STATE

The story of one woman's ruth less ambition and the effect 1t had on those around her was unreeled today at Warmers State Theater when the sensational drama "The Little Foxes" opened its engagement with Bette Davis in the leading role.
 This fine motion picture, faithful ly transcribed to the screen from the Broadway success of Lillian Hel- mann, Is one picture that belongs right up on top of your must" list,
 Tn the leading role of Regina diddenS, the beautiful and heart- less wife of a Southern banker, Bet te Davis gives one of the best per- formances in her career, bringing to her portrayal Of the Dixie vixen once more the assurance and conviction that has made her the first lady of the screen. Tn "The Little Foxes" she is ably supported by Herbert Marshall who plays her husband, Charles Dingle, Carl Banton Reid, Patricia Collinge, Richard Carlson, and Teresa Wright, newcomer to the films who seems definitely head cd for brilliant career.
 "The Little Foxes" takes place In 0 small southern town around the turn of the century, when the new industrial era was beginning to crowd out the stately mansions and plantations of the old South. Regina diddens, obsessed with the ambition of acquiring wealth, no matter ct whose expense, learns from her

own tastes, I then make Q number of rough sketches. These are sent to the producers office, and when the budget meeting on the picture comes up, am told how much I can spend. l then have sketches made up by my artist, get together groups of fabrics. and ask the star to come to my office. It's important that an actress be pleased with her dresses, SO I give her first choice on materials. The director, producer and cameraman then look at the fabrice and sketches and then we start the dress in work.
 WAISTLINE TROUBLE
 Upstairs in the RKO wardrobe building are the sewing, cutting and fitting rooms. We take the most ex- acting measurements and as q play CT gains or loses Q few pounds, her worlroom figure is adjusted.
 We have women who sew on the machines, who cut materials, who embroider, do fine handwork, and some who do fittings. After the dress is cut and draped on the AAAUfG NAAtA bAttoNGA t9BGtAANtl aAtNAlS whatever changes I want, and 1t is roughly put together for the first fitting.
 Marie, my favorIte filter, and I meet the star in the dressing room and between the three of us the dress begins to take shape. It then goes back to the sewing room and on the figure, and Marie ex- plains to the wcmen just what IS necessary to be done. We are lucky If we can have ony two fittings. Usually there are more.
 After the final fittings, cos. tunes are given Q screen test while worn by the star or her stand-in to be sure that on film they will show the contrast or richness or whatever effects we

When he refuses, and Regina decides to take matters into her own hands, the drama builds up through e series of suspenseful scenes to c shattering climax which deserves to rank with the great sec quences In the history of motion pictures. Of special note is the eX- cellent work of young Teresa Wright in the sympathetic role of Miss Da- vis' daughter.

 Aging from an impetuous youth of twenty to Q disillusioned man of seventy Is c difiieult task for any actor, but Aherne's interpretation of Sir John Carteret aptly demon- strates his status as Q star of the first rank. Raymond Is impressive in the dual roles of Jeremy and Kenneth Wayne and his love scenes opposite Miss Macdonald are n. tensely stirring.
 Heading the featured cast Is Ian Hunter, who also has the arduous and challenging task of aging fifty years. As usual, this fine actor turns in c sterling performance. Others in the cast Include Frances Robin son, Patrick OMoore, making his American screen debut and seven- year-old Jackie Horner.

Jones was invited to represent Yale ct John Shepard's annual dinner to New England's Unsung Heroes which will Do broad- cast tomorrow night via WATR at s.l5, His claim to the distinction lies in the fact that he missed out on his "Y" after three years varsity service with Yale when he was in- ducted just one week before he could win the coveted emblem in the Yale-Harvard game. Imagine the private's disappointment when he learned that he was to leave Fort Devens at noon yesterday for Camp Lee, Virginia, His downheartedness was short lived, however, for no less a parsonage than the First Corps Areas commanding ofiicer, MaJor General Francis B, Wilhy, himself, went to bat for Private Jones and the wires between Fort Devens and headquarters glowed hot as orders for 6 delay of transfer for Private Jones burned the wires. upShot of the blitS: not only will the private join his neighhor unSung heroes to- morrow night, but Army officials insist on delivering him to the door in . jeep carl

the Israelites were freed could
they behold the idea of God. Slaves
cannot see God nor hear him with
the sound of the whip in their ears
and with slashes across their bod
les. It was Moses, who returning
from the wilderness and guided
by the noblest of motives and di-
vine zeal, brought his suffering
people a new idea and the hope
of a promised land.
AS a free people Moses led the
Israelites from Egypt to Mount
Sinai, close to the place where
he himself had the great vision
and heard the divine command to
return to Egypt and free his peO-
pie against the will of PharOah,
and even against the will of some
of his own brethren who preferred
slavery to freedom, a pot of meat
in servitude to flour and water,
the matzOh symbol of freedom in
it's early stages. 1t was divine
guidance that inspired him in
teaching his people the meaning
of liberty.
Moses led them across the Red
Sea, thus making their possible
return difficult. He knew human
