STATE

The laugh that lasted two years long on the stage is a screaming screen smash, at Warmers State l theater where thousands of theater- goers enjoyed the opening perform ances of "The Man Who Came to Dinner.
 The funniest film of our day and { ten times funnier than the play "The Man Who Came to Dinner" co-stars Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Monty Woolley with 8 giant cast of faVorites.
 It all begins with the dinner in- vitation hospitably extended by a socially ambitious midwestern ma- tron to the internationally famous lecturer and wit, played by Monty Woolley. Woolley, who despises all conventional folk such as his hostess represents, accepts under duress. Arriving at the house with his sec retary, played by Miss Davis. he slips on a piece of ice on the porch. Borne raging into the house, he i'm mediately announces he is going to sue his host for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 Supposedly suffering bad in- jury. he has to remain for month or more. For his hosts, it is per- iod of mental torture. For Wool ley, it turns out to be fun. So much fun, in fact, that when the doctor informs him that he made a mis- take in his diagnosis and that there is really nothing wrong, Woolley bribes him into secrecy.
 A more brilliant cast could hardly have been assembled. Miss Davis, turning for the time from the high ly dramatic roles which have made her the screens drama queen, takes over the role of the secretary and makes it a living and breathing portrait of a career girl who is tired of her career Sheridan's portrayal of the predatory glamor girl is sheer delight and her loveliness is breath taking. Tn the tile role, bearded Monty Woolley, who created the part on the stage, is inimitable as the outrageous guest.
 Jimmy Durante, as a mad Holly woodite; Reginald Gardiner as a too, too, British writer; Billie Burke as the beWildered hostess; Grant Mitchell, as the irate host; Mary Wickes, as Woolley's abused nurse, and Elisabeth Fraser, as the daugh- ter of the house, all contribute ex- pert performances.
 Steel Against the Sky" with Alexis Smith, Lloyd Nolan and Craig Stevens, is the second big hit of the program.

AS far out of the formula movie territory as the title implies, "One Foot in Heaven" which opened yesterday at Warmers Strand the ater, presents a story that is as refreshingly different as it is rich ly entertaining.
 The country minister and his faithful wife come into their own in this picture starring F'redric March and Martha Scott. From their early trials. at times highly humorous, at others semi-tragic, to victory in a rousing struggle, and to final renunciation of material comforts for the sake of the Cause, they do themselves, and their call ing, proud.
 The story is largely factual be- ing based on Hartzell Spence's biog- raphy Of his own minister father Young Spence former newspaper man, sub-titled his book, One Foot in Heaven" "the etory of a prac- tical parson"
 March, always one of the best of the screens dramatic actors, plays the role of Father, a benevolent tyrant whose outward discipline and inward sympathy makes him one of the screens most lovable characters. His constant struggle to keep both his family and his congregation in line proves life time task that is fraught with heartaches and happiness.

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood.-This ought to be a Christmas in Hollywood column, and maybe it will be, at that. But not like other years. My notes don't seem to jell into anything very cheerful. And even the gags seem a little grim in portent - like the cards showing the jolly Yule saint tossing bomb under Hitler, along with the caption: There IS a Santa Clausp
 With no peace on earth, except in the hearts of the very young, the Christmas season has been a bda time for Hollywood. Most of the adjustments to reality have been swift and willing in this land of make-believe, but the hardest part has been the changing of the old style, sentimental Christmas spirit.
 DROPPED DECEIT
 Hollywood always has cherished Christmas as an emotional hol1- day-a time for laying aside glossy shells and phony roles. a brief arm istice for rivalry and jealousy. The movie colony's tenderest indulgence was to behave and believe, for a little while each year, like ordinary people.
 Now, along with the rest of the l truly civilized world, Hollywood is fighting mad. At any other time ot year, that would be dandy. But SC far as Christmas is concerned, there is small comfort ill the assurance this great anger is entirely right eous, or in the conviction 8 tri- llmphant ending has been pre-re- corded into history's script.
 The immediate and irritating fact l is that gang of international hoodlums has sneaked into Holly woods dream world and hung a i skull on the Christmas tree. An other discordant symbol may have been substituted for the bright star of the east. Is it still star?-or is it a parachute flare. or church burning down? Must wise men ap- proach it cautiously by night, car rying machine guns?
 LIGHTS OUT
 Not many of the homes in Bev- erly Hills have exterior decorations this year. Formerly there were elab- crate displays, thousands of lights ornaments even on palm trees lawns covered with tons of gypsum snow. along with figures of gnomas and reindeer and the like. Blackout

 The hour after lunch I put ln looking around the plantation. The grand old place was all gone to seed There had been gale Of wind the week before and the broad lawn in front was all cluttered. The garden was a jungle, barn a shell, smokehouse wreck, and half the stables had fallen in. A scrawny COW mooed out in the meadow, and a flock of draggletailed chickens huddled in what used to be a shed.
 The house wasn't any better. A person with busted glass eye could see that the whole show was head J la -ys ]. right for anything as young and fresh and vivid as Jane Ann Judson to be buried in the landslide. One of the things had to find out was why she was there all by herself. So I invited her to supper. (TO Be COntinuetl)
