Robt. Young Playing Lead Tops Loew-Poli's
 Attractive Current Program

Now playing at the Loew-Poli theater is that sparkling romantic comedy "Those Endearing Young Charms" starring Robert Young and. Laraine Day. How a heart breaker gets his cof11e-uppance is refreshingly told in this story of a modern wolf who steals his friends girl, only to be thoroughly tanned by the time she gets through with him.
 Robert Young is the dashing Air Corps Lieutenant, Laraine Day is the girl who works in department store, Bill Williams is the hkablbe though naive young Air Corps Me- chanic, who unwisely bring the two together, with disastrous results to his own romantic interests. Ann Harding has the role of Helen's mother, and guides her lovely daughter through the maze of amus- ing complications that ensue when Young seeks to add Helen to his long list of romances and sweeps the girl completely off her feet.
 How Young is cured forever Of his romantic philanderings, and (nearly) everybody lives happily ever afterwards, forms the climax of this engaging theme. Piquant situations, sparkling dialog, and superb performances from the four main characters, make this picture a romantic comedy gem. of the sea- son.
 'Those Endearing Young Charms" will please you on account of its gay and lively love story, its charm ing wit and its eternal triangle of lovers. Robert Young, in 8 slight departure from his usual straight romantic parts, has never done bet ter work, and Laraine Day adds arl- other triumph to her already long list. Miss Harding gives the role of the mother beauty and charm. and
