Denny had said, Honey, we're bound to
make 60 of it. You're twenty and IN
twenty-five - it's like writing on clean

paper that had Robin worried. For Denny

Denny wouldn't know about that day

Robin had smiled. She ID tried not to look

night. Her picture turned out well, and Tod
gave her plenty of work after that. When
they didn't see each other in the daytime.
they'd have date at night. They'd dance
the evening away at some smart night spot,
and on the way home in a cab there'd be
casual kiss or two. That was at first. Then
suddenly Tod wasn't 80 casual, and Robin
was in love.
She had the courage Of her convictions,
Robin did. She thought that if you were in
love with man - if you wanted to marry
him and he hadn't proposed, you should let
him know how you felt. So one night. taxi

a farmhouse, in Connecticut, maybe - with
Tod in it. and three kids. Two boys and

Robin - but we'd both have missed six
months of fun. You're that kind, and knew
it,"
He'd called her every night after that, and
somehow she'd found courage enough not to
pick up the phone. Then there'd been that
telegram: Don't be fool, Robin We're

we're on good terms" Robin had torn up
the telegram and watched it scatter. There
was only one way things would be easier.

Promising Pictures Feature Programs Of Local 7eaters
PAUL REGAIN TOPS
 POLL STAGE SHOW
Tommy Tucker, Orchestra on Same Program Offered
 Last Times Tonight

Today it's Tommy Tucker Time" at L,oew's Poli Theater where the famous band-leader and his orches- tra are appearing in person on the Loew Pot stage as the headline at traction on an aH-Star show which includes such famous Broadway favorites as Lane and Ward, stars of Crazy with the Heat" and Paul Began, famous satirist.
 The stage performances are pre- sented at 1:20, 400, 6:3O and goo p. m., so. make your plans now to attend at least one of these shows. It's one of the grandest yet to be presented since this theater in- auguraed it's stage show policy a couple of months back.
 On the screen is an outstanding hit, Bombay Clipper" featuring Will liam Gargan and Irene Hervey. Opening at Loew'S Poli tomorrow is the biggest double hit show in town, this program comprised o1 two such top features as "The Tut I ties of Tahiti" and Gall Out the Marines"
 What happens when the sailor son of carefree Tahitian family sets out to make them all rich forms the amusing theme of Charles Laughton's new starring film, "The Tuttles of Tahiti"
 Laughton portrays the lazy but likeable head of the family, Jonas Futile, and Jon Hall is cast as the son, Chester, who brings from dis taIt San Francisco a fighting cock that he hopes will redeem the Tut {. tie fortunes.
 Peggy Drake, Florence Bates, Viv- tor Francen, Gene Reynolds ano noted players have prominent roles in the offering, which is said to be the first film to present a realistic picture of native life in the South Seas.
 The other smash hit on the bill is Call Out the Marines" RKC Radios boisterous new comedy fea- turing Victor McLaglen and Ed mund Lowe, and it promises to be outstandingly gay and tuneful judging from the musical talent lined up by producer Howard Bene- dict.
 The Kings Men, popular on F,ib- Der McGee and Molly,s radio pro- gram; and Six Hits and Miss, from Bob Hopes program, are top- flight performers who will present the new songs. Binnie Barnes has the feminine lead in the picture Five brand new songs have been written especially for the picture and each promises to, become an over night hit.

THRILLER CINEMA
 AT STATE SUNDAY
"A Gentleman After Dark Feature Film; Valley of
 the Sun Second Hit

Attractions concluding their en- gagementS tomorrow at Warmers State theater include The Big Shot starring Humphrey Bogart and featuring Irene Manning, Richard Travis and Stanley Ridges; also Alvina Ray and his orchestra, the King Sisters, Bert Lahr and Buddy Ebsen in Sing Your Worries Away
 The States mammoth air condi- tioning plant is now in operation and patrons of that theater are as- sured of clean, healthful, scientific ally cooled air during the warm summer months.
 Sundays show is real thriller from start to finish and the air conditioned atmosphere at the State will make the show more enjoyable,
 "A Gentleman After Dark, star ring Brian Donlevy, Miriam Hop- kinS and Preston Poster will be the top attraction of the show and &C., cording to reports 1t is one of the biggest hits of the current season.
 Donlevy is said to appear in one of his greatest screen roles in "A Gentleman After Dark" as a gentle man jewel thief while sharing hon. ors with him is Miss Hopkins in the role of his wife.
 The picture is said to deliver a terrific emotional punch, its emo- tional appeal being the love of a gentleman jewel thief for his daughter for whom, in her infancy he goes straight" and takes his punishment and for whom, in her coming of age, he breaks out of prison to prevent her happiness from being shattered.
 Donlevy as the father and Miss Hopkins as the mother who refuses to give up her life of crime for the sake of him and his child; and Pres ton Foster, as the boyhood chum of the thief who adopts the girl and raises her as his own are really brilliant intheirp ortrayals.
 The stars are supported by tal- ented cast composed of such favor ties as Harold Huber. Philip Reed, Gloria Holden, Douglas Dumbrille, Sharon Douglas, who makes her screen debut in this picture, and Bill Henry.
 The second hit of Sundays show is "Valley of the Sun" an epic of the real old West when the pioneers and indians fought furiously for existence.

