ter He sure to see this great tech- nicolor hit, it's one of Metro Gold wyn-Mayer's best.
 The second hit on the program is Next Of Kin" with Nova Pilbeam and a cast of favorites. This is a thrilling story of daring spy in- trigue, where wits are matched against wits and cleverness in order to secure information leading to the advances and gains of the opposing side, Nova Pilbeam, plays the role of a night club dancer, using this as a disguise to hide her really true identity that of spy. She receives information from her sweetheart, who believes her to be true, but in- stead she relays it to the enemy. Thrilling events follow and the climax is both amazing and mysti- flying.
 These two great hits will be shown Saturday Morning at 10:0O a. m. at our EARLY BIRD SHOW, which is given every Saturday morning for the benefit of defense workers. Be sure to see them then, and avoid the evening rush.
 Coming to the stage of the Loew Poli theater, Wednesday and Thurs day, and for two days only is an- other extravaganza stage revue featuring forty great stars, singer, dancers, comedians and lovely ladies against background of gorgeous color scenes.

from the P. R. c. Studios, "Isle Of Forgotten Sin," staring tomorrow at the Strand Theater. It stars John Carradine and pretty Gale Sonder- gaard, with Sidney Toler, Frank Fenton, Velda Ann Borg, and Rich Valnn among the featured players.
 As a swashbuckling deep sea diver, with his partner, Frank Fen ton, Carradine gives a colorful per- formance. The two are constantly engaging in murderous fights with each other, as they are rivals for the affection of Gale Sondergaard, proprietress of an island gambling resort to which the traders and planters come on an island steamer.
 A trading steamer has been sunk within recent months, carrying with it chest of three million dollars in gold. Sidney Toler was captain of the steamer. When Carradine dis covers him at the gambling casino claiming to be planter on near by island, along with his purser, young and handsome Rich Vallin, he is immediately suspicious. A stealthy search of the plantation house uncovers a chart showing ex- actly where the Tropic Star was deliberately sunk by its skipper.

Queen Of The
 American Stage

Actress mother magnetism and power radiating from her vic- torious womanhood, on the stage and in person. Such is Ethel Barry more, such is the Queen of the American stage.
 Ethel Barrymore, in her sixties, with combination of ability that brings so much truth to the words which somebody once said, An actress is just little more than a woman." It is always true, but it Is true of Ethel Barrymore now.
 Adela Rogers St. Johns in the September issue of the Cosmopoli- tan is lavish in her praise of the woman whom she considers a great person. Her face has been nodded .by tfH years, its beauty has been wrought by the years. You do not think whether she is old or young. Fbecause long ago she exchanged the process of growing older for the lmerits of experience and the enthu- Siasrn of living"
 Here Is tribute to a woman who has gTaced the stage since she was fourteen years of age. A woman who has lived |. who has seen life from the heights of ecstacy, to the depths of despair. She went into exile, like many a queen before her. and came back to greater triumph than she had ever known, until now she sits once more firmly upon her throne.
 Ethel Barrymore has made the most sensational comeback the stage has ever seen. Made at an age when so many women give up and make no further effort. She has worked out her own philosophy on life.
 You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon . you must learn above all not to waste your soul and your energy and your brain and strength upon all the ItNe things. I suppose the geratest thing in life is loving people - and wanting to destroy the sin but not the sinner and not to forget that when life knocks you to your knees, which it always does and always will - well, that's the best way to pray, isn't it? On your knees. That's where I learned"
 This is Ethel Barrymore who faced life with her own convictions, who rose to heights and looked back

- In -, Hollywood
By ERSKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff COrrespondent

This is the story of a man who, because he wanted to be an actor, discovered that his worst enemy was his father. He studied and rehearsed constantly with the hope of an acting career. He achieved certain amount of prominence on the stage but there was always something in the background which stood between him and his goal Then he came to Hollywood and made his motion picture debut as an actor. And again it was the same old story. He was good enough actor, but well, there was that bar rier-the someone he had encount- cred on the stage. And then an important Hollywood executive, wise in the ways of show business, strengthened him out.
 You ought to give up acting" he said. No matter how good you become, you'll never get the recog- milton you deserve. People will al- ways say that you'll never be as good an actor as your father"
 The young actor saw the wisdom of the friends advice and cast aside the greasepaint and the thoughts of stardom and became a director one of the best didectors in Holly wood. The man whose worst enemy was his father D irector Lloyd Bacon, son of the famous Frank Bacon.
 SPEECHLESS STAR
 This is the story of a man who became one of Hollywood's brightest stars because he didn't say a word Te was new to Hollywood, a not so-successful Broadway stage actor who had decided to try his luck in motion pictures. So far it had been all bad.
 Then came a motion picture in which he was cast as william. II was just another small role-only three days work-only three lines of dialog. But his agent had ar idea. Would the producer mind ii the actor wore black suit? It was an odd request, the producer saio it would be all right. Then, just be- fore the picture started, the agent went to the producer again.
 Look" he said, My client has only three lines of dialog in the entire picture. Would you mind very much if my client just didn't say anything?"
 The producer was dumbfounded An actor not wanting to talk. What was going on?
 Well" explained the agent we've discussed the role and my client says he can play it much better without saying anything"
 The actor was right. The picture was Producer Samuel Goldwyn's "Barbary Coast" The star was Ed ward G. Robinson. But the unknown bit player who stole the picture be- cause he didn't say word was Brian Donlevy.
 TENNESSEE TRILLER
 A dozen or so years ago there was a tiny basement restaurant in the Greenwich Village section of New York city where artists and writers gathered. There was a tinny old piano and. occasionally. some- one would get up and play while the whole group would brust into song. Above the voices of tn eothers could be heard that of a young girl. newly arrived in New York from the hills of Tennessee. Ere quently she was urged to sing alone and she soon proved to be an at- traction.

MUSICAL COMEDY
 AT L0EW'S POLL
"Du Barry Was a Lady" Opens Today with 'Red'
 SkeltOn, Lucille Ball

Mirth, melody and glamor min gle in fantastic musical comedy in "DuBarry Was A Lady" opening today at the Loew Poli theater for a five day engagement.
 Time jumps backward for comedy purposes, and amid the pomp and splendor of the Court of King Louis Red Skelton goes through one of his funniest adventures. Skelton plays a checkroom attendant in a night club, who falls in love with glamor- ous Lucille Ball, wins sweepstakes prize, proceeds to court her, then has dream, in which he imagines he's the king and she's DuBarry. His rivals and associates become characters in his dream; he is plot ted against, foils the plotters, amid comical circumstances, and awakes to find true love.
 Elaborate costumes, gorgeous girls in haunting musical number, Tom my Dorsey and his band in both an- cient and modern syncopation, are among the highlights of the story. Skelton was never funnier, and Zero Mostel, comedian from New York making his screen debut, is irresist- ible, Miss Ball is beautiful, an &C., compllshed actress, and possessed of a charming voice. Many lifting mu- sical numbers, elaborately set, blend with the comical moments.
 Gene Kelly, as Skelton.s love rival turns in a clever performance and Rags Ragland adds to the comical- 1tles, as also does Donald Meek, and Virginia O'Brien dead pan" singe, presents her numbers in her own inimitable style.
 Roy Del Ruth directed the picture with delft skill and a flair for con- edy, and Karl Freund's photography caught the beauty of the gorgeous girls and Irene Cow, effectively, the catchy musical score is by Cole Por-
