POL1's

One of the strangest romances ever filmed comes to the screen in Suspicion, an unusual type of mystery picture starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine, now at the LoeW-Poli theater u was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
 The unique story revolves about the lives of Johnnie Aysgarth, an attractive young ne'er- -do-well, and of Linda McLaidlaw, an unsophisti- cated but beautiful heiress whom Johnnie woos and wins in tempestu- ous style, inducing her to elope with laced father.
 Not until after the honeymoon does Linda discover that her charm ing husband hasn't a shilling to his name, and is heavily in debt. She makes him go to work managing an estate for a wealthy cousin, but he neglects his work in favor of play ing the races, "borrows" money from the estate to cover his losses, and is finally discharged under g cloud.
 The two stars are said to be ideal ly suited to their unusual roles. Grants versatility fits him to por- tray the likeable but reckless John- nie in brilliant style, while Miss Fontaine's dramatic performance in the recent "Rebecca" qualities her for the part of the timorous, imag- inative Lima.
 One of the most potent gloom chaserS to reach the screen in re- cent months is the new Hal Roach comedy Hay Foot" co-feature of Suspicion" Topping the cast are William Tracy, Joe Sawyer, James Gleason, Elyse Knox and Noah Ber- ry, Jr This lineup of outstanding comedians provides Hay Foot" with merriment from the first shot to the final fadeout. Tracy again appears as Dodo Doubleday, a man with a prodigious memory and penchant for getting into hot water; Miss Knox is the beautiful Betty who be- lieves in him; Sawyer and Berry are champion pistol shots and Gleason appears as Colonel Spitfire".
 This complete double feature pro- gram will be shown on our Early Bird Show at 10:00 Saturday morn ing with absolutely no raise in ! prices.

It's been a long time since this department felt it could unpack its special store of superlatiyes and start showering them over a movie but this we do gladly and joyfully of Birth of the Blues" the song studded, laugh-packec musical com plctely captured audiences which saw the opening performances yes terday at Warmers State tneater.
 With cast topped by Bing Cros- by, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy, Carolyn Lee, Jack Teagarden and Rochester, Birth of the Blues" in all that you would expect it to be. The music, which consists Of fifteen favorites, many of them beloved blues numbers, and one brand new novelty song, is just superb.
 The picture takes us back 10 those colorful days in New Orleans just after the beginning of this century when music was just starting ot take on the indigo tint of the levee and plantation rhythms. It was the music that evolved into "St. Louis Blues", Memphis Blues" "St James Infirmary Blues." "Tiger Rag" and many another hot Dixie land jazz numbers.
 In Birth of the Blues", Bing Crosby is a happy -go-lucky fellow, who forms the first white band to play the blues music. It's a real jubilee of tive and should not be missed If you're at all interested in getting in on one of the gayest laush-and-music trolics you've ever enjoyed.
 The newest shudder movie Among the Living" is the second hit of the program and brings the ubiquitous Albert Dekker in the Sading role with Susan Hayward and Frances Farmer in featured roles. MT. Dekker does a beautiful job of spine-tingling as a homici- dal maniac who kills and vanishes only to reappear and kill again. Remember, this show positively concludes its engagement Satur- day evening, do put it on the tor of your must" list and plan to see | it today or tomorrow.
 "Skylark," that hilarious hit you've been hearing so much about is coming to the State Sunday with Claudette Colbert, Ray Midland and Brian Aherne in co-starring leads.

and the actor will memoriZe it, and chances are he'll repeat it perfectly on the first take.
 BONE WITH DAIRY
 Since his main job has been so easy and profitable, Arlen naturally has turned to other fields for his hard work and worrying. Most of his outside enterprises did fine until something kicked them in the teeth. There was string of dairies, threatened by delivery strike. Ar len was so mad he shut up the whole business and walked out on the astonished negotiations. He also helped finance and build up a big truck line which took quite a bounc- ing around from the railroads.
 Lately there has been his flying school in nearby Van Nuys. Arlen got into that through his love of aviation, but expanded it lavishly for pilot training as measure for national defense. The school was graduating about 60 pupils every three months, most of them pri- Ildly oCuucIlCS llcdQeQ LOT UIlc hIIIly when national defense Up and ruin ed everything. The field is in what the Army terms combat area, and all private planes are grounded for the duration.
 Arlen isn't concerned about him. self. In the course of his business tragedies he also has acquired vari- ous items of local real estate, plus a large ranch in the valley where he lives with herd of Herefords. The cattle ought to bring him quite bit of money, but his friends will be surprised if some unpredictable debacle doesn't happen.
 ONE SURE THING
 There's just one sure and gener- ous source of revenue for MT. Arlen, and that's the screen. It was by a physical accident that he became an actor in 1921: a studio car hit him

 Arlen speaks wistfully of the earlier years at Paramount when he and Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby and Jack Oakie played football on the lawn behind the administration building and tackled cuties and dig nified executives. They did other things, too, such as blasting with blanks at the south end of a stark naked and swiftly sprinting Maurice Chevalier.
 Those were happy days. Every thing seems to be changed now ex- cept Dick Arlen himself.

 Acting Is such an effortless occu- patton that Arlen never looks at a script until he reaches the set on the first morning of production.