STRAND FEATURES WEAVER BROTHERS
Shepherd of the OzarIks" Heads First Run Twin
 Bill Starting Tomorrow

"Saboteur," the Alfred Hitchcock exposee of fifth column activities. comes to an end with the final showings tonight at the Strand. Co- starred in this tale of subversive activities are Robert Cummings and Priscilla Lane. Others in the cast include Otto Kruger, Norman Lloyd, Alma Kruger, Clem Bevans and Dorothy Peterson. The second big feature, also ending tonight is "Juke Bob Jenny" featuring Ken Mur- ray, Harriet Hilliard, Charles Bar nett and his orchestra, Wingy Manone and his band, and the Milt Herth trio.
 Heading the Strands program, starting tomorrow for a four day run, of two first run, first Water bury showing features, is absorb ing phase of Amercian folklore titl- ed Shepherd of The OzarkS." here's a thoroughly enjoyable piece of screen entertainment, latest in the series of comedies starring the Weaver Brothers with Elviry. In this comedy, they are brought to the city by a city slicker who hopes that once they have a taste of lux ury and high living they will "sell- out" their own government and turn over their aluminium rich fields to selfish financial interests banded to- gether into a syndicate. But he failed to reckon with the sturdy patriotism of the Weavers and their neighbors. Once the plot was exs posed, they left no Ozarkian boulder unturned in their efforts to see that the aluminium found it's way to legitimate sources of national de- fense. Marylin Hare is particularly winsome in the ingenue lead po- posite Frank Albertson, who por- trays the rich mans son. Among the supporting players, Thurston Hall deserves special attention as the aluminium tycoon. "All in all, it's human down to earth enter tainment."
 For your further enjoyment, the Strand will present Lady In Dis tress," the second first run feature on the same program. Featuring Paul Lukas, Michael Redgrave and Sally Gray.

The producers will be Cheryl Crawford and John Wildberg, who have and still are making 8 mint with the revival of Gershwin's most ambitious work, "Porgy and Bess," which is now in it's nineteenth week and long ago surpassed the original production of some seven years ago.
 The projected production with the unpublished Gershwin songs will have lyrics by brother Ira Gershwin, of course, and book by Sam and Bella Spewack based on a series of New Yorker magazine stories by A.. J. Aiebling, which ran under the name "Jollity Building" They were far from fictional portrayal of a certain building in New York City, where the small-timers of the a. musement field get by on their wits and the small sums they can extract by work of sort, guile or downright larceny. An amusing, if not exactly edifying, set of char actefS.
 GEORGE ABBOTT, who started V out with plans for only one production late this summer or early in the fall, is getting more and more involved, much to everyone's satis- faction. First there is Beat the Band" which will be a musical comedy about an orchestra leader. Book and lyrics by George Marion, Jr., and music by Johnny Green. Now Abbott has found another idea to his fancy, a musical comedy to be known as ''The Empires Daugh- ter, ".about baseball, of course. Base ball is one sport that never has gone very well on the stage, whether in musical comedy or straight play,

Every schoolboy remembers the
story of the Boston Tea Party, in
which American colonists, disguised
as Indians, threw precious tea into
the harbor and precipitated, or at
least advanced considerably, the
Revolution.
That story inevitably comes to
mind when one reads about the
Hamburg stevedores who tossed cof-
fee, intended for the Russian front,
into the streets and thereby brought
about rioting in Germany's biggest
seaport.
Such an outbreak would be sig
nificant anywhere in the Reich.
1t indicates that even the sadistic
repression of the Gestapo has not
broken the spirit of the Teutons
beyond repair 1t suggests that the
common people are taking their
food shortages pretty hard = that
either our blockade of Germany is
even more effective than we had
supposed, or that Germans can't
take it the way the British have.
The fact that the incident oc-
Cured in Hamburg opens other in
triguing fields Of speculation.
1t was there, in 1918, that sailors
mutinied against the kaiser's Of
ficers, which lighted waiting tinder
and led to Wilhelms flight and
the collapse of his government.

Even then, the Hamburg Com
munist cells resisted longer and
more successfully than those else
where. There is reason to suppose
that through all those years while
Hitler was supreme that it was
suicidal for a Red to show his head
in the Reich, nuclei cells continued
to function in Hamburg.
If this is the case, it seems rea-
sonable to speculate that these
Communist organizations now are
taking advantage of the misery and
discomfort in Germany, of the wars
Wrecking of Hamburg's vital foreign
shipping industry, of the terrible
bombing which Britain has show
cred upon Hamburg, to stir up in

One shouldn't expect history to
repeat itself too minutely, but it is
human to hope.
Moreover-and this may prove i'm
portant in the end-since 1918 Ham
burg has been the Communist capi-
tai of non-Soviet Europe. While
Hitler was rising, Moscow had in
Hamburg an organization which
if the Comintern had not outsmart-
ed itself-could have stopped the
Austrian house painter in his tracks
and saved the world from its cur
rent trouble.
BY misjud9ing relative nuisance
values-by playing with the Nazis
against the Socialists, the balance
of-power Communists helped Hitler
obtain the asendancy, and then in
turn became victims of his ferocity
