STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of Northern Pursuit" starring Errol Flynn with Julie Bishop. Edgar Buchanan and host of other favorites.
 The film is a dramatic wartime adventure of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the men who patrol the vast stretches of the Canadian Northwest. Flynn is cast as a mounted policeman who is called upon to break up ring of Nazi saboteurs. He meets clever antag- onist in Helmut Dantine playing Colonel Hugo von Keller, vicious arrogant head of band of Nazi landed by submarine on the coast of Hudson Bay, whose objective is to bomb the Welland Canal.
 The story takes Flynn through an exciting chase through the north country in a blinding snowstorm. Climax of the picture comes when Flynn discovers the NaA hideout, and in a great feat of daring gets control of their plane and wrecks it, breaking up the ring.
 Playing opposite Flynn is Julie Bishop, pretty blonde actress whose work in Action in the North At lantic' elevated her to stardom. Helmut Dantine as von Keller con- tinues to avenge his real-life im- prisonment in a concentration camp by full-length portrayal of a Nazi that audiences will love to hate. The sincerity and integrity which made John Ridgely such likeable char acter in Air Force" again marks him as a conner and the seasoned Gene Lockhart, giving spirit and substance to an important role is certainly "stayer."
 "Petticoat Larceny" with Ruth Warrick, Joan Carroll and Walter Reed Is the second hit of the pro- gram and is riot of laughs.
 Coming soon to the State are such outstanding productions as Johnny Come Lately" with James Cagney in the top role; "Old Acquaintance' starring Betty Davis and John Gar field in Fallen Sparrow"

 But that wasn't all. Block said. had other troubles.
 Marlene was throwing her hips around at some kind of a Bagdad version of Q stag party an all- male audience of Edward Arnold, Ronald Colman and half 8 dozen other Bagdad wolves.
 The boys were giving Block more trouble, he said, than Die- trich's legs in those chiffon pants. In almost every shot, he said, he had to warn somebody to wipe the leer off your face"
 But that wash tall, Block said. There was also the camera.

Miss Warren was in MT. wilson's office within an hour. He liked her looks, arranged for her to read and sing for the producer, author and they signed her. Philadelphia critics and standees acclaimed Miss War ren lavishly. The show is a Fields, Rogers and Hart adaptation of "A Connecticut Yankee" by Mark Twain.
 It was MT. Twain, by the way, who observed that truth is bound to be stranger than fiction because fiction has to be confined to what seems true, or plausible.

 New York, Nov. 1l-Twenty- four hours after Julie Warren set foot in this town-22, beautiful but un- known-she was rehearsing the in- genue lead in a pig Broadway musi- cal. Hers is the overnight success story which, when 1t happens on the stage, makes Broadwayites scream that life ain't like that.
 When she was l6, Miss Warren started playing dark-eyed blonde heroines in obscure movie westerns. She was born in Flint, Mich., had gone to school in Hollywood, played bits in Kings Row" and Big Street. Suddenly she decided to try Broadway. Maybe her one &C., quaintance there, Monte Proser, the nightclub tycoon, would give her Q job singing in one of his places.
 She arrived three weeks ago, went to a hotel, and the next morn- ing started out to see Proser. On the street she met an old friend, Lieut.. Frank Milan. He had spent the previous evening with Director John c. wilson, who had been glumly reporting the failure of an established actress to fit a fat part.

BY a is to l vote, Rep. Harvey
J. Smith dissenting. the House this
morning passed Rep. Frank H.
Whaley's Model Airport zoning
bill, a measure which would auth
orize the Highway Engineer to en-
force coming regulations around
airports.
The bill would enable regulations
limiting the height of structures
and natural growth around airports
to be enforced in the interests of
safety and also provide machinery
for condemnation proceedings to
remove present hazards.
Smith opposed the bill, holding
that the legislature had no right
to pass a bill which would tell any
property owner what he could or
could not do with his property.
Whaley, and others in favor of the
bill, held that such regulations
should be enforced to promote the
safety of air transportation and
remove hazards for the good of the
public which uses air transportation.
Several examples of hazards were
pointed out.
+ The House voted to strike the
emergency clause from the bill.
however, and if the bill passes the
Senate and is approved by the
Governor, it would not become a
law until 80 days after its passage.

Harvey j. Smith urges Congress to
enact legislation for the purpose of
granting to every resident of Alaska
now in the armed forces, upon his

priated.
Smith points out that there are
vast areas of land in Alaska, I'M
occupied and unused, some OF which
is suitable for agricultural purposes.

and indications of petroleum.
He urges the move as a means
of fostering further settlement of

their land.
