POL1's

Hollywood's finest juvenile talent, headed by Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, arrived at the LoeW Poli theater Wednesday mid1lite, in the new M G M musical, Babes on Broadway" and the result is some thing to shout about.
 Both Rooney and Miss Garland have shown their g-snd-dance talent in such musical pictures as Babes in Arms" and Strike Up the Band" but apparently they were only warming up in these earlier production For in this new one they really go to town, not only singing and dancing to the hilt but delivering series of impersona- tions of famous theater people the like of which has never been seen before on either stage or screen.
 What actor can play Mickey Rooney, Carmen Miranda, Sir Harry Lauder and Richard Mansfield all at once?
 There is only one answer-Mickey Rooney!
 If there is any quartet of more contrasting personalities than those named, it has yet to be discovered Yet Mickey, the Miracle Man of Hollywood plays them all in Babes on Broadway" now playing at Loew's Poli.
 His Carmen Miranda routine is one that promises to top everything he has ever done. He conceived the idea for it when he visited New York last year. Miranda was danc- ing and singing i'll Streets of Pa- riS" and Mickey worked his way into a front-roW seat five nights in suc- cesSion.
 After the fifth night, he went backstage and met the Brazilian bombshell. He asked her if she would mind if he attempted an im- personation of her in his next pie ture. She replied, "Ha, you would pay Carmen great honor. Then she added, "Eef you do, weel come and help you"
 True to her word, when Mickey was all made up and dressed for the number, job that took two and a half hours, there was Carmen Mi- randa on the Sidelines.
 On the same program is another smash hit, MT. and Mrs. Northe" featuring comedienne Oracle Allen at the head of notable cast. Don't fail to see this splendid double fea- ture program now showing at Loew's Poli.

and make for themselves a place
and a name along with the boys
Of other races.
When the Chicago Tribune
conceived the idea Of holding
these annual tournaments, il is
doubtful that the promoters, at
that time, could foresee the great
good to result from them. But
by adopting an American meth
cd, a truly democratic program
BY permitting youth Of every
race, nation, class and color to
enter, they builded better than
they knew.
Arch Ward, the moving spirit
behind the Golden Gloves idea,
is to be commended for his far
sightedness and his interest in all
the youth, many of whom, like
Joe Louis, have profited immense
~ by having participated in the
Golden Gloves tournaments at
one time or another.
May the good work go on!

ABE SIMON
CANCELS BOUT
WITH BOBO

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-(ANP)
The scheduled heavyweight
match between Harry Bobo and
Ample AbrahanN Simon, white,
for the army relief fund Tuesday
was postponed here last Friday,
when Manager James Joy John
ston informed Pittsburgh promo
tiers that Abe had no time to
train for the brawl with Bobo
because he was recently married.
Simon is listed as a possible
Louis victim for March, the 9TH
er contender being Melio Bet
tina, white Beacon, N. Y. south
paw who once held the light
heavyweight title.
According to Mike Jacobs, how
ever, Simon would have to whip
BObo in order to remain a pos
sible contender for Joe Louis.
BObO is rated as being better
than a green hand in the heavy
weight division.
Bettina, however, is just about
out Of the picture, since he was
offered q match with Gus Les
nevich, current lightheavy king.
Therefore, Jacobs holds that ST.
mon, who stood up with Joe
Louis for IS rounds last March,
is now No. l boy for the coming
heavy title bout.

No, not any particular order, not

to say which outfit is the best.
But the joke Of the whole sit

us Of each team is formed from
closed corporation Of basket

play one night with the Crescents,
one afternoon with the Yankees
and every Sunday with the Bears.
Tarzan Cooper is a member Of

lovely time garnering the shek-
els from each of them.
