stockings made of shorter-staple

Military needs for long staple
cotton for parachute harnesses,

Previously, stockings were made
only from long-staple cotton. The

more plentiful shorter staples for
stockings with high standard of
durability and elasticity.

FILMDOM SALUTES
MERCHANT MARINE
Action in North Atlantic"
Unusual Attraction at
State Theater

Vigorous, forceful and inspired
action in the North Atlantic" cur
rently at the air conditioned State
theater, tells the timely and glorious
saga of the men of the United
States Merchant Marine.
These are the men who make it
possible to hit the enemy wherever
he can be found by delivering the
needed oil, munitions and supplies
through sub-infeSted seas. The story
deserves and receives a strong cast
headed by Humphrey Bogart, Ray
mond Massey, Alan Hale, Julie
Bishop and Ruth Gordon.
We meet the men first on a
tanker, heavy with its cargo of
high-octane gasoline, plodding
cautiously through thick Atlantic
fog. The terrifying crash of tor
ferno of flaming oil that pursues
ferno of flaming oil THAT pursues
them even on the surface of the sea.
The undersea's foe comes to the sur
face to ram and sink the survivors
lifeboat 1t is the kind of Wanton
injury the survivors of the crew
do not forget. Thus, when they are
rescued and back in New York they
are ready to leave the safety and
pleasures Of land to go back to
danger on the next ship out.
The men are presented boldly and
robustly, without gliding or CLAM
our, and emerge as competent and
authentic ships crew. Bogart is con-
vincingly at home in his assignment
of first mate, turning in strong,
memorable performance. Raymond
Massey measures his role capably
as Captain Jarvis and Alan Hale is
tough and hearty as the seaman
with remarkable proclivity for
woman trouble.
"Its a great Life newest laugh
hit in the Blonde" series, is the
second hit Of the program and in
addition to the familiar Bumsteads
played by Penny Singleton, Arthur
Lake and Larry Simms, funny-man
Hugh Herbert has been added to the
cast.

Hoot Gibson.
Opening tomorrow for a four day

Featured in the picture is that

Tim and Irene; the colored comic,
Mantan Moreland; then there's
sparkling music by popular Johnny

while in the pictures romantic

Low down rhythms in high

9th, to play four-hour dance en-
gagement. Currently at the Totem
Pole ballroom in Boston, AIS music
has been heard on NBC coast to

Most recently they were headlined

There is dancing every Saturday

GLORIOUS BATAAN'
WAR MASTERPIECE
MacArthur's Great Stand
Dramatized in Current
LOew=POli Feature

Opening today at the Loew Poll
Theater for a five day engagement
is the greatest story ever to be told
of MacArthur's masterful retreat.
Thirteen men in a fever infested
jungle, provide stark drama and
many thrills in "Bataan."
The story deals with thirteen Tex
pendables" assigned to blow up a
bridge and fight a delaying action
to cover the evacuation of the Army
Of Bataan. Human relationships
between the men, whose assignment
dooms them to certain death, pro-
vide a drama within a drama, as
one by one the soldiers fall victim
to bullets and malaria until Robert
Taylor, the last of the gallant pa
troll, stands in his own grave fight
ing to the last.
Taylor has what is unquestionably
the most dramatic role of his career
as the hard-bitten sergeant. The
players represent a literal cross

pines. George Murphy is convinc-
ing as a lost pilot. Thomas Nit
chell plays Corporal Feingold, turn
ing in a skilful character portrayal,
Lloyd Nolan plays criminal who
winds up hero, and Lee Bowman,
Barry Nelson, Desi Arnaz, Phillip
Terry, Tom Dugan, Kenneth Spen-
Ger as Negro soldier, Rogue Esprit
tn, Alex Havier and Donald Curtis
play the other soldiers in the epic
of bravery. Robert Walker is Holly
woods most sensation newcomer in
years.
Unusual in that there is no fem
mime love interest, the story deals
entirely with human relationships
of strong men under fire.
The second hit on the program is
