 The situations which have con. yulsed audiences all over the world have been brought to the screen faithfully. Tn addition, the irrepres- sible Benny has added several twists" of his own that add im- measurably to the enjoyment of the film. Swift and sure, the droll hu" nor of the master comedian tops every other screen comedy.
 Benny is fllnnier than ever before as "Charley's Aunt. His reputation as the man who can get the most laughs out of comedy lines and sit- uations is enhanced by his supern comedy performance.
 Kay Francis, as Donna Lucia, the real aunt, handles her role smootn- ly, and James Ellison Is excellens as Jack Chesney, the friend who needs help. Fine support is givers by Edmund Gwenn, Anne Baxter, Reginald owen, Arleen WhelaIl. Laird Cregar, Ernest Cossart, Rtch- ard Haydn and Morton Lowry.

POLI'S

The story of Britain's gallant fighters of the sky, 20th Century Fox's new hit. "A Tank in the R. A. F." Is the new attraction due to open on Friday at the poplilar\ Loew Poll theater.
 With Tyrone Power as the devil may-care flying Tank and Betty Grable as his sweetheart, 6 night club entertainer in London, this first film of the R. A. P. shows these flyers as real men who take heroisnl as part of their every-day job, and who look forward to their fun on the ground.
 Director Henry King used more than thousand players, workers and special effects men when he photographed the evacuation of Dunkirk. Actual combat films from the archives of the R. A. F. are also used. d .t
 The story follows Tyrone, an Am- erican flyer in Britain who joins the Rs A. F. to get some action. Bored by the instructions he must take and the routine of his duties, he does not get along well with his fellow pilots or his commanding officer, played by John Sutton. And his TO- nance with Betty Grable, the AIn- erican dancer in London, receives a setbock when Sutton proposes mar riage to her.
 Although this is Betty's most dra- matic role to date, she is featured in two musical numbers especially created for her.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Niagara Falls, streanl- lined comedy featuring Marjorie Woodworth, Tom Brown, Slim Sum- merville and comedienne zasu Pitts
 This complete double feature pro- gram will be shown at our Early Bird show for Defense Workers on Saturday morning. Doors of the theater open at 9:46 a. m. and the show starts promptly at i0:00.
 Current at Loew's Poll Is The Metro Goldwyn-Mayer smash hit "Honky Tonk" which co-stars for the first time together on the screen, handsome Clark Gable and lovely Lana Turner. With @ grand supporting cast headed by Frank Morgan, Chill Wills, Claire Trevor and Marjorie Main, "Honky- -Tonk" is one of the new seasons out standing triumphs! Don't miss 1t. On the same program Is Man At Large" story as timely as today's headlines. Marjorie Weaver and George Reeves head splendid cast of players
 Watch for "Smilin' Through" star ring Jeanette Macdonald, Brian Aherne and Gene Raymond, and filmed entirely in gorgeous color! It's coming to this theater real soon.

STATE

Due to the unparalled crowds that have been coming to Warmers State theater since Warner Bros dynamic new film, Sergeant York" opened there last week, the management has had to realiga the schedule so as to continue the run of the film four extra days.
 Besides a story packed with ex- citement, romance and pathoS Ser geant York" offers splendid cast Gary Cooper plays the title role- the easy-going, sharpshooting Alvin 0. York, who takes a while to think things out-but once he makes up his mind, there's no stopping him.
 Joan Leslie, the young starlet who gave such grand performance in other recent hits, is cast as a pretty, clever and slightly whimsical mour- tain girl with whom York falls in love and later marries. Walter Brennan, fresh from his role in Meet John Doe" is again cast with Cooper. He plays the part of Pas tor Pile, the one person who thor oughly understands York, his moods, his whims and his grievances. George Tobias, who has already es- tablished himself as fine character actor, plays the role of subway guard who is drafted and handles German Prisoners as he would carload of Bronx commuters. Stan ley Ridges plays the part of an Army officer who shows York that sometimes 1t is necessary to kill in order to go on living. In addition there is a large supporting cast of talented players, all of whom con- tribute to the authentic atmosphere of the film.
 All in all Sergeant York" is one picture you should see. Critics have called 1t one of the greatest Amer ican pictures of all time, and from all reports, the public agrees with them. Put 1t on your must list and be sure to see it at the State before the closing performances Saturday evening.
 Rounding out the program is a big surrounding show that is tops in en- tertainment
 Next in the States lineup of new season hits is the comedy romance New York Town" starring Fred MacMurray, Mary Martin who scor- ed so heavily in Kiss The Boys Goodbye, Robert Preston and Akin Tamaroff.

