son ever saw, She refers to 1t as "The night I got lit up."
 "The boys" she said, 'knew that I became awfully dignifled when I got little bit tight-or so they told me. So one Christmas Eve they made me tin crown and decorated 1t with about 50 candles We'll, when they lit the candles, looked like human Christmas tree and the boys went wild"
 It was all very sensational, she said, except that the wax dripped down on her hair and next morn- ing she couldn't get 1t out. So she got @ big pair of scissors and sheared herself closer than Hem- ingways Maria.
 Except for emitting the candles, Aunt Kate said, she liked every thing else about the picture "Klondike Kate" Except, of course, that 1t had nothing to do with Klondike Kate.
 She was happy, too, about see- ing Miss Savage in a white starched shirtwaist, with long sleeves, a choker collar and a long dark skirt belted with a golden belt. It had always made her laugh, Aunt Kate said, when she went to 0 movie and saw Short- skirted costumes on the girls in Klondike dance hall scenes. we just didn't wear 'em" she said.
 It was too bad, too, she said that the movie couldn't stick to hel own real life romance. Seems shC met John Matson, Q prospector, or the night she 'got lit up" Ht fell in love with her and then they lost track of each other for 3C years. One day he saw her pho. tOgraph in Q newspaper, looked her up and married her.
 They've been married for iC years now but she said they didn't see much of each other. He's still up in Alaska working his mines" she said.
 LEGEND
 As Aunt Kate says, "Klondikt Kate" doesn't have much to dC with Klondike Kate, SO we figured maybe we better remind you that she was born in Spokane, and went to Alaska as an entertainer wheY her father, judge, died. Legenc has 1t that she left the Yukor four years later with over $loo,o0t and then lost 1t all stalking @ frient who betrayed her trust. It's some thing she doesn't talk about, sh' said.
 After returning to the states she appeared in vaudeville for { time and then an automobile ac' cident, which broke her ankle ended her dancing days.

STATE

1T you intend to see Olivia de FIavilland and Robert Cummings in Princess O'Rourke" currently at Warmers State theater you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening conclude its engagement. Ruth Ford and John Loder in "Ad- venture in Iraq" will be the second ait of the program.
 Giving the versatile Pat O'Brien one of his finest roles, "The Iron Major" stars the Irish screen fav- orite in the life of the late Major Frank Cavanaugh, one of the ra- aon's foremost gridlron mentors. w The picture comes to the screen at the State starting Wednesday with Ruth Warrick being co-starred with O'Brien.
 Cavanaugh's action in enlisting in the Army during World War I, des- bite his age and his family respon- abilities, because of his conviction that e man should fight for what he thought right, carries an inspir- ing message to every American to- day. And 1t was for the purpose of bringing that message to the public that the picture was made.
 Beginning in Worcester, Massa- chusetts, in 1891, the jim depicts "Cav's" boyhood his early interest in football, his struggles to earn his way through Dartmouth = for his parents intended him to become a lawyer. But the death of the elder Cavanaugh while the boy is still an undergraduate forces him to quit school and go to work.
 Fortunately, his gridiron prowess wins him a coaching job at Cincin- natl College. Subsequently he grad lates in law from Boston College starts out to practice 1t, but finds his only real interest is in football. To support his newly acquired wife, he goes to Holy Cross to coach, soon becomes top figure in his field as his teams win long series of vic tories for that institution.
 Tn 1909 he returns to Dartmouth to coach, and continues to score sensationally with his unconquer- able teams. And he is still there when America enters the war, and "Cav" decides he must do his part overseas. Enlisting as a private, he is promoted steadily, finally is made Q major and, desperately wounded in action, is invalided home. On recovering he goes back to football again, coaching at Boston College and then at Fordham, with all his old drive.
 "Petticoat Larceny" will be the second hit of the program.
