PoLI'S

With those top-notch performers, Clark Gable and Rosalind Russell this romantic action drama lavishly in '"rhey Met In Bombay" producted with a colorful Oriental background, which is currently show ing at the Loew Peli Theater, packs an entertainment punch of unusual appeal.
 Gable is in two-fisted glory in a vital story which gives ample rein to his characteristic talents, while Miss Russell is wholly captivating as 8 smartly dressed adventures whose brittle exterior wits into sentimental adoration when she discovers that Gable is more than her match. The play is keeply divised to present both stars in roles and surroundings unlike anything heretofore employed.
 That they succeed so signally is responsible for as diverting 8 bill of theater fare as has been on dis play for some time. This is largely due to the talented performances, though this by no means belittles the extraordinary effort put forth to mount the piece extravagantly, factor which reflect distinct credit on Hunt Stromberg, producer for Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, and director Clarence Brown.
 The ably plotted screen play has Gable and Miss Russell, an aniiable pair of rogues going through their dramatic paces in an exciting series of tiffs with the law. Tn Bombay they make off with a fortune in dia- monds. They hop freighter, run harbor gauntlet to escape to Hong Kong, then find the police still hot on the trail. The plot builds to noble finish, however with redemp- tion theme skillfully developed. This is cued into the plot through the pairs involvement in 8 we'll timed i flare-up of Chinese-Japanese hos 1 tilities, which is realistically screened
 The second smash hit on the pro- gram is The Great Swindle" with Jack Holt and Marjorie Reynolds.
 Tomorrow night Movie Quiz will be played at Loew's Poli and cash awards totalling $100 will be given away to winning members of the audiance. Be sure to be here and participate in this new game of skill.
 Thursday evening, another in the preliminary contests to select Miss Waterbury of 1941, will be held on our stage, with the grand finals to be held on Thursday evening, July 18th. Beautiful and valuable prizes are being donated by the Kay Jew- elry company.

 Spencer Tracy proves his right to his place as a two-time Academy Award winner with his portrayal of that favorite of fiction, "Dr. Jekeyll and MT. Hyde opening four day engagement at Warmers Strand theater tomorrow.
 Sharing hor CTS with the star in the picture are Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner. Surprise of the production is the casting against type of the two leading ladies. Con- trary to expectations Lana Turrer is the sedate Beatrix Emery, and Ingrid Bergman, the little barroom entertainer, Ivy Peterson. According to reports both prove their versatility in the unusual roles. One of the highlights of the drama is Miss Bergman singing You Should See Me Dance the Polka" to the be- fuddled MT. Hyde. Miss Turner, in her best role to date, proves herself a front-rank performer.
 However, it is Tracy's performance which dominates the film. Admirable in his restraint, Tracy resorts to no gargantuan makeup to denote his

worry about who was helping to defeat him."
 Upon our American production falls the colossal task of equip ping our own armed forces, and helping to supply the British, the Russians and the Chinese. In the performance of that task we dare not fail and we will not fail.
 It has not been easy for us Americans to adjust ourselves to the shocking realities of a world in which the principles of com mon humanity and common de- cency are being moved down by the firing squads of the Gestapo. We have enjoyed many of Gods blessings. We have lived in a broad and abundant land and by our industry and productivity we have made it flourish.
 There are those who say that our great good fortune has be- trayed us, that we are now no match for the regimented masses who have been trained in the Spartan ways of ruthless brutal ity. They say that we have grown fat and flabby and lazy and that we are doomed.
 But those who say that know nothing of America or of Ameri- can life.
 They do not know that this land is great because it Is land Of endless challenge. Our country was first populated, and it has been steadily developed, by men and women in whom there burned the spirit of adventure and rest lessness and individual independ- ence which will not tolerate op- pression.
 Greatest Challenge
 Ours has been a story of vigor- ous challenges which have been accepted and overcome, chal- lenges of uncharted seas, of wild forests and desert plains, of rag ing floods and whitening drought, of foreign tyrants and domestic strife, of staggering problems, social, economic and physical; and we have come out of them the most powerful nation, and the freest, in all of history.
 Today, in the face of this new est and greatest challenge, we Americans have cleared our decks and taken our battle stations. We stand ready in the defense of our nation and the faith of our fa- thers to do what God has given us the power to see as our full duty.
