STATE

Performances this evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagement of Ginger Rogers and Ray Midland in 'The Major and the Minor; also, T Live On Dan- ger," with Chester Morris and Jean Parker.
 Topping the new show opening tomorrow at the State is the new Bette Davis picture, Nov, Voyager" with Paul Henried being co-starred with the three-tine Academy Award winner.
 The new Better Davis positively will not lose her eyesight, chop off her lovers head, be tortured, take a beating, go to jail, betray her hus- band, be tried for murder, or even sit on a cactus in the new pic- ture.
 On the contrary Miss Davis re- revels in a role any dramatic actress would give new set of tires or sugar rationing card to possess. She has three lovers, she has 30 costumes by Orry-Kelly. She plays herself as a 20-year old bachelor girl and as a smartly dressed, snick- snack young woman of the world in an up-swept hair-do.
 Recent releases seemed to indi- cate that Miss Davis was reaching for new heights of insolence and selfishness in the kind of charac- ters she chose to portray. The

BY ERSKINE JOHNSON TEA Service Staff Correspondent


 An 18-year-old youth walked out of the Los Angeles County court house the other day with a legally approved document in his pocket worth potential quarter of mill lion dollars. Unaccompanied and unnoticed, he stepped into an auto mobile parked at the curb and drove away.
 Six wears ago the same boy was an East Indian raggamuffin, living in a elephant barn in the Karapur jungles on a pittance of two rupees a month. The boy, of course, was Sabu, the story of whose rise from poverty is as fabulous as some of the bizarre tales in Arabian Nights" h:s new picture.
 The contract he had pocketed after gaining the courts approval under the California law protecting minors, was with Universal studio and calls for an annual salary almost equal to that of the President of the Uni ted States.
 HUNG AROUND ELEPHANTS
 Orphaned at an early age, Sabu was a ward of the Maharajah of Mysore, who paid him pension of two rupees month. From the mo- ment he could walk. he spent his time hanging around the Mahara jah's elephant stables, climbing fearlessly over the backs of the huge beasts and riding them to water.
 His skill in handling the animals attracted the attention of a visiting sahib, Robert Flaherty. who had come to the Karapur to film the Alexander Korda production, "Ele- phant Boy" Through an interpreter, the British film maker arranged a screen test for the lad, and within "A hours had assigned him for the title role in the picture.
 After completing the picture, he was taken to London to further his education and be groomed for more pictures. He learned to speak Eng fish in an incredibly short time.
 Sabu's second feature, Drums" duplicated the success of Elephant Boy'' and in 1888 he made personal appearances throughout the United States.
 BACK TO ENGLAND z He returned to England for his third screen production, 'The Thief of Bagdad," which was nearing con- pletion when the Nazi blitz hit Lon- den, and Korda moved his organ ization to Hollywood. This delight ed Sabu, and "The Thief of Bag dad" and a subsequent production, Jungle Book" went out from the American film capital under the Korda banner.
 Sabu today is a typical American boy.
 He dresses like the average high school student, drives his own car, dances and plays tennis, prefers

STRAND

The Strand theater Is currently showing the new P. R. c. release, Secrets of a Co-Ed," with Otto Kru- ger, and that sensational new dis covery Tina Thayer. Also on the same program is 'The Old Hom- stead" featuring the Weaver Broth CTS and Elviry.
 History in the making has been immorta1ized on celluloid by Repub- lie in its picturization of the heroic exploits of the flyers in Gereralissi- mo Chiang Kai-Sheck's American Volunteer Corps. Plying Tigers, which is scheduled to open a three day run tomorrow at the Strand theater, with John Wayne, John Carroll and Anna Lee in the leading roles, tells the dramatic story of the lives and loves of the men who meet Death face to face in the skyways over Burma.
 The boys in the A. V. G. joined the Burma Road patrol originally as Soldiers of fortune" eager for ad- venture and not averse to the large salary and bonus Generalissimo Chiang -Kai- i-Shek pays them for bagging Japanese planes. But, once in the service, they become imbued with more lofty motives, once they realize the heroism of the Chinese nation, fighting for its freedom.
 John Wayne plays the role of Squadron Leader Jim Gordon, who has chalked up an impressive show ing in spite of being outnumbered three to one by enemy planes. But he realizes that his command can- not continue on courage alone, and to fill out his depleted ranks he drafts into service his old friend Woody Jason-played by John Car roll.
 Woody immediately wins the i'll will of his fellow flyers by his cocky egotism and his bluntly mercenary motive for joining the group. In his zeal to lose no time in bagging Jap planes and winning the $500 bonus he goes into an aerial dog flight un- trained and unarmed, and succeeds only in wrecking his plane.
 Among the supporting players are Bill Shirley, Pau, Kelly, Ton; Neal, Gordon Jones, Edmund Macdonald, Bud McTaggart, Gregg Barton, Da- vid Bruce, John James and Jimmy Dodd.
 The second big feature on the same program is Eyes in the Night" with Edward Arnold, Ann Harding and Donna Reed.
