STATE

A treat to eye and ear is current ly being afforded patrons at War ner's State theater where the re- freshing technicolor production Happy Go Lucky" began its four day engagement today.
 The picture sparkles with delight full performances by Mary Martin, Dick Powell, Betty Hutton, Eddie Bracken and Rudy Vallee, all of whom lend their many talents to making Happy Go Lucky" the cheery, tuneful entertainment gem it is.
 The story is set in one of the gar den spots of the world-a romantic resort island in the Caribbean-and has to do with Miss Martins deter imitation to land a rich husband. Dick Powell and Eddie Bracken, beach boys with an eye on juicy commission, pitch in to help her work on millionaire Rudy Vallee. Betty Hutton Mary's friend, does likewise. The four hold a council of war and decide how best to snag the indifferent, shy Vallee. Their ideas, which are no sooner thought of than put into action, prove to be hilar- iouS but unproductive of the desired result. By this time Vallee is safely on the hook, Mary and Powell are that way about each other, causing further complications.
 Five hit songs, plus a couple of extras, enliven proceedings which are lively enough to stand on their own feet even without the aid of music. The songs are Happy Go Lucky" Let's Get Lost" Murder, He Says" "The Fuddy Buddy Matchmaker" and "Sing a Tropical Song" Keep your ear peeled for Sir Lancelot, the famous Calypsy singer who turns in one of the best per- formances of the film.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents another comedy riot entitled Lady Body guard" starring Eddie Albert and Anne Shirley.
 Tomorrow morning at 9:3O the State again presents it's Early Bird Show. The same topnotch screen program that is currently at the State will be presented at the spe- cIal showing which is being held for the convenience of defense workers. Doors of the theater will open promptly at 9:i5 and the show will get underway at 9:30 so plan to be there early.

G lovely chorus of Hollywood love-
illness to aid and abet her.

Lahr, combine with the lifting mu-
sic Of Tommy Dorsey's famous Or
chestra First rate supporting roles
are played by William Post, Jr.,

an innocent victim of saboteurs in
to a colorful American at

regretfully that Dolores Del Rio
once, for a bathtub scene in 1.-THE
Red Dancer stayed dunked a
whole day-from a. m. to p. M
after which Miss Del Rio was more
than slightly waterlogged.
We've got more help on bath
ing nowadays he says. I'VE used
to have to haul the water, keep
it hot, and mix up the foam bath.
Got the ingredients from a phar-
macy. mixed it ourselves, and filled
the tub. Today we get the same
stuff already mixed-it keeps its
bubbles whereas ordinary soap bub-
bles burst. Now the unions make
these baths easier for prop men
they get plumber to fix the wat
er, and a heating man to keep it
warm"
