STATE

Packed with the same emotional dramatic clements which made the original novel so popular, the pie turizat!on of Fannie Hurst's Back Street" starring Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan opened a four day engagement at Warmers State Theater this afternoon.
 According to reports this produc- ton has not sighted any of the sensational drama of the novel. In picture form 1t contains every one of the tense dramatic situations, emotional climaxes and vivid char acterizations which lifted the novel, when published, into six figure sales literally overnight.
 No better choice than Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan for the roles of Ray Smith and Walter Saxel could have been made. Skilled, convincing, competent in their ham ding of the delicate.y shaded sit- nations, powerful in their emotional scenes, MT. Boyer and Miss Sullavan deliver performances which are among the mott excellent ever pres ented to the American public.
 Back Street" tells the story of a girl who is content to live in the shadowy back streets of a great mans life, sacrificing to help him in his career, suffering from lonli- ness which is her lot while he is busy with family and business af- fairs.
 The supporting cast was excep- tionally well chosen. Frank McHugh Tim Holt, Samuel s. Kinds, Frank Jenks, Peggy Stewart and Nell ODay have pivotal roles and each seems inspired by the opportunity to perform in the picture.
 On the same big show is the greatest and grandest of all the Blondie pictures "Blondie Goes Latin" starring Penny Singleton as Blondie, Arthur Lake as Dagwood and Larry Sims as Baby Dumping. Featured in the cast is Ruth Terry star of radio, stage and screen.
 Put this show on your must" list and be sure to see 1t at the State theater before closing per- formances Saturday evening. Regu- lar State prices preyial as usual.

covered that some types of mental disease which were considered hope- less 30 years ago have now become curable. First of these was general paralysis of the insane-paresis, or syphilitic softening of the brain. Before cure was found the pare ties mental condition invariably became steadily worse. and he seld- dom lived more than five years after the mental symptoms ap- peared.
 As long as IS years ago, Dr. Pol- lock saw a great decline in the mortality from paresis; it was no longer fatal disease. Tn addition, a large proportion of those afflict- ed with 1t are now being restored mentally so they can return to their families and work.
 More recently, he discovered that another mental disorder-one that occurs the most frequently-is also on the verge of being conquered. This is dementia praecox, or schizo- phrenia.
 This disorder used to be respon. sible for about one-fourth of the new cases of insanity and for more than one-half of the patients in mental hospitals. It is only in the last half dozen years that Dr. Pol locks records have revealed a sub- stantial number of recoveries from this once incurable affection.
 Recently he has round that some forms of mental disease appear to be on the increase, but he does not look upon this as sr;:ous, or as indicating that the country is gradually going crazy. The increas- es, he finds, are chiefly in mental diseases due to old ago. and these are due to the increased number of older persons in the population.
 Dr. Pollock has found no grounds for the popular theory that women in general tend to develop mental disorders more readily than men. In fact, the rates are somewhat higher among men.
 He also finds that some time or other during his life, one person out of every 20 is taken to a spe- cial hospital for treatment of a mental breakdown. Encouragingly, 50 out of every hundred of those taken to a mental hospital man. age to improve enough to return to their families as improved or cured. Thirty years ago, not nearly as many returned home. ..,.

STRAND

One of the most colorful and ex- offered the patrons of the popular Warner Bros. Strand Theater this afternoon where Alexander Korda' s new all-technicolor production, "The Thief of Bagdad" opened a four day engagement.
 The picture is truly masterpiece. It's eye-filling wonder, thrilling plot, preath-taking magic and the over whelming beauty of it's color photo graphy make it the outstanding motion picture spectacle of the year.
 A cast of thousands headed by Sabu. of Elephant Boy" and Drums; June Duprez, last seen in Four Feathers" John Justin and Conrad Veidt are presented in this new film with all the magnif- icence of Arabian Nights entertain- ment.
 Against co!orful backgrounds the gripping tale of ancient Bagdad un- folds. The story concerns the TO- nance between the young Prince of Bagdad and the lovely princess of Bastra and obstacles and fantas- tic adventures that befall them be- fore he wins her.
 The Magician Jaffar, willy Vizier of Bagdad, desires the princess for himself and pits his evil powers against the Prince and his chance made companion. the little thief of Bagdad. This conflict results in fast-noving situations which speed the film to a smash climax.
 "Michaei sliayne. Private Detect i've" featuring Lloyd Nolan and Lyn Bari Is the co-feature Of the pro- gram.

Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mime. c. J. Walkers Glossine.
although more than thirty-fve
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only

Webster defines Individuality
as that quality which distinguishes
one person from another. If you
were to stand on a corner before a
theatre or a church, and watch the
great numbers of people coming out,
you would be amazed at the dis
similarity of faces-so very many
faces and yet all different, one from
the other. 1t Is Individuality
which makes you you" and me
me-
Sometimes it helps actively to
contribute to that quality which
says that you are Dorothy and Mary
Is Mary, by a little exterior embei-
lishment. We see it being done
every day-and it is so simply ac-
eomplished that | wonder we didn't
think of 1t before this.
For instance, take a group of high
school girls. Probably they are all
dressed in sweaters and skirts
some wear blouses instead of sweat
ars. However, all in all, there
seems to be quite a uniformity about
them. But, beyond dress, that
similarity ceases. How? Look for
yourself and you'll soon determine
sne of the chief reasons.
I think 1t lies in their hair fash
ions. One may be Il long bOb-one
1 very short. Some girls affect
curls others like their hair straight
md severe.

adds distinction to classic features.
However, beware of this type of
hairdress If your face is round.
Curls punched loosely around the
face lend softness to 1t, and add a
prettiness that isn't often obtained
by any other means.
If your neck is long, try wearing
your hair in a long bob, or In a
mass of curls hanging low. You'll
like the way this hairdress has a
tendency to shorten the line of your
throat. On the other hand, IL your
neckline is short, piling your curls
on top your head will make you look
taller and take away from the short
neck, dumpy look.
Experiment with your own hair,
and you'll oon find the style which
makes you yourself"
To make your hair fashion the
delight of your life and the envy of
your associates, be sure that your
hair Is kept clean. Stimulate its
natural beauty with regular stiff
brushing. If you are disappointed
in its appearance because it seems
to be turning one color or another,
apply an accredited hair coloring
SO that it will be uniformly lovely.

inherent attractiveness. What bet
