 Tony snorted. with your grades, Paulie, anybody would"
 Below, a group of freshmen rushed between buildings, their carefree laughter reaching up to Paula and Tony. Listening, Paula felt old and solemn.
 "Youre right, Tony, college Is Q sort of dress rehearsal for the big show. If you make mistake here well, there's someone to prompt you from the wings. But once you get out in front of 6 real audience Oh, gosh, Tony, when I think of walking under that old arch 1t scares me-"

 Paula and Tony spun around to face Chris. He had approached as silently as an Indian. His wiry blond hair was unidentified, Q sar- donic twinkle lighted his blue eyes.
 "Go ahead. rub It In, Chris" Tony said mildly But for Q change we're talking sense"
 Chris chuckled. Mind If I sit here and brood over these hal- lowed walls?"

STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is Meet John Doe" with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stan- wyck; also Repent at Leisure" with Kent Taylor and Wendy Barrie.
 One of the most witty and dar- ing comedies ever conceived for the screen comes to the State tomor- row with the presentation Of Mar lene Dietrich in "The Flame of New Orleans"
 It is the first American picture directed by Rene Clair, iilternation- ally famous director Of Under the Roofs Of Paris" "The Ghost Goes West" and many others.
 Clair amazed the English-speak- ing picture public several years ago by registering m historic success with his first venture into the Eng fish language--"The Ghost Goes West" In "The Flame Of New Or- leans" he undertook the hurdle of extending his dramatic talents to another idiom. He is said to have accepted the assignment with calm confidence that human values and dramatic language are international.
 For Marlene Dietrich, the star, 1t Is the first time she has walked down 6 wedding aisle in all her dra- matte career. It Is also the first time she has done light comedy Lifswise 1t is the first time she has been given a high-style wardrobe and the first time she has ever im- personated naive and sheltered gentlewoman.
 It is the first romantic leading role for Bruce Cabot, who has in- variably played villains, and tie first time he has worked in a muStache. For Roland Young. 1t is the first Latin role in all his years of act- ing. For a comedian whose trade mark" has been unique dry per- sonality, the role means an entire change of character into spiked mustacheS, florid mannerismS and higher emotional key.
 It is the first time since most picture-goers can remember that colored maid Is not large and mid- dle-aged, in the Hattie McDanieI tradition. The maids part is taken by tiny Theresa Harris. remembered for her comedy sequences with "Ro- chester" in the Jack Benny pic- lures.
 Other funsters in the cast include Andy Devine, and Mischa Auer while Lillian Cornell, Melville Cooper and others are featured.
 The second big hit of the program Is Las Vegas Nights" with Tommy Dorsey and his swing band. Bert Wheeler, constance Moore, Phil Re- gan and a host of other entertain CTS and comedians.
