dramatically when the unmarried friend breaks up an affair between his former sweetheart's husband and an .adventuress.
 Through this story run scenes of roaring gushers, flaming oil fires whiffed out with TINT, blistering fist fights, a head-first dive into a street of mud to escape a rain of bullets, the hero on a bucking mule, a thrilling hold-up, a scrap between two dance hall girls and thousands of other fast-action sequences.
 Completing this entertaining pro- gram is a thrilling production "Pier 13" with Lloyd Nolan in the lead and Lynn Bari in the feminine lead.
 Plan now to see this swell show before the closing performances Saturday night.
 And then on Sunday the Strand will present Ronald Colman and Ginger Rogers in Lucky Partners" as the headliner, while Mystery Sea Raider" with Carole Dandie and Henry Wilcoxon will be the co-fea- ture.

ITO BROADCAST
 SMITHS SPEECH
Speech Before N. E. COun- Gil to Be Heard Over Two
 Stations Tonight

Congressman J. Joseph Smith,s widely accaimed speech on 'NeW England's Place in National Defense delivered in Washington, May 1, al a meeting of the New England Council will be re-broadcast by transcription tonight from the two local stations. Station VERY will carry the address at 6:15 D. m and WATR will broadcast it at 7:45 p. m.
 At the time the speech was de- hvered, before the blitzkrieg of the low countries, the Hartford Courant commented that it was "the most outspoken criticism of United States defense Washington has heard in a long time from a member of the Military Affairs Committee.
 Col. Louis Johnson, then Assist ant Secretary of War congratulated Congressman Smith on the speech and said it was "a very substantial contribution to the cause of sound national defense" The Hartford Times saw fit to print the com plete text of the speech and pro- vide special copies for distribution to persons interested in national defense.
 As 8 member of the Military Af- fairs Committee since 1895, Con- gressman Smith has maintained an active interest in national defense and has sponsored a number of measures which are of great im- portance in the present defense program.
 The timeliness and accuracy of Congressman Smiths speech are what make it of special importance at this time.

STRAND

Capacity attendance at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand theateI yesterday marked the opening per- formsnces of Boom Town star studded thriller which boasts such personalities as Clark Gable, Spen- cer Tracy, Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamar in the co-starring leads.
 Featured with these great stars are other favorites such as Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, Chill Wills, Marion Martin and Minna Gombell.
 Boom Town" is 8 cavalcade of oildom as "Test Pilot" covered the dramatic story of testing thrills in the skies. It is dramatic story of two friends who carry on through reversals anG successes even when one marries the sweetheart of the other. The friendship breaks dra- matically and is renewed just as

at g. time like this the world needed his great comic talents anc finally he got up Boys and Girls Together" of which he is writer and producer as well as star. The critics greeted his return with some of the most laudatory re- views in recent years, and he and Jolson seem to be placed for al least a year. Like Jolson, who put up $90,000 for his show, Wynn also backed himself with close to $1O0,000.
 Miss Tucker, still the "last oi the Red Hot Mammas," although she is in her sos, was persuaded to appear at the Riviera night club by owner Ben Warden with Harry Richman and Joe E. Lewis as co-stars. Both men are veteran entertainers, yet Miss Tucker broke both of them into show busi- ness more years ago, as she said than she cares to remember, and she had always wanted to be on the stage with both at one time.
 These are by no means the en- tire list. One of the most suc- cessful night club shows in town Billy Roses Diamond Horseshoe has been reaping rich harvest on the nostalgia gold mine i nsuch names as Julian Tltinge, female impersonator; Pat Rooney, Gilda Gray, the shimmy queen and Blanche Ring whose ages ag- gregate well over 200 years.
 If youth is getting served, it's the veterans who are getting Sec- ond helpings-and big ones, too.

STATE

Capacity attendance at the War ner Bros. State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the hilarious comedy ~Hired Wife" co-starring RoSalind Russell, Brian Aherne and Virginia Bruce with a bit: cast of funsters.
 The film is fast moving comedy of the type which depends on situa- tions rather than gags for laughs and has been hailed by critics as one of the years most hilarious pictures.
 It is the grandest, gayest show you'll ever see and presents Miss Russell in the best role of her en- tire career. She turns in splendid performance a. Aherne's secretary and is also very much in love with him.
 Aherne, at the same time, is en- amored over Miss Bruce, a beautiful model. For business reasons he is forced to get married in 8 hurry and because of Rosalind's trickery, he can't reach Virginia and has to marry the secretary,
 And then the fun starts with all three stars turning in performances of note making their characters ap- pear real, rather than mere shad- ows prancing across the screen.
 Miss Russell, Aherne and Miss Bruce are given excellent support by a strong cast composed of Robert Benchley and John Carroll, Hobart Cavanaugh, William Davidson, Richard Lane and Charles Smith.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents thrill packed drama entitled Diamond Frontier" starring Victor McLaglen with John Loder, Anne Nagel and Philip Dorn.
 Be sure to see this swell show at the State before, the closing per- formances Saturday evening. And then starting Sunday the State will u5her in 8 double smash bill with Rangers of Fortune" star ring Fred MacMurray, Patricia Morrison and Albert Dekker as the headliner and Joan Blondell and Dick Powell in q Want a Divorce" as the second hit.

Wynn and Jolson are starring in their own musical shows, Miss Tucker is the star of night club revue, Cantor is on the radio and has just signed a contract to do a stage musical this fall. He went to the Jolson show and when he came out his pop-eyes were wet with tears and he told his agent: T can't stay away any longer it's where I belong"
 Wynn has been 8 star for 38 years. Jolson for at least as long. Behind their return lies less the yearning for audience adulation, the "eight o'clock itch"-pre-cur- tain excitement = then there is a story of two men of maturity who married girl far younger and when the marriages broke up turned to the only solace they knew-the stage.
 Jolson Romance Failed
 Jolson's story is perhaps the better known. He married Ruby Keeler of the films who is almost 39 years his junior and for ten years they were happy. Then they drifted apart. Some say Jolson financed his show, Hold On To Your Hats," with the plan of giv- ing Ruby 8 role and thus effecting reconciliation before, so to speak, the footlights. Ruby accepted the dancing lead, but she gave her notice during the road tour prior to the Broadway opening. Jolson always a great trouper, masked his dejection and scored a per- sonal triumph on the formal open ing night.
 Wynn married Frieda Mierse, beauty contest winner, about 25 years his junior. When their mar riage folndered he retired to his apartment and for two years sat listlessly 1n pajamas, refusing to put on his clothes or go out to the street. Alarmed at his loss of weight and lack of interest in lv- ing, his friends banded together and conducted a campaign de- signed to get him back on the stage.

BrickldYers Urged To Adopt
Shorter Work Day Slogan

Cleveland, o. (OLNS).-"Employ-
ment for our members, shorter work
day, better and safer working condi-
tions" was the slogan suggested fol
1910 to Local Unions affiliated with
the Ohio State Conference of Brick
layers Unions last week by John w
Jockel, secretary-treasurer of the or
ganization.
A general letter requesting the Lo-
Gals to send in wage rates and pro-
posals and outlining the program for
the new year of the Conference was
sent each Local Union.
Secretary Jockel reported that the
construction outlook for 1910 was
"fair," but warned that the building
unions would have to look to private
industry for construction work unless
Congress votes continuance and addi-
tional appropriations for PWA.
He urged all Unions and individual
members to write their United States
Senators and Representative request
ing them to support a permanent
PWA program and to provide addi-
tional funds for the Federal Housing
Authority.
