STATE

One of the funniest screen stories ever told is currently rolling audi ences in the aisles at Warmers State theater where "The Palm Beach Story" with C,audette Col bert and Joe McCrea in co-starring roles will continue showing daily through performances Saturday night.
 Scanning from the pen of Pres- ton Sturges who came up with such motion picture gems as "Sullivans Travels" "The Lady Eve" Christ mas in July" and "The Great Me- GintyP, "The Palm Beach Story" is just as you would expect, highly original in plot. It tells of the mar riage of Miss Colbert and McCrea, five years old and on the rocks be- cause McCrea is 0 financial failure. Claudette thinks she's to blame that she fasn't been as much of help- mate as she could have been and that If they got divorce, she would be better able to exercise her charms on potential investors in his business.
 Miss Colbert has never been love- Her or more vivacious. Not since her scasick scene in "Skylark' has sho had an opportunity for such hilarious slapstick comedy work. She rises to the occasion brilliantly. Me- Crea does @ fine job as her hus- band. This is his second Preston Sturges film, the first having been "Sullivan's Travels" Is someth'nr of Q distinction to be cast by Sturges in more than one oi l. pictures. It proves you've got what he takes in the way of a comedy flair, and he takes plenty.
 Rudy Vallee is great surprise. He ctymes through with an extreme ly funny characterization, really es- tablishing himself as a comedian, He sings an old number, but his singing is incidental. Mary Astor appears as Vallee's blonde, much married sister and is another fun feature, rounding out cast of stars bent on giving you hilarious movie entertainment.
 Burgess Meredith and Claire Trevor in Street of Chance" is the second big hit of the program and 8 picture that will be enjoyed by everyone who sees it.
 And then coming Sunday to the State is another big hit production of l943 pittsburgh" with a star-studded cast headed by Mar lene Dietrich, Randolph Scott and John Wayne and supporting cast featuring such favorites as Frank Craven, Louise Allbritton, Shemp Howard and Samuel S. Hinds.
 Put this show on your must" list and be sure to see it at the State starting Sunday. Give Out Sis- tres'' with the Andrews Sisters, will be the second big hit

he finally returns to Hollywood.
James Stewart, who enlisted in
the Air Forces early in the war, is
another whose popularity has great
ly increased with absence from the
screen. Now a lieutenant, having
won his commission in the same
hard school from which Gable was
graduated, Stewart was one of the
most popular film heroes when he
signed with the U. S. He once re-
marked that Just being an actor
doesn't seem to me to be enough
of an occupation for an able-bodied
man" He lived up to that idea
by becoming a skilled civilian pilot
long before wars shadow fell across
the Nation. He's another who will
break old records when he returns
to films.
Then there is Tyrone Power, who
joined the Marines. The grapevine
brought back word that they really
poured it on" when Ty arrived in
boot camp. But he took it all in
stride and invited them to hand out
more. The report is that he is VIM
ming high respect from his buddies
and officers alike. Anyway, he was
one of the top qualiflers in the
exams for officers training and has
been sent to Quantico, Va, to round
out his course. The marines are

Henry Fonda is in the Navy and
his star of popularity is climbing

Montgomery, now on sick leave at

high seas and proved he has the

RKO recently discovered a young
man named Robert Ryan playing
stock in the East. Although his time
out of uniform was limited, they
hurried him into two pictures,
"Bombardier" and The Sky's the
Limit" the latter with Fred Astaire.
Young Ryan scores such a hit in
both, according to RKO officials.
that he was signed to a flattering
contract before reporting to the
Army. When he returns he'll have
leading man roles and probably a
popularity he never dreamed of.
Tim Hollis case is also noteworthy.
After finishing "Hitler's Children
Tim went right into the Army, with
no conception of the triumph he
was to score in that sensational
sneak hit. Now many fans, who
had merely heard of him as some
sort of Western actor, will be wait
ing eagerly for his pictures.
Other top players who halted their
careers to go into service include
William Holden, Ronald Reagan,
Jeffrey Lynn, Wayne Morris, George
Montgomery and John Payne.
They'll never want for movie fans
when the big show is over.

Clad in colorful armor that blends
perfectly with the surroundings, the
archer sneaks up on his victim.
When within feet or less. there is
pause for aiming and firing. The
water bullets strike with enough
force to topple the insect into the
water. 1t matters not whether the
insect be small or large, but in pro-
portion to the size Of the gunner, a
large husky dragon fly must be about

Take MyWord for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
You-Aii

Stamford: Is it true that South
erners use "you-all' in the singular;
that is to say, would one Southerner
address another as "you-al?'-S.
S. T.
Answer. Never. In the South,
"you-all" means "all OF you; you
and your family or associates This
verse OF unknown authorship states
the case admirably:
YOU-ALL.
Come all OF you from other parts,
Both city folks and rural,
And listen while I tell you this:
The word "you-all' is plural.
When we say "you-an" come down,
Or "we-all" shall be lonely,
We mean a dozen folks, perhaps.
And not one person only.
II should say to Hiram Jones,
For instance. "You-alrs lazy"
Or, will you-all lend me your
knife?"
He'd think that 7 was crazy.
Now il you'd be more sociable
And with us often mingle,
You'd find that on the native tongue
"You-all" Is never single.
Don't think I mean TO criticize,
Or act as II I knew all.
But--when we speak Of one alone,
We-all say YOU like you-al.
1t is my theory that what con-
fuses non -Southerners is not so
