TYPICAL AMERICAN STORY DRAMATTZED
Don Ameche, Frances Dee Among Stars in 'Happy
 Land" at LOew-POIi'S

One of the best-sellers of all time, is brought to the screen today, when Happy Land" opens today at the Loew Poli Thcater for a five day engagement.
 The film which features Don Ameche, Frances Dee, Ann Ruther- ford and Harry Carey, tells the story of laughter and tears love and courage of the people who are the heart of America. This great film is already being acclaimed as one of the most human and inspiring stor- ies ever to be filmed.
 Happy Land" deals with the ef- feet of the war on one family in a typically American community, and of the strangest adventure that ever made everyday Americans over night heroes. It Is the story of the Marsh family of Lew Marsh, in whose friendly drugstore towns life and drama is played; of Agnes his wife, whose courage conquered the cruelest thing that ever could hap pen to a woman; of "Gramp' Marsh who was destined to change peoples lives even if ne had to change the world to do it: of Rusty" Marsh, whose growing to manhood is the essence of the American story; and of Lenore Prehtiss who made her self over into the image and like ness of the girl of "Rusty's" dreams.
 Since Happy Land" is as typically American as a soda at the corner drugstore, 20th Century Fox decided to go all out for realism in this in- tense and moving film-not in just one scene - but in every scene Of the picture; and not for mere spec tacle, but to bring home with all its dramatic force the impact of the small things in daily living.
 Happy Land" is slated to be the most true to life story that has ever come out of Hollywood. The film is headed by an impressive cast consisting of Don Ameche as Lew Marsh: Frances Dee as Agnes, his wife: Harry Cary as "Gramp" and Ann Rutherford as Lenore P-entlSs. Also featured are Cara Williams, Richard Crane. Henry Morgan, Minor Watson and Dickie Moore.
 The second big hit on the pro- gram is whispering Footsteps with Rita Quigley and John Hub bard.
 These two hig hits will be shown at our Early Bird Show. Saturday Morning at 10:C0 a m, given every Saturday at this same time for ben- eft of defense workers and at which time there are always two big hits. There is positively no advance 1n prices for this extra treat.

CiCNEY'S SUCCESS
 RETURNS TOSTATE
The Oklahoma Kid' Opens Five-Day Engagement
 Sunday

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagements of Donald OConnor, Susanna Foster and Peggy Ryan in Top Man" also Sherlock Holmes Faces Death" with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in featured roles.
 Welcome news to Waterburians is the announcement by Manager Julia Smith of Warmers State theater that they will have an opportunity of again seeing James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart together on the screen when Warner Bros "The Oklahoma Kid" begins its return engagement by popular demand at that theater starting Sunday for five days
 The great additional popularity that accrued to Jimmy Cagney fol- lowing his appearance in "Yankee Doodle Dandy and the zoom to stellar heights that followed Be- gart's roles in "Casablanca" and Action in the North Atlantic" prompted Warmers to reissue this screen offering which co-stars both.
 Cagney, in the title role, is cast as an outlaw in the Robin Hood tradition, an adventurous youth who has become known throughout the Southwest for his exploits of der ring-do. Eventually he is enlisted on the side of the law and order. Bo- gart, ace bad man, furthers his screen reputation by playing the leader of a band of treacherous gamblers and gunmen. In the story he is deadly foe of the Oklahoma Kid and their final reckoning IS the highight of the picture.
 Donald Crisp, Rosemary Lane, Harvey Stephens and Hugh Sothern head the supporting cast.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present a brand new second hit entitled Crime Doctor" based on the sus- pense-crammed radio serial and featuring Warner Baxter and Mar garet Lindsay.

Featured with the Philadelphia
orchestra on this occasion were
FRITZ krclSler. tenor Frederick

Union and two directors.
The whole first half Of the pro-
gram was devoted 10 the perform
ance Of TWO lengthy choral works,
both composed by men who were
associated with the festivals, PRIOR
10 their deaths.
The first was Or. Albert a.
Stanley. founder OF the festivals
and first director Of the choral
union tor whom he wrote the
opening "LauS Dec. a choral ode

While not a great work, the
"Laus Dec calls for some lntcn-

The second work choral offering,

Composed by dear old Or. Fred

Poorly articulated, the words

because of the hvelineSS of the

In fact. the whole audience rose
upon kreisler's entrance 10 well

report that Kreisler. who seemed
a little dazed at his first Detroit
appearance after his accident, has
fully recovered. He has the old
fire and presence and while the
tone may not be as broad and full,
the flame still burns brightly.

The Line" Order

Washington, ID. G. ULNS).-"Amer-
ica's big oil interests are attempting to
put over a billion and a quarter dollar
steal on the consumers of the nation,'
the Labor Policy Committee, Office of
Price Administration charged in n
bistering statement linking Secretary
of the Interior IckeS and the oil in
dustry in a pressure campaign to in
crease crude oil prices.
Emphasizing high oil profits, de-
clared the highest on record, the COM
mittee held the proposed increase of
80 cents barrel for crude oil has no
justification and "wOuld be a serious
blow to the whole economic stabiliza-
ton program and violate the Presi-
dents hold the line order"
"It would set in motion flood tide
of other demands for price adjust
ments, and open wider the gates of
inf1atiOn," the committee charged.
Ickes Is Challenged
The committee sharply challenged
Secretary Ickes' assertion that present
ceiling prices are holding back output
and directed attention to present fat
oil profits. 1t said:
Present ceiling prices are not, as
contended, holding back output. The
truth is that the profits of most oil
producing companies are the highesr
in years. For the first quarter of 1913
net earnings of IS such companies rose
10 per cent over the corresponding
period of 1912. The National City Bank
reports that for the first months of

Perth Amboy, n. 1.-The regular

held Friday, August 13, at which time
former National Vice President Hugh

next six months. The same officers
were returned to office President Mike

a highlight of the meeting was the
announcement by the conference com
mttee that the application for a two
weeks vacation with pay had been
approved by the War Labor Board.
The application was made after Il
meeting with Mr.. Irving Hansen Of
the FordS Porcelain Works, who said
he would grant two weeks to those
who had been employed at the plant
over five years, providing other plants
in New Jersey were granting vacations
and the WLB would approve. This is
very good news to the members be-
cause one week seems such short
