M The Local TheaterS
POLI'S

Today will be your last oppor- tunity to see Spring Time in the Rockies" starrnig Betty Grable and John Payne with Carmen Miranda and Ceasar Romero, and Man in the Trunk" with Lynn Roberts and George Holmes.
 Tomorrow and Thursday of this week at the Loew's Poli Theater will present a mammoth in person stage show, headed by Shep Fields and his Orchestra.
 Those who have recently heard Shep Fields and his new music are universally convinced that here at last is something under the sum and something very welcome.
 Fields sensational new style meets what has been 8 growing need in musical America for some- thing to bridge the gap between the extremes of sweet and swing--yet it is definitely not a hybrid, boast. ing manner and Instrumentation that is different from any other.
 A real appreciation of current mu. sical desires and completely orig inal conception of Instrumentation and style are the principal factors in the new music created by Sher Fields. Instrumentation of his band includes nine saxophones and foul rhythm-and the musical product of this set-up is as enjoyable and diverting as 1t is novel. There are no trumpets or trombones in thI band.
 Tn addition to this headline attrac' ton there will be galaxy of stage and screen personalities appearing in person.
 An added feature of our stage shov this week will be special midnigh show to be given Wednesday night Thanksgiving Eve. In addition tC the big stage show there will be ( fine screen program, topped by tht RKO smash hit, wings and tht Women" starring Anna Neagle
 As usual tomorrow and Thursday the screen show will start promptly at l2:00 enabling the thousand oi defense workers to see 8 complete stage and screen show and still be out at 2:30 in time to be at work al 3 o'clock.
 For the special midnight show Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve, there will be no advance ir the prices.

STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is You Were Never Love- Her" with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth in co-starring leads; also Kay Harris in Parachute Nurse"
 Uncle Sam has imposed no pri- critics on laughter, as Waterburians are slated to discover when Warner Bros George Washington Slept Here" makes its local debut at the State tomorrow. AS play it kept New Workers laughing, and advance reports indicate that the motion picture, boosting one of the finest casts of this seasons crop of laugh hits, will carry on that reputation.
 Tn the leading roles are Jack Benny and Ann Sheridan. Benny is cast as the average American big city dweller, reared in comfortable apartment houses, whose wife, an avid antique hunter, carries mat ters too far when she buys a house where George Washington was supposed to have slept.
 Fun is provided when they are in- formed by the lugubrious caretaker, played by Percy Kilbride, who ap- peared in the original stage play, that the well is dry, and 1t will be necessary to dig a new one.
 The house proves to be a verita- ble Gargantua for 1t swallows re- pairs without showing signs of im- proyement, and the situation be- comes more involved when the money for the mortgage must be raised-or else.
 When matters close in on the couple and there's no quarter in sight, Rommie the dog, saves the situation in a laughter provoking climax.
 So, be prepared for the biggest laugh hit you've ever enjoyed when you see George Washington Slept Here" starting tomorrow at the State. It's the funniest thing on film and riot from start to finish.
 Others in the cast include Hattie McDaniel, William Tracy, Joyce Reynolds and other favorites.
 The second big hit of the program will be a thriller entitled Secret Enemies" featuring Craig Stevens and Faye Emerson.

STRAND

A rolllcking musical extrava- ganza, filmed in gorgeous Techni- color, against the stunning back ground of eye-filling Lake Louise, is goth Century -Fox's "Springtime in the Rockies" which wends its merry way into the Strand theater tomorrow for three days. It has a star-studded cast including Betty Grable, John Payne, Carmen Mi- randa, Harry James and His Music Makers, and Cesar Romero.
 Producer William LeBaron obvi- ouSly was in magnanimous mood when he was gathering talent for this picture. To the unusually generous star roster, MT. LeBaron added a dozen or more entertain ment aces. including Charlotte Greenwood, the eccentric dancing comedienne, Edward Everett Hor- ton, Frank Orth, comedy delight of My Gal Sal" and Jackie Gleason.
 Much of the action takes place at Canada's enchanting Lake Louise, known the world over for its wondrous beauty, However, 1t is conceivable that more than one moviegoer, with an eye to scenic values, might anticipate with even greater relish the prospect of view ing Miss Grable in the full glow of Technicolor magic. At any rate, the Lake and the Grable would seem to account adequately for the eye appeal of "Springtime in the Rockies"
 As for listening thrills, let's just mention Harry James and His Mu- sic Makers, and say no more. James talking trumpet is to young Amer lea a cause Celebre. His torrid in- terpretation of four new sock tunes by Mack Gordon and Harry War ren, any of his many fans would VOW, could make the Rockies them selves rock with rhythm. And. of cours Helen Forrest, James regular, chips in with Miss Grable. Payne and La Miranda on the vo. calls.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Man in the Trunk, with Lynne Roberts and George Holmes,

Courses are held at the old Steele S. Johnson building on South Main street and may be taken almost at the convenience of the trainees," Miss Moher stated. Among the courses are: machine training, specialized screw ma- chine, inspection, including the use of micrometers, blue prints and more skilled gauge inspection. All those interested in any of the courses must register at the local employment office on Bank street.
 Block leaders are now enlisting the services of women on volun- tary basis, and are particularly anxious to sign up women without children.
