STATE

Attractions concluding their en- gagement with performances this evening at Warmers State theater include "1n This Our Life" starring Bette Davis with Olivia de Havil- land, George Brent and Dennis Morgan; also Joan Davis, Jinx Falkenburg and Brenda and Cobina in Sweetheart of the Fleet"
 One of the seasons strongest films will make it's debut at the State tomorrow with the presenta- tion of Warner Brothers latest pro- duction luke Girl"
 In the starring roles are alluring Ann Sheridan, fresh from her tri- umph in Kings Row" and dashing Ronald Reagan who has an impress sive list of fine performances to his credit.
 "Juke Girl" has an exciting story to tell, and tells 1t well, making every line of dialogue, every bit of action, contribute directly to the stark plot. Briefly, 1t tells how sim pie, hardworking people refuse to be brow-beaten by 8 man who thinks his position gives him the right to rule other peoples lives.
 The setting of the film is a little town known as Cat Tail, Florida, made up of itinerant fruit and vege- table pickers. The largest packing plant is run by man who, because of his position rules the town. The role is played by Gene Lockhart. He sets prices; he gives jobs and takes them away; his word is law.
 Miss Sheridan will be seen in the role as a hostess in the towns only tavern and 1t is there that she meets Reagan and Whorf who have come to find work. Reagan and she immediately strike it off well to- gether, but Whorf makes it plain that he hasn't much time for ,wo- men. He also decides that things be- ing as they are in Cat Tail, it would be good idea to become friendly with Lockhart.
 Tobias who plays the role of a friendly vegetable farmer, is pre- vented by hockhart from getting a good price for his product.
 Highlighting the film is the stir ring fight between Tobias and Lock- hart which ends with Tobias being killed. and makes one of the most exciting sequences to have been flashed across the State screen this season.
 True To The Army" starring Allan Jones, Judy Canova, Ann Miller and Jerry Colonna is the second big hit of tomorrow's new show. It's a riot of laughs and mu- sic so better come prepared to have the time of your life.

king. The pips of each suit were paralleled by the same pips in the other suits all the way round. This hand is the result of a new deck being put in play and not being shuffled.
 John Haggerty of Syracuse, with his wife as partner, was the only player in the room making his con- tract. Since one of q suit is the maximum that can be made, 1t was no surprise to see sets ranging from 100 to 800.
 In most cases the deal was played at no trump by whichever side opened the bidding. It is interest," ing to note that, at no trump, the defenders win the odd trick, because the 18th of the four-card suit opened can be cashed. In actual play the lead of a tive-spot usually rave the defenders all four tricks in the suit, because the declarer could not guess that he should jump up with dummy's queen.
 At Haggerty's table the opening lead disclosed the club situation. and it was easy to win seven tricks.
