When speaking of her hobbies reminded of the
fact that il womans right change her mind Esther
has several automobiles horses and roller skates,
but because they all under the classification of trans

is going if she knows
The rugged winters of Minnesota and Montana
with their long wooden underwear have lost all charm
Esther and il is reasonable expect her to do her

had audiences rolling in the aisles. The picture hinges on the whims of an eccentrc millionaire who sells vitamized foods, his impecunious nephew and an equally impecunious dance band which practices its tunes atop a boarding house roof.
 Charles Winninger, who heads the supporting cast, portrays the uncle, Jimmy, in another prize winning role, is the impractical proprietor of a small-town music shop who lives in the rear room of his store, barely furnished room with a cot, a gas- plate and 8 sink hung on brackets.
 Miss Goddard meets Stewart when he gets mixed up with the band and its troubles. Their romance causes a merry mix-up for all concerned and provides a raft of fun and melody.
 All in all Pot O'Gold" is a pie ture that rates as top-fiight hit, which will entertain audiences of all kinds and all ages from the first shot to the final fadeout. See 1t at the State tomorrow.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present "The Round Up" with Richard Dix Patricia Morrison and Preston Foster
 Don't forget the big show coming to the State next week. "Penny Serenade" is the title of the picture and its co-stars are none other than Irene Dunne and Cary Grant.
