STATE

One of the funniest movie farces ever filmed began its engagement at Warmers State theater this after noon when Road to Morocco" be- gan its engagement at that theater and had audiences bowling from the start.
 Starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope ard Dorothy Lamour, Road to Nor occo" features a host of new songs, hilarious laughs ard score of gor- geous girls. The new hit, accord ing to reports, way out-does, by &C., tual count of gags and laughs, Road to Singapore" and Road to Zanzi- bar" both of which also triple starred Crosby, Hope and Miss La- mour.
 Morocco" follows the same gen. eral idea as the other two Road" films in that it concentrates on gags and laughs, girls and music, and just lets the story keep up with them as best it can.
 A lot of people will have heard about Mabel, the talking camel about Bings' selling Bob into sup posed slavery and then finding him living in the lap of luxury in the pal ace of Princess Shalmar Dorothy Lamour)-about the scene in the desert when Bob actually becomes "a monkeys uncle"-about the breakup of the Sheik's retreat and the rescue of the princess; all of the gags are the kind that are sure No get word- d-of-mouth buildup. That's why it might be 8 good idea to see the picture early, and be the first to tell your friends about the gags.
 Just to think of Bing and Bob made up to look like Arabs is enough to get a laugh. And Hopes fans are

when he starred in the Mickey Mc- Guire Comedies. The studio selected Rooney because 1t was Irish. :. The longest theater marquee in the world would not hold Leopold stokowski's real name = Leopold Antoni Stanislay Boleslawowicz Stokowsl1i. Dorthea Schaffer became Dorothea Kent-after Kent collars.
 Robert Taylor was Spangler Arlington Brugh and he was named for his father, pr. E. A. Brugh of Filley. Neb. As 8 boy he was known as Arlington. When he was signed by Metro, Louis B. Mayer decided nobody would be able to pronounce Brugh. Robert Stanhope was considered because as Captain Stanhcpe in a college production of Journeys End" he first won a film test. But Mayer thought that Stanhope didn't sound American enough. Finally Mayors secretary suggested Taylor" and Robert Taylor he became.

going to howl with delight when they see him gotten up like pam pered pasha. He took a lot of kid- ding from Crosby for his fancy cos- tuning, but Hope claims it was worth it just to get inside harem for once in his life, even if it's only the Hollywood variety.
 Such goings-on as go on in Road to Morocco" have won it the reputa- ton of being the funniest, wackiest film ever made individually or col- lectively by two of Americas top funnymen.
 Wildcat, with Richard Arlen and Airline Judge, is the second big hit of the program.
