POLI'S

Well, girls start swooning. Sinatra is at the Loew Poli, one of the gay est and funniest offerings to come out of Hollywood in long time is "Step Lively" a sparkling tunefilm with an impressive array of stars which opened yesterday at the Loew Pon Theatre. Frank Sinatra, George Murphy, Adolphe Menjou. Gloria De Haven. and Eugene Palette com- prise the stellar sextette who lend their vocal comedy talents to this delightful piece of screen enter tainment they do a splendid job of 1t. A Manhattan hotel is one of the settings for the story which deals in . dizzy fashion with the troubles of a fast-talking show producer en- ieavoring to stage a musical comedy in the face of hilarious handieaps. For one thing. he's broke though he has hopes of enticing a reluctant packer into financing him. For an- other he owes the hotel where he's &aying some fifteen hundred simo- Icons and the hotels auditor is plan- StAAAE W0JO anu AAAGaAAD OA GJ|NAAAA5 him. And for a third he's being plagued by determined young play writer who paid him to stage a drama he had written and who wants results or his money back. The harnessed gentleman's hectic schemes to keep on his feet until he can open his show bring about most of the hilarity, which is fast and furious. Intermingled with it are catchy new tunes some six of them, of which Sinatra sings four; brilliant and novel production num- bers. especially the Ask the Madame" sequence, which film- goers will long remember and Q deftly-handled romance.
 Murphy is at his versatile best as the producer and Sinatra dicloses genuine acting talent of a high order as the playwriter whose hidden abil. ities as q singer prove the deciding factor in the production plans:iThe other stars aided by a fine support ing cast likewise stand out with memorable performances.

The Voice. Says Movies Stink

Hollywood. Sept. S.-iUP)-'Tne Voice"-Frank Sinatra-iS through with the movies.
 Pictures stink" he said today. Most of the people in them do, too"
 It was the second emancipation proclamation in the startling career of the crooner, now finishing his third movie.
 The big-eared Sinatra, whose singing has earned him fortune in radio and in the movies, asserted his independence the first time when he declared himself free from Maestro Tommy Dorsey, the genial gentleman of swing.
 T don't want any more movie acting," The Voice" said in a grumpy tone far different from the sounds that send millions of young females into frances.
 Hollywood won't believe I'm through. but they'll find out I mean it." he said.
 He likes radio as much as he hated pictures and said therefore would devote his time to it entirely.
 No matter how much ''The Voice" hates Hollywood and its people, he'll sacrifice his own feelings and continue to live there.
 'It's a good place to raise chn- dren. tine sun and everything, you know" Sinatra said.
 But as for his Hollywood neigh bors. Slnatra spared no words in telling how he disliked them.
 ''It's a god thing not many of these jerks came up as rapidly as I did. If they had, you couldn't get near them without running in- terference through three secre- taries." The Voice" declared.

QUESTION RAISED
 ON JURISDICTION
City Moves to Wave Notice of Appeal Removed
 From Docket

A motion to erase the appeal in stituted in superior court by two Town Plot residents who were den- jed permission to set up gasoline station at Highland and Rosemount avenues will be heard at short calender session of the court to- morrow.
 The motion to erase was filed by Corporation Council Maurice T. Healey and his assistant, Attorney Edward Mcdonald. It states the superior court has no jurisdiction in the case entered by Michael DeNicola and John Franz against Mayor John S. Monagan.
 Judge Robert L. Munger recently denied a motion of the plaintiffs for judgment on the ground the defendant failed to enter pleadings within the required time. The jur- ist in his memorandum on the mo- ton suggested that the defendant file a motion to erase the appeal.
 The two men appealed from a ruling of the mayor who denied them permission to set up the gaso- line station. They claimed the leg islative act under which he acted is unconstitutional and is "claSS legislation"
