POLI'S

Due to the demands of thou sands of moviegoers, Andy Hardy Meets Debutante," will be held over at the Loew Poli theater, and in- stead of concluding its engagement this evening, will have an extended run of another three days, ending on Friday night. This is to accom- odate the crowds who haven't yet had a chance to see this smash hit, and those who want to see it a sec ond time, so great is the enjoyment to be found in this refreshing and entertaining film.
 In this hit, Judy Garland, sing ing sensation, is co-starred with Rooney, and this marks their first appearance together since their tri- umph in the musical Babes in Arms. In Andy Hardy Meets Debutante" positively the best and most hilarious of the entire series, Judy sings two new song numbers in the inimitable Garland manner.
 In this picture are all your Hardy Family favorites, namely Lewis Stone as Judge Hardy; Fay Holden as lovable Mother Hardy; Cecilia Parker as Marian; Sara Hadden as Aunt Milly; and Ann Rutherford as Polly Benedict, Andy's Carvel sweet heart.
 In the picture, Diana Lewis, M- G-M Starlet, has a brilliant role as the flashing debutante in the strap less evening gowns, and Andy finds

STATE

"An This, And Heaven Too" comes to a triumphant close this evening at the warner Bros. State theater where for the past week it has been playing to capacity at tendance at all performances. Bette Davis and Charles Boyer are co- starred. Included on u.e same show is Enemy Agent" with R.ch- arc Cromwell and Helen Vinson.
 Starting tomorrow the State will usher in another great summer show with the thrilling and TO- mantle film "Untamed," in techni- color, as the headliner.
 The exciting drama co-StarS Ray Midland and Patricia Morrison and Akim Tamiroff and is hailed as the mightiest action drama ever to burst from the screen.
 One of the noteworthy features of this particular picture is that 1t signalizes the ascent to stardom of glamorous Patricia Morrison, who here demonstrates conclusively that she possesses 8 fine dramatic talent.
 The film is based on the story 'Mantrap," written by the famous author, Sinclair Lewis and is back grounded against the splendor of the wild Canadian north woods and is done entirely in technicolor. It graphically visualizes the re- lentless battle of two men for the love of woman who has married a French Canadian guide and hunt CT, to later realize that life with her husband in tiny community far from the civilization which has constituted her entire previous en- vironment, has become intolerable.
 Midland will be seen in the role o1 young, personable and sophisti- cated society doctor recuperating

 The picture marks another ster- ling performance on the part of Spencer Tracy, in the title role. He again demonstrates the fact that he is one of Hollywood's leading actors.
 AS Thomas Edison, Tracy has a role that is said to fit him like glove. This is really true descrip- tion of Tracy's screen work, for it is difficult to remember role that Tracy hasn't made fit him whether it is the kindly Father Flanagan or the super-man Major Rogers.

Bill Mcdowell slipped a light left

Jayvee Boats Upset
Washington Also Takes
Rerun Junior Contest;
Cornell Frosh Score
BY BILL WHITE,

@aoSoSioucu SpOElS WTlt6T.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 10
1T couldn't have been screwier il
Joe Penner, Olson and johnson and
Joe Cook had teamed to stage it.
Usually decorous and very staid
affair, the 43rd annual Poughkeepsie
regatta became anything but that
yesterday, and the only thing in its
favor was the courageous perform
ance Of Washington in winning the
varsity race.
In the first place. the whole affair
which should last about three hours
TOOK over six and half. The first
time they tried to run the junior
varsity race, four of the six boats
sWamped. The second time they
ran 1t night had fallen over the ruff
fled Hudson and not one person in
thousand who came to view the
races ever saw the event.
Crowd Smallest in History.
The crowd was the smallest ever
veteran river men said, and the
haWkers were stuck with hundreds
OF programs, banners and pennants
in fact, everything but hot dogs
which were consumed rapidly as the
hungry hundreds along the shore
and on the observation train tried
to pass the long hours between the
races by eating.
The varsity race, scheduled for
the unusually early hour of 4 pm
E. S. To, finally got off in the
gathering dusk some three hours
later after the fate of the Javvees
had made it obvious that there
wasn't any use trying to stay on
schedule.
Washington won. for the third
time in the last five years, with a
performance that every one but
close students of the sport thought
was magnificent. Raw, red cour-
age was there, but rowing smooth
ness was not. Nevertheless the
Huskies, with the wind and tide
against them, negotiated the miles
IN 22:42 fiat, to wind up three
quarters of a length better than the
prlde of the East-a dogged Cornell
crew that battled every inch of
the way.
Navy in Fourth Place.
Syracuse, after leading for a mile
and half, beat out Navy for third
place in a final spurt. California
last years winner; Columbia, Wis
consln and Princeton trailed along
somewhere in the rear.
Both attempts of the jayvee race
were strictly ridiculous. The first
time. only three of the six boats
managed to last a mile and the
fourth went under shortly there
after, Cornell and Navy stayed
af1oat, strenuously protesting the
three shots that meant stop"
Long after the varsity race was
finished and everybody had gone
home, late stragglers saw some
ghostly shells going down the river
and reporters were able to ferret out
later that the junior race had been
run with Washington, Navy, Cali
fornia. Syracuse, Columbia and Cor
nell finishing in that order.
Cornell Freshmen in Van.
Practically no one saw the race
and how it could be timed, as the
winning boat was. in 1901 for 3
miles, always will remain a mystery.
In the freshman race, poorly
rowed, Cornell beat Princeton, Syra-
cuse and Columbia in the slow 2
mile time of 1851.

Hasson, Former Foe,
Giving Punch for
Chiefs Climb
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
When Manager Dick Porter
promised Syracuse fans punch
rather than pitching this season, he
obviously wasn't thinking of Gene
Hasson, but the former Montreal
first baseman may keep Dicks
promise for him.
Hasson came to the Chiefs May
"a after Gus Suhr took over the first
basing duties at Montreal. He has
been hitting at 300 clip or there
about for Syracuse and, what's more,
making his hits count. He has given
the whole club a "lift" that has
enabled the Chiefs to win Is of 80
games since he joined up and climb
from the cellar to sixth place in
the International League. That
hardly makes them pennant con-
tenders, but it's an improvement.
Latest example of Genes pound
ing prowess came last night in the
seventh inning of what started out
to be the first game of a double
header, but ended right there. With
