STRAND

Attractions concluding their en. gagementS with performances to- morrow evening at Warmers Strand theater include "The Great Amer ican Broadcast" with Alice Faye, John Payne, Jack Oakie and Cesar Romero in starring leads; also "I'1l Wait For You" with Virginia Weidler and Robert Sterling.
 The thrilling story of the train- ing of Americas birdmen, told against the background of an ex- citing tale of adventure and 70. nance, will be on view at the Strand starting Wednesday when the sweeping epic of the air, T Wantde Wings opens a four-day engagement as the headliner of the giant bill.
 Starring Ray Midland, William Holden, Wayne Morris and Brian Donlevy, the film features in its impressive cast that sensational newcomer, Veronica Lake, and lovely Constance Moore.
 The new air drama promises to be probably this years most i'm. pO1tdLlt 44ul. NST tdlL1Iy 1lOI SLIGO Wings" which many Waterburians still remember vividly, has anoths CT aviation picture taken off from Hollywood with so much excited advance talk as T Wanted Wings" Nor has any previous picture had better opportunity for packing au- thentic air thrills into cellul0id.
 Made with the complete coopera. tion of the Army Air corps at Ran. dolph, Kelly and March Fields, the new film takes us through thG training of Americas air cadets, as it tells the personal stories of three aviation trainees and the women in their lives. The men who want wings are Midland, Holden and Morris, and the women, of course. are Veronica. Lake and Constance Moore.
 The second big hit of this pro- gram will be a hilarious comedy titled "The Great MT. Nobody" starring Eddie Albert.

If you intendt to see Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour in their latest laugh riot, Caught in the Draft" currently at the air-condi- toned State theater, you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening positively conclude its en- gagement. The second big hit of the program is 'West Point Widow" with Anne Shirley in the starring lead.
 wednesday the State ushers in another smash double bill which will be headlined by Shining Vic tory," a dramatic story by A. J. Cronin, author of 'The Citadel"
 Shining Victory" co-stars James Stephenson and Geraldine Fitz- gerald with supporting cast head ed by Barbara O'Neil and Donald Crisp, and including Montagu Love, Sig Ruman, c. P. Huntley, Jr, Rich ard Ainley, Bruce Lester, Billy Be- van and Doris Lloyd.
 The new film. is tightly knit drama dealing with the irnermost thoughts of women's minds, as di- vulged by modern psychiatric meth ods. A. J. Cronir1, whose brilliant novels have brought him world- wide renown, has written a stirring story that is thoroughly entertain ing, with @ dramatic and unusual domance woven through it.
 James Stephenson, whose sensa- tional success in the Bette Davis film, The Letter." skyrocketed him to stardom, plays the leading role of young English doctor who dis covers new method for curing dis ordered minds. Lovely Geraldine Fitzgerald is cast opposite Stephen son as his assistant and the girl who teaches him the important les- son in humanity which enables him to complete his great work.

hidden by towels and all the rest of it was onscured by an ether mask. Any man in the world of his approximate build could have played that scene without trace of grease paint.
 The identity of the actor and the studio are withheld, by special re- quest, in deference to the blood- pressure of the company's stock holders. You'd be amazed by the extent of silent influence welded by people all over the country who own a few shares in motion pic- ture concerns. The fear here is that lot of investors might get the idea that a studio is being run incompetently, and that they might get together, upset the exising management and send out some wonder-boy of their own choosing.
 This actually has happened a few times through the meddling of eastern financierS and the result ale ways has been chaos. When a money-man tries to run a studio, everybody goes crazy. Hollywood is fond of recalling that one of these non-showman geniuses, after only two months of wild confusion, was taken away to a private sani- tarium. During the first few weeks of his tay at the looney house, he is said to have devoted himself to writing thousands of checks for huge sums of money and distribut- ing them among the guests and guards.

HOW TO STEAL A HOUSE

One form of waste which the stu- dioS have found hard to control Is the theft of equipment and mater ials. Studio stealing sound easy when man can carry a bass fid- dle out through the main gate of United Artists. My favorite story concerns 8 property man who built and furnished a house with studio materials.
 Trucks loaded with lumber, paint, brick, tile, sash and so on were routed into one gate, out another and away to his home site. When he got around to bathroom fixtures he discovered the studio farehouse had nothing that was both prac- tical and desirable. With two bot tes of choice liquor, he visited a scenarist and persuaded him to write a bathroom sequence into a picture. The desired equipment was described in detail in the script, was purchased and used in the picture. Soon afterward it was installed in the home of the resourceful prop man.

Hollywood. This place is not merely a Super-aSy1um in which comedians wander around playing Hamlet and producers believe they are Napoleon. All sorts of people are victims of dementia-ce1luloidia, and if they weren't goofy when they came here, somebody will drive them that way.
 Out at Metro, booby-trap has been set for whatever director will be assigned to '"The Chocolate Sol- dier." Here's an excerpt from stage directions in the script: Stevens toy poodle is lying outside the door of the drawing room; Eddy's great dane is outside the music room. Both dogs are wearing dutiful and appreciative expressions as they lis- ten to their owners voices. The dane, thinking no doubt that the practice has gone on long enough, gives 8 tremendous yawn. Tn e poodle replies to his with a fierce admonishing growl. Really your manners get worse every day!' he obviously is saying. The dane hangs his head in shame. .."
 The other day a high-priced char acter actor checked into a film fae- tory at 8 o'clock, went through makeup and was on the set at 9. Two hours later somebody told him he'd have to be made up again, be- cause in his first scene he was sup posed to appear very i'll and drawn. In fact, he was to undergo an op- eration.

Queer Ways to Seek a Job

job-hunter's numbers increased.
One of the oldest came to light
recently through this advertise
ment in a Boston journal:
Want position as salesman In
cigar store. An inve terra e
smoker, but will charge against
my salary all tobacco I appropri-
ate from stock. Do not stoop to
petty larceny"
Not long ago the following
want ad appeared in a Houston
daily:
Waterman at liberty. Honest,
sober, reliable. and sound
sleeper"
The woman who placed this ad-
vertisement in Louisville paper
was certainly an eccentric job
hunter who very likely did not
get the job she was after:
Am refined woman who would
like position as governess, but
can't say that I'm fond of chill
dren."
Strange as it seems, the pro-
verbal one-armed paperhanger
is actually a reality. for here is
his ad which was in the columns
of San Jose paper:
"One-armed paperhanger needs
work. Guarantees to hang $40
yards of wall paper in a day.
Paul Cardinal, Box No. AL"
San Francisco readers were
greeted with the following which
appeared-in one of their morning
papers:
Ambulance driver Just re-
turned to Gods country from
war-torn Europe. Wants job as
chauffeur. Can drive like hell"
This appeared in Philadelphia
newspaper:
Position wanted by lady cook

sires use of parlor for entertain
ing three nights a week"
The culinary artist who put
this ad in a Buffalo paper de-
served some kind of a position:

sausaGes, and | wouldn't If l
could, for I don't like the looks
of the things"
Whether or not the stenogra-
pher who inserted the following
