Thrill America-for here come the Flying Hell Cats in Flight Command" exciting drama of naval aviation with Robert Taylor, Wal ter Pidgeon and Ruth HuSsey. Thrills in the air and tense drama on earth mingle in this spectac- ular motion picture which opens 8 four day engagement tomorrow at the popular Loew Poli theater. It is the biggest holiday show in town, positively topping everything in en- tertainment history.
 Flight Command" is the romance of Q Pensacola air cadet who goes through 8 baptism of fire with a crack naval squadron at North Island. Amid the thrills runs a story of friendships, a misunder- standing that threatens his career, and the intense loyalty of a group of daredevil flyers who laugh in the face of peril.
 Taylor as Alan Drake, the cadet, is forceful and compelling as an actor, and Walter Pidgeon handles the role of the squadron comman- der skillfully, with Ruth Hussey, as his wife, plumbs emotional depths. Frank Borzage gives the poignant emotional moments and the skillful direction that marked his Mortal Storm"
 Principals include Paul Kelly, Shepperd Strudwick, Nat Pendleton, Red Skelton, Dick Purcell and others.
 Power dives, battle practice, para chute jumps at sea, forced crash landings, rescues in the fog, Sensa- tional "dog fights" form crescendo of excitement to climax the comedy and human drama of the story.
 The second smash hit on the bill is Michael Shayne, Private Detec- tive" with Lloyd Nolan and Mar jorie Weaver.
 Attractions ending tonite at Loew's Poli include "The Long Voy- age Home" Behind the News" and the official ringside Louis-McCoy fight films.
 Celebrate New Years Eve by at- tending the gala midnight show at Loew's Poli, Tuesday nite, Decem- Der q. A double combination event of stage and screen has been booked in for your enjoyment.

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at the War ner Bros. State theater are Gap tain Caution" with Victor Mature, Louise Platt, Leo Carrfllo and a large cast; also Dick Powell and Ellen Drew in Christmas in July"
 Thrills, color, action and excite ment will be the highlights of the gala Christmas show opening at the State tomorrow when the new &C., tion-epic Santa Fe Trail' arrives at that theater with Errol Flynn and Oliva de Havilland in the CO., starring leads.
 Besides Flynn and Miss de Havil- land the picture boasts 8 big name cast and is said to top events, the thrills of Charge of the Light Brigade" and Dodge City.
 The picture concerns itself with the stirring story of the era just preceding the Civil War, when Jeb Stuart and General Custer, newly graduated from West Point began the military careers which have made them two of the most colorful and heroic figures in American his- tory.
 Ipterwoven with their story is that of John Brown, Gods Angry Man." as he has been called, who sought to right the wrong of slav- cry by bloodshed and riot.
 It is seldom that a film so re- plete with action finds time to paint up the excellence of its act- ing as well as Santa Fe Trail". Flynn in the role of Jeb Stuart is superbly the master of all the sit nations in which he becomes in- volved, and decidedly believable in the role of the famous cavalry commander. Raymond Massey, whose stage and screen portrayals of Lincoln will be long remembered, is brilliantly cast as John Brown, fanatic zealot, fearful and fright ening as he demands "an eye for an eye" As Custer, Ronald Reagan, who made screen history with por- trayal of George Gipp in "Knute self to be one of the screens best young actors. Oliva de Havilland takes the part of feminine ''Kit Carson" and plays the romantic lead opposite Flynn.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present "She Couldn't Say No'', gay delightful comedy, as the second big holiday hit. The film is a lively melee that mixes romance with legal intrigue and breach-of-promise suits and stars Roger Pryor, Eve Arden and Cliff Edwards.
 Make your plans now to attend the States New Years Eve show. Jack Benny and Fred Allen, famous stage, screen and radi stars in Love Ty Neighbor" will top the
