 About Town" with Joan Blondell, Binnie Barnes and Janet Blair com | prise the excellent screen program coming to a close tonight at War ner's State theater.
 At last it's on the screen! "Hellza- poppin" the sensational stage play that enjoyed a record breaking run Of four years on Broadway, has fin ally been screened and comes to the State tomorrow with Olsen and Johnson of the original play in the leading roles.
 The screen at the State has with stood in it's time all sorts of enter tainment, but it's safe to wager that no screen in the world will receive such a barrage of madness and merriment as will be launched to- morrow.
 In short, Olsen and Johnson have picked up where the stage show left off, and have made a movie that deles ordinary classification. There are things in this picture which Hollywood has never dared to do be- fore.
 Enough of a plot has been pro vided for Olsen and Johnson to work in the most famous bits from the original stage show. There's the lady who shouts for Oscar who gets herself into all sorts of trouble and the plaintive little man who tries to deliver plant to Mrs. Jones, the plant growing larger and larger throughout the show.
 Buttressing the comedy of Olsen and Johnson are Martha Kaye, Hugh Herbert and Mischa Auer who

MUSICAL NOTE
Good Evening.

There's no shortage of Debussy, We can have all we want of Brahms, Chopin and L.szt are not cut oil, About music we have no qualms. Mozart is not denied us
 We follow the phrase of the flute, Ravel is on every program, Some term his Boero so cute. Handels graceful measures, Haydns musical line Schuberts songs ever and always, All of these are fine They don't ration our music, Those arias for which we have liar, Bach fugues and Beethoven's Fifth Come floating over the air. We have no shortage in music, Though sugar is hard to buy, Silk stockings are at premium, For cut off luXuries we sigh. But there's no shortage of Verdi Or the things Rossini wrote We take our Gershwin as matter Of course Ear tune for the musical note
