STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the new Bob Hope fun-fest Let's Face It" which presents Betty Hutton CO., starring role opposite the famous comedian.
 Fun galore was the order of the day from the opening to the closing scene and audiences were practical ly rolling in the aisles as Hope and Miss Hutton paniced them with their hilarious antics.
 Acclaimed the happiest comedy combination seen in long time, Bob and Miss Hutton caper and cavort in this saga of a soldier-boy off, duty dilemmas in a way to make you forget everything but the good time you are having. There's music in the right places some of the Cole Porter stage show tunes and one original, written by Sammy Calm and Jule Styne, called "Wlao Did? I Dtdl Yes, I Did:" The Hope gags are there a-plenty, in addd- ton some high hitting Hutton con- tributions, plus the comedy talents of Dona Drake, Gully Richards, Eve Arden, zaSu Pitts, Marjorie Weav- CT and Raymond Walburn.
 The supporting cast is an excel lent one and special mention must be made of the comedy talents of Eve Arden, zaSu Pitts and Phyllis Povah who are very funny as rom- ance-hungry wives. Miss Arden played the same part in the stage version.
 Let's Face It., is funy-stuff from the moment you see Bob drive up to the back door of reducing farm, his Army jeep loaded with sweet meats for sale to the waiting hun gry Hannahs. Betty Hutton, his fi- ancee, runs the farm, with a lot less trouble than he has running hope.
 At the farm Bob meets three rniddle-aged, discontented wives who want to make their husbands jeal- ous. They offer him three hundred dollars if he and two of his friends will cooperate with them toward that end. Bob can't say mo" to
