Individuality by enforced regi- mentation. Totalitarianism has regimented women, stripped them of individuality and relegated them to the position of relative obscuf;- ity of breeders and workers, thus nullifying the progress of centuries. Whatever rights women may have had in those totalitarian countries are derived not from constitution. but from the whims of a power-mad dictator.
 Democratic Process
 "In 8 world torn by war, hatred and prejudice, beset by menace to all that is civilized, the women of America must realize even mors resolutely than ever before, that the right to vote is part and parcel of the democratic process. It is impossible to imagine any freedom remotely resembling that of the American woman of today in the totalitarian nations of Europe. As the danger to this freedom and democracy grows, so must our ef- forts to counteract these threats be redoubled.
 American democracy has fought for the rights of women. Today women must fight for American, democracy. It is within our power to root out the hatreds and dissen- SionS which totalitarian propaganda ists are systematically fostering in this country. Let us use that power and for the sake of our own self preservation let us dedicate our selves to the task of proving to the. dictatorships that democracy can and does work"

u. 5. HOME TRIP |OF AMBULANCE MEN UNCERTAIN
Scores Obtain Release From Nazi Camps in
 France
By RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent Vichy, August 27-(UP)-Rescued from German prisoners camps, driving their own arnbulances just ahead of the advancing Panzer- divisions or merely walking at night through the lines to safety, about 100 American volunteer ambulance drivers with the American Ambul- ance Corps assembled at Louvie- Juzon, in he French Pyrenees, out side of the zone German occupa- tion for earliest possible evacuation to America or for further volunteer service among French civilian refu- gees.
 There is no news of some other volunteer drivers but the records of prison camps and hospitals are being searched for trace of them. Most of their ambulances were lost, either in violent shellfire or straf- ing on the roads of France or left behind when the German army swept swiftly through France.
 Cited for Bravery
 When the saga of the American ambulance corps is written there will be many chapters of heroism because both individual drivers and whole units have figured in citations of French army uits for bravery under fire.
 The 20 drivers of the 1st Section who were first in the lines, were the last to be liberated, chiefly through the efforts of Robert Mur- phy, counsellor of the U. s. En- bassy in Paris, who intervened with German authorities to obtain their releases from prison camp.
 That section, which had been attached to the French xxx Corps since Ferbuary, was taken prisoner in bloc June 9 by the Germans, at the farm of Mon Repos in the VoSges hills near St. Die. By cas- ualties its strength had been cut from 26 to 20 Its headquarters were at Femetrange near Saar- union, in the Saar valley.
 In Separate Camp
 The German officer who took t h em prisoner, Oberlieutenant Stadlinger provided them with a separate camp behind barbwire at Rambervillers.
 Tired of the days of endless waiting for release, three American volunteers broke out of the priscn camp and tried to find their way through the lines to the French army. They were Alex Moore, Jr., of Chicago, a former student at Stanford university whose father is a memebr of the grain exchange in Chicago: Charles Ahrenfeldt and Richard Meyer. They were captured again by the Germans near Epinal after having covered 100 miles mostly by night, and were returned to the camp at Rambervillers but were liberated with the other Americans and joined the Pyrenees camp.

mentous meeting of Miss Davis and Boyer as co-starTing team. Although the story is an actual record of events which took place more than a hundred years ago it might have been written just to fit them. So pleased was author Rachel Field with their performances that she wrote: T feel that the screen ver- sion is not only the book as wrote it but a projection of the charac- ters themselves, heightened by the art of Miss Davis and MT. Boyer. Featured with the dynamic stars are Jeffrey Lynn, Barbara ONeil, and a big supporting cast of fav- orites including Virginia Weidler, Helen Westley, Walter Hampden, Henry Daniell, Harry Daveprot and many others.
