STRAND

For sheer entertainment no recent film compares with MT. Lucky" new hit now being shown on the screen of the Strand theater, CO., starring Laraine Day and Cary Grant.
 Tender, funny, charming and sus- pensful by turns, and always de- lightful, the film lends its star new stature as brilliant portrayer of character, for his Joe, the Creek is much the best and most colorful role Cary Grant has had on the screen.
 The principals receive grand sup port from Charles Bickford, Alan Carney, Henry Stephenson, and Gladys Cooper, among the featured players. Convincing settings, and the excellent direction and produc- ton efforts of H. c. Potter and David Hampstead, help to make MT. Lucky" the sort of show that every movie-goer applaudS.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Yanks Ahoy", a laugh a-minute comedy featuring William Tracy and Joe Sawyer, with Mar jorie Woodworth handling the feminine lead.
 Opening on Saturday at the Strand for an engagement of four days is the 2Oth Century Fox hit. 'They Came to Blow Up America" featuring George Sanders and Anna Sten.

United Artists will pick up the check and Mary Pickford, who has had a hankering for a long time to get into production, will produce teh picture. The contract is an un- usual one, giving Producer Max Gordon and his associates, includ- ing the authors of the play, Joseph Fields and Jerome Cholorov. a choice of $410,000 in outright pay ment, or a cash payment of $355,- 900 plus 35 per cent of the pictures net profits. By accepting the lat ter terms the owners would be likely to double that $410,000, al- though the income would be dragged out over several years. However, with the tax laws what they are, this would be all to the good, because there would be a wider spread of income. hence less taxes.
 Junior Miss' was an enjoyable comedy. It was played more than 700 performances here before 1t closed in July and road companies were kept busy for two seasons.
 Before Junior Miss, the high mark was $350,OO a point reached after a dozen years in which the prices for movie rights had climbed steadily upward from the once sen sational sums of $75,000 or $100, 900 for the best properties. When you consider that on many pictures Hollywood will pay series of writers as much or more as they paid for the rights, to whip stage script into film shape. it is easy to see how some of those million-do lar epics get that way.

STATE

Capacity attendance at the air conditioned State theater yesterday welcomed Deanna Durbin in her 12th consecutive hit Hers to Hold" con- sidered one of the years most sig nificant romantic dramas.
 This time Deanna is co-starred with Joseph Gotten in his first TO- mantle role while the supporting cast is headed by such favorites as Charles Winninger, Evelyn An- kers and Gus Schilling who have outstanding roles in the impress sive cast.
 Enthusiastic applause by yester- days audiences indicate that the picture is an unqualified triumph for Miss Durbin and the selec- tion of Gotten to be her leading man was a happy studio choice. The story's logical timeliness, too, is said to enhance the films un- usual appeal.
 Deanna, has the best role of her remarkable screen career in Hers to Hold" and she apepars as debu- tante who goes to work in war in- dustry and finds romance aS well as the satisfaction of serving her country. Gotten portrays an Army flyer whose loyalty to the service very nearly thWarts his devotion to the girl he must leave behind.
 Climatic sequences, announce ments say, have more serious dra- matic depth than any in which Miss Durbin has previously ap- peared.
 Nella Walker and Ludwig Stossel are others in the case. Of particu- lar interest are realistic scenes which were photographed inside the mighty Vega Aircraft plant tt Burbank, Cal Special Army auth orization was required for the mak- ing of the scenes Wich show sections of the vast enterprise in action.
 Among the songs which Deanna sings in the picture are Begin the Begaine." "Kashmiri Song" Say Prayer for the Boys Over There" and "Squidilla" from Carmen. On the same big show is the time ly romantic comedy with wartime Washington as its background Get Going" with Robert Paige, Grace Mcdonald and Vera Vague in the leading roles and featuring Walter Catlett and Lois Collier.
 Coming Sunday to the State is one of the greatest double hit shows of the current season which will be headlined by Appointment in Ber- lin" stirring espionage thriller with George Sanders and Marguerite Chapman in co-starring roles and whats Buzzin' Cousin" with Freddy Martin and his orchestra, Rochester and Ann Miller sharing co-starring honorS.

Maine. topping the rugged tier of
Northern States. long has tried to
tell its visitors that the post-summer
season was the best time of the
year. The public is beginning to see
1t in earnest now, and the States
resort proprietors are supplement-
ing their Salesmanship in practi-
cal fashion by providing accommo-
dations as long as they can.
One proprietor puts its this way:
People who leave Maine on La
Dor Day miss the last and best act
of the show. Even our fine Maine
summer weather has to take back
seat for the glorious days of fall.
All of the recreational facilities are
available almost until snow flies in
December, so the fall vacationer
need not feel that all he can do is
sit and tWiddle his thumbs during
this period. Then, too, the extra
dryness of the aumumn atmosphere
imparts a feeling of wen-being."

get well, so that they could get up
and go back to fighting"
The last bombing came on April
S, after which they were evacuated
to Mariveles by bus, and then by a
small ship to Corregidor. Every pos
session Nurse Bernatitus had in the
world she carried in a pillow slip
slung over one shoulder.
In the foul air of Corregidor's tun-
nels there was still work to do in
its operating rooms. The bombing
was almost constant: few saw the
sunshine. Life couldn't have gone
on under more hazardous or trying
conditions. Yet no one lost hope.
Always there was the constantly
voiced conviction that somehow,
some way help would reach them.
On May 3, with Navy wife and
IL Army nurses, Nurse Bernatitus
was ordered aboard a submarine
lying out beyond the mine fields.
Slept in Shifts.
The thirteen women were quar-
tered in one room in four hunks.
They slept in shifts. so the beds
were occupied continuously the
clock around.
For the captain, the officers and
the crew of that submarine, Nurse
Bernatitus simply cannot say enough
in praise. She thinks back to the
skill and daring with which they
brought them past enemy waters,
surfacing at night and submereing
during the day.
Women who had endured un-
flinchingly the suffering and the
hardships of Corregidor, broke down
and cried unashamedly on this
journey when the Filipino mess boy
proudly brought in a chocolate cake
as a grand surprise.
After II days aboard the sub
marine they were landed in Aus
tralia on the first lap of their jour-
ney home.
