STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of "Flesh and Fantasy" lauded as one of the most ddeply expressing motion pictures ever to come from Hollywood.
 Boosting a galaxy of stars such as Charles Boyer, Barbara Stan- wyck, Robert Benchley, Betty Field, Robert Cummings, Edward c. Rob- inson and score of others ''Flesh and Fantasy" is described as a radi- cal departure in screen entertain ment.
 Based on stories of Oscar Wilde, LaSlo Vadnay and Ellie St. Joseph, the new film is said to blend three dramatic episodes with novel ef- feet. Ernest Pascal, Samuel Hoffen- stein and Ellis St. Joseph wrote the screen play which is declared to be a remarkable contribution to movie literature. Fact and fancy are mingled in fascinating manner as separate trains of human events overlap through circumstance and logical coincidence.
 Strangely interwoven are the ex- perienced of 8 homely woman who becomes glamorous and finds love; the would-be murderer who meets his own doom because of a clair voyant; and the high-wire artist of circus who skirts disaster after an extraordinary dream.
 Startling suspense is claimed to have been achieved by the unique plot construction and the wide vari- ety of intriguing sequences. Expert portrayalS are credited to the films co-starS among whom are such we'll known as Edgar Barrier, Thomas Mitchell, c. Aubrey Smith, Anna Lee, Dame May Whitty and Charles Winninger.
 All in all Flesh and Fantasy" is one picture everyone should see, so put it right at the top of your must see" list and be sure to see 1t at the State because it positively con- cludes its engagement with per- formanceS Saturday evening.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents the hilari- ous comedy Beautiful But Broke" with radios number one comedienne Joan Davis heading the top flight cast of favorites If you think Joan is funny on the radio just wait until you see her on the screen Her antics will roll you in the aisles.

"Women In Bondage" is a motion picture calculated to make ones blood boil, or else to run cold, de- pending on how one reacts to its revelations on conditions affecting the female population in present. day Germany. But its dramatic presentation cannot fail to engender intense anger and loathing for a ruthless regime which is shown to have lost all moral sense.
 Gail Patrick and Nancy Kelly are co-starred in this timely drama, and both are seen to especial advantage in the poignant roles of two German women who eventually suffer per- Secution and brutality at the hands of the Hitler government. Among the many other popular screen

stated that while many services
are rendered today to small
plants the utilization of the
productive facilities of small

mains the main function of

He said that with the chang
ing conditions in the various
theatres of the war causing cut
backs and cancellations of Ger
tain prime contracts the SUBJ
contractor is likewise cutback
or cancelled.
AS the contract lis probably
the only job he is working ON
he must be taken care of at
once-he cannot keep going if
he does not have work. SWPC's
services in assisting these
plants is needed more today
than ever before.
Subcontracting helps three
ways: lst. 1t speeds up produc-
tion of material for the armed
services. End. 1t breaks up bot
tlenecks for the prime contrac-
tor caused by shortage of labor
and machinery. 3rd. 1t keeps
the small plants-the backbone
of our economic structure-op-
