ROBINSON STARS
 IN STRAND FILM
"A Dispatch From Reu= ter's" Opens Sunday for
 3=Day Run

Ending tomorrow evening at the popular Warner Bros. Strand the ater is ''The Letter" starring Bette Davis with Herbert Marshall and James Stephenson; also Grace Mo- Donald and a large cast in Dane ing on Dime."
 A new kind of screen thrill is promised Strand patrons when Edward G. Robinson's latest and greatest picture "A Dispatch From Reuters arrives at that theater on Sunday for an engagement of three days.
 Dedicated to the Fourth Estate, the film dramatizes the life story of the founder of the first world wide news service.
 From boyhood, Julius Reuter- was obsessed by the desire ito make the world little smaller" through a more rapid circulation of vital news.
 Dauntless courage and inconquer- able optimism speeded him to this goal. As Reuter-, Edward G. Rob- inson presents brilliantly etched portrait in an outstanding perfor- nance that is said to rival that which he gave as Dr. Erlich".
 Robinson is supported by uni formly excellent cast. There is Ed die Albert, whose insouciant charm in the role of Reuters associate injects a bright note of gayety into the story. There is Albert Basser- man, 70-year-old refugee actor, whose fine work in American pie lures has brought him overnight fame. There is Edna Best to lend charm and beauty to the role of Mrs. Reuter-. Gene Lockhart is also prominent in the cast and contrib utes one of his nose realistic jobs as a conniving banker.
 All in all, if you want to see a picture as exciting as your latest news bulletin we advise you to see "A Dispatch From Reuters" at the Strand starting Sunday.
 Co-featuring the program is a gay tale of night life in Hollywood, "A Night At Earl Carols" featur- ing a star-studded cast which in cludes Ken Murray, Rose Hobart, Brenda and Cobina of radio fame, Earl Carroll, himself, Lillian Cor nell. J. Carroll Naish, Lela Moore, Jack Norton mad many others-plus a hundred of the most beautiful girls in the world.
 Coming to the Strand on Wednes- day is Tin Pan Alley" the film ! that is alive with romance, laughter, memories and melodies of the unbe- lievable street that makes the nation sing.

with the accent of his native Ger many. Knowing this, it was doub- ly distressing to me that in most cases the films available to them were simply old feature pictures scaled down to 16-millimeter size after they had played for five or six years in movie houses all over the country"
 Pollak long had thought of the possibility of filming plays because the theater as presently constituted in New York is the expression of art at its highest" And when he saw Maxwell Anderson's Journey to Je- rusalem" on Broadway last year, "an impulse" made him approach the author.
 T was heartbroken that such a beautiful play would not go to the public. The world is richer for the records of Caruso and poorer for having none of Sarah Bernhardt." This is what Pollak told Anderson.

who agreed to having his play film ed.
 Because of lighting problems, it was unsuitable to film the play right in the theater; so it was moved casts, sets, and alto a newsreel studio here. Four cameras worked for a week to make the picture.
 The film, now ready for release, is completely faithful to stage tech nique. ..-.-
 "It's even an improvement on the play" Pollak says, enthusiastically Everyone can see the actors, never missing a word or an expression"
 It's too soon to tell how this idea. with such important implications for the spreading influence of the the ater, will fare.

HARRY JAMES AT
 JACQUESSUNDAY
Four Shows Planned Cut Prices Offered at Early
 Bird Program

Four shows, featuring Harry James and his celebrated orchestra and eight acts of big time vaudville, will be offered at Jacques Theater next Sunday, January 12, beginning with an early bird show at 1:15 o'clock at which seats will be on sale for the lowest possible price.
 The same promoters which held these swingsation shows at Buck ingham Hall, the last eight Sundays will be in charge of the Jacques Theater shows each Sunday here after. They are moving to the thea ter where the seats will be more comfortable for the patrons.
 The last show each Sunday eve ming will start at 8:30 o'clock and will be the only one calling for res erved seats. Seats will not be res- erved for any of the other three shows.
 James, who gained nationwide fame as a member of Benny Good mans brass section, is considered tops among the newer swing orches- tras, and definitely slated for a high spot in the annals of music's hall of rame.
 Harry, considered by many to be the only trumpet player capable of filling the late "Bix" Bierderbecke's shoes (considered to be the worlds greatest trumpeter), has had trem- endous success in the short while he's been leading his own orchestra. Among the outstanding engagements of the James crew have been Rose land Ballroom, New York; Worlds Fair. New York: Brunswick Hotel.

KAY KYSER TOPS
 LOEW'S POLL BILL
''You'll Find Out" Starts Tomorrow; Inauguration
 Films Added Attraction

Mystery to the crash of symbols, SpookS to the boom-boom of drums, murder to the tootle of trumpets! That's melodrama la Kay Kyser, his band and the College of Musical Knowledge.
 That's You'll Find Out" and the title is threat, a promise and an answer. The picture opens tomor- row at the popular Loew Poli thea ter for an engagement of four days.
 Kay Kyser proves that he belongs as much to the screen as he does to the air waves. The combination of his rare and lovable personality, his hom-Spun wit that borders on the wacky, and his talents for dir ecting a musical organization and creating program of blend of melody and mirth, put him in the enviable spot of being without com- petition. Kay KySer initiates no one, and his originality cannot be cop jed.
 The picture is exactly the musi- cal-mystery-mirth melange requir- ed to display Kyser and his organi- zation at their. best. The result is also picture so fast, fresh, furious and funny that it is hard to tell whether audiences will be laughing or shrieking, but it is to foretell that thye will all be having a grand and boisterouS time.
 The picture starts with Kay Kyser finishing College of Musical Knowledge broadcast, but the story starts when the band accepts an Parrish's debutante party. It is held in the ancestral Bellacrest home, a gloomy old mansion surrounded by a moat and filled with queer ar chaeological collection.

SKY Writing no Job For
Novice, Pilot Declares

Kansas City, Mo. June 4-UP-
No doubt there are young men
with high ambition who yearn to
soar in the sky and write silvery
messages across the vast blue
signboard, like the sky-writer.
But, boys. II isn't easy" says
Joe Jacobson, Kansas City sky
writer, who has practiced his plane
manship over many a big city.

hour, $4,000 feet above the ground,
and keep your eyes on compass,
wrist watch and altimeter all at

The sky-writer seldom sees his
WORK. He flies by a chart, and
counts seconds to determine the
length OF the smoke stream. The
smoke is caused by a chemically
treated paraffin base oil which, is
injected into the manifold and re-
leased through the exhaust by a
lever in the cockpit.
Sky-writing is copyrighted by
British interests and controlled in

to the patent holders for every ad-
vertisement written in the sky.
Jacobson is the filler who wrote
the only love message ever to be
hung in the sky. 1t said, "Wiggie
loves Helen" and it served to put
across the idea when letters, phone
calls, and other more conventional
modes OF communication had failed.
