Attractions concluding their en- agreements. thls evening to Warmers State theater are: Topper Returns" with Joan Blondell, Roland Young and Billie Burke; also Convoy with Give Brook,
 Reaching for the sum-" Para mounts newest contribution to screen rlaerriment, opens ct the State tomorrow as the headlfner of the fine twin bill. You won't have to reach for laughs when you see this film, for the laughs are SO vital and hearty they just leap right out at you.
 The picture stars Joel McCrea and Ellen Drew, and features In It's ex- cellent cast such comedy notables as Eddie Brackep, Albert Dekker and Billy Gilbert. It is Q lusty, mus cular comedy, whose background mostly is a roaring Detroit automo. bile plant going full tile.
 The story concerns Q clam digger who leaves his native Michigan woods for the Detroit automobile factories In order to make enough money to buy an outboard motor. The motor Is an obsession almost with him, for with 1t he hopes to be able to dig more clans and so make more money. Joel McCrea plays this role. Ellen Drew Is the girl he marries. who becomes jeal- ous of her husbands love for the outboard motor and his constant yearning to return to the woods.
 Much of the talk concerning this gay comedy, paradoxically, is about the thrilling scene in which two monster machines in an auto fac- tory battle each other, with Joel McCrea and Albert Dekker at the controls of each.
 And on the same big show Is the timely and thrilling drama Pow CT Dive" with Richard Arlen, love- ly Jean Parker, Don Castle, Roger Pryor, Helen Mack, cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, Louis Jean Heydt and the little wonder boy, Billy Lee, all of whom give brilliant performances in this fast-moving, sky shows spec- tacle.

Record-Setting Play Ends Broadway Run After Seven Years
BY TOM WOLF
EA Service staff Correspondent

NEA Service StaW correspondent
 New York, May 24.-The oldest landmark on Broadway, the boule- yard of brevity, is coming down. "Tobacco Road Is closing.
 The epitaph over its battered re- mains, inferred in Walton's Store- house, will read: Here lies the the- ater's all-time endurance king, Born Dec. {, 1883. Died May 3l, l94l. Act: 3l80 Broadway performances. ("Abie's Irish Rose" previous mara thon champ, played but Q paltry 2327 performances.)
 WAS TANNED BY CRITICS
 Prohibition was still the law Of the land in that half-for-gotten era when Scenarist Jack Kirkland brought to Broadway his adaptation of Erskine Caldwwell's ultra-realis- tic tale of sordid life among the Georgia sharecroppers. America was "doing It's part" under the wildly Tapping wings of the NRA Blue Eagle. Won Eindenburg was presi- dent of Germany. John Dillinger was still at large. So was the un- known kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby. The Dionnes were Just Q poor French Canadian family.
 The critics banned the show un- mercifully It limped along for seven weeks, seemingly destined for ob- llvion. Then a New ork newspaper ran an editorial, "robacco Road An Important Play" which called it grand entertainment" The rest is history.
