POLI'S

Absolutely the greatest show that has ever been ill town, in the comedy line, is the concensus of opinions of the throng that have crowded the Loew-Poh theater over the weekend to see the heart-warming comedy program now offered there made up of Red Skelton and his gang of funsters in "Whistling in Brooklyn" and on the same program there is beauteous Susan Peters with Her bert Marshall and Mary Astor.
 Make your plans now to see this superlative show before it leaves town on Thursday night, or be cheated of the amusement treat of this or any other season.
 Once in lifetime there comes a picture that stands head over heels above others, and a picture of that caliber has been secured for show ing at the Loew-Poli theater start ing this Friday, it is the tale of the glamour boys of the armed forces, air force. The title of the film which you are no doubt familiar with and have been waiting for is "A Guy Named Joe" and in the leading role of Joe" is none other than the favorite masculine star, the man who has never been seen in bad picture, Spencer Tracy, he is ably assisted in this film, which is now theatrical history in New York city and is brought to Water bury for one of the earliest show ings in the country outside New York, the stars who support him and assure you of great entertain ment are. Irene Dunne, Van John son, James Gleason, Ward Bond, Lionel Barrymore, Barry Nelson, Esther Williams and host of others all woven into story that has the clements of intense drama and mysticism woven into a surprising story that has proven its worth, it has an unusual theme, something that has not been treated in a film before, and one that will give you new enjoyment and thrills, that you have never before experienced.
 Spencer Tracy needs no introduc- tion to local fans and in this film he outdoes all of his other work, with him as his rival and best pal is Ward Bond, the love interest is Irene Dnune and this is the first time that she has ever appeared with Tracy, and her talents are just what were needed for the handling of the role in this most novel of plots to come out of Hollywood in long time.
 With Lionel Barrymore and James Gleason also cast in leading roles Gleason as the Colonel and Lionel Barrymore as the General, who gives them the information that makes this thrilling and novel film.

Beauties Hints
 Keep Head Cold Secret By Using CamOuflage Aids
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Head cold? Keeping red nose, ruffled skin and other ravages a secret calls for special strategy. A cover-up foundation and a powder that matches will give you brighter outlook and your face a more uni- formly rosy tint. For the sake of your morale and your skin pores, which aid and abet your body in usher ing out toxins, change your makeup often and start from scratch. If lip tissues have acted up, coat with an antiseptic pomade before coloring your mouth, ana carefully coat with a reliable brand of lipstick.
 Hair that goes limp on you, can be freshened up without dunking, which isn't advised, if you'll sprinkle on one of the specially-prepared bone-dry shampoos or talcum, and will whip the stuff out with vigor- ous attack from your brush. Clean up any dust that settles on your scalp with swabbing of hair tonic or rubbing alcohol. Then, wind your curls into commas, and see how much fresher they look when you comb them out.

M The Local TheaterS

Boyer and Julien Duvier, comes to the State on Wednesday.
 The new film, described as radical departure in screen entertainment, has cast of noted stars which in- clude many outstanding cinema players. The stars include Robert Benchley, Betty Firld, Robert Cum mings, Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer and Barbara Stankyck.
 Based on stories by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph, Flesh and Fantasy" is said to blend three dramatic episodes with novel effect. Ernest Pascal, Samuel Hoffenstein and Ellis St. Joseph wrote the screen play which is de- clared to be remarkable con- trbiution to movie literature. Fact and fancy are mingled in fasci- hating mannel as separate trains of human events overlap through cir cumstance and logical coincidence.
 Strangely interwoven are the ex- periences of homely woman who becomes glamorous and finds love; the would-be murderer who meets his own doom because of 8 clair voyant; and the high-wire artist of a circus who skirts disaster after an extraordinary dream.
 Startling suspense is claimed to have been achieved by the unique plot construction and wide variety of intriguing sequences. Expert por- trayals are credited to the films co-stars among whom are such we'll knownS as Edgar Barrier, Thomas Mitchell, c. Aubrey Smith, Anna Lee, Dame May Whitty and Charles Winninger.
 Joan Davis in Beautiful But Broke" will be he second hit of Wednesdays new show.

 She thought her boy was pretty young to be going into combat, but she knew he'd be a good soldier.
 She seemed to want that above everything else. When I get him off alone" she said, I'm going to tell him that when he gets scared to remember the things his Dad has taught him through the years and to act in such a way that his Dad would be proud of him." DELIVERS RING
 Then she talked about his girl. He had called his girl long distance and asked her If she would wear his ring and the girl had said Yes"
 So Nom and Dad were going to bring the ring back with them. She said they thought the engage ment was a good thing, even though the kids were young. They would be older before they could be married. And she thought it would help them both through the period of separa- tion to be formally" engaged.
 Parents such as these don't need any pep talks about keeping up the morale of their sons.
 If their boys aren't good soldiers, it certainly isn't the parents fault. Not when they ask first that their boys stand the test of battle. And when they are understanding enough to be glad that their boy has a girl waiting for him back home.

clotheSpinS were seventh.
 If you were among the 1S per cent who shopped for a pail or bucket during the three months pre- ceding the survey, you had less than half chance to find one. Demand was three times as great on farms, and two thirds of the unsatisf1ed de- mand was in the south. Of the 6 per cent of the people who wanted new washboards, half of them failed to find one. More than twice as many people shopped for wash tub. Only about one-fifth of them could find a suitable one, and they reported the shortage a definite 1n- convenience.
 PRODUCTION SPURTS
 There is a happy conclusion to this story of washday woe, how ever, because manufacturers of pails, tubs, and boilers have had big increases in materials alloca- ted to their use. On January ? their quotas of iron and steel were brought up the 92 1-2 per cent of their usage in 1941. For the past year, manufacturers have been allowed 50 per cent of previous usage, before that only 10 per cent 50 civilian supplies should be about doubled in 1944.
 Washday no longer should be Blue Monday for the 29 per cent of people who reported they had trouble buying laundry soap. Ad- ditional amounts of soap are be- ing manufactured by using more resin, of which there is plenty, instead of scarcer materials. Much of the unsatisfied demand for laundry soap was for flakes or powders. Since more resin can be put into these forms of Soap than into toilet soap, manufacturers may make more flakes.
 Clothespins also turned up among the top shortage items, with more people in the west un- able to find them than in other sections, and a fairly general dis satisfaction with those made with substitutes for the usual metal springs. However, there still is no official program for more or better clothespins.
