STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers
State theater yesterday marked the
opening performances of THE Cor
sican Brothers" starring Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr. with large cast OF
favorites.
That yesterdays audience recog-
nized "The Corsican' Brothers" as
topnctch entertainment, was evil
denced by the enthusiastic recep-
ton that was given the film.
In the dual role of the twin
brothers, who seek revenge for the
wrongs done their family by the
Corsican tyrant of one hundred
years ago, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
gives an exciting performance. He
has no easy job, creating two sepa-
rate characters who are different
vet alike in most respects. One,
brought up in luxury, is a gay
young man Of the world. The other.
raised as a bandit in the Wilds OF
Corsica is a dour and forbidding
personality. Yet young Fairbanks
manages to convey their likenesses
as we'll as their differences, with an
authenticity that is astounding.
In the scenes of action, the hard
riding, the duclS ard the fighting
scenes, he is particularly good.
Thrilling sword-play, vivid and ex-
citing, carry the story along TO a
really great climax.
Outstanding performances are
turned in by Akin Tamirof as the
tyrant. and John Emery, as his
lieutenant. They are as fine pair
of wicked SchemerS as has been
seen on the screen in a long time.
Also outstanding is the work Of
Ruth Warrick. in the feminine
lead. Miss Warrick is comparative
ly newcomer TO motion pictures,
but in this film she gives ample
evidence of her ability. The stellar
supporting cast includes Henry
Wilcoxon, Gloria Holden, J. Carroll
Naish and H. B. Warner.
All in all "The Corsican Broth
ers" is screen entertainment that
should be seen by everyone. Put it
at the top Of your must list ard be
sure to see it at the State before
the closing performances Saturday
evening.
In addition the management
presents another thriller titled 1.-THE
Body Disappears" with Jeffrey
Lynn and Jane Wyman.

perform as they should. Nelson has
already given notice that he will
continue this policy in his War Pro-
duction Board job.
Having thus laid the ground
work, Nelson turned to the Job be-
fore him. What were the overall
requirements of the defense pro-
gram, he asked? No one knew. Mel
son set out to tabulate them a
job never entirely completed, be-
cause just as one set of totals was
about finished, the size of the pro-
gram was increased.
Now there is no need for him to
figure out the production goals he
must meet as chairman of the War
Production Board. President Roose-

and unequivocally to the world.
Donald Nelson Is not one to in
dulge in wishful thinking. He has
no false picture OF the magnitude
of his job. The very scope of his
powers the broadcast ever dele
gated to one man in the history OF
the United States-proves that. for
it's generally conceded that Nelson
himself drew up the list of powers
he would need If he were to take
the job. And Don Nelson isn't the
type of man to take on job that
he thinks cannot be done.
