days only, is the greatest band in the land, Johnny Long and his very popular orchestra. The band in 1942 received one of the highest honors, as being the one picked to play at the Presidents birthday ball in Washington. On tour with the Andrews Sisters, the orchestra so- lidified it's popularity with old fol- lowers ard gained many new ones. They also completed a successful Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, and then back to the Hotel New Yorker, for a summer engagement, after having in 1941 created a sen- sation at the Mid-t town Manhattan hotel Featured with the band is the very lovely Marilyn Day and hand some Gene Williams singing your favorite tunes in your favorite way.

STATE

If you intend to see the mar yelous double hit show currently at the air conditioned State theater you'u have to hurry as performances conclude its engagement tomorrow evening. Action in the North At lantic" is the headliner and stars Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Mas sey and Alan Hale; while Its a Great Life" with the BumSteads and Hugh Herbert is the second hit of the program.
 The war has yielded many thrill ing stories for books, stage ana screen SO far, and there VIII pc many more to come, but one ol the most intriguing ideas yet filmed seems to be that contained ln the new adventure movie Five Graves to Cairo" which comes Wednesday to the State.
 The title itself is one to pique the curiosity and from all accounts the story lives up to the interest if creates, having as it does for background the titanic struggle m Africa between the British Elghtn Army and Rommel's Afrika Korps. The Five Graves to Cairo" IS RommePs secret - a secret stum- bled upon in the picture by Brl- tish tank corporal in the person of Franchot Tone.
 As the story unfolds, Tone de- lirious from sunstroke, stumples lllto what he believes to be British controlled hotel only to find that if is about to become staff head quarters for Field Marshal Rommel He disguises himself as a waiter, with the help of Akim Tamlro1l' Egyptian hotel owner, and a little French chambermaid, played by Anne Baxter. When Rommel moves into the hotel with his staff, Tone is amazed to be accepted as one of the NaZis, a trusted advance fifth-columniSt.
 How Tone acquires the secret ol the Five Graves to Cairo and man. ages to deliver it to the BrltlSh authorities provides plenty ot eX- citement and gives the films the reputation for being one of the best of the recent War-background ad- venture films. It marks the re- turn of Erich von Stroheim to Holly wood in a role that is probably the best he ever had-that Of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
 1.-TWO Senoritas from Chicago" a rollicking jamboree of poy, filled with merry music, riotous romance dazzling dances and hilarious laughs is the second hit of Wednesdays new show and presents Joan DaVi Davi and Jinx Falkenbeurg in fea- tured roles.
