BY ERSKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent

Hollywood.-Turn time back sev- eral years to couple of Irish kids playing on thme sidewalks of New York.
 The younger one, little more than a baby, suffers bruised chin when the neighborhood bully "a boy about five years older-takes poke at him. He doesn't say anything, but his older brother notices the bruise and finds out what happened.
 The older brother seeks out the bully and, with that gusto for which he became famous in Hol- lywood many years later, gives the mean kid a whipping.
 Every time the younger brother gets in trouble with the neigh borhood mob, which is often, the older brother is always there to help.
 Now skip score of years.
 The older brother is star in Hollywood. The younger brother is in New York, rising young advertising executive.
 The older brother is in trouble now. His studio is making him play stereotyped tough guy roles and he isn't receiving the money his tremendous popularity entities him to. He telephones the kid brother, who hops a plane to Hol- lywood and puts his business acu- men to work.
 HITS JACKPOT
 In a couple of years, under a new contract negotiated by the kid brother, the star is out of the rut of stereotyped roles and one of the highest-paid actors in Holly wood.
 That's the story of Jimmy and Bill Cagney.
 Jimmy was the trouble when they were kids in New York
 Bill is the trouble-shooter now in Hollywood.
 A beefy duplicate of Jimmy, Bill handles all matters of busi- ness for the red-haired star and has brought him from the gang ster, tough-talking period to an Academy award winner. This Bill did by producing such pictures as

POLI'S

Opening today at the Loew-Poli theater is the appealing romance, The Enchanted Cottage" with Dor othy McGpire and Robert Young teamed again, and sharing stellar honors with Herbert Marshall. 'The Enchanted Cottage" presents an un- usually touching romance of a wounded war veteran and a sensi- tive desolate country girl as its thematic basijs.
 Brought up to date from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's original stage sr 1ces, the dramatic romance from RkO Radio casts Young as a flyer who is badly disfgured while fight ing the Japs in New Guinea. Un- able to bear the maudlin sympathy Of his parents and his fiancee, he goes into seclusion at lonely cot tage on the New England coast where he had once planned to spend his honeymoon.
 There Miss McGuire, a village girl whose plainness has made her something of recluse also, and Marshall a blind pianist, help to bring Young back to a saner out look on life. Brought together by a common bond, the flyer and the girl fall in love( and this crystal lizes in marriage when Young,s family threaten to take him away from the cottage for his own good
 A notable cast includes Mildred Natwick, Spring Byington and Richard Gaines and Hilary Brooke
 The second attraction on this program is fast-moving gangster melodrama ''The Chicago Kid" with Don Red" Barry in the leading role.

Late in 1882, Hamp MCGEE, an
elderly recluse, was shot 10 death as
he shaved at a mirror in his home.
Months later, Sam Henderson and
his wife were awakened at night by
an intruder The man shot both the
Hendersons and beat their baby over
the head.
Mrs. Henderson died. Henderson
and his child recovered. and Hen
derson was able TO provide a meager
description of the killer.
Vigilantes were organized and they
soon tracked down Radar Davis,
youth with a criminal record, as a
suspect He confessed killing Niece,
Mrs. Henderson and w. +. Stanley,
a farmer, as well as committing doz-
ems of robberies.
Davis was quickly tried, convicted
of murder and sentenced TO the cleo

1888 awaiting execution when he sent

The most amazing part OF the
entire proceedings was Coleman's
aloofnesS. Some said he simply was
a cold-blooded killer, utterly unaf-