Shooting kept shattering the glass on the first shot. Director Irving Reis insisted that there must be three visible, closely-grouped bullet holes for a more sinister effect.
 Presently along came veteran prop man named Ed Tricke, who said he could fix il. He brought new pane of glass for the door and a big slab of dry ice. He held the chemical ice against the glass until a couple of seconds before the camera began turning again, then ducked out of sight. The shooting was technical success; powdery holes and radiating cracks appeared but the glass didn't fall out Of the door.
 TURKISH BATH ACT
 We got to talking about other tricks of the trade, and the dry ice reminded Trickle of a Turkish bath steam room installed for a recent picture. The steam, though, really was dry ice vapor-carbon dioxide. A couple of actors, sitting in 1t and shivering under their oily coatings of artificial precipitation, actually passed out for lack of oxygen.
 Among other clammy recollec- tons was the time that Trickle was stationed outside section of ships hull and hurled large buckets of water, each containing a fish, through a porthole and all over Ed gar Kennedy. The water was com" fortably tepid and the comics simu- lated gasp and exaggerated mug gings of surprise didn't please the director. So they did 1t until Trickle's tubs were empty. Then he filled his bucket from the tank in

which bottled soft drinks were kept cold. Thoughtfully removing the larger pieces of ice, he hurled the stuff on the linsuspecting Kennedy The actor really did some acting then, and fortunately he didn't cuss. His leap and s'hriek were the best part of the picture.
 BLANKS NO BLUFF
 The prop man, who has done quite a lot of work with explosives and guns, says 6 normally charged blank cartridge in @ revolver i' harmless at about six feet. There was one battle scene for which 500 rounds of special ammunition were ordered, with generous charges oi flash powder that would look good in some sequences at dusk.
 Trickle was uneasy about the stuff. The extras were armed and about to begin popping at each other when he borrowed gun and fired 1t in the direction of a box several paceS away. The director and actors turned a nale green as they stared at the gaping hole that appeared in the box. The violent flash powder, acting on the metal crimping at the end O. the cartridge had blown out a good sized hunk of the brass casing. There was nc war that day.
 I used to snicker at the sight oi tough cowpunchers and vicious des. peradoes blazing away at each other with six-shooters loaded with tai. cum powder.

justified that night conversation thusly. T merely tried to learn if she could throw any light on the crime"
 Well, could she?"
 It seemed that Miss Morris was too busy recalling her own anger at Herbert Cords attentions to her niece to think of why he had been killed or by whom. Not that blame her for feeling that way" Maudie hurried to add. she feels he took advantage of the child's gullibility and unsophistica- tion, and. of course, she feels this trick of his-this bringing his cur- rent flancee back to Paradise Lake is exactly what one would ex- pect of such 6 character"
 If she goes around spouting those sentiments she may find her- self added to the list of suspects" I told her. And so will you if you don't keep still. I haven't seen you shedding any tears over the death of this man"
 "You haven't either, so don't jump at conclusions. Anyway, I know she didn't do it."
 And I suppose by now you do know the guilty one" I said, com- pletely out of patience.
 T made no such statement, but I can have my suspicious"
 Suspicious can be dangerous when spoken aloud and I was upset more than I wanted her to know. After all, Maudie and I had found the body.
 I didn't want to be bothered with a lot of questions by police during what I had hoped to be a quiet, restful vacation. I didn't want to get in an argument with Maudie either. It was like hitting ones head against stone wall. for one never achieved results. If I walked down to the inn, perhaps I'd hear what the local gentry was saying and If I went for the mall 1t would n't give Maudie a chance to go down there and talk. I went to my
