 GIVING RUBBER IS A PRIVILEGE
 We know our government needs old rubber needs 1t desperately. It ought to be privilege, then, to rummage around our houses from attic to cellar and out to the garage to find bit of old rubber we have and to take 1t down and turn 1t in-free.
 Giving Uncle Sam our old rubber ought to give us lift, make us feel for little while that we are helping in a small way.
 But If the majority of Americans took their rubber down and sold 1t to Uncle San-thats something else again. That doesn't show any enthusiasm, and joy at being able to be of some little help That doesn't show

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is Broadway" co-starring George Raft and Pat O'Brien also Nancy Kelly and Richard Carlson in Fly By Night.
 With thrills and laughs chasing each other so fast they pile up in one astounding climax after anoth- CT Kay Kyser's funniest picture of all My Favorite Spy" comes to the screen at the air conditioned State tomorrow as the headliner of the giant weekend show.
 Featuring Ellen Drew and Jane Wyman in the feminine romantic leads the picture deals with the Op Professors side-splitting troubles as Secret-service agent and Q bridegroom at the same time.
 The fourth of Kyser's pictures, the new comedy with music, is said to be the funniest he has had to date, with Producer Harold Lloyd giving it the suspenseful technique he employed in his own comedy hits of the silent days. The noted band- leader again plays himself, leading his orchestra at fashionable night club in New York City, where things begin to happen to him.
 On his wedding day he is grabbed by Uncle Sam, and after some hec- tic adventures Is assigned to coun- ter-espionage work, helping to run down a. group of enemy agents using the night club as rendezvous. Un- fortunately, he is strictly forbidden to tell anyone, even his bride, what he is doing, and so his domestic bliss fades when wifey finds him running around with an attractive blonde.
 Ellen Drew as the bride and Jane Wyman as the blonde turn in ex- cellent performances. Robert Arm strong as the chief of the enemy forces, Helen Wesley as Miss Drew's acidulous aunt, William Demarest as an outraged cop, Una O'Connor as a maid and Kyser's well-known trio of funsters, Ish Kabibble, Sully Mason and Harry Rabbit join with the Kyser band itself in playing irn- portant roles in the comedy.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents "Joan of Paris" a romantic adventure film of occupied France, with Michele Morgan, Paul Henreid,, two new stars making their American screen debut. They are linked not only in the tense drama surrounding their attempts to escape from the Gesta- DO, but also in 8 poignant romance, a passionate love which flowers un- der the stimulus of grim menace and terror.

STRAND

Lovely dark dressed Andrea Leeds
 and six-foot he-man Gary Cooper provide the romantic interest in "The Real Glory" the adventure drama about the heroic exploits of the Philippine Scouts, which started today at the Strand theater for 8 four day run. The story of "The Glory" was transferred to the screen from a script written by Jo Swerling and dramatizes the bold era of ad- venture, drama and turmoil which reigned in the Philippines follow ing the end of the Spanish-Ameri- can war, when the American army was evacuated and the Islands were ovegrun by religious terroristS and Insurrectionists. It details the for- nation of the Philippine constabu- ulary, officered by Americans, who undertook to quell the rebellions and establish peace and order. The battle staged for "The Real Glory" lasted six weeks and the combatants covered several hundred miles. Against a background of jungle, workmen set up 8 complete army post, including a hospital, barracks, clubhouse and officers quarters, complete to 8 guardhouse with a barbed wire exercise pen. This set at its capacity was peopled by 2,000 souls, including 500 veterans as sol- diers, half as many Filipinos to serve as the constabulary force, 250 more as Moro warriors and a large group of women and children. Yes, indeed, here's a story as timely as today's headlines. By all means, bring the entire family to the Strand and thrill to this spectacle drama.

 Hollywood - Manpower is get ting rather scarce in Movietown. Conditions have changed a good deal since the time when e pro- ducer called in his yes-man and said, "You are fired. I've found one who can nod his head twice as fast as you do"
 At a story conference the other day, the studio chief modestly an- nounced he had thought up a "very funny" twist for plot. He then proceeded to tell 1t, and his stooges and yes-men testified to the sparkling wit and benius of their boss by bowling with forced laughter. They all laughed, that is, except one fellow, and he just sat there and looked pained. Every body started at the rebel in shocked surprise until finally the chief snapped, Don't you think that's funny2"

 The picture colony has quite few able business women, but none more shrewd and purposeful than Miss Constance Bennett. Early during an engagement at Metro, she found that an unau- thorized deduction had been made from her first check. The amount was $1.03, and the item was a set of false eyelashes. Some studios provide these blinkers, and some require actresses to provide their own. That was all right, but Miss

Bennett resented not being con- suited about that $l03 in case she preferred to bring in some phony eyelashes from her private stock.
 One day came a sequence for which Miss Bennett was asked to wear one of her own sleek party gowns. She wore it, and then sent the studio a bill which adequately soothed her annoyance about the eyelashes. The amount for rental of the dress was $750. She collected 1t, too.
